Camera friendly tips to counter Makeup flashback during an evening or night function
Tip 1 You have to ensure your foundation doesn’t contain SPF at least for the night time. What are you going to do with SPF in the night anyways? SPF foundations are built for the sun and protect your skin. SPF has reflective properties which will 100% cause flash back.
In case you are not able to buy non spf foundation then use a high end setting powder which will absorb the light and prevent flashbacks to happen.
Tip 2 Ensure your banana powder or the highlighter doesn’t have silica as silica also reflects light. If you do not have a choice then go very gentle with those highlighters as the camera flash will make it look 10X more.
Tip 3 Use everything which is matt or dewy in texture, we recommend not to go with glossy makeup during night. Okay you can put little gloss on your lips but that’s it. Just remember matt finish products during night is always preferred.
General Camera ready makeup tips to keep in mind for both day and night makeup look

1. Use high-end pigmented products for eye makeup
Okay this one is for both day and night makeup. Always use high-end makeup products and there is a reason why you must use them. First of all they have been made with a formula post a lot of research and generally very friendly for the skin, secondly they keep a lot of factors in mind to ensure flawless finish.
Imagine you have done an amazing eye makeup but when photos were clicked all the colors were flushed out and the face looked flat. Not fair right?
2. Keep everything sharp and sculpted
Camera will never see what you see from the eyes, we recommend not to shy away from contouring, bronzing and highlighting depending on your face type. This will prevent your face to come flat on the camera. Each element of your face needs to be accentuated and this will happen only when you go through all the steps of makeup. If you are doing makeup better do it in the right away or rather not do it.

3. Neat and Perfect
We do 100s of shoot every year and trust me the flaws you don’t see in person is so evidently visible in photos. Two choices – Either put a digital filter like most of them do or be like a lady and get your makeup right starting from moisturizing, priming and everything else.
One more thing and I will be so damn direct and curt on this one – No facial hair and keep your armpits clean this is bare minimum.
Do not rely on just makeup, your skin should be always hydrated and taken care off. To be honest great skin great will always welcome great makeup.
In the end remember we do all this look more confident and happy, 70% of women surveyed around the word said they apply makeup to feel great for themselves and not for anyone else.
