As evidenced thus far, I am no photographer. I call this series: "Why does it never look the same in pictures as in the mirror???"

Today I am wearing:

Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer - Light

Cargo blush - Praque (contour)

Nars blush - Orgasm (on cheeks and eyes)

Cargo HD Bronzer

Benefit Rollerlash

Smashbox Brow Tech - Blonde

L'Oreal Infallible Longwear 2-step lipstick - 105 Lilac Infinite

Natural Light (Or, I watch TV while I do my makeup...):

 

And then the sun came out, so bonus pic:

Artificial Light:

This is such a beautifully groomed look! Your eyebrows open up your eye area perfectly, and I'm loving your use of Orgasm on eyes and cheeks; it looks gorgeous and makes me picture you on a beach! I've ordered a sample of the Rollerball, as I saw your pics in the other thread, and I'm desperate to get my lashes to curl up for longer than 5 minutes; It looks brilliant on you and defines your eyes in the most fabulous manner! I'm also loving the unusual hue of this lipstick; it is pink, but not as I know it; it's feisty and powerful and looks almost purple in the top pics! You look amazing! 🙂

Thank you so much! I swear the Rollerlash has built-in wizardry because I've now worn it 3 times and not dropped a curl once, which I think may be equal to the number of times that has happened with all other mascaras I've ever tried combined! I hope it works for you too! 🙂

i swear everyone looks better in sunlight!  It's all in the lighting:).  Your eyelids are so gorgeous!  

[skate08]

Thank you! The sun has been scarce where I live lately, so whenever I see it I'll have to have the camera ready. 🙂

I so agree with this! When we lived in hot sunny countries I never even noticed my sunspots! 😉

[skate08]

Oh, I miss living in a sunny place so much! I burn when I even look at the sun, so I had to carry around massive amounts of sunscreen everywhere I went, but man is that ever better than Canadian winter!!! 😞

That middle photo in the sun is especially GORGEOUS!! I love how the light is coming in! And your cheeks look perfectly glowy!!! 

[skate08]

Thank you! 🙂

I love the blush as shadow, and indeed, the blush as blush! I think my favorites are the sunlight photo and the last one. 🙂

[skate08]

Thanks TKLJ! 🙂

I agree, Orgasm looks awesome as an eye shadow! It really doesn't even read the same color on your cheeks. Nice! The coolness of the lips is a nice counterpoint to the warmth on your eyes and cheeks.

Thanks jozkid! 🙂

Here's the scoop, author is Tibi Puiu.

A camera has only one eye, so photography flattens images in a way that mirrors do not. Also, depending on the focal length and distance to subject, the lens can create unflattering geometric distortions. For instance, if a photo is taken with a short focal length (zoomed out) and at the same time the subject is also close to the camera, then you’ll get a fisheye lens effect that skews the portrait, making the nose and forehead look bigger. A good photographer knows he needs to position himself farther out and zoom if needed. Indeed, this amplifies the shaking effect, but keeping the camera still using a tripod does the job.

Makes a lot of sense! Thank you 🙂

[Blackwhiskey]

The one with the sunlight really belongs in a magazine, it looks so lovely and elegant. You look like a beautiful ballerina. ❤️ 

[skate08]

Aw, thank you so much! It's been a long time since I danced, but I guess you never really kick the look 😉

[SDdenm]

I know what you mean. Or you get good lighting on your eyes, but then your blush or lips are washed out or vice versa. The struggle! 

But I think you look great in all your pictures especially the middle one with the sunlight hitting you. I really like that lip color on you.

[skate08]

Thank you! 🙂 I keep thinking this lipstick is bright purple, then I see the pictures and wonder if I need my eyes checked!
