Question

How to make me look more photogenic with makeup.
I'm not photogenic at all.
I'm chinese, my black eyes are uneven and have minimum makeup kit.
My face is oval-shaped and I don't wear spectacles.

It's one time shot, I won't be able to talk to the photographer. It's a group photo that I will have to show the colleges that I want to be admitted into.

~MAKEUP APPLICATION / EYEBROW GROOMING / CHOOSING COLORS THAT FLATTER YOUR SEASON TYPE~
Things you may need: Foundation, Foundation Brush, Concealer, Powder, Blush, Eye shadow, Lip Brush, Mascara, Lip Gloss...
-Start out simple, you don't have to go all dramatic at first, like in this picture: http://www.grooveeffect.com/images/natural-makeup.jpg - this girl just has foundation (maybe concealer), powder, mascara, and lip balm, and maybe a bit of blush, :) but her makeup looks beautiful.
*Application*
-Foundation: Choose a foundation that blends perfectly or is just BARELY darker than your skin tone - if you'll be having pictures taken, you'll want the one that's a little darker. Use your fingertips (specifically your middle and ring finger) or a foundation brush (found at Sally's and most Beauty Supply stores) - for me it's easier to use fingertips when applying my own makeup. To apply, dot the area you'll start with, such as your forehead, then apply evenly over your entire forehead, same goes with the rest of your face, but be tender around the eye area. Apply 1/4 down your neck.
-Concealer: Try this one, as directed, you can find it in most grocery and drug stores: http://www.physiciansformula.com/detail_list.asp?itemid=02467&scene=CONCEALERS&categorid=110 - apply on under eye circles (sometimes using rolling movements with your pinky finger is easiest) and other places as needed.
-Powder: Apply over foundation, using a large blush brush.
-Blush: For a natural look, choose one that's slightly darker than your skin tone. Use a large blush brush in sweeping motions to apply directly under and in the same direction of your cheek bone (you can find the exact place by making a fish face in the mirror). Then apply on the plump part of your cheeks, (find this area by smiling).
-Eye Shadow: For a natural look, choose colors that are slightly darker and/or slightly lighter than your skin tone. Apply a very light color from eyelid to brow bone. In your crease, apply a slightly darker color. For me, it's easier to apply on my eyelid and crease using a dampened lip brush that's been sweeped back and forth in the shadow - this technique also gives it a slightly richer look and helps it to stay on longer. But above the creas to the browbone it's best to use a eyeshadow brush or applicator so that it goes on lighter.
--Here is a chart that shows where to apply the darker and lighter shades, as well as your blush:
http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/looks/look.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY19465 - this is just a guide, you don't have to go out far to the corners or as dark as shown here, you can start out light at first.
-Mascara: Choose a mascara that has a brush with lots of bristels close together such as this one shown in this pic on the far left: http://www.covergirl.com/cgcollection/eyes/mascara/mini_fantasticlash/index.jhtml
-Lips: For a natural look, just use a pink to dark pink or peachy lip gloss over your lips - most of them have great applicators, otherwise use a lip brush.

Answer 2

Okay, first of all how do you mean uneven??
Wear black eye-liner on the bottom lash and smudge to make the eyes appear bigger.. this will also get rid of the look of unevenness ... Good luck and have a great time!

Answer 3

make sure you cleanse your face well tonite. Don't forget to moisturize!

Use a light dusting of foundation powder-if your skin is fairly clear, a translucent will do. If not, use a color that matches your jaw line.

Use your eyeliner to make sure your brows are even. Also use it to shape the upper lid of the eye that is lower until it balances with the other eye.

Pinkish/brown lips work well with your skin tone. You can get this effect by lining the lips with brown lip/eye liner & filling them with pink lipstick/gloss. Blend well.

Answer 4

Your makeup is definitely important. I suggest that you talk to a MAC representative and have her or him do your makeup, or give you some suggestions. MAC is the best brand for photos.

Answer 5

wear a white eyeshadow
dark mascara that maximizes your eye-lashes
and a bronze blush.

Answer 6

well go for a neutral, i'm-not-really-wearing-any makeup kinda look, and dont pack it on too heavily!

Answer 7

k, now heres a suggestion, get mineral sheers from neutrogena, and put that on, it's good for your skin, prevents spots, and gives you a nice glow......and then do beige nude eyeshadow....and you should be all set...

Answer 8

wear purple or green eyeshadow if you can wing the liner do it best wishes

Answer 9

do your best
