Makeup in Fashion Photography

The Makeup Artist

There are lots of make up artist in the world, but to become an artist you must have all the experience you can get. You need to know and master the techniques of application of fashion makeup, you must know about the colour schemes. It is not as easy as it looks and there are a lot of rules. This does not mean that you have to stick to those rules but to use them as a guideline for your work. Practice makes perfect. Inspire yourself with everything that is around you. You will end up looking at nature or buildings and you see something that inspires you, write it down and you will see that idea pop up in any of your artistic fashion makeup work sooner or later.

The Photographer

Fashion photography is not just taking a photo of model. There is alot of work behind that photograph. It is not only the lighting setup or the background used. Styling the model with appropriate makeup takes alot of the merit in having a good or bad photograph. Make up should not be to much overdone to the point that lighting or the setup of the stage to become unnoticed. Everything must be balanced to produce one whole complete picture.

The Camera

There is alot of different types of makeup. Makeup done for going to work or for a saturday night out or just to look good in your everyday life normally is not good for fashion photography and to be photographed. Special techniques and different colour schemes are necessary to be mastered to become a good effective fashion makeup artist that is dedicated to photography.
