Make Up Tips
Most women know how to apply makeup for everyday use but there are a few differences in applying makeup for photos; especially glamour. If you follow the tips below, you will be on your way to better pictures.
The key is to simply fix your face as if you were going out for the evening, wearing more than for daytime use, extra contrast and especially more powder. Did I mention More Powder?
To achieve that natural look in your portrait, apply a little more than you would in your daily activities and even more than you would if you were going out for the evening. You will probably think you that you are wearing too much but remember that the lights take away from whatever amount of makeup you have on so don't worry. How do you achieve this look? Follow the simple steps listed here and, with a little practice, you should be able to get the results you're after.
The first step is to moisturize your face thoroughly and then begin with concealer. The concealer you use for photos should be 2 or 3 shades lighter than your skin tone. Concealer is used to hide blemishes, lighten your eyes and used if there is any discoloration around the lip area.
Next, use a solid foundation evenly applied over the face. This part is very simple but is misunderstood by even some makeup artists. Match the foundation to your chin and neckline. You don't want a sudden change of color from your face to the neck or upper chest. I've heard of some makeup artists applying makeup to the neck and shoulders! There is no need to do this if you follow the rule of matching from the face to the neck.
After your foundation is finished, just apply the rest of your makeup as you normally do but in heavier amounts for the camera.
Powder! Powder! Powder! Be sure not to forget the powder! If you've ever seen makeup applied for TV or the movies, the makeup artist is almost always patting the face with the powder applicator. Ever wonder why? Because powder, and lots of it, is absolutely essential to gaining that beautiful mat finish which is always present in a great romantic portrait. Even if you've never used powder in your life, please use it for just this once during your boudoir portrait session. Powder makes the difference between a beautiful intimate portrait and just a portrait.
Now that I've driven home the importance of powder, apply makeup below your cheekbone and under chin to create an oval look to the face. Be sure to blend in and not create distinct lines. Apply this makeup a little darker but not too heavy.
Choosing your lip color and application: Make sure that your lip gloss is a solid color and about one shade deeper than you normally wear it. Use a lip liner that is the same color as your lipstick, please, please DO NOT WEAR BLACK Lip Liner! Also, try to avoid frosted lip colors entirely because they hardly show up on film and will give the illusion that you are not wearing lip color at all.
Apply your blush and eye makup a little heavier than normal but neatly and precisely.
For best results, eye liner should be applied starting from the outside of the lower part of the eye and extending about 3/4 length toward the inner part. Really work on those eyes and lips. These are the two key features in glamour photography.
Use eye shadow which is a lighter shade rather than darker so that the eyes appear more alive. Apply eye shadow to the upper eye lid and above the eye just below the eyebrow. When a darker shade is used in this area it will create a darkening of the eyes and give the appearance of a sleepless night which is not very appealing. Using a light shadow will produce the best results.
Last, but not least, take your makeup case with you to your photo session. You may need to touch up during the boudoir session and will most likely need to add powder as your session advances.
If you follow these simple steps for applying makeup you are more likely to be happy with your boudoir photographs. Most makeup complaints come when women have someone else apply their makeup for them. You are more experienced in applying your own makeup and, if you follow these instructions, you should be more than happy with your results.
To make your photo session go smoother and faster, please apply your makeup before leaving home for your boudoir photography session.

The art of taking sexy photos
Men love gazing at saucy photos and sexy photography is great for your sex life. Not only is it a great form of foreplay, but it also fulfils porn star and glamour model fantasies.
So here are some top photography tips to help you on your way...
1. You need a digital camera. There's nothing worse than having to collect your sexy photos from Boots or Jessops when you know they have had a sneaky peep at your photos. Of course, most people are using digital cameras these days, so this is really not too much of a problem as film cameras fade out altogether. When you buy your digital camera, also buy additional memory cards. If you have a 3 megapixel camera, get at least a 256MB card, 512MBs for 4 megapixel models, and 1GB for for 6 megapixels and up. That way, you'll never miss another shot because your memory card is full.
