My senior pictures are tomorrow, and I was thinking of this makeup for them! Do you think it'll work? And this is also my MOTD.
For my makeup I used:

Face; -Hard Candy Illuminating Primer
-Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Concealer in Light
-Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation in Buff Beige
-Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in Translucent
-KingMas Professional Makeup Palette
-Hoola Benefits Matte Bronzer

Eyes; CoastalScents 252 Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette (Colors are Pearl White, Peach, Caramel, and Wood Brown)
-L.A. Colors Liquid Eyeliner in Black
-L.A. Colors False Eyelashes
-Loreal Power Volume 24hr Mascara in Black Smoke

Eyebrows; -Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette in Sunbaked Neutrals

Lips; -Blistex Chapstick
-Maybelline Lipstick in Totally Toffee

Application: I applied the primer to my middle forehead, undereyes, cheeks, eyelids, and nose. I blended it in with my fingers.
Then I used a coat of my concealer to the middle forehead, undereyes, cheekbones, chin, under brow, and nose. I used my stippler brush to blend it.
I applied the foundation using the brush applicator it came with, and again used my stippler brush.
I used the "Baking" process by using my Coty powder and applying it under my eyes, on my forehead, and my chin. I brushed away the extra powder with a smaller powder brush.
After that I applied a small coat of Estee Lauder Foundation to my cheekbones, chin, and forehead (I forgot to mention that in the products). I used my stippler brush to blend it.
After that I highlighted and contoured with the KingMas palette. I used a foundation brush to apply the highlight, and a small blush brush to apply the contour with better accuracy. I blended it all with my stippler brush. After that I used my Hoola Bronzer over that to accentuate the contour. I used my contour brush to blend it.
For my eyes I used a white eyeshadow on my lids, then applied the pink/peach color with my finger. Then I highlighted the inner corners of my eyes and my brow bone with the pearly white eyeshadow. After that, I used my eyeshadow brush to apply the caramel color. I blended it into the crease and upwards. Then I took the wood brown and blended it into the crease slightly.
After that I applied my eyeliner and lashes (using my fingers for the lashes).
I applied mascara to blend my eyelashes with the falsies.
For my eyebrows I used the darkest brown in the eyeshadow palette and a small eyeshadow brush to apply the eyeshadow. I started thick and then thinned out the back, following my natural eyebrow shape.
For my lips I applied the chapstick for moisture, then applied my lipstick. I applied it twice to achieve the darkness I wanted. It wore off a tad so it was a little darker before the pictures.

Do you think this would look good in my senior pictures? Thank you!

Thank you so much Kaitlin! Here's the swatch! The less bold one is one coat/swipe, the second one is three coats/swipes :) It's one of my favorite lipsticks!

I'd recommend not to use a translucent powder! It almost creates a flashback on photos. Use a powder the color of your skin! But your makeup looks flawless

The only thing I would change is adding more blush for the photos and maybe a little bit more lipstick. I just know that for my senior pictures I wished I would have worn just a tad bit more because the pictures washed me out a little bit. Definitely bring some with you for touchups. Everything else looks great though and your brows look really good btw!

Yeah I agree with lisa. definitely wear a darker lipstick. I wore a dark ish nude lipstick for half of my pics and a dark red for the other half, and all the nude lip photos were way too light and looked like I'd smeared concealer on my lips or something lol.

Thank you guys for the tips! My senior pictures will be all outside in the woods and lakes. Would it still wash me out with the natural lighting? Thank you guys again!

Yes on the washing out, my pictures were outside but I still wished I would have added just a tad more blush & liner. I think for any pictures a heavier hand for things like lips, eyeliner, and cheeks is best to add just a little more. Don't go crazy with it or anything but it does help to add a little more than usual everyday looks.
