Avoid using bright colors on your eyes and cheeks because the light will vividly pick up everything in your pictures. And hard lines that are not well blended will only be accentuated. Look for matte lip colors. Stay away from glosses, but apply a moisturizing conditioner if lips are very dry. Keep in mind that outdoor light tends to make you look washed out, and direct sunlight can cast shadows and create lines.
Shady light is the most flattering.
Warm indoor lighting is also a good choice for pictures. If you need to fill in your brows, uniformly apply an eyeshadow instead of a liner for a softer effect. If possible, remove eyeglasses at least one half hour before photos are taken so there are no indentations left on your nose. For example, long hair worked into a chignon with tendrils is a classic, pretty look. And don't use too many styling products-your locks may give out by the end of the day.
