The reason that celebrities always look so good in photo’s is because their photos are digitally airbrushed and beautified before they are released to the public. The good news is that you can do the same with your photos. The easiest way to put makeup on your photos is by using a photo editing software.
The secret lies in choosing a photo editing software that makes your digital makeup look realistic. You wouldn’t your friends to know that you airbrushed the photos, would you?
There are several ways for you to put realistic makeup on your photos:
Using Photoshop
Though Photoshop is one of the best photo editing software out there, it is quite expensive. However, they do offer a 30 day trial which is adequate for applying digital make up to your photos. This software allows you to smooth your skin texture, apply lipstick, change eye color and apply eye makeup giving you the look of a professional model.
Seeing as it is the most popular photo editing software out there, there are thousands of tutorials on how put makeup on photos using Photoshop. Obviously, the downside is that once the 30 day trial period expires, you might have to purchase it or switch to another software.
Using Gimp
Believe it or not, this photo editing program is just as good as Photoshop. Applying makeup to pictures using Gimp only takes about 15 minutes of your time. It comes with a heal tool to smooth out imperfections on the skin, a blur tool to smooth out the lips, a paint brush tool to apply lip color and even eyelash brushes to apply eye makeup.
Using Online Photo Editors
There are some pretty cool automated photo editors on the internet which make it very easy for you to digitally airbrush your photos. However, they require you to upload your photos to the website before you can begin editing.
- Picnik
The best thing about Picnik is that it is really easy to use. Its tools are pretty obvious so you can never go wrong. They include an Auto fix button, touch-up button, Blemish fix tool, teeth whiten tool and an eye bright tool.
- SUMO Paint
Unlike Picnik, Sumo paint isn’t automated and you have to do the work yourself just like in Photoshop. However, there are several online guides that guide you through the process of enhancing your photos with sumo paint.
Though there are many other photo editing programs out there, the above should be adequate for digital makeup.
