Occupation Preparation
There are few times when the photographer, MUA or art director are out of ideas. If you’re new to the game you will run out of ideas quickly. To avoid drawing a blank while shooting, keep clippings of hair or make up ideas you like. Magazines and web ad’s are good for this. If you are doing a shoot for your own personal portfolio or comp card. Preplan your hair, make up and styling.
Know which colors you will have for lips, cheeks and eyes. Start simple and gradually go more dramatic. It is easier to build on existing make up than to take it off and start over. Premoistened facial cleansing wipes or baby wipes are a life/ time saver in this situation. They make it easier to cleanly change eye looks. Your make up should showcase you, not the other way around.