2. You can feel a bit silly posing, trying to look sexy and having no idea of where to put your hands. Get some adult porn magazines. They have professionals demonstrating the sexy poses for you. Copy the stance and positioning of the photos you like in the magazines.
3. Get some props! If you are holding something, leaning somewhere or have something to do with your hands, you will look more natura, and won’t feel uncomfortable. The props might be an everyday object, food, a sex toy or a door frame. Also, massage baby oil into your skin.
4. Play some music or have a bottle of wine to help you relax. If you are taking the photos with your lover, you will soon stop feeling silly as they get hornier watching you posing and teasing.
5. Forget less is more, and remember more is best! Leave something to the imagination, save all your intimate bits 'n' body parts for the passionate sex scene, don't flash them off in the snaps - this leaves nothing for the grand finale. Sexy photos are just an appetiser. A few shots of a slow sensual strip show are far more arousing than an upfront and in-your-face view of your flange! Get your sexy Funtimz undies on or wrap yourself in a towel or some bed sheets and show little hints of flesh.
6. Try to create a sexy smile - never smile with your lips fully closed. Try imagining you have a pea or a penny between your lips. Also give your lips a lick before the shot to give them shine.
7. Check your location. Your photographs won’t turn out very sexy if unwanted mess is in the frame. Make sure that the area you are using is tidy. And wherever you are taking your pics, make sure you are not going to be disturbed - it can be very embarrassing!
8. Beware of mirrors! If you’re using a flash, mirrors can leave a white star-like flash on your snap. Also, make sure the photographer cannot see themselves in a mirror that is in the shot. Be aware also that they can show the back of you to camera - we don't want you getting caught with loo roll hanging out of your knickers!
9. Back lighting (having a light shine behind your subject) is flattering. It softens the outline, and makes you look slimmer.
10. Taking photos outside - a very risky business! Make sure you are not going to be disturbed or arrested! She could always be wearing the Funtimz policewoman’s outfit just in case, she’ll certainly make a very arresting sight! Warm up the tones of your photo and give yourself a warm sexy glow by changing the white balance on your camera from auto to cloudy. It increases the reds and yellows resulting in a richer, warmer shot.
11. Make your legs sexier girls! Firstly, check out the range of sexy stockings and tights by clicking this link, and always point your toes even if your feet are going to be touching the ground (when sitting in a chair for example). It makes your legs look longer and more shapely. If you’re going to wear shoes, wear high heels or sexy boots. Check out Funtimz Footwear. This is because high-heeled shoes instantly improve your posture and improve the shape of your legs. Don't just stand with your legs together like a soldier on sentry duty, it’s not doing you or the snap any favours. Instead, stand with your legs a stride apart or cross one in front of the other to exaggerate the leg length.
12. Experiment with camera angles, they can add to the mood of your finished photo. Looking down on your subject makes them look very submissive; whilst having the camera look up at the subject from a lower position makes them look dominant and powerful. Also, have a play with up skirt and down top shots.
13. DIY Sexy Photos. For an added surprise at work, email him a 'right at this very moment' photo taken with the self-timer function. This delays the firing of the shutter for up to 10 seconds. Also handy for the missing photographer syndrome!
14. If something does manage to spoil your photo remember you can always crop and change your digital images later on your computer.
15. Work it, baby! It’s a digital camera so it costs nothing to take hundreds of photos. You can always disregard photos you don't like later. The more different photos you take with different lighting and camera angles, the better chance you have of finding the perfect, sexiest photo.
16. Don't stand face on to the camera. It’s not very interesting and it’s not very flattering either. If you must stand face on to the camera, turn slightly away to improve the shot.
17. Most importantly, have fun! Because it comes across in the photograph if you are enjoying yourself or not. You’re not going to turn on the viewer of the photo if you look like you have the snap taken under duress
