The one thing I always tell my clients when I am doing the makeup for a photoshoot (specially the ones that are not used to wearing any makeup) is that for a photoshoot you should wear about 30% more product that you would for a normal application. Why? you ask, well during a shoot you are most likely going to be exposed with artificial lighting, which tends to pale the skin. Even outside, photographers will use reflectors on you to capture the sun’s light and get your face exposed. Another thing to keep in mind is that SPF products should be completely avoided. SPF is designed to deflect the lighting from your skin so that UVA rays dont penetrate, this deflection will show as a ghost face in any picture, so… thats a big ‘no bueno’.

When it comes to your wedding day, how should you wear makeup? That is a great question, as there is no exact correct answer. At the end of the day you are the one who needs to feel comfortable wearing it and feeling true to your own self. Here is some advice that I have gathered through the years of doing hair and makeup here in Utah. Don’t over do it: years from now when you show your wedding day pictures to your kids, you will regret looking overdone. Do wear natural glam makeup: opt for a natural but still glamourous look that will accentuate your natural features but still kick things to a new level.

Remember, choosing a makeup artist can do or break your mood for the day. Give us a call and we would be more than happy to walk you through the process.
