Bad lighting is toxic

"Bad lighting is toxic", said Mariah Carey, who is constantly in the spotlight and good make-up is an important part of her whole appearance. In March we’re going to tell you about how important good light is for ladies’ beauty and confidence.

Every make-up artist and hairdresser acknowledges that in their business, a big part of the budget is invested in the right lighting. It has to be as close to natural light as possible so that all colours can be seen for what they truly are. LED lighting is a very close approximation.

Light is of the utmost importance in applying the make-up. It lights up your face accurately to allow you to make the right choices. When choosing the lighting, pick such that has a high colour rendering index (CRI). V-TAC LEDs have a colour rendering index of over 80 (CRI>80), on a scale of 0 to 100. The higher the value of CRI, the better the capability of light sources to represent realistic colours.

Apart from buying good quality light sources, we need to position them properly. They have to be put right in front of your face. If you locate them above your head, you will make a mistake. Then the light will be blazing and will cast a shadow, which will make you put too much make-up on. But the biggest mistake would be to use fluorescent lighting, which is too bright and will prevent you from choosing the right combination of colours and applying them in the exact amounts to make you look good.

With V-TAC products you can avoid fashion goofs and be equally beautiful in front of the mirror at home or at the salon and in the park in daylight.
