Make Up and Hair Tips for Better Senior Pictures ...

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #1:

Don't try a completely new haircut or style for senior pictures. Getting a "make-over" for Senior Pictures can backfire. You may find that you don't like your new look because "you don't look like yourself". Do what comes natural and the results will be more to your liking.

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #2:
Girls: Trends change, but right now just add a little makeup for color and to even out skin tones. If you just add a bit of lip color and some touch-ups on any acne breakouts you should have natural results without looking "made up". If the makeup looks good in the mirror, it should look fine in your senior pictures.

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #3:
A regular can of 99 cent hairspray can save the day if your Senior Pictures are being taken outside on a hot summer day or in a stuffy studio space. DO NOT spray it directly on your hair! Just spray a little bit on your hands and pat down your "flyaway" hairs to make them lie down - you will save yourself the headache and embarrassment of crazy "fly-away" hair in your senior pictures.

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #4:
If you want to give a little more "zap" to your Senior Pictures, use a hair product that has a higher shine rating. It will make the texture of your hairstyle stand out better.

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #5:
Ladies. AVOID ultra-high-shine lip gloss. That stuff will make big white "blob" reflections appear on your lips from the gloss. Use a "lustre" or similar if available.

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #6:
(Ladies: This is THE best tip for Black and White photography!) If your photographer is taking your Senior Pictures in Black & White, wear very Red lip color to make your lips appear darker and more dramatic. Pink-ish shades of lip color will really make them look gray and dull in the photographs.

Senior Picture Hair and Makeup Tip #7:
Guys and girls: Dab some makeup or cover up on acne breakouts prior to your session.
