Make-up for black and white photography

 

Gina Anderson is a London-based professional make-up artist with a very impressive client list.

 

Contouring the face

After foundation is applied, use matte taupe or darker shade, depending on skin tone.

Apply to sides of nose, under the cheekbones, on the temples, and under chin.

Blend out with fingers or sponge.

 

 

Highlighting the face

To emphasize parts of the face, use a product which is a shade lighter than your skintone.

You can do this with concealer, powder, cream to powder foundation, or stick foundation.

Dot the product on the high points of cheekbones, on the centre of forehead, along the bridge of the nose, under the cheek line, and the top of the chin.

Blend with fingers or sponge.

 

Colours for black & white

Dark reds, dark greens and white work best for black and white photography.

Avoid pinks, yellows and light blues.

Shades should be stronger and applied more heavily than usual.
