Glitter and photoshoots please help!

[mariavittoria]

Hello everyone, this is only my second post here on Specktra.

I recently started doing people's make-up for photoshoots and I was thinking of trying an intense "rock" look on the next model. I want to layer some black eyeshadow on the lids and give the final touch with glitter (I'm planning to use Make Up For Ever Diamond Powder, which is VERY finely milled).

My question: does glitter photograph well? I've experienced lipgloss (on lids) photographing awfully and I understand that matte shadows are usually better for taking pictures. I'd really like the glitter to show up but I'm wondering if it's a good idea because I really do not want to mess it up.

I would really appreciate your help! I'm sure that many of you are familiar with this kind of tricks.
Thanks!! xxx

Maria,

photographing mu is tricky in and of itself.. but it is very doable. It is hard to use glitter and not have the angles distorted .. be careful. If you are working with a good photographer it should be no problem, but if you are starting out, maybe you could try something less complex.
