We just make up the models face, blending the base down below
the neckline. Most of the smoothing is done with camera
filtration and development. The make-up really just covers
blemishes If they have scarred up hands, we will use makeup on
them, and I have on a few occassions used full body make-up on
models that were a bit rough (to be kind). Lighting must be very
even frontal light. Use your mono light dead centre above the
lens, with a large reflector below the field of view reflecting
back up. Another method that works well is to put one light just
outside of the field of view at 90º to the model with a
reflector opposite, also just out of camera range. Don't be
afraid to use a bit of a softening filter also. The key is to
use a large modifier. I use a 60" Moonlight as my main for
glamour stuff, and get it right close, within a couple of feet
of the model.
