Lighting is Everything

• Every makeup artist aims at carrying out a
  ravishing make up look that not only satisfies
  the client but also translates beautifully in
  photos, which can be used for creating a perfect
  portfolio.
• But what happens when you have given your all in
  creating a beautiful makeup look but the photos
  have not done any justice to your work? Here
  comes the role of understanding lighting and its
  importance.
• In times like these where competition is at peak
  in every field and industry, it is not enough for
  an MUA to only know about makeup, as a makeup
  artist the more you know about lighting and
  photography, the better it is for the growth of
  your business.
• Having a solid idea of lighting will help you
  understand how a certain kind makeup will
  translate into photos you will then work
  accordingly and give your best.
• Lets enlighten ourselves with knowledge on some
  basic types of light

AMBIENT LIGHTINGThis type of light is generally
referred to the natural light (sunlight) or the
light already fixed in the room. Ambient light is
the one which is not added by the photographer
but is there already, it can either be natural or
man-made. This light will not only show your
makeup look exactly how you want but give a
beautiful touch of simplicity too.

ACCENT LIGHTING It focuses light on a particular
area or object to create visual interest. In
makeup, accent lighting is generally used to
focus on a particular feature for e.g. eye
makeup. Accent lighting brings a lot of drama and
creativity to the photos.
4
DIFFUSED LIGHT It is a soft light it doesnt
have a lot of intensity and glare. Diffused
lighting is scattered and comes from all
directions and does not create harsh shadows. It
works best for capturing a no makeup look, be it
on a bride or for any other occasion.  ALWAYS
REMEMBER, MAKE IS ALL ABOUT CREATING AND LIGHTING
