If youâre feeling like the camera on your laptop isnât doing you any favours, youâre not alone.

Find five tips below that will make you freshly stand out among other tiny faces in a Zoom meeting.
Start with applying a good moisturiser. A good intensely moisturising skincare is very essential when you are starting out any look, home or not
Use a good concealer and apply it with care as the under eye area is very delicate. A good concealer (no, donât apply foundation under the eyes) has light distracting properties and really makes you look like youâve had a good rest and instantly brightens the eyes.
3. Avoid looking too shiny on camera. It might seem appealing as a shiny face could easily be misinterpreted for healthy looking. The difference is that youâre looking for a healthy sheen and not for an all over shiny appearance. Achieve the balance by applying an oil-free foundation or tinted moisturiser. Keep it looking neat while helping your skin maintain its natural dewiness without adding any unwanted oily-looking shine.
As eyebrows are the frame to your face, go for a full and strong eyebrow that doesnât look overdone. Brush up the brows with a brow brush and use a matching or slightly lighter eyebrow pencil with a sharp point to draw vertical fine lines that imitate individual hairs where needed and use a brow gel to tame the brows.
You might not be into wearing a lot of color on your lips, but a little color (light pink and nudes) will make you look instantly âdoneâ and translates very well to being on-camera. If you usually wear a balm or gloss to work at the office, a neutral semi matte or sheer lipstick color will make you look put together on Zoom.
Last but not least; naturally (day) light is always flattering. Face a diffuse light source. For example: a window with a curtain over it. The lightning will hit your face symmetrically and therefore wonât appear to bright.
