Up Close and Personal

Most outfit photos are full-body pictures, to showcase the clothes.  When I took pictures of my new dress last week, I snapped a few closeups to see how they'd look.  Here they are.

The closer pictures give a clearer view of my makeup, which is light green eyeshadow and fuschia lipstick over orange lipstick.  The pix also show the dress a little clearer.  The neckline is asymmetrical in an attractive way; that detail gets lost in distant shots.





I like looking at things in different ways and discovering new aspects from the new perspectives.  Do these closeups reveal anything new to you?

  1. I am horrible at getting closeups, I should do more of them.

    I think these are lovely shots Ally. They give us a closer look into your eyes and I can see a warm and welcoming persona coming from you. And you look so beautiful too, your makeup looks great!

  2. Hi Ally,

    It's so great that you posted these close ups. I think that the green shadow really brings out your eyes. You look like such a friendly person!

  3. Nice close ups. You do have beautiful eyes and a lovely complexion. I sometimes like layering different shades of lipsticks too...or one shade lipstick and another shade tinted lip gloss.

  4. Aw I like close-ups. I don't post many of them myself, but I did one today. I think they show off a different view than a full length photo. Maybe closer to what we might 'see' of a person in real life. People stand closer to their friends than far enough away to see their whole outfit. ;)

    I think you have a great smile. I didn't notice the awesome neckline on the dress before - but I love it. Very cute.

  6. For one thing, you have much better breasts than me. ;) I like that you have layered your lipstick. I do that all the time and I immediately like it much better because it gives the colors more depth. You do have great skin!

  12. I love details...that's what gives an outfit oomph! So I love close up shots. I didn't notice the neckline in the previous post with this dress.
