A great way to start to showcase your work is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/portfolio-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">build up a beautiful portfolio<\/a> of images to display on a Website, Facebook or any type of advertising.\n\nBeing a photographer, I took the opportunity to take professional images of work that I had completed to build my portfolio in my early makeup career, and I still take images of my work to regularly update my portfolio when trends change or I do create work. Not everyone has a professional camera or studio set up, but please do not let this stop you from taking beautiful images!\n\nHow do a take a good image you might ask to start building your portfolio?

It\u2019s good to powder as well to give a lovely matte finish and avoid any shine. I always avoid shimmer highlighter on the cheek bones. In photographs, highlighter can make the subject look sweaty or greasy. A light, rather than shimmer, highlighter is always good.\n\nAvoid frosted lipstick for photography &#8211; again it creates a shimmery highlight on the lips! I always stick with satin or matte lipstick looks for portfolio building. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/01\/finding-perfect-eye-shadow-finish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Use matte eye shadows<\/a> to define the crease and outer corners or outer V. This creates depth in the eye area and create a gorgeous satin lid to define the color. Use a nice set of natural lashes to enhance the eyes! I love Ardell Whispies for Boudoir. Finally, have the hair styled nicely to complement the makeup application.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lighting\"><\/span>Lighting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38143\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113912.382.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113912.382.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113912.382-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113912.382-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113912.382-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nDon\u2019t use flash where possible! Natural light is always best for Makeup Photography (unless you\u2019re a Beauty Photographer that knows the ins and outs of lighting set ups!). Find a lovely bright window, which may have sheer curtains to soften the light. Sit or stand the subject about a meter away with the light against their face to highlight their features and color of the makeup. If it seems too bright or washing out the color, move the model further away from the light.\n\nIf you have a darker room or are doing shoots more regularly, look for a continuous light soft box or light that does not give off a yellow glow. EBay has some good, affordable options which light the face well for photography.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com.au\/itm\/Photography-Video-Softbox-4-Head-Light-Soft-Box-Continuous-Lighting-Stand-Kit-AU-\/271517763438?hash=item3f37b8476e:g:fGUAAOSwe-FVAWU7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Here\u2019s an example<\/a> to give you the idea.\n\nIf you want to get rid of dark circles under your model\u2019s eye due to harsh lighting or shadows, invest in a small reflector. Hold this under the model\u2019s chin around the chest area (out of camera view) &#8211; this will take the dark circles away! Use either a white or silver reflector to enhance your images so that they are not so flat-looking, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com.au\/itm\/110CM-5-in-1-STUDIO-PHOTOGRAPHY-PHOTO-COLLAPSIBLE-LIGHT-REFLECTOR-HANDLE-GRIP-\/131498210162?hash=item1e9de77372:g:aukAAOSwDNdVklms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">like this one<\/a>.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Model_Pose\"><\/span>Model Pose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113312.345.jpg\" alt=\"posing model to show off makeup for photography shoot\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113312.345.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113312.345-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113312.345-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T113312.345-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nPosing a model is important for good looking makeup photos. Make sure the model is level with your camera, and don\u2019t take an image pointing the camera up to the model. This is not flattering at all &#8211; it will make her neck look bad and expose those double chins!\n\nSit the model on a stool at your level, turn the body slightly to the side a little, ask the model to turn her chin around to her shoulder (don\u2019t touch the chin on the shoulder, just turn over the shoulder). Ask the model to push her chin out towards you and then tilt down just a little. This elongates the neck, hides double chins, makes the eye drop exposing more of the moving eyelid and lashes (making them pop). <strong>Just remember:<\/strong> chin out and down. Easy!\n\nI always take a set of photos, especially if it\u2019s for a client\u2019s wedding trial and add it to their file. Take an image of the model with an open eye looking at you, looking down (don\u2019t close fully as this scrunches the moving lid) and looking out towards the light, as if they are looking at something outside. This set can be created into a collage for the client\u2019s portfolio sheet, for your social media or advertising.\nExamples of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kerrysleemanphotography.com.au\/make-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of makeup posing<\/a>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camera\"><\/span>Camera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38139\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T112649.201.jpg\" alt=\"makeup photography outdoors camera\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T112649.201.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T112649.201-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T112649.201-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-09-19T112649.201-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nYou don\u2019t need a professional camera! But if you have one, great! You can use an iPhone if you really want to &#8211; images from iPhones are great quality these days. Play with your settings, check the ISO is on 100 if you are in full bright light or change the ISO to 400+ if the room is darker. If your new to photography, set your camera to automatic focus, then focus on the eyes and click away! There is nothing worse than blurry eyes, so make sure they are sharp!\n\nI hope this helps you with getting started with taking images of your makeup for your portfolio!\n<h2 class=\"cta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_out_what_every_makeup_artist_should_know_when_youre_building_a_professional_makeup_portfolio\"><\/span>Find out what every makeup artist should know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/01\/building-portfolio-every-makeup-artist-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">when you&#8217;re building a professional makeup portfolio<\/a>!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Learn how to take your best makeup photos with advice from a professional photographer!","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":38147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[107,8],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[418],"class_list":{"0":"post-19623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-guest-articles","8":"category-makeup-tips"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
