Pretty!
As for photo taking, I'm no expert but general tips are make sure your macro function is on and try to take your pictures in natural light without flash.

The lovely and talented MissChievous has a very helpful post on taking photos of makeup which you can find here: http://specktra.net/f280/how-take-be...-camera-46494/

Hope that helps some, &I'm looking forward to more of your posts!

Pretty !
And taking photographs from your own face is very difficult.
In real it always looks different than on the picture.

Love that lip color on you, and your hair is gorgeous! It just looks so healthy.

Thank you so much for the link!! Well.. based on what I read, I did have the natural light - an early afternoon; did have the simple background... does that leave me the only option that I need a BETTER camera?

I think you did a really good job with the camera. Your pictures have great clarity and the colours seem to be true.
