Tips for getting the most out of your portrait session

General Fashion tips:

> Wear clothes with colours that suit you and avoid busy patterns and bright colours, light colours tend to wash out your skin tone, so more solid and darker coloured (not too dark) clothing would be a much better option

> Avoid wearing yellow or green, as they can effect skin colour

> An open, scoop or V-neck shirt or blouse will add the appearance of length to your neck, where a turtleneck with give the appearance of a shorter neck

> Group photo shoots: it is specially important to wear colours that blend with one another

Make up tips:

> Hide your blemishes and use powder to achieve a beautiful matte finish. This is to avoid shiny or oily looking skin when being photographed

> Lipstick should be one shade deeper than your natural lip colour

> Avoid using lip-gloss as it gives an illusion that you are not wearing lip colour at all

> Eye shadow should be a lighter shade, so your eyes are brought forward

> Apply more make up than normal, but neatly and precisely

Should you require a make up artist, please contact Nikki from Happily Made Up..

Jewellery & Accessories:

> The best advice is to keep it simple, as it is not meant to steal the attention away from you

Grooming & Posture tips:

> Hair should be neat and tidy and keep frizz under control

> Keep a good posture with your back straight

> Smile with your eyes

> lean towards the camera a little ( with the directions of the photographer)

> Always look slightly above the camera when your picture is taken

Last but not least:

> Practice your smiles

> Take deep breaths, relax and have fun.
