If you want to be successful on Instagram, you need one thing above all else - breathtaking photos. However, there is more work behind the beautiful pictures of successful influencers than you would think at first glance.
The perfect pose, the right light, image editing and of course outfit, make-up and a suitable hairstyle. We reveal tips and tricks that will help everyone take the perfect Instagram photo.
If you want to take expressive photos of yourself, you should definitely not go without professional make-up. Since a photo is a snapshot, small imperfections on the face are more prominent. With a few helpful tips, however, everyone can make themselves look pretty for a photo shoot and shine in front of the camera.
First, the skin should be prepared for make-up with nourishing products. Small imperfections are then evened out with a primer before a foundation that matches the skin tone is used to create a flawless complexion. The next step is to highlight individual parts of the face.
"To make the face look three-dimensional and plastic, you work with light and dark shades or contouring. To give the face even more freshness and glow, the lightened areas can be additionally emphasized with a creamy or powdery highlighter," recommends make-up artist Iris martinThen the forehead, nose, chin and the area under the eyes should be powdered.
If the photos are taken in a closed room with artificial light, the eye make-up can be more intense. Otherwise, the eye make-up should be more natural. In any case, the eyelashes should be well mascaraed. The technique is particularly important here.
“You press the brush towards the roots and move it back and forth, which makes the roots fuller and the tips softer. My tip: apply mascara to the end of the eyelash towards the temple, which gives an incredible lifting effect,” recommends make-up expert Nathalie Fischer by Babor. For a radiant smile, you must not forget your teeth.
Of course, you should also take care of your teeth with whitening products. Finish with a nice lipstick or some lip gloss and you have the perfect photo look.
Of course, your hairstyle is also very important for a good photo. Beautiful curls or a shiny, straight mane - whatever you like and suits your type is allowed. Loose hair frames the face and makes the face appear slimmer. In any case, it is important that the hair looks healthy.
“If you take care of your hair properly, it will have a natural, consistent shine. Moisture is the most important thing here and makes your hair shine,” explains Andreas Wild, Senior Stylist at John Frieda. If you want to add a beautiful shimmer to your hair in a hurry, you can use moisturizing sprays to care for your hair on the go.
Once you're all dressed up, it's time for the photo shoot. It's best to ask a good friend if she can take the pictures. "A good picture doesn't need a professional camera. We usually already have a powerful camera in our pockets with our current smartphones," reveals blogger Franziska Schmidt (Instagram: @modernsnowwhite).
If you want to add a little variety to your photos, you can also have yourself photographed in several outfits. A beautiful summer dress, casual shorts with sneakers or elegant jeans and a blouse - this way you have a lot of choice in the end to be able to decide on the perfect picture.
Then it's all about having fun in front of the camera. Movement makes the pictures look more natural, and you should definitely play with light and different angles.
The finished photos can be easily edited at home. Then all you have to do is upload the perfect Instagram photo, along with a nice saying or a few personal sentences...
