Naples Makeup Artist Talks on Applying Makeup: Natural Look for Photos


As a Naples makeup artist, sometimes we have to do crazy fashionista looks, and other times subtle, natural looks are in order. This particular model was shooting for her website as a musician/singer, and wanted a very natural, elegant look.

EYES:

In order to create a natural look but still make it show up on camera, for shadow I used a base, and then followed with a light brown from the inner corner of the lid to half way down the lid, leaving halfway in the middle of the eye to the outer corner open.

I then took a dark brown shadow (expresso) and placed it in the crease and in the open parts of the eye (outer corner) which gave the model a subtle, brown smokey eye. The same expresso shadow was used to lightly line the bottom of the eyes.

For liner, a dark brown paint pot liner was used on the top and a pencil was blended on the bottom to make it all come together. One coat of mascara was placed on top a bottom lashes.

LIPS & CHEEKS

For the cheeks I used Blunt MAC blush (a contour) with some blush baby on the cheek bone to give it a soft highlight.

By placing some neutral liner and tan colored gloss on the lips we finished off the nice natural look.

Being a Naples makeup artist isn't easy but it is definitely fun! These kinds of looks are just as challenging as some of the more extravagant ones but with practice can be easily conquered in less than 15 minutes! If you have any questions feel free to email me!
