| Your
make-up kit needs a few essentials to get started... at a good sale
this basic kit should cost you very little to get going.
-Liquid Foundation: For those photoshoots that happen to be out doors...
outdoor shoots don't require the coverage that studio lighting requires.
-Cake Foundation: For those studio sessions. There are many cake foundations
available now in your local Pharmacy. Try Revlon, Maybelline or Covergirl,
they all have a cake foundation available for a reasonable price.
-Mascara: black os great for most people... if you are fair however
you may be better off with a brown/black so that it looks more natural.
For Black and White however a black is certainly recommended.
-Liquid Cover-up: Revlon, Maybelline or Covergirl all provide good
coverage...
-Eye Shadows:
-Lipsticks: You will need at least three colours.
1. Pale, try a glossy or nude
2. Medium, a colour that you would use during the day
3. Dark, a deep brown or red for those dramatic Black and whites
-Blusher combo: A nice natural blusher, and a deeper version to use
for contours.
-Chapstick: Need I say more?
-Bronzer: this can add a nice over all glow, or be used as a blusher...
When choosing a foundation remember that the colour of your face
skin and your body sometimes differ, you need to choose a colour that
is close to your body colour due to the fact that photographs will
capture all skin not just your face. You may need to have someone
there helping you when you choose your colour... and be sure to test
the colour on your jawline rather than your hand or middle of your
cheek... here you are getting a better idea of how the foundation
matches both your face and neck.
There are millions of great books out there that can offer tips as
to how to apply make-up... so we won't try to rewrite what is already
widely available... However we would like to recommend a few books
that you should either pick up from the library or buy at your local
book store.
