Tips for the less than perfect skin?
I was always told that a model needs to do whatever possible to minimize the need for editing and retouching. I try to do my best, but it can get hard when it comes to covering my acne. Some photographers I've worked with just refuse to edit skin on any photos of any model, which can make for a not so good picture. Any make up tips or advice on how to help cover them up?

The best of the best do SOME type of editing - even if it's slight.

Feb 01 13 02:38 pm Link For keeping nice skin Exfoliation and hydration are key once you get rid of existing acne. Here's a make-up tip Don't bother with color correcting sticks or powders because a quality concealer and powder combination will work just as well if not better. Use a paste concealer rather than a liquid because it sticks better and works like a primer as well. Also if you have bumpy acne then most foundations will sit on top of the acne and make the bumps more pronounced. Feb 01 13 02:50 pm Link 1. Go to a good doctor to treat your acne 2. Get a makeup artist on board for your shoots 3. A photographer that doesn't retouch skin just sounds silly to me Feb 01 13 04:32 pm Link Ask him/them to get a MUA on TFP. Try booking with photographers with better skills. Yes. Drink loads of water ( with a touch of lemon) My personal secret... Use Clearasil Acne cream but lather it on your face for 24 hours ( don't leave the house) then scrub your face with a honey and oatmeal mixture. purchase a really good astringent and use that daily...along with your regular skin routine. Take care of your skin and body not for this weeks "photographer" but for yourself. My younger sister and I are 12 years apart by my tips were not useful for her. I have dry skin and she has super sensitive skin. Feb 01 13 08:48 pm Link Maria V Bortolussi wrote: enough said.
