Makeup for photography deals specifically with effect, as the camera picks up details that the eye may miss. A corrective makeup can only correct so much, the rest is up to the photographer to scrutinize any flaws and watch for the right moment to capture a flattering expression. The photographer has the ability to correct and create a look using angle and lighting. Lighting is one of the most important aspects of the shoot, and the makeup artist needs to understand the lighting in order to apply the correct makeup for the conditions (or you need to understand if you are doing your own makeup).
