My (makeup photo) dilemma.

Lighting will forever be my dilemma--especially during the "winter" months when light sources are scarce to begin with. But irregardless of that fact, here is the situation. Under "natural" light I never seem to think that my pigments look as pretty as they do when they're flashed at first.

The evidence:

No Flash

With Flash (obviously!)

(Madd Style Cosmetics used! Never Ending Summer on lid. Boognish in crease. She-Bop in deep/outer crease. Janet (from a the Rocky Horror collection that is no longer listed)>She-Bop as lower liner. Ecto Cooler as upper liner. XRay Spex as brow highlight. Applied over SoBe Primed and Proper and NYX Eyeshadow Base in White. UD 24/7 Glide Pencil in Yeyo in waterline.)

Now. The natural light picture isn't "bad," but I also don't think it shows the pure brightness of the colours as they are in real life. The flash picture probably exaggerates the glitter just a little--but is that a bad thing?! I THINK NOT (but please, don't let my bias overrule your opinion). Hense, my dilemma. I don't want to always post two versions of everything.

Which would you prefer to see? Flash or no flash?
