Today I want to show you what I do to not get light reflexion or too much flash on the beauty products that I want to review for my blog.
I am pretty sure everyone have experimented the "strong flash problem" (I am talking to point and shoot owners only lol), which won't let you take a correct close up picture of a simple lipstick without making everything WHITE! (just like this terrible picture lol)
To fix this "problem" I cover the flash with a white tissue (Kleenex for example), this technic will help diffuse the light and will brighten the product without washing it out.
...My camera With the tissue lol (you have to be careful while you take the picture to not put your fingers on the flash or your picture will be Orange !)
Et Voilà !
(by the way this Chanel quad isn't very good :not pigmented enough and very dusty)
I hope all I said made sense and if it didn't you have the pictures lol...Hopefully it will be helpful for some of you.
Muah...
I even have this problem with my DSL. Thanks for the reminder!

ReplyDeletei've been covering it with my fingers or a piece of paper, not sure if it's just my camera but the flash area always ends up burning hot after a few pics with the paper covered!
Thanks so much! great tips

ReplyDeletei def. need to try this
ReplyDeletesoo annoying taking the same pic over and over again

Can this work on a DSLR camera and for eyeshadow looks?
ReplyDeleteI love the thing, it's way better than my old point&shoot, but the flash is blinding when I try to take pictures of my eyeshadow looks & just makes everything look glittery :(
BTW, I love your blog! (found you from Megsmakeup :)
