Senior Makeup

I love to do makeup for teens! It gives me an opportunity to hear how they plan to make an impact on this world. One of my favorite photographers to work with is Jodi Jarka- J Photography. Jodi is an amazing christian woman as well as a talented photographer. Here's some of my current work with her 2015 seniors:

Senior Makeup Tips:

Lips-
Glossy, Shiny, Color! Lips are best in reds, berries, and pinks. Make a statement but be careful to maintain contrast. Dark haired girls – darker colors, blondes – lighter colors. Even if you never wear lipstick, a little color goes a long way. As a bare minimum, at least bring lip gloss to put a little shine on your lips for great senior pictures.

Face-
The color of your face should match the neck and shoulders. Use a SPF-free moisturizer and foundation to prevent glare and reflections and use a translucent powder to set. Bring extra powder for touch-ups at the studio. Airbrush makeup is strongly recommended.

Cheeks-
Don’t be afraid to have a little color on the apples of the cheekbones. Peaches and pinks look best.  It brightens up the appearance of the face and gives a healthy glow.

Eyes-
Well groomed eyebrows are a must. Enhance eyelashes with black, waterproof mascara. Dark brown eyeliner is a natural alternative to black and compliments all light shimmery eye shadows. Please do not wear any eye make up with glitter in it – those sparkles take away from the own sparkle in your eyes! We don’t recommend liquid eyeliners of any sort. Bottom liner should not extend to the inside corner of the eye. It closes the eye down making it look smaller than it really is. Stop just past the iris of the eye when looking straight forward.
