When wearing the wrong makeup, the camera can exaggerate flaws or even create artificial flaws on the subject's face. And so, when showcasing your own makeup artist portfolio, it is essential that you ensure your model has the suitable styling, wardrobe and makeup to showcase your best makeup skills. Although this age of digital photography already allows you to manipulate your photos using any accessible image-editing software, keeping these enhancements to a bare minimum puts credibility to your work as a makeup artist.

Use matte foundation and powder, and avoid using SPF makeup products. SPF makeup results in too much light being reflected by the face, especially when there is a strong light source or a camera flash is used when shooting. This also makes the face look more pale and leads to the blush and eyeshadows not showing up properly on the image. Using too much illuminating concealer also results in similar problems.
2Create a crease on the eyes when applying eyeshadow. Wearing a single color of eye makeup during a photo shoot usually doesn't show up well, especially when using neutral tones. Generally, applying a dark eyeshadow to the crease of the eye is best in photos. Make a full crease or just an outer crease in order to accentuate the eyes.
3Apply dark eyeliner and mascara on your model, even if putting a brown eyeliner is typically better for everyday look. Generally, except for an experimental, surreal or fantastic makeup style, brown eyeliner does not show up very well in photos. A black-brown eyeliner can also be an option. Ideally, the darker the eyeliner color, the better it will show up on the picture, especially when enhancing the model's eye features. Black mascara also shows up on the eyelashes better than lighter mascaras. Match your eyeliner and mascara with your eyebrow makeup. Usually, an eyebrow liner that is one shade lighter than the eyeliner and mascara works well.
4Put heavier blush on the cheeks than what you would in a regular day makeup to make sure the blush shows up on the photo. Otherwise, the model's skin would look too pale or washed out. Use a bronzer to provide a natural or slightly sculpted look to your model. Lightly apply a darker bronzer shade or blush to the cheekbones and just above the outer corners of the eye and to the temple in order to enhance facial features and definition.
5Apply a lipstick with a bold color as this generally works better in photography. However, depending on the makeup being utilized for the model's final look, you may still use nude colors. As a basic guide, when intending a natural makeup look on a photo, don't use a natural-looking lipstick as it won't show in the same way it would in real life. Instead, use a lipstick with a slightly darker shade like a light berry color for photography purposes.
