Different people look best in different lighting conditions. The best lighting for a face depends on its features:
So cold-approachers can use shadows to quickly determine ideal approach times and directions. If you’re recessed and look best with front lighting, you’d want to approach shortly before sunset and from shadow tip toward shadow base. If you look best with side lighting, you’d want to approach at that time of day and about 90 degrees away from the shadow-cast direction.
Different people look best in different lighting conditions. The best lighting for a face depends on its features:
- Top lighting emphasizes brow ridge, cheekbones, and cheek hollows. A recessed chin gets shadowed by the mouth in this lighting.
- Front lighting flattens face and helps hide folds and recession.
- Side lighting makes a high-contrast appearance that enhances forward-projected facial structure. This lighting type accentuates nasolabial folds if present.
- Lighting from behind and slightly off to the side can highlight jawline.
