Believe it or not, there are some things that you can do to help improve your makeup for flash photography. By following these tips, you&#8217;ll be able to look great in any picture!<\/p>\n<p>Lighting and exposure are probably the two most important factors in good makeup photography. Regardless of the camera settings or light source used, a proper foundation for clean skin tone reproduction should be considered from the start.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, I&#8217;ll go over some techniques I use to get great results with both fluorescent and flash photography in particular. The biggest challenge is getting a nice clean white balance without too many contaminants and reflected color casts off other objects in the room that may not be obvious to you but will show up in your photos when they&#8217;re lit by fluorescent or electronic flash lighting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26\" src=\"http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_3_IMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"824\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_3_IMAGE.jpg 824w, http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_3_IMAGE-300x122.jpg 300w, http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_3_IMAGE-768x311.jpg 768w, http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_3_IMAGE-535x217.jpg 535w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why does makeup look bad with flash?<\/h2>\n<p>Are you frustrated with how your makeup looks in photographs? Whether it&#8217;s portraits or selfies, here are some tips to help improve your makeup for flash photography. First, use a primer to create a smooth base. You can also use a matte foundation, as it will photograph better than a dewy finish. For eyeshadow, stick to neutral shades and avoid anything too shimmery. And finally, use a lip color that is matte or semi-matte to prevent it from looking glossy in photos. With these tips, you&#8217;ll be able to look your best in any photo.<\/p>\n<h2>Professional makeup and photography tips for high-quality photos<\/h2>\n<p>Lighting for a photograph is a little bit more complicated than you might think. As a makeup artist, I have to know how different lighting can affect makeup application and textures on the face. The difference between the quality of light from a Tungsten bulb vs. fluorescent or LED can be drastic as far as how it appears on camera and in person. To achieve optimum results when photographing my clients, I understand that what looks good in person will not always look good under camera flash\/strobe lights. Studio strobes are pretty different from those found in most people&#8217;s homes, so this article comes with some valuable insight about using ambient lights for your photos. I believe this knowledge will help you capture your best images without having to master the technical aspects of photography.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27\" src=\"http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_1_IMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"makeup look\" width=\"826\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_1_IMAGE.jpg 826w, http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_1_IMAGE-300x151.jpg 300w, http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_1_IMAGE-768x387.jpg 768w, http:\/\/geowyeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/makeup_for_flash_photography_1_IMAGE-535x269.jpg 535w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>There are a few things to keep in mind when wearing makeup for flash photography<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The first is that you should avoid using too much powder, as it can create a white cast in photos.<\/li>\n<li>Secondly, you&#8217;ll want to avoid using dark eye shadow and liner, as they will appear very stark against your skin in photos.
