So, I did another photo shoot today. My main let down are my expressions (or lack thereof). So, I decided to try harder than I ever have before, to come up with some creative expressions. The picture to the right was my result.

I used Lime Crime lipsticks. I think they work wonderfully for photo shoots. I’ll be posting my lipstick video review pretty soon. The colours look fabulous with professional lighting!

I edited the picture myself, as I’ve dabbled in editing and whatnot in the past. I will say that the only editing done that had an effect on the lips was increasing the brightness and contrast slightly. I did this to the entire image as a whole. I wanted to mention that because I want you guys to know that I’ve not enhanced the lipstick colours in any way at all.

Overall, I’m really happy with how the shoot went, and was quite pleased to get the opportunity to edit these pictures myself. I’m awaiting the rest of the pictures from the shoot. We took such a lot! I’m pretty excited to see them because, as I said, I put a lot of effort into my facial expressions!

Do you think expression is important to get a perfect picture? Do you have problems getting your expression right in a photo? Or are you just too shy to go there? :p Let me know what you think!
