Professional Makeup for Photo Shoots

To kick off the course, Natalia Belda tells you about herself, how she ended up in the makeup business, and her career so far. She also shares the influences that can been seen throughout her work.

Get stuck in by reflecting on makeup and current cosmetic trends. Then take a look at the material you need before delving into facial morphology and makeup as the art of emphasizing the natural beauty of each face. Next, Natalia guides you through the first steps for preparing a shoot.

Study how different lighting affects makeup, either accentuating or de-emphasizing certain features, colors, and shine. Now it's time to prime the skin and apply foundation playing with different shades. Continue with the eyes, blusher, and highlighter, and finish up with the lips and brows.

Once you've achieved your look, Natalia shows you how to make the skin more matte depending on the desired effect, how long you want the look to last, and the setting, as well as how to do touch-ups throughout the shoot. Wrap it up with some final tips on correctly removing makeup.
