Photo-safe makeup?
does anyone know of a photography safe makeup that is also moderately priced? I'm just starting out, so I can't really afford to spend a rediculous amount of money, but I'd still like my finished work to look beautiful. Any suggestions?

Great underfoundation concealers. I think what you are concerned about is how makeups tend to fluoresce, go blue under strobes. You turn out looking like a clown. Usually that happens if there is magnesium in the makeup.

Tone it down a bit and really work on your blending. Also, it doesn't even look as though any of the models are wearing foundation. We shouldn't see the foundation, but we also shouldn't see blotchy skin. Good luck!! May 26 06 07:24 am Link Tracey Masterson wrote: Thanks! I really appreciate your input. May 26 06 10:14 am Link I've heard varying opinions about Ben Nye make-up for photography. One side loves it, but I've heard that you've got to specify "the film Ben Nye" over the stage stuff. What's the difference? May 26 06 08:49 pm Link My favorite line is Dan Read Cosmetics. It was actually the first make up designed for HDTV. Not only does it look great in photos and video, but it really lasts, too. I have personally used it when the models have been made up at 4:00 AM, shot at the beach and been in the water all day, and the make up was still intact at 10:00 that night after the model jumped in the pool. All the pictures throughout the day looked great. I just did a shoot where the model was shot out in the rain. I would just dab the model's face right before the shot and she looked flawless. Even in the rain. I love all the products there at DRC. Not only are they great products, they are reasonably priced as well. I think foundation is $26.95 and it lasts quite a while. You can check out the website at: www.danreadcosmetics.com. I hope this helps.

It also has no magnesium dioxide to it will not flouresce blue under strobes. Anonther good stage/photo makeup, even better, is Joe Blasco. It's not has heavy. May 27 06 07:17 pm Link |
