Hi makeup experts and enthusiasts!
I’m a professional photographer with hundreds of weddings under my belt.
From 2008-2021 the desired look for brides was to eliminate the shine from oily skin.
Then it suddenly switched to “Glowy” skin where the skin looks extra oily and shiny.

So now I’m in a tough spot while lighting and retouching photos.
I need to somehow discern who wants to look oily and who doesn’t.
Any tips for me?

Thanks so much!

    What people are aiming for is plump, youthful, tan, moisturized skin that looks natural. Like a woman with perfect skin after being on vacation for 2 weeks. So, they attempt to imitate that by using foundation that has a “shine” to get the plump look and gloss over pores, bronzer hitting the parts of the face that would be hit by the sun, more natural tone blushes and “full” blush placement to achieve the youthful and flush look, and glossy lips.

    In regards to photography, which I know nothing about, I guess what people are going for is how they look in the light at sunset (golden hour?) That’s the kind of filter people go for lately. So kind of the golden orangey tint/lighting to give that fresh tan look.
