Common Issues

Colors don't match the creative vision

Why: Camera captures literal colors, not the artistic mood you intended

Try: adjust the color grading to match a professional, polished creative style

Describe the mood you want (e.g., 'moody and dark' or 'bright and airy')

Fine details are lost in the photo

Why: Phone cameras compress detail in textures, brushstrokes, or fine work

Try: enhance the fine details and textures, make the craftsmanship visible

Tap-mark the specific detail area for targeted sharpening without artifacts

Background doesn't complement the portfolio piece

Why: Workshop or studio backgrounds can look messy in portfolio shots

Try: replace the background with a clean, professional surface that complements the piece

Neutral backgrounds let the creative work speak for itself

Lighting makes the work look flat

Why: Even lighting removes the depth and dimensionality of physical work

Try: add subtle directional lighting to create depth and dimension in the piece

Slight side lighting reveals texture and depth that flat lighting hides

FAQ

How do I show true makeup colors in photos?

Natural daylight or corrected white balance shows makeup colors most accurately. The AI corrects color casts from salon and bathroom lighting that distort every shade.

What's the best lighting for makeup photography?

Ring light for consistency, or natural window light for accuracy. The AI can enhance either to beauty-standard quality.

Should I retouch skin in makeup photos?

Light retouching is expected β€” smooth minor distractions while keeping skin texture visible. Over-retouching makes makeup work look fake.

How many portfolio photos per look?

3-5 per look: full face, eyes close-up, lips close-up, three-quarter profile, and any special detail. Show range within each application.

Do before/after photos really help?

Transformations are your most powerful marketing content. They demonstrate skill and build client confidence. Always photograph before applying makeup.
