Ever walk out the door feeling like you're looking great only to have your picture taken and hate the results? Even the best African American skin care products will come off as shiny or too thick in photos if you're not applying them correctly, especially since digital cameras can zoom in so close you can almost see every pore. Recently, Allure magazine spoke to makeup artists Romy Soleimani and Gucci Westman, who explained the secrets for creating a picture-perfect look.
First, the magazine says you have to be careful when applying undereye concealer. If your concealer is lighter than your foundation, then it will look too light under the influence of a camera flash. Instead, be sure to choose the right color and blend well.
Next, be sure to use the right tools to make sure you don't look too shiny.
"To avoid a dull, powdery complexion, control oil with blotting papers," said Westman, quoted by Allure "Keep your T-zone super matte, but keep your upper cheekbones or the bridge of your nose more luminous because you want that youthful glow," added Soleimani, also quoted by the news source.
Cosmopolitan magazine says that to look good in pictures, stand up straight and turn one slightly towards the camera. This will make you appear longer and leaner.
