A Photographer’s Tip
For maternity and newborn sessions, I always recommend:
-
Soft matte foundation (avoids shine under studio lights)
-
Soft lashes, not heavy strips
-
Neutral tones (warm browns, dusty rose, soft highlights)
-
Avoid glitter — it catches the light too harshly
-
Hair softly waved or pinned back to keep focus on the face
If unsure, ask your MUA for “soft photo-ready makeup.”
