Boudoir photoshoots are your chance to show off your confident and sexy self. In order to have a flawless shoot, you will need to do some prepping beforehand to make sure your skin and hair look amazing for your portraits. The last thing you want is for dry skin or greasy hair to mess up the vibe. Check out these beauty tips that will help you nail the perfect photos.
A week before your photoshoot
Maintain A Healthy Skin Regimen
Leading up to the photo shoot, you will want to maintain a healthy skin regimen so you’re glowing and fabulous on the big day. At night, use a cleanser to wash off all the bacteria and dirt that you have accumulated during the day. In addition, use an anti wrinkle cream regularly to make sure your skin looks youthful and fresh. Another great way to boost your skin’s appearance is to moisturize and exfoliate anywhere between 1-3 times every week.
Hydrate Your Skin
A crucial part to a healthy skin regimen is hydration. On top of drinking a lot of water, you should cut back on salty foods and alcohol. Though a glass of red wine is surely relaxing, your skin will benefit from the break.
Lighting Could Emphasize Your Hair So Keep It Looking Fresh
Not only should you keep up with your skin regimen, you will want to ensure your hair is looking great because lighting can emphasize it. During the week before the photoshoot, wax or trim your facial hair, brows, arm and leg hair, and sideburns.
How To Get That Sun-Kissed Look
If you want a sun-kissed or bronzed look, you should keep in mind that there are healthy ways to do it. Avoid anything that your skin isn’t familiar with because you don’t want a negative skin reaction. Right now isn’t the time to take the risk by experimenting with new sprays or lotions. You should also consult with specialists to see what is the best option. This way, you can avoid any unwanted redness or burning.
A day before your photoshoot
Wash Your Hair Thoroughly To Keep It Clean
The day prior to the shoot, wash your hair thoroughly so it isn’t greasy or flaky. It’s important to use the right products such as volumizing shampoo. In addition, remember to use a volumizing mousse when blow drying your hair. With the right products, you will be looking fabulous.
Keep Your Hands And Feet Looking Amazing
In addition to touching up your skin and hair, you should make sure your feet and hands also look beautiful and amazing. You will want to choose a nail polish shade that matches your lingerie. Stick to the classics — red pops and gives off an alluring bold vibe. If you’re not planning to wear high heels, remember to exfoliate the bottom of your feet.
The key to a flawless boudoir photoshoot is approaching it with confidence. Come in with a positive attitude and remind yourself of all the times you felt sexy and cool and unstoppable. As long as you stay positive, it will be reflected in the photos. These beauty tips can help you look your best for that special shoot. But at the end of the day, it’s about having the right attitude.
