Your Makeup.

A shiny face due to the skin's oil secretions does not look nice and says a lot about your neatness. It looks even worse on a photograph because it reflects the light. To minimize the shine, avoid using makeup that shimmer or have a shiny texture on the face. Skin Perfect will custom blend you a matte finish foundation as base for your makeup and dab face powder on your skin to set the makeup and minimize the shine. We recommend keeping your colors not too bright or vivid, because they will look jarring on the photograph. Medium-color eye shadow works for this purpose. To keep everything neat on your face, we will use longer-lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof mineral makeup. Also, we will usually precondition your lips with a lip balm or lip cream before applying your cream based lipstick in a medium shade. Your Hair. 
The basic thing to do to achieve picture-perfect hair is to wash your hair and make sure it is clean before appearing for a photo shoot. If you are going to have it styled, make sure that the hairstyle complements your face, and avoid funky hairstyles that will make your head seem wider or smaller than it actually is. Avoid pulling your hair back too much as well unless you wish to appear older on the photograph. Go for the natural look and try not to use styling products that will make your hair stand stiffly. If your hair is dyed or highlighted and you are going to retouch it before your photo shoot, choose a color that looks nice against your complexion. At Skin Perfect, we recommend Hair Artists, a contemporary salon that will do a proper facial analysis before deciding color or style for your hair. A color analysis is also recommended before scheduling your appointment wit Hair Artists. Your seasonal tone will give the stylist much more information in choosing the perfect shade for your hair color.

Your Clothes.

The outfit that you ought to wear for your photo shoot should complement your figure. Choose a number that enhances your figure, with a neckline that complements your face. Do not wear colors that do not suit you, and completely avoid patterns on your clothes that are too bold, too bright or too large. These patterns are the ones that will float on the photograph, rather than your face and person. Never wear white for a photo shoot unless you are a bride on your wedding day, because white will make you look larger and will draw attention from your face. We strongly recommend you come in for a color analysis before choosing your outfit. The color analysis will guarantee you choose a flattering shade that will complement your skin tone. Also, do not be afraid to accessorize. A bit of jewelry and trinkets, though not too much, will lend style and elegance to your person on your photograph. We will be more than happy to recommend a Skin Perfect personal shopper for your shopping insecurities. Our personal shoppers can transform your closet, cleverly create outfits, and discuss your body shape as well as the most flattering fabrics for your shape.

Your Smile.

Pearly white teeth are much desired when smiling for the camera. Use teeth whitening trays from your dentist or visit us at Skin Perfect to have a 20 minute teeth whitening session. Also, when you smile for the camera, smile as if you are in love. Think of the person that you love before the camera clicks. Or if you do not have someone right now, think of something funny. Your smile and your eyes will glow in a lovely way on the photograph.
