woman putting on makeup

August is back-to-school time, so why not take a refresher course in taking fabulous pictures. Even if you just want to update that Facebook profile pic or simply look better in those weekend snapshots with the girls, here are a couple of secrets from self.com:

1. Get a flawless face! If you have redness, you can skip the blush and simply apply a powder bronzer all over. Use a fan brush to dust an extra layer of bronzer along your cheekbones, nose and jawline. If you aren’t prone to redness, tap on a cream-blushed, coral blush to the ball of your cheeks to create a pretty, dewy glow.

2. Make your eyes stand out! Line the inside rim of your lower lash line with a white pencil, then sweep on shimmering shadow shades of champagne or gold all over your eyelids.

3. Create fuller lips! Maximize your smile by applying a peachy lipstick, then dabbing an opalescent lip gloss to the center of your bottom lip. This trick will catch the light, making lips look luscious.

4. And remember! No matter what, always have a pop of color in one place-either with your blush, lip color or eyeshadow tone. Now, say cheese!

    Hello ladies :) I ‘m passionate about retouching, and perhaps enjoy it even more than photography itself. I use the most advanced and painstaking retouching techniques to create beautiful and natural looking images.

    Above all, I recognize the importance of making retouching undetectable by the viewer. Achieving that end demands time, patience and experience, all of which I have.

    Personally, I prefer working toward a realistic image, striving to maintain the original skin texture while removing all unwanted blemishes. I also greatly enjoy reshaping bodies, noses, jaw lines and faces because of the challenge they present. Regardless my own preferences, I’m capable of making subtle or dramatic changes to your images as you desire.

    So if you would like your picture touched up please leave me a note :)
