Just wondering how you ladies take pictures of your makeup without the light reflecting off of it awkwardly. I seen to have to filter my pictures to make them not so shiny and I hate because I feel like that's cheating.

Try taking the pics in natural light with the camera flash off?

Does natural light mean direct sunlight because when I did it still looked too sparkly.

I think I may just have a horrible camera.

I noticed mine come out MUCH better when I take it in front of the bathroom window using natural light, turn off all other lights around yoi.

Natural meaning no light bulbs. Mine did the same when I did it in direct sunlight. Try standing by an open window without direct sunlight.

Thanks a lot Shelby! I'll definitely try that tomorrow

I take pics with natiral lighting but when I upload them to my computer they come off a bit dull sometimes. So I go into my photo editing program (gimp, free) and a bit of contrast to my pictures.

That's what I've been noticing with mine. The colors don't look as vibrant as they do in person. I'll definitely download that one though. Thanks Pamela
