My name's Nikki and have a beauty blog called bellaMUMMA... I LOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE IRONING BASKET, I'M INSPIRED BY IT EVERY DAY AND I'M SO HONOURED TO BE DOING THIS GUEST POST! I love TBOTIB's energy, style and divine photos - which is why I chose to share the little tricks that can make you look 'even more' gorgeous in 'your' photos...
Make-up right. 1. Get a flawless face! If you have redness, you can skip the blush and simply apply a powder bronzer all over. Use a fan brush to dust an extra layer of bronzer along your cheekbones, nose and jawline. If you aren't prone to redness, tap on a cream-blushed, coral blush to the ball of your cheeks to create a pretty, dewy glow. And don't wear foundation that contains a sunscreen, it's too reflective! 2. Make your eyes stand out! Line the inside rim of your lower lash line with a white pencil, then sweep on shimmering shadow shades of silver or gold all over your eyelids. 3. Create fuller lips! Maximise your smile by applying a peachy lipstick, then dabbing an opalescent lip gloss to the centre of your bottom lip. This trick will catch the light, making lips look luscious. 4. And remember... no matter what, always have a pop of colour in one place-either with your blush, lip colour or eyeshadow tone.
Wear a solid colour. They photograph the best. Patterns and lots of jewellery can be distracting. Red in particular pops right out of the frame.
Strike a pose. Never face the camera squarely. Angle your body slightly, bring your ankles together, and put one or both hands on your hips. Your shoulders and elbows will create a triangle that makes your hips look smaller and shows off your waistline.
Stand down. Avoid standing under a harsh light source; the most flattering light is soft and indirect.
Zoom in. The basic lens on a point-and-shoot camera is slightly wide-angle, which can stretch your features if you're too close. If someone is taking a close-up, it's best if they stand back and use the zoom feature.
Thanks for having me... hope you have a beauty-full day! bellaMUMMA X
