Ahhh as we know school is starting again! I have to go take senior cap and gown photos and I am extremely excited however I'm not sure what kind of makeup. I love makeup and I wear a full face everyday. Here's a photo of my everyday look. I was wondering if I should go darker on the eyes and contour in order to make it really look nice in a photo or lean for a more natural look?

Senior photo looks should be all about preference. If you prefer to go bold most of the time, don't shy away. If you think natural is your thing, go natural. For me, I went with a more natural look mostly because I wanted my senior photos to look classic, since makeup trends come and go. I didn't use highlight and my eyeliner was very light because I was afraid the highlight would give an odd sheen, and I was afraid the liner would make my eyes look smaller.
I think the only two things to keep in mind when taking these is your mascara and flashback. If your eyelashes are clumpy, it will be very noticeable. Falsies, in my opinion, are the best way to avoid that.
Also, be careful when it comes to baking or the foundation you use. They may cause a white cast on your face.
Overall, I think the makeup in the photo you included would work perfectly. It compliments you really well.

Here's my senior portrait and if I could go back and redo my makeup I would, lol. I wasn't too into makeup at that point in time but the makeup lover I am now cringes a little. I definitely suggest contouring and bronzing and use a light hand with the highlighter. Also use a deeper shade than you normally would in your crease so you don't lose that definition there. I think your everyday look is lovely, though (:

I really like your everyday makeup look, it's fresh and pretty! remember that you will have this photo for a long long time and you don't want to look at yourself in 5-10 years and go "wow that was heavy "!
