I really enjoyed this lesson learning the different set-ups, lighting and what worked with different face shapes. We also learned about taking close-up eye shots which was really amazing to see everyone's different eye colours  and textures to the eye. I will now be looking into different beauty advertisement's and talk about what a like about them and pick one to inspire my own beauty shoot.
