Q: White is the most common color worn to accentuate a tan. It is the best color to make your skin appear darker than it really is. Bright white is best for cool skin tones. Off-white is best for naturally golden skin tones. Blue is a great choice to complement your tan. Any shade of blue accentuates your tan, but some shades of blue make tans stand out more than others. Colors of the sea are the best shades. Choose warm blue-greens to make your tan glow. To make your tan appear darker, wear lighter shades of blue. Colors like orange, yellow, and lime green look great on people with golden skin tones. Citrus colors will enhance the glow your skin has picked up from a tan, whether you got the tan naturally or unnaturally. Fruity colors like watermelon, melon, and berry will also do a good job of contrasting your tan. Coral and warm pinks do a good job of adding a rosy glow. Consider these colors if you do not like wearing too bright of colors, but want to accentuate your tan.
A: Wear white. Choose different shades of blue. Pick out citrus and fruity colors. Look for coral and warm shades of pink.

Q: Consider the season and the time of day you'll be taking the photos so you can prepare accordingly. If you're shooting outside, work with the weather rather than against it. If it's very sunny, find a nice shaded spot or a place where the senior will be backlit. If it's overcast, work with the soft lighting. If it's too overcast or dark, you can use photography lights during the session. A shallow depth of field is usually ideal for senior pictures. A shallow depth of field allows for the background to be slightly blurry and for your subject to be the focus. For this type of photo, an aperture around f/2.8 to f/5.6 is ideal. Talking to your client will make it easier to take better photos because they will feel comfortable with you. During the session, ask about their plans for the upcoming year, plans for after high school, or how their season is going if they are a part of a team or club. You can also ask them if they have ideas for poses or pictures. Relevant props may include track shoes, a letter jacket, medals or trophies, a band instrument, and other similar items. A relevant prop doesn't even have to be associated with school. It could be something to do with the senior's passion, such as their favorite hobby. Including these props in a few senior photos adds a specific memory the senior can look back on later. Some photos naturally need to be serious or fairly standard, but it's okay to get some creative shots in during the session. You can get creative by using a different lens, like a fisheye lens. You can also get creative with the location. Go to a candy shop or bookstore for a few photos. If you want to have photos taken in a business, make sure to get permission from the owners or manager first. When editing, always go the classic route when it comes to senior photos, rather than choosing trendy styles. For example, giving your photos the matte treatment may be trendy right now, but the style may not stand the test of time. However, black and white photos will look great at any time. Don't oversaturate the color in a photo, but definitely go for saturation over mute, bland colors. Another trend is editing photos to make them look vintage. It can look great if done correctly, but may not hold up in the future.
A: Ensure the location has good lighting. Choose an aperture around f/2.8 to f/5.6. Establish rapport in order to connect with your client. Use relevant props. Get creative with different lenses and locations for a few fun photos. Use classic editing styles.

Q: They're sold at most pharmacies and beauty supply stores, and there are a ton of different brands and styles on the market. If your goal is to make them look natural, you want to avoid the dramatically long, the unnaturally spiky, and the outrageously full ones. If you want them to look real, bigger is not necessarily better. Choose a pair that look like your dream natural eyelashes. If you can't find any that look natural in the store, check online. You will endless options if you order online, and you can also read reviews from others who have tried particular brands or styles. For most people, your false eyelashes won't be ready to go right out of the box. First, you'll need to trim them so that they fit your own, unique eye perfectly. Before applying any glue to them, hold them up to your eyelid and determine how much you'll need to trim off the end. Use small scissors to carefully cut the lashes. The finished lash strip should be the same length as your natural lashes. If you skip this step, the extra length will rub against your skin as you blink and cause the eyelashes to come loose. Not to mention they won't look very natural! There is a bit of a debate about which eyelash glue is best, so you can weigh your options. Some pairs of eyelashes come with glue, but often you'll need to buy your own. Eyelash glue is sold at pharmacies and beauty supply stores in small tubes that you can use for many applications. The most common type of eyelash glue comes out of the tube white and then dries clear. If you're skilled at applying false eyelashes, you can apply them carefully and avoid any clumps of glue showing. You can also purchase black eyelash glue. This works well if you line your lash line with dark eyeliner before applying your lashes, because any black glue will blend into it.
A:
Purchase a natural-looking pair of false eyelashes. Trim your eyelashes. Buy the proper eyelash glue.
