Kendall and Kylie Jenner

Many posts ago I talked about how to achieve the picture perfect pose, but what about the make-up? Usually most people like to take a picture with natural make-up that enhances their features and hides blemishes, although that may sound easy to do it sometimes is not. No one wants to have cakey foundation in a picture or so much mascara that it make your eyes look ridiculously small. Kendall and Kylie Jenner's make-up looks flawless in pictures while still looking real, take these tips to find out how.

1. Begin the day before by cleansing your skin and prepping it to be as blemish free as possible.
2. On the day of start with your face clean and conceal any necessary areas. Use  a buildable foundation so that you avoid putting on too much, but can still add if you have on too little.
3. Wether your going for a bronze look or just a simple flush, take a blush brush and brush from the apples of your cheeks up to your temples. Blend it into your skin because you DO NOT want too much.
4. To get major eye definition in your photo draw a thin line with a black eyeliner next to your lashline as well as on your waterline. Put 1-2 coats of mascara on to lengthen your lashes.
5. Your brows are what frame your face so take a shadow close to your hair color and brush it across your brows to add power.
6. Lastly your want to amp up your lips with a coat of gloss or get colorful with a lipstain.

How-To: The Picture Perfect Pose

Everyone loves to have that one great photo of themselves in a perfect pose that looks completely natural and effortless, but why not have all your pictures come out that way? Try out these tips the next time you want a picture perfect pose.

1. Stand up straight and tall! Standing up straight and tall prevents a slouchy, lazy look in your photograph and makes you appear taller.
2. Tilt your head! Be sure to slighty tilt your head forward so the camera does not see up into your nose. It also will create more angles in your face which is great for a picture.
3. Fix the details! You may be striking an amazing pose, but a wardrobe malfunction or an out of place hair can mess it all up. Be sure to check the little things right before you snap a picture.
4. Relax! Shake out any tense muscles or nerves before striking your pose so you don't look too forced. Natural and effortless is always best.
5. Smize! Tyra Banks is always telling girls to smize, smile with your eyes, and it definitely works. A sparkle in your eye makes your facial expression appear real and genuine. Think of something happy to create the perfect 'smize'.
6. Confidence! Confidence is the best aspect of a picture perfect pose. Show your confidence while striking your pose and you will instantly stand up taller and appear happier and friendlier.
