hey guys welcome back it's sarah
today i want to show you guys the makeup
i did for my passport picture i recently
posted on instagram
and a lot of y'all seem to like the
makeup i did i just spent a lot of time
on it the reason why i really want to go
hard on this passport photo because i've
just had so many
ugly ones that i'm just i'm done
suffering i want to
just look good so as someone who has a
lot of unfortunate
passport pictures that i'm not going to
show here on this video i just want to
show you guys how you can avoid looking
ashy when you're taking a passport photo
and there are a lot of things that i
don't usually do
for my everyday makeup and it's not
really so much about the product
as it is about switching up the
technique oh and before i get into like
the actual look
here's a tip it's technically legal to
bring your own lighting
all right let me tie my hair up so the
first step is
primer now before we start i am the most
preachy person on youtube about
sunscreen but
on this one day you really need to make
sure your sunscreen doesn't have a white
cast
i recommend the milani prime and protect
spf 30 primer
i ran out of mine so i'm just gonna use
the pat mcgrath primer because i'm not
actually going out but if you are just
make sure
you don't have a sunscreen with a white
cast because that's gonna [ __ ] the whole
picture up
also if my face gets a little bit red
while i'm applying makeup that has been
happening because i recently fostered a
cat and i just accepted that i'm
actually allergic to cats that's not
gonna stop me
from having animals but that's just
something that i have to deal with when
i put on makeup or my skincare my face
turns a little red for a short amount of
time but i am willing to make the
sacrifice now for foundation
i'm gonna use the fenty beauty hydrating
foundation as always there's really not
much of a change in the foundation
routine however
if you usually like to go light and
don't like a cakey look it doesn't
matter
no matter how cakey your makeup is the
camera is not going to be able to pick
it up
if it's a photo id so literally if you
have to apply 10 layers of foundation to
cover something just
go ahead while i'm blending this in i
want to give you guys another tip when
you take
the passport photo you have to look
straight directly into the camera so the
symmetry of your face is going to be the
main focus
of the picture you can't do angles like
i take all my selfies like this
because i feel like this side is my best
side but you can't do that in your photo
id
pictures so something i wanted to do in
my picture is just to make my face look
as symmetrical as possible
and it's kind of hard to pick up on
camera but my face is not
naturally symmetrical at all this side
is a lot smaller than this side i don't
know if you can tell
even in the picture itself you can see a
slight difference in my jawline so the
way that i try to make my face more
symmetrical
is to do a side part instead of a middle
part never ever do
a middle part for your photo id picture
because that's going to emphasize
asymmetry and
if you want to look a little bit more
symmetrical you don't have to if you
don't care but
if you do doing side part and covering
the part of your face that is a little
bit bigger than the other side
is going to make a huge difference i
mean i got so many comments saying that
my face looked really symmetrical
in that picture and my face really isn't
it's the trickery
for my under eyes i'm going to use the
dragon beauty color corrector
in dragon fire i'm just going to dab a
little bit
right here and the reason why is when
you're doing flash photography
it's pretty easy to see through the kind
of light layer of concealer
that you put on so you need to make sure
the base and your foundation
is covering all of the discoloration
under your eyes or at least under my
eyes
just zoom you guys in so you can see now
i'm using the makeup revolution conceal
and define
concealer i feel like taking a passport
photo is the time to do that full
on like super heavy concealer look that
you see a lot on
instagram because there's no such thing
as cake face if the pixels are low
i'm a lot more heavy-handed than usual
which is why
my face looks white okay now i'm gonna
do a little bit of contour i'm just
gonna use my fenty beauty amber
matchsticks like i always do
this is pretty straightforward i do this
when i do my everyday makeup but
one thing is i try to make sure that i
can see a little bit of the contour when
i'm looking directly
in so i know that face shape that i want
is gonna show up on camera when i look
straight
[Music]
i'm gonna go over it with the beauty
blender this is also the time if you
have a double chin
to just completely hide your double chin
also i'm sorry the
sun keeps coming in and out i'm using
natural lighting next to set my face i'm
going to use
the rcma no color powder this is a
really trusted old youtube favorite
and this is the only powder i trust and
have tested that doesn't have flashback
i'm gonna use this and bake under my
eyes i am not usually someone who likes
