How They do IT on a Photo Shoot!

Halle Berry For Revlon Campaign

We all see the glossy ads and imagine that the person in the picture is just naturally perfect. However it is the people behind the scenes that make it happen to give the illusion of flawlessness (don't forget photo shop). Here are some tricks of the trade that you could use to up your makeup game for that flawless finish. Every little bit helps doesn't it?


Secret 1 Getting Mascara Ad lashes

It can prove difficult at times to get every lash with a mascara wand and so I use a fan brush. This helps to go as close to the lash line to coat the lashes. Another helpful thing is that it helps to fuse the lashes together, by placing your fingers on top of the lashes pressing down on the fan brush beneath to help the lashes become one.


Secret 2 : Use a lash Comb (metal)

Do you ever wonder when you see the mascara ads, you notice every single lash is perfect. This is it! The metal lash comb is used to comb through the lashes after application to meticulously separate and clear off the excess mascara. It is used on both top and bottom lashes to give that perfect finish.




More secrets after the break!

Secret 3: Eye drops

Eye drops are the secret to the bright white eyes we see gracing the magazines. Most cases the model arrives tired with red eyes and we have to get them looking as if they had their full 8 hours.
This works!




Secret 4: It's Fake

The long luscious locks that we all envy in the ads are 80% hair extensions that have been expertly placed to enhance the illusion of perfection. Hair and makeup artists are illusionists that are able to transform and improve upon the subject.
