Beauty & Cosmetics Photography in Los Angeles

Beauty & Cosmetics Photography for LA brands

Beauty photography lives or dies on skin, color and light. A lip shade has to read true, a glitter liner has to sparkle without blowing out, and skin should look like skin after retouching, not plastic. That is the standard we hold to on every beauty frame.

The work in our gallery shows the direction: bold graphic eye looks, color-washed editorial makeup, glossy lips with gem accents, florals and props used as part of the face, and dramatic hair color. These are beauty portraits built around the product on the face, the kind of image cosmetics, skincare, nail and hair brands use for campaign heroes, social launches and retailer assets.

A beauty shoot is planned around the product story. Is this a new shade range, a texture, a launch with a specific mood? Add a moodboard or shot list link to the request form and we will propose framing, lighting and a shot count that covers hero images plus the tighter crops your team will need for ads and product pages. Larger beauty campaigns can be booked as a commercial editorial production: the Half-Day shoot is $797 (max 4 hours, up to 500 RAW photographs) and the Full-Day is $1,997 (max 8 hours, up to 1000+ RAW photographs).

Retouching is where beauty images are finished. Our retouching service covers editing, color grading and skin smoothing at $40-$60 / Image, keeping texture while cleaning up distractions so the makeup is the hero.

A note on packshots: the gallery here is beauty portraiture. Product-only cosmetics shots (a compact, bottle or tube on a set) are quoted per project via the form; tell us what you need and we will scope it. Turnaround is Standard (8 business days) or Rush (4 business days, rush fee applies).
