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!

    Look up face makeup templates online and there will be various resources for different face shapes. The placement of highlighter and illumination is the key points people want when referring to glowy. Oily is seen as a displacement out of the template zone. A softening retouch to high impact areas and mattifying around what is considered the T zone. Your best bet is understanding makeup placements and stick to those targeted areas.
