Spray Tan – A Rising Trend

Spray tan is a beauty treatment where the person is sprayed with a product containing chemicals with an intention to produce artificial suntan. It is known by a lot of different names such as sunless tanning, UV filled tanning, fake tanning, etc.

Spray tan is high in demand, not only is it loved by celebrities but equally loved by common people too. Many world famous celebrities like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, etc. always seem to carry the spray tan.

 

The treatment is done using an air brush machine through which the product is sprayed evenly to the whole body. Don’t think that spray is a treatment loved by women only; men are equally obsessed with it. Let’s understand why everyone is going crazy for spray tan:

 

EVEN SKIN TONE

Spray tan gives a beautiful even warm tone to the body which is loved by people with fair tone.

 

NOT HARMFUL FOR THE SKIN

Spray tan is the only way of getting a tanned look without exposing the skin to sun, as excess exposure can be harmful. Spray tan came into being when people were made aware of how much damage can be done through excess exposure to UV radiations of the sun.

 

 

SHOWS CURVES BEAUTIFULLY

Spray tan is a must in most ramp shows and photoshoots as it helps showcase the model’s curves and features really well, be it abs or collar bones, everything looks better on the runway with spay tan.

 

SO, KEEP YOUR STANDARDS HIGH & YOUR TAN DARK

Makeup Photography

One thing to always remember as a makeup artist; take a picture of your masterpiece or it never happened. There’s nothing more frustrating than poorly taken pictures of makeup. In the beauty industry, it’s all about showcasing what you can create with your expertise in makeup. As you advance in your career, employers will ask for your portfolio and this alone can make or break your career.

It’s all about finding the perfect lighting, angle and focus.

Your photos represent you a as makeup artist and display your potential which will, therefore, score you more job opportunities.

 

 

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

·        Your portfolio is your golden ticket as a makeup artist, so always make sure that it only consists of outstanding photos. It reflects who you are and what you can do as a makeup artist. If your pictures aren’t able to showcase your work well enough, clients may not appreciate it as much.

·        Your portfolio gives the clients a glimpse of your potential and displays your creativity.

·        It influences the look of the makeup. Capturing the perfect picture of your hard work will not be possible, if you are not observant enough.

·        Exquisite pictures make the clients feel as beautiful as they look. There is no greater feeling than knowing that you have triumphantly been able to make your clients feel confident about themselves.

·        A magnificent set of pictures means a great portfolio which means more value as a makeup artist. Poorly taken pictures drives away any potential clients.

 

 

HOW TO TAKE GREAT PICTURES?

              Know the right angle; appealing poses give a personality to the photos, so

             Yes, it matters.

 

Stick to plain backgrounds; your focus should be on the makeup you want to exhibit; you don’t want anything else to steal your thunder!

 

Lighting is the key; stick to natural lighting or consider buying a ring light. Poorly lit rooms are a big no no! An incandescent lighting will make the picture seem warmer. A florescent lighting makes the photos appear cooler. And natural lighting gives the best results in the right circumstances.

Invest in a good camera; if you’re lucky enough to own a DSLR, there are two things to keep in mind. The macro setting, symbolized by a silhouette of a flower, can be used to take close-ups of eyes and lips. And the auto setting is an easy way to get pictures of the whole look. But if you don’t own a DSLR, use the rear camera to take pictures. No matter what phone you’re using, the rear camera is always better!

 

Retouch your photos but don’t overdo it; you want your pictures to look enhanced, but you don’t want to go overboard with it. It’ll only make the photo look unnatural. Filters are not your friend, in this case.

 

 

With these tips, hope you will be able to share your pictures in the most effective way possible.
