pics and lack of sleep

hi guys,

I'm going on a trip where there will be a lot of partying - staying up late, etc and lots of picture taking. any advice on how to not look quite as scary on the pics (dark circles, etc)?

Re: pics and lack of sleep

Hi there! My friends and I tend to take a LOT of pictures, so I know what you mean! I find that for some reason, my pictures come out better if I give myself a more dramatic eye look and more natural lips. Stick with a simple lip color (you don't want smudged color after all the partying), keep some powder around (so you aren't shiny), and perhaps try some waterproof mascara/eyeliner that won't be a smudgy mess. I like to use black liquid eyeliner for a nice clean look that really defines my eyes. I usually stick to a lighter, shimmery eyeshadow with the dark eyeliner.

Be sure to drink lots of water to stay well hydrated (especially with the drinking). If you aren't getting much sleep, you may want to use a little bit of concealer around trouble areas (dark areas, etc) and maybe even a facial highlighter to brighten up your face some. I'm guessing you will stay pretty busy with all the fun, so you won't want a beauty routine that takes forever! To make things simple, I love to use Physicians Formula bronzers/highlighters. I just use a soft, fluffy blush brush to apply it where I want to highlight. It really makes my skin glow and looks great in photos!

Have fun!!! You can always take practice photos before-hand to see what looks best.

Re: pics and lack of sleep

good advise from tUrRrRa.
In addition, I wouldn't worry too much. In the age of digital photography you always can "enhance" the pics in photoshop...LOL

Thanks, but I don't like doing that. I don't use make up either, only light concealer when partying due to the lack of sleep and the booze. But pics overall are my total nemesis. Big time. They just don't quite capture by stunning beauty
