FAQ

Cosmetics photo ideas: questions

How do I keep the makeup shade accurate?

Shoot your reference in daylight, not under warm bulbs, and include the open product so the shade is visible. Then compare the result with the real product; shoppers choose a shade from the photo, so a lipstick that renders pinker or darker than it is leads to returns.

Can I show swatches without a model?

Yes. Ask for a swatch on a surface, such as a smear on acrylic, a drip of foundation or a heap of pressed powder, or a cropped arm. Tie the swatch color to the shade in your photo in the prompt, as these prompts do.

What makes a cosmetics photo look premium?

One strong light, a reflective or textured surface and a palette taken from the packaging. Keep props few and the product large in the frame; glossy surfaces, droplets and soft shadows read as high end.
