Day 7 - Makeup for Black & White Photography


I enjoyed the lesson today but it was the longest time that I applied makeup for a session. It's also the first time we had a photographer to show us the black & white effect on the LCD monitor.



Makeup for Black & White Photography basically applies intense dark makeup. In order for your makeup to be seen in black & white, just use dark colors like black & brown for shadows and white for highlights.



Because everything will turn black & white in the picture, why bother with colorful shadows. It saves thinking time of selecting colors and also the amount of makeup you would use.


The only reason that it took me a long time to achieve this look is I had to retouch and retouch to get that effect and also to make everything look balanced.
