I love this photo because it shows how much work a team can put into making a beautiful image look like nothing was done to it. The photographer Allen Chu worked to light it properly then finished it off by retouching it perfectly. The model Serena Tham @ Photogenics works to take care of her skin and is comfortable in front of the camera. I used great primer, concealer where needed, cheek stain, and illuminating skin products that catch the light of strobes to give her that added glow. 

Think about creating an image before doing it. Learn what you need to do to achieve each look you are going for be it glowing natural or colorful and over the top. Each image in your portfolio is there to show your skills, make each image work for you.

As a makeup artist this image will be great for clients who want to see you can do natural skin and messy hair, fresh skin is so important in your portfolio. This photo will be great for Serena Tham to show off her great skin. This photo really shows off Allen Chu’s skill and diversity as a photographer.
