Photo Shoot Preparation

Here are a few things that will help you have a flawless photo shoot...

The eyebrow is the frame of the eye. A clean brow line is a must for every shoot, and a good idea to keep up, as it opens your eyes and allows more room to create drama and expression. There are several methods. You can use the traditional way of plucking eyebrows with tweezers. Professional salons can use a razor for the more squeamish client, as waxing does have a little pulling pain. My personal preference is waxing, however, because it removes hair at the root, and lasts longer than the other methods.

Drink plenty of water. Hydrating your body has innumerable benefits, and specifically, it helps to clear your skin, and eliminate dry skin and scalp, (healthy hair is a plus too).

Gentle exfoliation of the face and neck. You can find several types of exfoliation products at your local grocery store, beauty supply, or salon. By removing layers of dead skin cells, this cleansing method helps to give the skin a smoother feel and appearance for better make-up application and produces a healthy glow.

Moisturize your lips with heavy lip moisturizer or Vaseline the night before and the day of the shoot. This corrects chapped lips, making them smoother so lipstick will adhere better.

Exercise regularly. Sweating is an extremely effective way to release toxins in your body and skin. It decreases chance of illness, and increases your confidence. Confidence is an important tool in having a good photo shoot, and can be captured on film.
