My Experiments With My Canon Ixus 255 HS And Neutral Makeup
You know what is the most frustrating thing that can happen to a beauty blogger? At least to me? Take all the time in the world to choose an outfit, accessories, do your makeup that actually turns out beautiful and then your camera fails you! Yes it simply fails you... The worst part? It even tricks you!
I got a camera (Canon Ixus 255 HS) as a pre-birthday gift. It is what I wanted. It is what I has researched for... I got it... I was ecstatic... And then the issues started... The camera clicks well... It has superb shutter speed... It even lets me click in burst mode... But all pictures come out with an Orange cast... So initially I thought I had received a defective piece and so I googled "Canon Ixus 255 Orange Cast" and voila I found the issue... The stupid camera has an HS attached after it's name which is short for "HyperSensitivity (to light?)" and well the Orange cast is due to the fluorescent lights I use while shooting at night :/
Sighhhhhhhhhh...
All my hard work gone waste... But I am still going ahead and posting some pictures that I clicked of the Nude/Neutral Makeup I did the other day... It's a part of my ongoing experiments with no liners and no kajals :)
Because of the Orange cast, it looks like I have been baking myself in the sun lying on some remote beach and sipping Mojitos... Alas! It's just my freaking camera not understanding me :/

P.S. I don't think this look suits me :/ I miss my kajal :(
Note: It may seem that I am nude as well, however please note that I am wearing clothes! It just happens to be a tube dress and well it obviously doesn't show in the pictures :/ I realised it after editing :(
U looking hotttt suma ... n I did missed kohl honeyyy ...
ReplyDelete*giggles* thank u Rashmi ^_^ and yup using a kohl totally transforms the look... I miss it too :)
DeleteI can totally understand your frustration with the camera...i generally dont prefer to click pics in tube light.. and nor am I an expert on operating the camera and adjusting the shutter speed and white balance etc..infact to get good pics clicked i even thought to attend a basic photography class :)
ReplyDeletebtw you do look lovely..the tanned pics suits you :)
I swear ya!!! I chose not to buy a DSLR and go for a point and shoot cause I didn't want to be bothered with all these presets and settings and all that but this dumb point and shoot needs to be told everything :( Sighhhhhhhhhh... listen if you are planning for a photography class then call me and I'll join with you :D

I love the eye makeup.. Love your no makeup look..
ReplyDeleteawwww thankyou so so so much Sweetheart ♥ mmmuuuuaaahhh
Deleteyeah yeah .... we know you are not nude hehe !
ReplyDeleteIts not that the look doesnt suit you . It does suit you , but its too pale and gives a washed out look , SO add a li'le more colours and it will be balanced . Just add a few more colours , specifically coral shade to balance out the washed out look . It will be fine .
ha ha thank you for understanding Preeti ;) :D
Deleteyou think adding colors would look nicer? Then I'll pakka se do that next :) ♥
I love earings...n yes you look simply gorgeous...makeup dsnt matters...
