[@julieruby]

Thanks Pamela! Yes, not many artists think of it but copyrighting your work is super important! Glad you got some helpful tips :)

new subscriber and i have been binge watching your videos. I have my first destination wedding next year and you are helping me so much.

@@julieruby oh it’s nothing but the truth! :)

[@thebosticksds1539]

I always look forward to watching you new videos! Can you maybe a video when you do hair and pricing please 😁

[@julieruby]

Aww thanks so much! So I've decided not to offer hair services since that is not what my passion is. I just do styling for photoshoots , but they are basically just curls. If you are thinking about offering bridal hairstyling, I would charge a little less than your makeup services as they are always a little less by $10 or so.

Which lighting is best for what uses (yellow toned & bright white toned)? Also do you prefer natural lighting or ring light? I've always been told that the ring light is best but my photos just don't look how I want

[@julieruby]

Hi Alicia! You will use a yellow or blue toned light depending on which lighting you are currently in to counteract it. As I mentioned in the video, if you are under yellow fluorescent lighting you'll use a more cool toned light to counteract it and vice versa! Natural light is ALWAYS going to be the best option, but sometimes it's not possible depending on the situation.

Hello ❤❤ Really thanks for everything ❤❤❤ i have one question which app do you use for edit photos ?

[@julieruby]

Hi! I don’t edit my actual photos. The only thing I may do on occasion is fix the contrast if the lighting is too bright but I don’t touch my clients face ever. I just use my phone for the contrast.

[@Mariam-kk1xx]

@@julieruby thanks a lot ❤️❤️❤️

[@Aprajita_09]

In potrait mode .. how much exposure settings u keep can u please tell ❤

[@julieruby]

Hi! This totally depends on what lighting you are dealing with! I wouldn’t mess with the exposure too much though otherwise you’ll lose the saturation.

[@MarvelousMakeup1]

Thanks for sharing ! Definitely learned something new today thanks Julie 🙌🏻💌

You're so welcome! I'm glad you got some good tips! :)

[@divyaruchi24]

It's really informative..could you help me with the app link to eraser

[@julieruby]

Thank you! It's an app that I downloaded from my App store on my phone so there isn't a link to it.

[@ArtwithclassByTina]

Hi Can u create content on how you created your logo?

[@julieruby]

Hi Tina! It actually its pretty simple! I use Canva (website) for all of my social media designs and I just picked a font within that! I decided to be pretty basic as far as my logo goes since it's just my name :)

[@ArtwithclassByTina]

@@julieruby thank you 😊

[@meghanbrantley390]

Thankyou so much this is great! I am getting myself an iphone! Lol 😂

[@julieruby]

You definitely can't beat iPhone quality! The newer ones definitely rival a professional camera :)

[@ericamoza1257]

Where did you make your logo photo before using the eraser app?

[@julieruby]

Hi Erica! All of my social media graphics I make on Canva :) it's a free online site! That's how I create my KZbin thumbnails as well.
