Yellow, Orange and Red + glitter liner look using Fyrinnae

Today I did a warm summery look and wore a vibrant hair flower to match. In doing these pictures, I started wondering about angles. I don't really have a favourite/pretty side. But I do have a habit of photographing one side of my face over the other. Which is why the past few weeks I've been trying to do pics from both sides. I know we all do this either out of habit or you prefer a side. So I'm wondering what angles you like? I did get a request to do more side profile pictures which I have to admit, I usually forget about.
Some gals like to look "normal" in their pictures while some like to look more like glamourous models, playing with angles and making cute/fun faces. I don't really know what "look" I go for (I think it depends on my mood and the makeup I'm wearing) but I would like to play with angles more. When I don't make myself smile even a little bit, I can look very pissed or just stuck up my own ass. Which neither are very appealing.
What look do you go for?
Anyway, on to the makeup...yes, I look LOTSA pics playing with angles. Which ones do you like? Straight on pics always look odd to me. The first pic is the angle I seem to prefer doing the most.

  5. I don't think you could ever look bad. I love the brights, I am scared of reds on me though as my brown eyes are pretty warm and I always look bloodshot even when I try out a teeny bit of hot pink.

    I always try to find flattering angles, so much so I forget to take any fun pictures lol.

  9. i tend to favour my left side because my nose leans slightly into my left so it looks broader from the right side. If i do straight on i tend to lower my head and look up slightly, but thats for modelling shots rather than makeup shots.
    i love the angles on the last shot of each in natural and with flash.
    Love the colours blend too!

  13. This is so purrty, I love tropical and firey looks, and this is like both looks went and had an eyeshadow baby :)

    I'm so awkward with angles =/ I have one angle that I favour for my eyeball shots, weirdly enough if I look to the right it's more flattering on camera than if I look to the left. And I have a more flattering side for full face shots.

    But mostly I just know what doesn't work for me, rather than what does :P

  14. Whee, fiery! This reminds me of flamenco dancing for some reason. And I love how you blended the colours, keeping them a bit distinct from each other.

  18. I am so jealous of your looks... you have that flawless skin and that stunning black hair. In the 6th picture everything looks so perfect, it is almost mannequin-like. That is a compliment! I love this look. :)
