Get the Most Out of Taking Your Portraits

Here Is How You Can Get the Most Out of Taking Your Portraits

Whether you decide to take portraits of yourself as a part of an event, or you just want to celebrate yourself and your beauty, makeup plays a big part in it. To get stunning photos, you need flattering makeup, a good hairstyle, and a willingness to experiment. 

Natural makeup works amazingly well for portraits as it enhances the natural beauty. It also keeps the makeup looking skin-like, which works amazingly well for portraits.

Polished is a team of skilled makeup artists and hairstylists who excel in making the customers feel confident and alluring.

We specialize in airbrush makeup that looks flawless throughout the entire day. It also works excellently for photoshoots, as it is perfectly blended, made to look like your skin.

Makeup that looks like real skin is the best for portraits as the camera picks up on any imperfection, cakey or unblended makeup.

To introduce more variation to the portraits, our team changed the makeup throughout the shoot. Starting with the natural no-makeup makeup look photos show her raw beauty. Her hair flowing naturally further accentuates it. Red lipstick is used to represent power and strength. 

Starting with a matte red shade gives the makeup an iconic pin-up look. After taking photos with the matte lipstick, the gloss on top adds a simple twist. It makes the makeup look luxurious and enticing. 

The combinations of makeup with hairstyle changes allow each photo to look different and unique. For the final look, our makeup artist applied gloss on top of the eyelids. This look emphasizes the eyes and the lashes, highlighting her femininity.

Taking portraits should be an exciting experience that strengthens the relationship you have with yourself. A great way to make them more fun is to introduce the hair and makeup changes. 

Having spotless and well-blended natural makeup as a complexion is the most important part. 

Polished offers touch-ups that can be used to change the makeup and bring a twist to your portraits.

Leaving high school is truly an end of an era. You say goodbye to your friends, familiar classrooms, and persistent homework to move to bigger and brighter things. Nevertheless, you should properly say goodbye to this portion of your life.

Having photos you enjoy to remember your high school days is important. You’ll appreciate them more and more as time goes by. Choosing the right hair and makeup artist for your senior and graduation photos can make the whole experience smoother.
