Makeup tips and Ideas for senior girls who want to look amazing during their senior session. As some of the most recognized South Carolina senior photographers, we not only create beautiful images for our high school seniors.

We also guide them through the preparation process leading to their senior portrait photography session to make sure that their senior pictures are absolutely flawless. 

IS MAKEUP IMPORTANT FOR SENIOR PICTURES 

We always encourage our senior girls to go with professional makeup artist for two reasons. First of all, a professional make-up artist knows how to apply makeup for the camera.

From choosing the right palette for your skin tone to perfect blending techniques, they know best how to enhance your natural beauty. But there is another very important reason why working with a pro makeup artist is a good idea.

After working with professional senior photographer, you will feel your best self and this will surely show in your beautiful senior pictures.

Professional make-up is one of the important blocks of your Confidence Building Experience with Pasha Belman Photography, and we like to make sure you get a five-star treatment before you walk into your Myrtle Beach senior photo shoot.

But if you would still rather do your own makeup for your senior session, we have a few tips to share with you to help you create a camera ready look.

AVOID SHIMMER, GLITTER OR SHINE

When choosing the right makeup products, we always recommend to our senior girls to stay away from anything that shines, and go for products with matte or satin finish.

Many senior girls need to go shopping for new makeup because the products they use for everyday wear might offer undesirable glow or shine.

In this case, we always recommend trying new makeup at least several days before the photo session to make sure you are comfortable with it and it looks natural on you. 

DON’T FORGET MASCARA

We recommend waterproof black mascara. Please use two coats and make sure the tube is new or almost new to avoid clumpy lushes.

USE MAKE-UP SETTING SPRAY

Its like a hair spray for your face (which some senior girls also use). It helps for your makeup to stay flawless throughout your senior portrait session.

With high humidity weather in Myrtle Beach and Charleston, where we photograph our local or destination High School Senior Portraits, it is necessary to use makeup tricks for consistent look.

ENHANCE YOUR BEST FEATURES

You always want to look and feel like yourself. You should want to look young and fresh!

While there are many new makeup trends constantly being created, it is better to aim for a classic and timeless look for your senior pictures.

LESS IS ALWAYS MORE

If you want to accentuate your eyes, different eye shadow and eyeliner techniques and colors can help make them stand out even more during your senior photo session.

If you want to accentuate your lips for your senior photos, you can do a little pop of color! Choose your favorite feature and make that the focal point of your face, and it will look amazing in your senior portraits.

NATURAL LIGHTING

Applying your makeup in natural lighting will allow you to see tones and colors more true to how they will look on camera.

Make sure your foundation matches your skin evenly and blends in with your neck! Also blending your eye shadows and powders from any harsh lines.

Blending is the key to a soft and flawless look. We hope these tips will help you with creating a flawless camera ready makeup of your own.

But if you would rather trust a professional make-up artist, we would be happy to recommend professional makeup artist for your senior pictures with our studio.
