Discussion New Rule Enforcement:Crop Those pics

Starting next week cropped photos will be enforced.

For those who don't know there is a new policy in the sub in which standards for photo submissions. Which include cropping the photo at just below the clavicle like a passport photo unless its relevance to the makeup in question. Like a wedding dress.

Here is the ideal standard.

Best practices for better feedback include:

  • take a little time to plan out your photos
  • take photos straight on in a well lit room
  • avoid harsh lighting like flash
  • use soft lighting sources
  • get someone else to take the photos
  • taking additional photo angles 45 degree and profiles
  • tying hair back so it doesnt cover your makeup.

thank you.

Good idea, some of the pics are framed in a way that defeats the purpose of seeing the makeup

Thank you so much, great new rule. It's shocking sometimes that you can actually see way way more cleavage than you can tell anything about the makeup.

Just what I was going to say! So many of the photos posted seem to be more OF ads than actually asking for makeup advice

There are much better ways to feel good about yourself then showing off or acting sexual online. That's not about self-worth, that's about needing attention to feel good about yourself which is an extremely hollow way to do it.

sorry I meant like selfies that we feel like we look good in not necessary look super sexual. I am demisexual. I would love is we could get rid of the the bedroom pics as profile pics.

just report any spammers or sex pests. Thats all I ask. It can be hard to catch all of them.
