5 Makeup Mistakes: Prepare to be Photographed

Whether it's a wedding day or a scheduled photo session, we all want to look our best when being photographed. Here are 5 important makeup mishaps to avoid when you know you'll be in the spotlight.

  1. SPF
    Of course, it's important to use sunscreen every day; however, products labeled with "SPF" should be avoided with flash photography. The ingredients Titanium Dioxide and Zinc oxide have light reflecting properties that can cause your skin to look shiny and colorless. 
  2. HD Makeup
    Cosmetics that are referred to as HD (high definition) contain silica powder, which is also highly reflective.... Make that EXTREMELY reflective. Check out the images of these celebrities wearing Makeup Forever's HD Powder!
  3. Skimping
    Pictures seem to lessen the appearance of makeup. Don't hesitate to put on a little more blush than you typically would for everyday wear. This also goes for eye makeup and lip color, but don't go crazy! ... Just a little.
  4. Foundation Finishes
    Mind the type of finish your foundation has. Satin or dewy foundations can cause the skin to look oily and sweaty when met with a flash. Try choosing a matte finish. However, be careful if you have dry skin! Matte foundations can cake easily if your skin is not properly moisturized. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, I highly recommend carrying along some blotting tissues!
  5. Shimmer
    Once again, shimmer deals with reflecting light. I suggest avoiding all cosmetics with shimmer including blushes, bronzers, and shadows. I know, they are beautiful!... but when those little specs of shimmer catch the flash.... shiny face. So, resist the urge, ladies! 


Now, you are officially prepared to make the duck face... Kidding! Please, don't.
