little lady bug found on my porch window, just before the photo shoot. :)
More is actually less. For someone who doesn't wear that much make-up, having a moderate amount on feels like a lot. But you have to remember that when you're getting your photo taken, more is less. Make-up artists know that more make-up is needed before a photo shoot, and as these photos prove, it's true! My sister Rachel and I had our make-up done at Clinique at The Bay downtown today by the lovely Christina. We hardly ever wear make-up, but since our sister's wedding is coming up, we went for a demo in preparation for her big day. I convinced Rachel (it took much convincing) to stop in for a bit at my place to do a mini photo shoot of each other in my porch. I hate being in front of the camera, but for this make-up test, we wanted to see how it would look like on camera. (after a quick lesson on how to use my dslr, Rachel was pretty good at taking pictures!)
So as you can see, even though we had quite a bit of make-up on, it's hardly noticeable on camera. For make-up to really stand out in photos, you really have to intensify it. Like, in this photo. (done by my friend Melissa Finch). But for now, here are our shots from this afternoon:
