Most people don’t think of having
their makeup professionally done for their engagement session, because they
think they would just like something natural and could probably do it themselves.
However, if you are investing in professional photography, you want to ensure
to look your best and have photo friendly makeup; while still looking and
feeling like yourself.
Here are a few things to remember.
Primarily, professional photography will minimize your makeup (it will appear
to remove about 20% of what you have on your face). So once you see the photos
you may be surprised that you did not have coverage you thought. You may even
look “washed out”. Because of the way professional photographers use light
artistically you will also notice that skin imperfections are more noticeable
if not concealed properly.
The type of makeup used is also
important, as not all makeup is photo friendly. You want to avoid any makeup
that reflects light; which includes shimmery makeup and makeup that contains
these light reflecting ingredients: titanium dioxide, mica, zinc, paba, and any
oxides. These ingredients will make skin lighter and often look gray, white,
purple, or bluish. Proper highlighting and contouring can also make a huge
difference in your photographs. Airbrush makeup application is highly
recommended as it is the closest in skin appearance, and has a beautiful light
weight finish. 
Many brides take advantage of their
engagement session to schedule their bridal trial/consultation. Since your
makeup will be “photo ready” it’s easy to quickly make a few changes to your
bridal look, and be ready to go for your engagement session! You will have an
opportunity to see what the makeup looks like in photographs, and how long it
will last. Why not get the V.I.P treatment for engagement shoot!
