Natural Makeup
The natural look makeup should be barely visible. All skin imperfection must be concealed and some elements must be accentuated to prevent them from "getting lost" due to the photographer's shortcomings-but it must be very light. in this case the most important skill is in the abilityto achievesmooth transitions between the lighter and darker shades of cosmetics. The makeup must be very subtle, so use a light fondation which does not deform the natural structure of natural skin and distribute it evenly so it is virtually invisible
Concealer plays very important role because it help to mask minor imperfecton, dont apply too much powder, use a brush to distributethe cosmetic evenly.
Eye makeup should be limited to evening out the skin tone and eliminating darker areas both under the eyes and on the eyelid. Apply a little conditioner mascara if the light very intensive, add some mascara in the claasic version without lengthening or volumizing particles. Advisely to apply eyedrop which will enhance the coor of the eye white.
Eyebrow, enhance the eyebrow by reshaping or waxing them which will result in aclean and defined look then emphasize it with a neutral beige eyeshadow.

makeup, lighting and......
Makeup & Type of Light
You need to know the type of light in which the proposed make-up will be seen, this is important when deciding upon the correct choice of make-up colors, because the appearance of color may change according to the type of light. Is the make-up to be seen in daylight, in a fluorescent light or incandescent light
For example, an incandescent light or filament produces a much more yellowy light than a fluorescent or neon light. This should be taken in to consideration in choosing her make-up to be used. The following lighting conditions and most common types of bulb are:
1. Daylight
When white light falls on an object, it absorbs some color and reflect other color; it is the reflected color that we see. Thus, an object that we see as red is an object that absorbs the colors in white light except red. A White object that reflect most of the light that fall upon it; a black object absorbs most of the light that fall on it.
Subtle colors should be chosen as daylight intensives color
2. Incandescent light
Evening make-up is usually seen in incandescent light; produced by filament lamp. This produces an excess of red and yellow light, which create a warm, flattering effect. Almost all colors can be use in this light, except that brown and purples will appear darker. Choose a lighter foundation than normal to reflect the light, and use frosted high lighting products where possible for the same reason. Evening make-up will appear very obvious and dramatic in daylight
Brown and purple should be avoided, as these will appear darker. Most other color can be worn
3. Fluorescent light
If make-up is to be worn in the office, it will probably be seen under fluorescent light. This contain an excess of blue and green, which have a cool effect on the make-up, the red in the face does not show up and the face can look drained of color.
Red, yellow and dark colors should be avoided as fluorescent light intensive them; blue tones should be chosen
