Look Your Greatest
You want to look your best possible.
Most people look great, except that they have no idea how to style themselves up. Even people who have done a great amount of research likely don't have the professional skill, tools or time to perfect their skills.
This is why a professional makeover artist would make a huge difference in enhancing the look of the model.
Transform into a Different Style
Apart from looking great, you want to give yourself a new look, which is something different from your usual style. You can be sweet, edgy, sexy, feminine or anything you want. You can look younger or more mature.
Transform into a Known Character
You want to be transformed into another character, celebrity, or "someone" in another era, usually for special events such as company D&D or Halloween parties.

Why Did Skai Start Doing Makeover Photography?
One of the biggest reasons that drove me to start portrait photography was the ambitious mission to make women feel more confident.
When I was working in an educational institute, a hot colleague, who's also a mum, sighed that she was getting older. The thought of an elegant, confident, capable and genuinely kind lady who had sweetened my working life sounding a little low started boiling up my passion for photography.
At the initial stage of my portrait photography journey, I initially thought great photographers could do wonders by transforming any lady into beauty with their photography skills - it's just partially correct.
I started approaching my female friends to model for me and most of the kind ladies didn't even know basic makeup. As my photography skill progressed, I saw that the results didn't improve as much as I had expected. After working with more hair and makeup artists, I began to see the importance of makeovers.
How Did Skai Start Doing Makeover Photoshoot?
I was blessed.
A family friend of mine saw my enthusiasm and started coaching me pro bono. She was none other than Tricia Lee, an ex-commercial hair and makeup artist who was a veteran in the art. She stopped taking up commercial makeup jobs because she chose her three young children and mum (with bad health) over her passion, and fortunately, she had a very capable, understanding and loving husband. During that period of time when her children were older, she was even given the opportunity to start a makeup school overseas and we guessed it right that she would give it up for the sake of her family.
I had my first-hand experience with Tricia as she joined me halfway through my photoshoot. Within a short span of time in an outdoor place, she transformed the model into a gorgeous lady.
My next memorable experience with Tricia was when I specially arranged a photoshoot with a teenager. The makeover was done at Tricia's place and the young girl was transformed into a lady. During the photoshoot session, Tricia was able to perform some magic in between the sets to transform the look again.
Many years later, Tricia Lee finally decided to help me again upon my rant over my unluckiness that most of my makeup artist friends weren't available on a specific day that a client set on for a physique photoshoot. I had to top up the fee for her though. She stunned me again with her skill that she was able to create a very realistic effect of perspiration, not only on the model's body but also on his face! It took skill and years of commercial experience to create the details.
Tricia would do freelance makeovers during her free time only at the request of her friends. Sometimes, she shared her work with me and I was always amazed. Some of her requests were from clients who needed to attend their company's D&D, which had a special theme. They would hire her to do a makeover to transfer them into any character (eg. a well-known celebrity or a character from a movie).
Unfortunately, Tricia was an extremely dedicated housewife and I didn't even have the opportunity to meet her up apart from family gatherings, let aside have another makeover photoshoot with her. Her makeover fee was high for her vast experience and god-like hair and makeup skill.
I'm lucky that I'm able to work with different hair and makeup artists over the years to create different looks for people to make them look good and become more confident.
Understanding Makeover Photography
What is Makeover Photography?
Makeover photography is a photography category that relies on a makeover specialist (stylist) to transform the look of the model (client). The makeover specialist will beautify the model by highlighting her good features and hiding her flaw(s). It usually includes a change in cosmetics, hairstyling and/ or clothing. The professional makeover photographer will coordinate with all parties and, with his skill, experience and equipment, create flattering pictures that will entice the viewers and document the great effort executed by all parties.
In short, a makeover photoshoot involves a photographer, a makeover specialist, a hair and makeup artist and a model. For most non-commercial makeover photoshoots, the makeup and hairstylist acts as the makeover specialists.
What is Makeover Photography also Known as?
Makeover photography is known by several synonymous terms, including but not limited to transformation photography, glamour photography and beauty photography. Each of these terms encapsulates the essence of the genre, emphasising the enhancement and refinement of the subject's appearance through various visual techniques.

FAQs
-
What is the difference between makeup and a makeover? Makeup refers to cosmetics, while makeover refers to a radical transformation of one's appearance. -
Does makeover really make a big difference? Yes! I've worked with many people and I've seen the difference by witnessing the "before and after" look. They look so much better after the makeover. In fact, I've also witnessed the transformation of some freelance models - even some talented professional models require the assistance of professional hair makeup artists to look astonishing. -
Will I look very different from my original self? Yes and no. Your good features will be highlighted and your flaws will be enhanced. Therefore, you will definitely look different from your original self but in a good way. Before the makeover, you can discuss with me and the hair and makeup artist the degree of difference you wish to create. You can request for a makeover that won't transform you too much or we can have fun turning you into "another person". You have choices. -
Can men do a makeover photoshoot as well? Yes, of course. The males deserve the right to look dashing as well. -
Do you provide outfits? Unfortunately, not at the moment. -
Can I do a makeover without doing a photoshoot? Yes, do give me a brief description of your requirements and I will seek permission from my makeover specialist to pass you her contact.
