Before all of that actually happens............get a good make-up artist. Why trouble yourself when you can ask someone else solve your problems. Unless of course the models face is on the rough side, then bo pian.

Trust me, a pro MUA can do wonders. It really depends on how experience they are.
It maybe 2 different case but why even step into "ZONE DI" when "ZONE MUA" can help you solve most of the problems. Plus your lighting skills have to be good too.
It all works hand in hand.

Am I right, Mr Pro? Long time no see...
Haha.....aiya......only a dozen MUAs to play around with.:bsmilie:

well course good mua, good light equal better picture.. yes, even the brand for strobe (etc.. broncolor) or good lens helps.. but put it in this way.. can bridal photography simply goes without DI before delivering (although it can be minimise)..

Bridal photography has always produce beautiful skin texture due to own naturally consistent MUAs which they hired them full time. Normally it is minimized rather than smoothen the whole face.
No you don't need a Broncolor to produce good results. Any lighting brands can produce good decent results. Broncolor just happen to be more consistent and reliable.
I believe 50mm f1.8 (cost $170-180) can produce great results taking in consideration the original poster is new to photography.
What I am trying to say here is, MUA is the first foremost important to minimise it. Second, is lighting will help a lot to minimize more. So when it comes to DI, you may not need to do much or not at all. We rely on DI only if the MUAs have done their best and we have done our best in lighting up the subject. If we can spend less time sitting and clicking our lives away in front of the screen, would that put us in a less stressful enviroment.
Not that I don't use PS but I do. I use it minimally. So tired if you need to do all this touch up(yes you can hire a DI person) but it's additional cost.
