Online meetings, we all have quite a few of those these days… But that camera sometimes doesn't do wonders for your looks, don't you think? With these beauty tips you will always be at your best during your online meetings. And they really don't cost you much time!
To ensure that you have the most natural light, it is best to sit near a natural light source, with the light coming from behind your camera. If you don't have that option, use a desk lamp and let its light bounce off a nearby wall. Avoid pointing the lamp directly at your face as this can give you an unflattering yellow glow.

Don't have time to do your makeup? Zoom has an option to put a filter over your image that smoothes your face. You do have to download the Zoom desktop app for it, but you can easily turn on a filter there. You can also change your background if you want to take the attention away from yourself a little more, if you prefer.
Did you eat (too) much salt last night (or drink wine)? Then your face may seem a bit swollen in the morning. A quick solution is to cool your face with a cooled face roller, so that it shrinks a bit. Therefore, put your roller in the fridge or freezer as standard, so that you can always use it when you need it.
Ai, will you see… Do you have a meeting, you get all red spots in your face. You can solve this problem by rubbing your face well with a moisturizer before you apply your makeup. You can use a complexion correcting cream if you suffer from a red (or pale) face. For even more coverage, you can also use a concealer to hide dark circles.
Tired eyes can appear rather dark on camera. To prevent this, it is best to apply a light, shiny eyeshadow on your eyelids and a somewhat darker one in your arch. Use a blending brush to blend the two colors well, so you won't get clear dividing lines.
Another tip to make your eyes look better on film is to curl your lashes before applying mascara. It can make your eyes look bigger and give you a more alert look. The most beautiful? It only takes a few extra seconds!
A little bit of blusher can instantly give your face a more vibrant look, making you look healthier. A cream blusher gives a nicer effect on camera than a powder blush, because they often look more natural. Use a small amount and use your fingers to dab a small amount into your skin.
Also some highlighter can do wonders for your look on image. Apply a small amount to the corners of your eyes for a brightened look. You can also apply a little above your cheeks to give yourself an instant facelift. On camera this will look like the light is hitting all the right places on your face – score!
Pale lips can give you a corpse-like appearance, of course you don't want that… So use your favorite color on your lips to give yourself a more lively look. Opt for a colored lip balm or matte lipstick instead of a lip gloss, because a lip gloss can look a bit too shiny in the picture.
You don't have to completely model everything, but a quick touch-up before your meeting starts can't hurt. Spray some dry shampoo on the roots of your hair and give yourself a short head massage. Then brush your hair, especially around your hairline, to give yourself a voluminous haircut!
