Yesterday I created my final Tropical face for a competition hosted by @DevinahCosmetics on Instagram. It didn't look very impressive in normal light but being stubborn and crafty I decided to stick with it. Behold! It's amazing what the right light can do for pictures.
Don't be fooled, I don't have any fancy equipment besides my pretty decent camera which I love to bits and am still experimenting with. This series of selfies was taken with me sitting on the floor against a plain wall, which unfortunately is beige rather than white (really need to get it painted), a regular table lamp with just a white bulb placed on the armrest of an armchair. Which is usually how it goes, I might use flash sometimes but I find that low light brings a special feel which I love.
I do still want to get a proper beauty dish and a LED box... But for now I'm just excited to experiment with what I can find around the house.
And as usual, no edits, straight out of the camera because I love seeing how I'm getting a few lines on my face. :) Full product details at the end of post.
