Fashion photography is not just taking a photo of model. There is alot of work behind that photograph. It is not only the lighting setup or the background used. Styling the model with appropriate makeup takes alot of the merit in having a good or bad photograph. Make up should not be to much overdone to the point that lighting or the setup of the stage to become unnoticed. Everything must be balanced to produce one whole complete picture.

Makeup done for going to work or for a saturday night out or just to look good in your everyday life normally is not good for fashion photography and to be photographed. Special techniques and different colour schemes are necessary to be mastered to become a good effective fashion makeup artist that is dedicated to photography.
