Barbara believes that makeup isn’t just about enhancing looks; it’s about enhancing confidence. Let’s dive into her expert advice on creating a camera-ready look that’s both quick and effective.
1. Skincare Prep: Create a Radiant Base
A flawless look starts with a hydrated base. Begin with a good moisturizer like Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base to keep skin smooth and glowing. A dab of Kiehl's Eye Cream will refresh your under-eye area, while Bobbi Brown Lip Balm keeps your lips hydrated and fresh. These skincare basics are the secret to looking radiant on camera.
2. Brighten the Eyes: Look Awake and Alert
Zoom cameras can sometimes enhance shadows, especially around the eyes. To counteract this, apply a brightening concealer like Nars Soft Matte Concealer under your eyes. If you're in a rush, focus on spot concealing specific areas to quickly add brightness and coverage. Don’t forget to curl your lashes and apply a volumizing mascara—this simple step opens up your eyes and makes you look more refreshed.
3. Add a Pop of Lip Colour
A little lip colour can go a long way on camera. For a soft, natural look, try Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint, which offers a subtle hint of color. Or, if you're feeling bold, opt for a brighter lipstick to add vibrance to your face. Finding the right lip shade can instantly make you look more polished and put-together.
With Barbara's expert tips, you’ll be ready to shine on camera with ease. Remember, your best look is all about confidence—and the right techniques can help bring that out. So go ahead, try these tips, and let your camera-ready self shine!
