Guys, my cousin's a photographer and asked me to do my makeup in a dramatic way that'll be flattered in black and white with intense lighting, what should I do?!!? please leave pictures or ideas!

Black on you eyes, considering the grey glue color, will make them piercingly dominant in a B&W filtered picture. They would look gorgeous.

A smokey eye?

Okay...Your*, blue*.

Either that or something simple like lots of mascara and nude on the waterline to bring the most of the attention to the eye whilst leaving the rest of the face natural, gorgeous. B&W portraits are very captivating if shot right.

Here's a picture of me in black and white photography. I'm wearing a bright red lip and black winged eyeliner with neutral eyeshadow. For black in white you can really play with drama and darker colours. I like crisp eyeliner and dark lips.

I love this. I agree 100% with Renay.

This especially stood out to me as she has the smokey eye, however the rest of her face is natural. Looking at this (and the other photos posted by Renay), I was immediately drawn to their eyes. You want to make them the focal point, something which the camera will pick out and the viewer will notice.

Smokey eye and nude lips if you really want the eyes to pop.

The second one

That smokey eye reminds me of a raccoon, bold eyes & brows , sorry but I don't like it. I love the second one it's gorgeous.

Me too, I think the second one would flatter me better, should I add a few freckles or leave it normal?

Feb 19, 2015

Gisell G.

Definitely, I personally think you should leave it normal so that the focus is in the eyes.

& I agree with renay about keeping the rest of the face natural
