Beauty Makeup VS Photoshoot Makeup – Is There Really a Difference?

When choosing a makeup application, it has likely crossed your mind if there truly is a difference (aside from the pricing) between a Beauty Makeup Application versus a Photoshoot Makeup Application. We are here to tell you - Yes, absolutely!

But before we dive into the differences, let’s first start off by explaining each makeup application and it’s intended purpose for a better understanding of both makeup services.

What is a Beauty Makeup Application?

A Beauty Makeup Application is a level up to your everyday makeup. This makeup application is best suited for a special occasion event – think date night, night out on the town, being a wedding guest, etc. A beauty makeup application is more focused on what the makeup looks like to the human eye – where there will be minimal to no camera photography but furthermore, no professional photography involved.

What is a Photoshoot Makeup Application?

A Photoshoot Makeup Application is a level up to your everyday makeup or a full glam. This makeup application is best suited for a wedding day bride or a photography session such as beauty, engagement or family portraits. A photoshoot makeup application isn’t necessarily about the look or intensity of a makeup application. It is more focused on what the makeup looks like behind the camera lens - where there will be numerous camera photography, especially professional photography.

Now that you have a better understanding of both makeup applications, let’s discuss the differences and why it is important to choose the right makeup service for your event.

The Makeup Difference

When it comes to makeup, colors often look different in person compared to photos. The reason for this is because science tells us that our human eyes can actually distinguish or see about 10 million colors. On the other hand, the camera sensor, even in the most advanced digital cameras, can only distinguish about 3 colors - red, green, and blue. In addition, lighting or lack thereof can also play a role in how makeup translates. Due to these major differences, consideration must be made for makeup for the camera. These considerations for camera/photoshoot makeup may involve a fuller coverage application or a higher intensity of application in order for the makeup to be picked up through the camera lens.
