If you want to maximize the results of your photo shoot, it is essential to consider hiring a makeup artist.

Blank Canvas: the most important part of a professional make up application is the priming of the face before applying color. The makeup artist will even out the skin tone and hide any blemishes that might stand out in a photograph.

Color: Once the face is primed and ready for color, the makeup artist will apply the right colors for the occasions. For example, burgundy and wine shades show best on black and white pictures.

He or she will know to avoid the use of glitter, and to minimize the application of powders on “mature” skin.

A great makeup artist will always ask what the client is comfortable with (unless it is for a magazine! models don’t get much say) in terms of makeup. The goal is to embellish the already possessed beauty and to make the client feel comfortable and confident.

So, whether or not you wear makeup regularly, it is always a good call to hire a makeup artist.
