If you are a portrait photographer you must be aware of the importance of makeup especially when photographing female models. Anyone with a basic knowledge can apply the makeup but a professional makeup artist can apply makeup which is specifically suitable for photography. A good primer should be applied before the base, and then feature refinement will be done using the right foundation for the skin type. Try to avoid mineral makeup for the portrait shoot because it can lead to an undesirable glow or shine. Play up the eyes, avoid shimmer or glitter, try to use natural shades and use the least amount of eyeliner as possible. A natural colour lip is the most flattering in portraits because lip colour trends tend to change quickly. Well applied makeup can transform a photo shoot.
