How to Look Good in Photographs

Whether you want to snap an amazing selfie, or you wish to look great in a professional photo, knowing how to look good in photographs is something the majority of us desire. While not everyone is photogenic, using a few little tricks here and there can make an astounding difference. Look slimmer Turning your body slightly to the side with your shoulder facing the camera helps to fake a slimmer appearance.

Whether you want to snap an amazing selfie, or you wish to look great in a professional photo, knowing how to look good in photographs is something the majority of us desire. While not everyone is photogenic, using a few little tricks here and there can make an astounding difference.

Look slimmer

Turning your body slightly to the side with your shoulder facing the camera helps to fake a slimmer appearance.

Choose the right foundation

Your foundation should be the same colour as your skin. It’s also important to avoid wearing foundations with SPF if you’re having your picture taken as these can cause flashback, resulting in the whitening of your face.

Lengthen your lashes

Defining your lashes with mascara will help to make your eyes pop. If you’re feeling brave, a coloured mascara can accentuate the natural colour of your eyes. Use purple mascara for brown and green eyes, blue mascara for blue eyes and green mascara for hazel eyes.

Add a little gloss

A spritz of hair gloss can make a massive difference to your tresses. Camera flashes tend to enhance shiny hair, giving you that A-list glow.

Blot oil

If you suffer from combination or oily skin, use blotting paper to eliminate any shiny patches. Dust the face with a little powder but only mattify your t-zone. If the skin appears too matte, it can dull your complexion, so use a little cream blush and highlighter on your cheeks to give a healthy, radiant glow.

Be aware of direct light

Direct light would give even Beyoncé an unflattering appearance. Instead, make use of natural lighting, especially on the side of the face, to create a beautiful, complementary hue on your silhouette.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
