XP : E-Pics are Sunday!

Angusaur

So I bought my dress for my E-pics this Sunday. It's the plus size version of this dress, so I fill this out way more than the model lol. The waist is actually right under my bust.

I like that it's simple so it will compliment whatever FI is wearing, which we haven't picked out yet. And it hides my very awkward belly (which is currently 80% fluff and 20% baby) and I'm wearing it with brown flats. Should I add a white cardigan maybe? A big necklace or a simple one? I don't know what I'm doing with my hair yet either.

Also, never really had Pro pics done, so any makeup tips will be appreciated. We're taking pictures outside.

Very pretty!

i wouldn't add a cardigan. I would do a chunky necklace with your hair pulled back, or a simple necklace with your hair down.

I would add a belt around the elastic too! I think a chunky necklace would look great since the shoes and dress are solids. I like your dress!

Adorable!

I don't usually wear much makeup, so I went the route @kimches did; a little thicket around the eyes and a little darker lipstick.  I'd skip the cardigan, and just go with a chunky necklace.  

Make sure you show us the final results!

I usually just wear BB cream, but for my e-pics, I went to Sephora and had them match me with the proper Make Up  For Ever HD foundation. I bought the kit which came with primer, the foundation, and finishing powder. I did my blush a little heavier than I normally would, and I think I could have probably gone a little heavier, but overall I was happy. I also did my make-up outside in natural light, which made it a lot easier to tell how everything looked.

One tip I read was not to use moisturizer with SPF...that's what cause your face to look like a ghost if flash is used.

This so much. Make-up Forever HD is amazing and probably the best make-up purchase I've made. My e-pics from last month turned out fantastic, skin complexion looked smooth, no red spots, I can't pimp MUF HD enough!

Also, agree with the no SPF, and if you use eye-shadow, try to avoid sparkly shades, because of the flash makes it look lighter than it is. If you can, go to Sephora (or Ulta) and when asked if you can be helped, explain that you're getting professional photos done. The gal at Sephora did a half face and talked me through doing the other half and recommended great products. 

Most of all, have fun! E-pics are a great time to get to know your photographer and just have fun with FI. Good luck!
