General Tips On How To Prepare

*HAIR- If you are getting your hair cut for your shoot, do so about a week before hand just in case something goes wrong. For men, a fresh cut a couple days before the shoot is fine.

*LIPS- You will probably wipe or lick your lips during your shoot, so bring  fresh lip gloss or lipstick to do touch-up. Use lip balm for a few days in advance of your shoot to make your smoochers look their best.

*TEETH- If you want to brighten your smile, start your treatments about two weeks before your shoot.

*MAKE-UP- A subtle application of make-up can really soften yourr skin and accent your facial features. But make sure you know what you're doing and make sure it matches your skin tone, or your face will look orange compared to the rest of your body.

*FACIAL HAIR- Men, be freshly shaved with a new razor, shaving cream and a moisturizing after-shave lotion to avoid bumps and redness. Trim up your beard, sideburns,moustache or goatee, especially looking for wiry stray hairs.

Men and Women both make sure to pluck and clean up those eyebrows.

*MOISTURIZER- Dry skin can really detract from a great photo shoot. When you get out of the shower dry off until lightly damp and slather on moisturizer. Focus on your arms, legs, shoulders, neck, face, hands, and anywhere you'll be exposed to the camera.

**PRO TIP** For dry skin around your face use a light sugar srcub. Mix a cup of sugar with a quater cup of olive oil. Scrub your face to flake away any dry skin. Also use facial moisturizer, not a heavy body moisturizer, or you could break out.

*NAILS- A fresh coat of nail polish will make a world of difference in your photo shoot. PIck a neutral color that won't distract in your shoot or clash with your outfits. Your photo shoot is the perfect excuse for a fresh manicure but if you can't go to the salon, make sure your nails look tidy and clean.
