If you are getting pictures taken and you imagined having long flowing hair, glowing skin, and the perfect makeup, there are some things that you want to do. You don't have to pay to have a professional blow out and style your hair, or get professional makeup done, to look great in your pictures. You want to look into getting these different things on your own, and see how you look with your own styling before paying for any professional help.

Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are an easy way to get long healthy looking locks, and to add some color to your hair if you want. You can get ones that are made of real hair or synthetic hair, and you can also choose how you want them put in. Some extensions are woven into the hair and will last until they are removed. Professional assistance can be helpful but isn't necessary, especially if you get extensions that just clip in.

Spray Tan

A spray tan is something that you can do on your own with a bottle, or easily at a spray tan booth. You don't have to pay someone top dollar to have them come to your home and do the tan privately, and instead you can be in an out of a local tanning place, or with a bottle of spray in hand, in a matter of minutes and at an affordable cost. This gives you a healthy complexion and  you can look like you were in the sun.

Practice Contouring

If you purchase some highlighter for the face and blush, you can work on contouring on your own. This is the most noticeable detail when you get your makeup professionally done. There are even kits with directions that make learning to contour your face easy, and you can watch a variety of tutorials online.

If you are ready to get your photos taken and you want to look great, but you don't have a lot of money to spend on the different beauty treatments that you want, these are some of the things that you can easily do on your own, and you can do them at a very affordable cost. Practice your look a few days before the shoot so you aren't going into the shoot with doubts about your appearance, and so you can practice and perfect how you want to style your hair and do your makeup. Contact a salon, like Detour Salon & Detour The Store, for more help.
