Makeup tips for ID photos

Teach everyone a makeup-free ID photo makeup look.

Step 1 Translucent base makeup

Babies whose skin is so good that it is translucent without foundation will automatically omit this step, but if your skin is dark yellow or uneven skin tone , we must really do a good job in laying the groundwork.

Before applying foundation, moisturizing before makeup is really important. Doing this step well will ensure that makeup does not stick to powder. Before applying makeup, apply a facial mask to moisturize your skin first to make your makeup adhere more smoothly. After that, use makeup primer as a base, which not only makes the subsequent makeup more compliant, but also controls oil.

Then choose a base makeup with medium coverage but a little light to create a nude makeup look. After applying foundation, the apples of the skin, T-zone and chin are brightened to enhance the three-dimensional look of the makeup.

Step 2: Natural eyebrows

The eyebrows in the ID photo should be natural. It is not recommended to apply matte eyebrows when taking ID photos, because if the traces of eyebrows are too heavy, you will be asked to remove them. In contrast, root-shaped eyebrows with clear roots will be more natural.

After trimming the basic eyebrow shape, just fill in the missing areas slightly in the eyebrow gap. Choose an eyebrow pencil with a color that is close to the eyebrow itself.

Step 3: Draw a deliberate inner eyeliner

In order to prevent the makeup from blurring before drawing the eyeliner, you can apply some loose powder on the eyes, and then use black eyeliner to raise the eyelids slightly. Pull along the root of the eyelashes from the beginning of the eye to the end of the eye, and then use an eye shadow brush to strengthen it. It does not need to be too long, just to the corner of the eye.

Step 4: Long and slightly curled eyelashes

When taking ID photos, curl your eyelashes a little and apply long mascara. Don’t apply mascara too thickly, as it will easily look like flies’ legs, and don’t put on false eyelashes, which will look too heavy, so be sure to avoid this when taking ID photos.

Use mascara with a lengthening effect to brush your eyelashes in a Z-shape to make the eyelashes longer and more natural.

Step 5 Learn how to highlight and contour to make your face more photogenic

Use a contouring stick to apply on the hairline, both sides of the cheekbones and the chin to create a shadowy feel. The outline is more pronounced. When applying nose shadow, draw a narrow shadow line on both sides of the bridge of the nose. Highlight spots are applied on the bridge of the nose and the apples of the skin to make the makeup more refined.

Step 6 Nude lipstick

Lip makeup is very simple. Choose a nude lipstick that is so light that it doesn’t look like it, but it can show off your complexion. Don’t choose a lipstick that has a jelly feel or a tinge. Pearlescent lipstick.

Step 7 Photography posture

When taking a photo, keep your eyes wide open, look 3 cm above the lens, hold for a few seconds and then blink, your eyes will appear bright and energetic. Raise your head slightly, tighten your shoulder blades, and take a deep breath when pressing the shutter button. This can make your expression vivid, put a slight smile on your mouth, and make your neck muscles and clavicle lines more beautiful.

I believe that as long as everyone gets this makeup, they will look beautiful in their ID photos in the future.
