Hey wonderful you !! : D<\/p>\n

Since we have changed last name, Miska and I fixed a new passport last week.<\/p>\n

Then I realized that mine posts I wrote in 2014<\/a> (haha a long time ago now) if "makeup for pass \/ leg \/ driver's license" is still one of the posts that has the most views in the entire blog thanks to so many googling on just this, I thought it would be fun to do a remake !<\/p>\n

So here are my best tips that you can keep in mind when you put on make-up for all types of black and white images, but above all make-up for passports, driving licenses or other ID documents.<\/p>\n

Hope the tips are helpful! :)<\/p>\n

\"make-up<\/p>\n

Here you have my make-up handy!<\/p>\n

The passport picture turned out pretty good actually. Much better than mine before anyway! For the driver's license, you can send in your own picture and then I sent in this particular picture and it was approved. So exactly like this<\/em> I actually look at my driver's license! :)<\/p>\n

BASE & LIPS:<\/h4>\n

\"neutralize<\/p>\n

1. Neutralize redness<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The degree of coverage and the brows (which are already made in the picture) I do as usual - but what I think extra about is to neutralize redness and blemishes a little extra. Red is often darker than your own skin tone, which can look like a stain on black and white images.<\/p>\n

I use glo Skin Beauty Redness Relief Powder<\/a>\u00a0(adlink) and apply it with a small and soft brush for more precision (Nanshy Eye Crease Brush<\/a>) because I only apply the powder on selected areas, not the whole face. I am mostly red around the nose and on blemishes.<\/p>\n

\"bronzer\"<\/p>\n

2. Bronzer<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Before the contouring, I sweep on a little discreet bronzer, almost all over the face but mostly on the sides (not the middle of the nose, the highest point on the cheekbones and chin).<\/p>\n

This is not a step for everyone, the reason for me is that I am so heavenly pale pale so the bronzer becomes like a little extra "soft contouring" before the real contouring then.<\/p>\n

A little premium maybe, but a bronzer is a little warmer in tone than my contouring shadow, so I prefer to apply a little bronzer first in larger parts of the face and then the contouring shadow with more precision.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite bronzers is Indy Beauty Bring on the sun! Bronzing Sculpting Powder<\/a> (adlink).<\/p>\n

\"glada<\/p>\n

3. Gladare mungipor<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Another premium step and a bit quirky (?) Step maybe as I do just because I'm a makeup nerd and think it's fun :) it's to put a little contouring shadow in the mouth pores!<\/p>\n

You have to be relaxed on the passport picture and then I look so heavenly sour. I probably do that anyway because you do not want to make the worst joker smile either haha. But a little difference, I imagine it does anyway! :)<\/p>\n

\"lips<\/p>\n

4. Sharp lip contour & ombre effect<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Regardless of whether you want neutral lips in the same light \/ dark position as your skin tone, or if you want a little darker, I like to mark the contours with a pencil! Marked lips in a black and white picture are so heavenly nice, I think. Everything that provides a little contrast!<\/p>\n

A strong color on the lips can be a bit unnecessary, it is difficult to judge how dark it will be in black and white and it will still only be gray. A dark red lipstick can look almost black on passport photos. I therefore chose a neutral mlbb color (my lips but better).<\/p>\n

In addition, I made an ombre effect with a darker lip pencil, because it's so nice in black and white when the lips get a little lighter in the middle!<\/p>\n

Lip pencil: glo Skin Beauty Lip Liner<\/a>\u00a0(adlink) in the shade Vino.
\nLipstick: glo Skin Beauty Suede Matte Crayon<\/a> (adlink) in the shade Monogram.<\/p>\n

\"bass<\/p>\n

5. Contouring<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Then contouring with light and dark shadows!<\/p>\n

A favorite both of me and the rest of the world;) is Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit<\/a> (adlink).<\/p>\n

The brush in the picture is\u00a0Nanshy Contouring Brush<\/a>. I think a skewed is easiest, but it's a matter of taste!<\/p>\n

Skip red?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I usually put the blush in the middle of the cheekbones, but in black and white pictures it becomes a shadow which can make the cheeks look a bit depressed. Rather lay a little further down or skip the blush completely! By further down I mean the lower part of the cheekbone, not so far down that it is down on the jawbones :)<\/p>\n

EYES:<\/h4>\n

\"make<\/p>\n

Step by step the eyes come further down, but first some tips to keep in mind!<\/p>\n

Eye shadow<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I like to open my eyes a little with a darker color above the globe line (high enough to be seen when looking straight ahead) and otherwise keep the eyeshadow makeup soft and most of the eyelid bright.<\/p>\n

Feel free to choose eye shadows in neutral tones such as beige, brown, white, black, gray. Namely, it can be difficult to predict e.g. how dark a green eye shadow becomes in black and white.<\/p>\n

Examples of a superb and useful palette are Pixi Eye Effect Shadow Palette<\/a> (adlink) in the shade Hazelnut Haze. So nice!<\/p>\n

Once I went spontaneously and fixed workouts (so did not have this in mind when I put on makeup that morning) and had a bright blue eye shadow on the entire eyelid. In black and white, it suddenly looked like a really uneven smokey eye! And not in such a nice Kate Moss way, but rather criminal with blue eyes on both eyes. That mistake is not repeated! :)<\/p>\n

Marked gaze<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The eyes can easily disappear a bit on black and white pictures, so I frame them with eyeliner without skimping! Feel free to place a light eyeliner along the waterline as well.<\/p>\n

Really good products that I like:<\/p>\n
