I am having trouble expressing my question. Most articles on make-up, books etc., are oriented towards make-up methods for providing glamour pictures. And all the make-overs I have seen follow the same practices. What I am saying is that what makes a person look beautiful for a photograph taken with a moderate telephoto lense looks artificial when see close up and personal. Best example I have was a car show that had a Penthouse Pet signing car magazine covers. Up close, you could see she had on a thick layer of make-up and it looked artificial.
I get the most compliments about being passable when I go easy on the make-up, only using what I need to cover my beard roots on my face and neck and also some heavy coloration on the eyes. I have read many times about being careful to not go to heavy on the makeup.
So, do places like ULTA or the cosmetics departments of big stores that do makeovers, are they willing to show you how to look good with the minimal amout of makeup, trying to look natural, or do most of the firms only deal with glamour type makeup makeovers?
