In the above photograph, you may notice the nice colour contrast between the hair and eyes of the model, and the flattering beauty light. You may hardly notice the makeup (save the lipstick). Yet, the makeup is just as important to the quality of the beauty portrait as the model and the lighting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_323\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-323\" style=\"width: 534px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Beauty-Portrait-Rebecca-Superior-Model-Management-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-323\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Beauty-Portrait-Rebecca-Superior-Model-Management-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca from Superior Model Management beauty portrait\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rebecca from Superior Model Management. The makeup artist and I loved the colour contrast between the model&#8217;s hair and her eyes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You might argue that the photograph looks the way it does because the model is a young lady from a modelling agency. Well, that\u2019s what I used to think too. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, a young lady with good skin is a must for a beauty shot like this, but there is a lot more than meets the eye.<\/p>\n<p>I learned this when I first worked with a good makeup artist, a couple of years ago. Looking at the files on my big computer screen after the shoot, I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes. The skin looked beautiful and there was very little retouching to do (a few skin blemishes here and there, but that was it).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-324\" style=\"width: 534px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Beauty-Portrait-Rebecca-Superior-Model-Management-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-324\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Beauty-Portrait-Rebecca-Superior-Model-Management-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca from Superior Model Management beauty portrait with heavier makeup\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A change in the hair style, makeup and head tilt can significantly change the appearance of a subject.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The makeup in the photos shown here was done by Maria Carmela Chierchia, who has been in the beauty industry for a number of years.
