Permanently Beautiful

Ever wonder how top fashion models keep their makeup looking fresh and perfect during long photo shoots? You expect that perfection on the glossy pages of Vogue, but not when top models are caught unaware in the tabloids. Yet even when caught in the paparazzi’s glare, every face in every photo is perfectly beautiful. Follow these top model makeup tips and you, too, will always look your best in photos:

• Camera flash whites out color. Makeup looks lighter, leaving faces pale and pasty. Top foundation with a light brush of bronzer along cheeks, chin and neck.
• Avoid the shiny look by blotting face with blotting paper to remove excess oil. Blotting paper won’t remove makeup, just that nasty shine.
• Counteract the camera’s natural plumping tendency by contouring your face. Sweep sculpting powder in a shade slightly darker than your foundation down the center of nose, under chin and below cheekbones to create defining shadows. Blend edges for a natural look.
• Open and brighten eyes with heavier eyeliner and an extra sweep of mascara.
• Dark lips add age in photos. Choose medium tones for lip color. For a completely natural look, go with pinkish nudes instead of tans or beiges. A dab of clear or light gloss in the middle of your bottom lip makes lips appear fuller.

Permanent makeup can add beautiful contour and definition to your face 24/7, in and out of the spotlight.
