“Good makeup can still look bad in bad lighting.”

After 14
10,568

“Good makeup can still look bad in bad lighting.” After 14 years of glamming brides, one thing I’ve perfected is my lighting setup. Not just to apply makeup but to make sure it looks the same in photos as it does in person. Bad lighting can make makeup look washed out, overly bright, or completely different than what the artist actually created. My goal is always to capture my work as true to life as possible, because my Instagram is my portfolio. When a bride sees my page, I want her to know exactly what my work looks like in real life. That way there’s never a moment where a client says “I don’t look like your Instagram page.” Good lighting allows me to: • See true undertones while applying makeup • Blend complexion products seamlessly • Prevent makeup from looking washed out • Capture photos that reflect the real result Because the goal isn’t just beautiful makeup it’s honest consistent results. Save this if you’re a makeup artist working on improving your setup ✨ Comment “LIGHTS” for the link!

How to get CRISP pictures and videos of your work💘👇🏼 I use my iPhone 14 Plus to take all my pictures and videos. When I’m taking pictures I like to make sure I stand back from my client and zoom in slightly, you don’t want to have your phone too close to your clients face as you will see every single tiny imperfection that even the naked eye can’t see! Standing back gives you more of a realistic interpretation of what the client actually looks like, for some reason the iPhone cameras tend to show us every little pore and wrinkle if your too close😂💘 For lighting I use a mix of natural lighting and panel lights, I like to use 2 of the neweer panel lights from Amazon and have each of them facing both sides of my clients face, I then have my blinds from my window completely open pointing directly to the front of my clients face this set up is the best way I’ve found🩷 Don’t hesitate to ask anymore questions my dms are always open🫶🏻 #mua #lighting #makeupartist #makeupartistlighting #makeup #makeupaddict #makeuplook #makeuptransformation #makeupartisthacks

Lighting is crucial for perfecting and photographing makeup. While natural light is ideal, it’s not always available in every location. Here, I showcase all the lights I own.

Below I listed two lights I love: an affordable option, and my current fav lighting (a bit pricier but completely worth it in my opinion)… 1. The viral “Alix Earle” light which retails for $31.99 on Amazon. You can clip it directly onto your phone, or onto any object nearby to film. I used this light for all of my content up until 3 months ago when I upgraded to… 2. A Professional LED Studio Light. Mine retails for $99.99 on Amazon. You would also need to buy a stand/tripod for the light since it does not come with one. If you happen to have the spare funds, I would choose this option over the first one ANY DAY of the week. It created the light in this video 🤭 Both are in my Amazon Storefront linked in my bio💡 (btw no filter was used in this video the light is THAT good. You can still see me skin texture on my cheeks but for the most part this light blurs your skin)
