How can I look younger in photographs?
Hello all! I'm going to start going to events with red carpets (nothing extremely mainstream unfortunately >_ Dec 12 12 03:18 pm Link I'm confused. Do you want to look younger or older? I always thought a nice updo and a sexy but not showy dress is nice. Posture will say a lot. Dec 12 12 03:20 pm Link Okay, I'll rephrase it. I was to look younger in photographs. I get excited when I post in forums so usually my first post is usually a mess lol. Dec 12 12 03:21 pm Link Mary Neilson wrote: You want to look younger than 22?

Have to wear glasses too and be peering over the top of them. Dec 12 12 03:29 pm Link A smile helps. The right wardrobe can give a younger sense, too. Dec 12 12 03:30 pm Link If you were wearing the same makeup you had in your avatar, an updo, and a little black dress...you'd have sexy and sophisticated perfectly suited for the Red Carpet. Just call me Mr. Blackwell. Dec 12 12 03:30 pm Link Technically you always look younger in photographs. (you're totally not getting a serious answer here) Dec 12 12 03:30 pm Link Generally I would avoid heavy makeup, it add years both good and bad depending on ones age.

Dec 12 12 04:41 pm Link Clean coverage makeup, maybe a little brighter under the eyes to help with any dark bags, DEFINITELY no contouring. A fuller face tends to appear younger. Stop going so black around your eyes. A brighter color lipstick or just a simple gloss can help. A simple high ponytail projects youth. Most important would be the wardrobe. Dress young and you'll look younger. And then some can be controlled with the photographer's choice in lighting and retouching. But if you're talking for red carpet type stuff, it's all on you. Dec 12 12 04:50 pm Link Okay, if I'm shooting a model and we're going for a younger look, here are a couple of things I'd suggest: --soft light is always flattering. It hides skin flaws, small scars, and wrinkles. It makes women look younger. --some body parts (especially women's triceps if they're floppy or big) tend to add age. --don't scrunch up your face or wrinkle your forehead. --avoid really heavy makeup, especially foundation and pancake. --clothing and hair styles can make a big difference. No, I don't mean the extreme of dressing like you're in middle school. But a lot of evening wear or a very classic appearance...while glamorous...may also make you look older.

Dec 12 12 05:42 pm Link Dress like a young girl trying to dress like an older woman. You might have to act like it too. Dec 12 12 05:48 pm Link  Dec 12 12 05:54 pm Link |
