... Read moreLighting plays a crucial role in your makeup application and the final look. Whether you're experimenting with a new #makeuproutine, showcasing bold #redhair, or striving for that #glowyskin✨, the right lighting can make a significant difference. Natural daylight is often the best choice, as it provides a uniform and flattering look. Positioning yourself near a window can illuminate your features and help you see your makeup as it would appear outdoors. If natural light isn't available, use soft artificial lighting that mimics daylight. Avoid harsh overhead lights that can create shadows on your face. Instead, opt for a ring light or softbox, which disperses light evenly for a flawless finish. When filming makeup tutorials or taking selfies, the right lighting ensures your skills and products shine through. Additionally, experiment with different lighting angles to find what works best for your face shape and makeup style. Highlight your cheekbones with side lighting or soften your features with frontal light. Remember, good lighting not only enhances your makeup but also boosts your confidence in how you present yourself online.

Tips: use a ring light/ natural light. turn off overhead lights if in room! Make sure your light source isn’t casting a shadow on your face (or simply don’t show your face like me sometimes!) Use front camera (duh) and portrait mode! Try to create contrast from you and the background. Make a
