Shot with Fuji X-T5, Fujinon 50mm f/1.0
I've been playing around with makeup, lights, and photography in general to be more familiar with the products I have and to get ideas on how to use them as well. A lot of times I film makeup looks without planning specifically what look I would want to so I'd usually end up taking more time than expected, and of course the video files takes a BIG chunk of my storage haha. So having a "rehearsal" makeup helps a lot with saving time before the final one to be filmed plus it also gives me an opportunity to experiment without worrying about someone watching me as how I feel like when filming something. (Which I also want to be comfortable about).
In the recent makeup accounts that I have made that are more into short makeup videos, I am still exploring what niche I would like better. If it's the "everyday" makeup content that's leaning more into an influencer kinda thing or into a more creative makeup with fun video transitions and those you can consider "not everyday" look. I think I'd go more with the latter although I would still want to do "everyday" makeups now and then.
I have this idea of a crying angel makeup look using Judydoll liquid eyeshadow just because the glitter eyeshadow is so shimmery it gives a really nice wet look. :D Capturing glitters on camera is quite tricky and although I didn't really set up the lights for that, you can still see them on the pics.
This lighting is for uhhh "normal" beauty lighting. Ideally, I would want to have a reflector under my chin so the shadows would be less harsh but yeah it is good enough that you would be able to see the makeup properly in its most accurate color.
I'm using Olens Nella Ash Gray contact lenses and they look so good when light hits that's why I have a lot of those shots just looking above haha and it's also for the glitters to show more.
The lenses are more blue when worn even though it should be gray that's why I edited the color a bit to be less saturated.
I really love how Fuji 50m f/1 just gives a really nice blur. Although sometimes you can miss a good focus when using f/1, a lot of times when you hit the proper area, it just gives like a magical vibe to me. The blurness doesn't look fake even though at f/1 it is veryyyy blurred while the focused ones are veryyyy sharp.
Anyway, I was using only one light source this time but with different lights position this would look so much better and dramatic so that will be done next time. :D
