How to Add Variation to Your Makeup with Color

Playing with Colors is a Great Way to Add Variation to Your Makeup

Photoshoots are a great way to express yourself and celebrate your beauty. Not only do photos capture the way you look, but they also carry the memories of certain times. However, making sure you look camera-ready is very important.

When it comes to makeup for photos it differs from the makeup you would do for events. Cameras pick up different things than our eyes do. So, having the right makeup for photo sessions can make your photos look even better.

When having a photo shoot you want to make the most out of your appointment. However, if you use the same makeup and props in every photo, they can all turn out too similar.

That’s why changing your makeup throughout the photoshoot can make a significant difference.

Team Polished is a company that offers hair and makeup services that help make people feel special for their big events.

We offer various beauty packages, so you can find the one that fits your needs for the day.

Our team offers touch-ups and makeup changes to adjust and perfect your makeup during the photoshoot. This also works great for special events!

For example, changing the lipstick color can change the way your whole makeup looks. Playing with colors in this way works well if you are changing outfits during the event, or you just want to bring a breath of fresh air to your look.

Tweaking your makeup look in this way also works amazingly well for photos, as it allows you to get the most out of them.

By introducing small makeup changes, your photos can have a whole new vibe to them.

During this shoot, our Polished MUA team changed the lipstick color to match the flower she had in hand. This resulted in photos that exude different energy.

We started with a nude lipstick to draw attention to the eyes.

Next, bright and bold red lipstick gave the photos a classic and sexy feel complimenting the red rose.

The focus was to create photos that radiate natural beauty.

To complete the photoshoot, Team Polished applied a mauve lip color. This pinky nude color, when matched with the right props gives the pictures a demure look.

Changing your makeup during an event or a photoshoot is a great way to experiment with different looks. It can also be a great way to make a transition from one another part of your event.

Polished can guide you through the process and help you make the most of it.

5 Tips for Watery Eyes

Tips for watery eyes

If you have watery eyes then you know how annoying it can be, especially if you just did your makeup. Is it just me or does it keep getting worse once you notice it?

You can kiss that beautiful eyeshadow and eyeliner goodbye once that watery corner starts. 

I recently experienced this with a 2-day client and here’s what I learned when I went home after that first day. The neat thing is, when I went back on the second day, I used all these tips and it WORKED! 

I couldn’t tell you how happy the client and I were at the end of our appointment. 

Try out these awesome tips that are sure to help:

1

Eye Drops

Watery eyes are actually a result of dry eye so being proactive and using eye drops before you start your makeup will  totally help.

2

Deep nose breathing

Take a few deep breaths through the nose. Do this before you start the makeup application and during if the eyes start to feel sensitive. 

3

Waterproof Pencils

Instead of using eyeshadows, try using waterproof pencils. You can also use a small blending brush to apply as you would an eyeshadow, just be sure to sure a super gentle hand.

4

Q-Tips

Keep some q-tips handy. Anytime you see the eye water gently press a q-tip into the corner until the tear has been soaked up. 

5

Tap, Tap, Tap

Use light tapping motions when working anywhere around the eyes. Avoid rubbing with brushes and tools as much as possible.
