I'm taking my senior pictures OCT. 17th I was wondering if anybody could give me some ideas on how I could do my make up. I have no ideal!

I would say go with matte cream colors for your eyes. Eye liner if you are into that. You have a very nice skin tone for red lips. I own the Naked 1 and 2 pallet. also own a very good Smokey eye pallet from Sephora. works amazingly and $25 you should try it

For my senioe pictures, I went very natural on my face makeup but played up my eyes so they would stand out. You don't want to look over the top but then you don't want to look plain. Depending on your eye color, I suggest wearing eyeshadow that will make your eyes pop! I would also keep the lip simple and wear a nude colored gloss of some sort. Hope this helps!

-avoid using a primer this day because it'll help your makeup look more natural and blended in pictures
-Choose a foundation the same color as your neck because its very noticeable in pictures!
-always make sure your concealer is the exact same color as your foundation or it may bring out your blemishes
-avoid mineral powders or translucent powders because they can give you a white cast
-for eyes, you wanna bring them out and keep them defined, try using a light shimmery color all over the lid to bring light to the eyes, like a champagne color. And then add a matte brown into the crease to add depth to your eyes. Finish by adding white or cream highlight in the inner corner and under the brow bone then blending to attract light to your eyes
-if you're going to wear a pencil liner, I don't suggest black for pictures because it makes your eyes appear smaller and more closed off! Try a nude to brighten your eyes
-use a liquid liner or gel liner in black or a dark plum to define the top lash line, but be sure to keep the line thin or it make close off the eye. You can choose to wing it, I personally love it for a more feminine look
-add a peach blush for a a natural flush! I hate girls who wear face makeup with no blush, it looks so fake because their skin looks unnatural and I personally don't think it's flattering
-don't forget to contour with a matte cool toned brown! Flash photography Can eliminate natural shadows and make you face appear flat
-fill in your brows last because you don't want powder to get in them and give them an ashy look :)
-keep the lips neutral with a nude or a Soft pink, bright lips can look unflattering and may change the lighting
-try a cool toned pink or a taupe or cool brown. Lip sticks with blue undertones make you lips look whiter :)
