Trik-Trik Agar Terlihat Keren (alias langsing) di foto

Biarpun saya selalu berkoar-koar tentang pentingnya mencintai  tubuh sendiri dalam keadaan apapun, tapi ada kalanya tubuh tercinta ini tanpa sebab yang jelas menjelma menjadi “diva” yang rewel dan sulit diatur (seperti berat badan mendadak meroket tanpa sebab yang jelas, dan wajah yang tiba-tiba menjadi membengkak sendiri), dan seringkali hal tersebut terjadi di saat yang sangat tidak tepat seperti wajah sembab disaat akan difoto untuk passport (dan hasil foto mengerikan yang bakal terpampang di passport  5 tahun kedepan). Jadi untuk terlihat lebih representable di foto, terutama yang bakal diupload ke facebook, instagram, dll, berikut ini beberapa tips yang membantu agar terlihat lebih langsing di foto.

• Ice ice baby!!. Kompres wajah dengan air es selama 10 – 15 menit untuk menghilangkan sembab.

• Cover it up!. Bagi yang ahli menggunakan make-up, shading dan bronzer bisa menjadi andalan untuk menciptakan dimensi pada wajah, dan bagi  yang skill make-upnya seperti saya yang berspesialisasi pada riasan badut, bisa melihat tutorial make-up di youtube atau lewati tips ini, banyak berdoa, dan mulailah mencari angle terkurus di cermin.

• Mind your Head. Posisi kepala berperan besar di kamera, jadi hindari mengangkat dagu terlalu tinggi, karena akan memperlebar muka dan fokus orang akan berpindah ke lubang hidung jika  kepalanya terlalu mendongak.

• Camera Up!!. Harus diingat, posisi kamera yang lebih tinggi dari kepala akan membuat leher kita terlihat panjang, karena kita harus melihat ke atas, dan menciptakan ilusi yang merampingkan.

• Twist and Turn!!. Hindari menghadapi kamera secara frontal, karena berpotensi melebarkan tubuh. Selalu posisikan pinggang kita 20 – 90 derajat menyamping dari kamera dan pastikan posisi tubuh kita tetap tegap.

• Go Dark!. Selalu ginakan pakaian gelap yang merampingkan, hitam dan biru tua adalah pilihan yang aman.

• Stripe!. Hindari motif garis – garis horizontal di baju yang berpotensi memperlebar badan, sebaliknya pilih motif garis vertical yang mebuat langsing.

• Suck it in!. selalu ingat untuk menarik perut ke dalam waktu berpose.

• Find your light!. Selalu memposisikan muka menghadap cahaya untuk hasil terbaik

• Relax!!

• Practice makes perfect!!. Angle wajah dan tubuh setiap orang itu berbeda, jadi cara terbaik adalah dengan latihan di depan cermin untuk menemukan sisi paling fotogenik di diri masing-masing

Mirror Mirror on the wall... Who's the Fairest of them All...

Charlize Theron, Evil Queen, Snow White and the Huntsman

 

Recently this question has been repeated over and over again, well actually it been repeated two times this year, I just feeling a bit hyperbolic… first in Julia Robert’s “Mirror mirror” and now in Charlize Theron’s “Snow White and The Huntsman”. Both infused their own spin on evil queen’s character, but I love how Charlize bring the evil queen into a new level of mean.

Yeah, I know the movie was long, the casts was overcrowded, the ending kinda rushed, and I kinda not feelin’ Kristen Steward as the Snow White. Nonetheless, if I have to rate, I’ll give this movie “B” and my main reason is Charlize Theron.

It’s hard to believe that in that movie there is a maiden fairer than the queen, and yes I’m aware that Kristen Steward and Lily Cole was there too, and they are gorgeous, but Charlize is in the class of her own, have you seen her butter like Skin, her beautiful body, or her platinum locks? Maybe the mirror needs new glasses.

Well, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, let’s skip this topic…

I noticed the Evil Queen’s Costumes are so striking, with menacing silhouettes, so I’ve done some research about the costumes… they are truly one of the kind, designed by  Coleen Atwood, a three times Academy Award Winner for Best Costume.

First, Her Wedding Gown, The architectural structure on the Shoulder, made from leather piping on the pleads, makes the Upper area of the gown look like it was made from bones

 Then, We have the Beetle wing dress which is almost never saw the light, it only appear few seconds on the film, well.. so much effort for the dress, because it was made from thousand iridescent beetle wings imported from Thailand.

 Charlize look so intimidating when she wore this Chain Mail with rolled leather and horse mane gown

And the last look that stand out from this film is The Raven colored cape made from rooster feather, combined with ivory colored gown that embroidered so well, it resemble the evil queen’s old peeling skin.

My Personal favorite is her Crown… that the key element that makes her look so beautiful, but so evil at the same time…
