PREPARING YOUR SKIN

1.  Avoid tanning and sunburns for at least 7 days before your session (indoor or outdoor) - too much color flattens your skin in pictures and can look splotchy, orange and add weight!

2. Use a toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips for a week leading up to your session.  Then, apply a moisturizer like Aquafor to seal in the softness.

3. Exfoliate your face 3-5 days prior to your session.  Makeup will go on more evenly with fresh skin.  Also, be sure to wash and moisturize the day of your session.

4. No eyebrow waxing for at least four days before your session.  Skin can look red and irritated.

5. Checkout Pinterest/angelworks/fresh-faces for makeup ideas.

6. Get plenty of rest the night before your session.  Rest cool, wet tea bags on closed eyes to reduce puffiness in a pinch.

7.  Apply all over body lotion just before your session to give skin a healthy glow.  Try L'Oreal Sublime Bronze wash-off body makeup lotion for a subtle color boost.

8. Ensure your nails are looking their best by getting a fresh manicure before your session - the best looks are either natural, French or nude.

PREPARING YOUR WARDROBE

 1. On session day, bring your outfits on hangers.  If you stuff them into a duffel bag, it will show.

2. Don't forget appropriate undergarments - nude colored, strapless, backless, think through your outfits and plan accordingly.
