"Mirror mirror on the computer?"
By Wendy Fukushima, Beauty for All Book
An ingenious way to obtain a flawless appearance in your online meetings is to apply your makeup in front of your computer… Whaaat?
Replicate your meeting set up, find your sitting place and sources of light
(preferably natural) and turn on your video conference app. Place the camera on
yourself and start your application. It’ll mirror just like a mirror in your bathroom!
To achieve a nice presence on camera, consider altering your current makeup routine.
The best part of this environment is you can adapt to different times of the day and
capitalize on the immediate most flattering lighting available.
Prep the skin, a hydrated face appears dewier and with less texture.
Have a facial mist available to awaken the face periodically.
If your eyes are bloodshot or tired looking, try some soothing eye drops.
An extra swipe of mascara is always appropriate.
Consider combining primer and concealer instead of using foundation.
Mixing products allows a smooth velvety application to naturally target
specific areas of the face. The best goal to be camera ready is to even out
the appearance of your skin tones.
Video tends to flatten the face, full-fledged heavy foundation or contouring will not be worth the time, it’s more effective to look more alive with calculated pop of color.
Consider adding a little more depth and liveliness with a brighter color on the cheeks and a little swish of color over the brows to add dimension without having to contour.
Also consider mixing a lip conditioner and a liquid lipstick. You will achieve the depth of color without drying out your lips, and give your lips a mini treatment at the same time!
Don’t forget in the video settings menu “Touch Up My Appearance” option and your smile is always your best feature!
