Get ready to shine in your corporate shoot with these easy prep tips from Maryelle Artistry!
Skincare Prep: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Use a gentle exfoliant the night before to ensure a smooth canvas. Hydrated skin helps makeup go on more evenly and look more natural.
Grooming: Make sure your eyebrows are well-groomed and shaped. Men should shave or trim facial hair neatly.
Sleep Well: To minimize puffiness and dark circles, try to get a good night's sleep before the shoot.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days before the shoot to keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated.
Avoid New Products: Stick to your regular skincare routine to avoid any potential allergic reactions or breakouts from new products.
Personal Makeup: Get yourself camera-ready with your own makeup, so your personal style will show. Our team will then spend about 10-15 minutes with each client, polishing your look for the shoot.
Makeup to Avoid:
Mineral Makeup: It can reflect light in a way that creates a shiny or ashy appearance on camera.
Heavy Foundation: Opt for a medium-coverage foundation that looks natural and allows your skin to breathe.
Glitter: Avoid products with glitter or shimmer, as they can cause unwanted reflections.
Heavy Contour: Keep contouring subtle to avoid harsh lines that can look unnatural on camera.
Hair: Arrive with clean, dry hair. Avoid heavy styling products that can make hair look greasy or weighed down.
Additional Tips:
Matte Products: Use matte products to reduce shine.
Blotting Papers: Bring blotting papers to manage any excess oil during the shoot.
Lip Balm: Keep your lips hydrated with a clear lip balm.
Dress Appropriately: Wear clothes that fit well and are in line with the shoot's dress code. Solid colors often work best, avoiding busy patterns or logos that might distract.
