A Pro Makeup Artist Taught Me How to Do My Makeup for Zoom…and It Totally Blew My Mind
As I learned, applying makeup that looks good on camera is totally different than applying makeup IRL. “It’s all about emphasizing features you want to come forward—like turning up the contrast on a picture,” says Denno. “It’s nice to have a little color on the cheeks and the lips.”
To help me amp up my look, Denno spilled on the one tool I need to wake up my eyes (which is very important for those Monday morning meetings), how to make my lashes look thicker without a professional treatment, and an easy trick to instantly plump up my lips. And the most mind-blowing tidbit she shared? The most effective way to conceal dark under-eye circles is with lipstick... not concealer.
By the end of our lesson, I looked like I had the “touch up your appearance” filter with no filter at all. And I felt great. The most important takeaway from our lesson was that you can choose your own adventure when it comes to applying Zoom makeup, and mix and match her methods depending on what you need on any given day. "Just like you can in real life, you can go on Zoom with absolutely nothing on your face and look gorgeous," says Denno. "Or you can choose any one of these products we put on just to have a little va va voom. It's all about personal preference—you're your own canvas, so just have fun."
