What is a women’s boudoir photo session?

The name “boudoir” speaks for itself. The boudoir atmosphere takes us to the past, where every wealthy woman had a personal space to change clothes or just relax. There she could feel at ease and wear as she was comfortable, and only a few had access to this zone. The “boudoir” life of a woman has always intrigued and attracted men. Unlike erotic sessions and nude sessions, a boudoir session is natural, free and subtle allusion. Such photo shoots will remind you that you are a woman, will show your femininity and beauty and will obligatorily raise your self-esteem. Do you need to say how men react to such a gift? Do it!

Make-up for a female boudoir session

It is best if you decide to order your make up before the photo session. It is included in my packagesMake-up made by a professional cosmetologist will surely stay on your face for a long time and, above all, emphasize the advantages of your beauty.

If you don’t want to use a make-up artist please let me know and want to make up yourself, don’t forget to bring your make-up kit with you to the photo session. Remember that makeup for a photo session is different than everyday makeup – it should be a bit stronger and the skin should be more dull. So choose its power and colors properly to the specifics of the planned photoshoot. Scrupulously hide any skin imperfections. Avoid glitter and excess pearly cosmetics, such as highlighter or foundation with particles. Do not test new cosmetics on the day of the shoot. What if the fluid drains after an hour and the ink irritates the eyes?

It’s good that the makeup is not very provocative. It is supposed to emphasize your beauty, but not completely cover it. Take a few things with you on the set. It will be:

• matting papers
• lipstick and lip liner
• matting powder
• powder brush
• small mirror

Hairstyle for a female boudoir session

I always recommend my clients to give their hair shape and shine. It seems simple, but you have to stick to a few rules. The hairstyle must be natural. Strong curls or tight buns may not work. Hair can be slightly curled, wavy, rather loose. Hair that is slightly pinned up will also look beautiful. Naturalness must manifest itself in all elements of the photo session. That is why I recommend making sure that the hair is after using conditioner or other cosmetics that give shine and smoothness.

No mercy on regrowths. You have to dye them. I also suggest making an appointment with the hairdresser before the photo session for hair styling and proper styling. Hair is a showcase and attribute of a woman. It is worth making sure that your hairstyle is beautiful on this day. If you decide to style your hair yourself, use a brush or make delicate curls, if you like straight hair – straighten it. I encourage you to leave your hair loose – you can use it in an interesting way for photos, e.g. by twisting a strand in your fingers.

Accessories for a female boudoir session

What else should you take with you to the photo session?