to bake because i have dry skin and it
looks really cakey on me
but again cake doesn't matter when
you're doing a
passport photo so i'm literally just
highlighting all the areas that i want
to pop out
so if you want your cheeks to pop out
this is a really great time to try doing
that under eye
baking i also did right here around the
mouth
in the center of my forehead so that
those areas pop
and i like to use this method instead of
using like a shimmery highlight for
these areas because
that really doesn't look good on flash
photography you're just gonna look like
a disco ball so while let this sit for a
second i'm just gonna do my brows
your brows are really gonna frame your
face so take your time
and really shape them how you want them
to look
and this is how i like my brows to look
i like a thicker and bolder brow and
that's just
personal preference really and then i'm
gonna use the glossy lash
slick mascara and i'm just going to
set my brows brush all the hairs in
place
now i'm just going to dust off all that
powder
baking really looks so good on camera i
feel like that's why professional makeup
artists seem to love it and but like
regular people like us
don't like it because it looks really
cakey in real life but on camera
it looks so good now for the eyes i
think you can't
do something crazy for your passport
photo anyway
but what i like to do is really open the
eyes
and lift the eyes and you can't see the
detail of the eye makeup anyway because
nobody's gonna see it up close so what i
like to do is just
take a little bit of a warm brown
and apply this just on top of the crease
not in the crease but on top
and i'm gonna apply the shade banter
it's right
here in the outer corners and it's just
gonna be a really neutral look
really just to contour the eyes and lift
this area
and then i'm picking up a lighter shade
like in the buff applying this
all over the lids and now i'm just going
to curl my lashes
[Music]
and i'm going to tightline my upper lash
line
i'm just going to blend the tail of the
eyeliner out
you can do an even more dramatic one if
you want this is a time when i would
highly recommend wearing lashes if
you're not typically a falsies girl i
still would really recommend wearing
lashes if you're taking a photo id
picture
because when you're taking a picture
from so far away
even if you have really long luscious
beautiful natural lashes
usually the camera won't be able to pick
it up very much so if you want your
lashes to show up the best way is to
just
get a pair of falsies and get a pair
that you think really flatters your eye
shape because your lashes is going to
lift your eyes even more than the
eyeshadow
and i just applied my lashes that is the
world telling me
[ __ ] you for filming in the living room
i'm gonna use this
new pat mcgrath dark star mascara it is
a lifting mascara
and i'm just going to use it to blend
all the lashes
nothing crazy i actually like the old
pat mcgrath mascara a little bit more so
i'm going to use the fetish eyes mascara
for my bottom lashes
like that nothing crazy for a
highlighter yes i'm still going to use
highlighter
but i'm not going to apply this all over
i'm only going to focus the shimmer
right here so you can still see a little
bit when you're facing
forward but it's not all over like you
won't look crazy and flash
and i wouldn't do the nose tip just
because that would look
way too shiny but i am gonna do the nose
bridge
and i'm actually going to use a little
bit more
contour shape the nose a little bit more
i'm just applying a little bit of
bronzer right here
to shorten the nose for blush you can
really go ham because it takes a lot of
blush for it to really show up on camera
so
i'm going to apply this just right here
and i'm looking
directly into the camera so i can see
that some of the blush is showing
i usually like to do some blush all
around here
but not today because it doesn't look as
good
on camera for lips i'm going to use the
new elf retro paradise
lip liner in the shade okay they did not
give me a shade on here
i'll find out though and put in the
description
[Music]
i really like this lip liner and i'm
gonna use the
colourpop ultra blotted lip in the shade
tattletail
okay this usually i would never do when
i'm wearing makeup because i never apply
foundation on top of powder but
well actually no i did that in my last
video but i'm going to put just
a little bit like a third of a pump of
foundation on here and even after just a
third of the pump i might like
kind of dab it a little just to make
sure it's not too much on there and then
i'm gonna go over
everything the cheeks the nose and that
is just going to make sure that
everything is blended because it can
look cakey but if you have a clear
highlight and then blush and then
contour
it that will show up on camera and this
is just going to make sure everything
looks
face tuned and seamless like that
now i already did this look for my
actual photo but i'm gonna test this out
so y'all can see
what it looks like on camera
[Music]

this useful if you actually do this
makeup look to take your photo id
