Makeup and Hair and Why You Should Care.

Sometimes when a senior girl contacts me she tells me – I don’t usually wear makeup. And as a person who RARELY does either – I totally get that.

Makeup as a concept is pretty foreign to me. I used to think – “eh – who cares?” But…after doing this a while, processing thousands upon thousands of images I can confidently say this: it matters.

Makeup gives your skin just that little bit of extra – smooths, beautifies, makes you glow. It’s why we are so drawn to fashion magazines – those girls can look an amazing number of different ways – cute, pretty, hip, grungy, elegant.

Makeup and Hair, baby. So there are really two schools of thought on this – the first is: “I don’t want to look like anyone but me” – and I say in return – I agree!

When you are wearing makeup - - it should enhance you and your natural beauty. Not be a layer or make you feel like you’re wearing a mask.

Makeup done well makes you feel amazing – more free, more beautiful, more alive. The second school of thought is: “I want to wear makeup and ROCK MYSELF OUT LIKE A MODEL” and I say in return – I agree! ::laughing:: It’s all about personality and what YOU want your images to be like. So…I’m telling you all of this to get you thinking. I have a group of amazing professional makeup artists that handle hair and (duh) makeup – and you don’t have to think about it. We do it all for you. It costs extra, yes. But the result makes your photoshoot into something CRAZY COOL. Images that you’ll keep forever.

So…here’s a couple of girls that rocked out the make up and hair professionals – watch their slideshows and think: That could be ME! Email me for more information.

Rock It Like A Model — Makeup for Senior Pictures can be Amazing!

Some of you know about this already. This is my coolest longest most elaborate package — it’s totally customized to you — and it’s fun!

The coolest part of this session is the inclusion of your own personal makeup artist/hairstylist. Yesterday, Melissa worked with Olivia and I and the images are AMAZING.

Why would you consider this? Here’s a few reasons:

1. The MUA is up on all the latest looks and trends in the fashion industry. If you have an idea for how you want to look she can put it together for you.

2. She’s right there with us. If a hair is out of place or something looks weird — she’s right there making you perfect.

3. You get a huge variety of looks — far beyond just changing your hair.

4. The makeup (and yes, even on guys during a photoshoot of this type — do you think Brad Pitt DOESN’T wear makeup during photoshoots?!) makes your skin look amazing on camera. You glow and look perfect.

5. It’s super cool to have your own stylist for your shoot. The entire focus is on YOU. And that’s fun.

Here’s some behind the scenes images from yesterday’s Rock It Like A Model Session with Olivia (and yes, one more image - sorry just couldn’t resist)

If you’re interested in scheduling your own session - email me as soon as you can at tammy@lightcrayon.com and we’ll get on it!

And a still shot after Melissa worked her stylist magic! Stunning!
