BD photos question

[beach2009]

For the ladies who've done a BD photosession, I was wondering did you use a shimmer lotion/powder? I'm considering it but not sure if it photographs well. I don't want to look like a hot shiny mess.

 

Any product recommendations? All over use or just for highlighting?

 

Thanks.

I did! I used VS Super Model Shimmering Lotion and it looked really great in the photographs! I didn't put anything shimmery on my face though because I didn't want to look greasy or shiny Hope that helped ya

Thanks Desiree, that VS lotion sounds great. I'll have to check the LaSenza stores here in Canada to see if they carry it. I won't be getting to VS till next month.

My photog gave me some regular lotion to use, and I was so excited that I forgot to put it on!! I regret it, but the pics turned out good anyway.

For the pictures I recommend not putting lotion on your face to minimize the shine. Also, putting powder over your t-zone will help if you get a little shiny right there.

 

For lotions anything works, BUT I don't recommend slathering oil all over you! I had that done once and it was a disaster! Anything with a little shimmer (except face) is always good and turns out nicely in the photographs! The best place to put it is in the chest/shoulders area!

 

And one random piece of advice I always tell my girls, fake eyelashes are seriously hot and look great in photographs!!

Yes, I totally agree Leah. I wore fake eyelashes and I am so glad I did. It gave it a WOW factor!
