Dry your silk by air drying

Some boudoir photography studios offer professional makeup artists and hair stylists. Plan a consultation visit to discuss makeup application, allergies and preferences. Most makeup artists provide their own cosmetics, but if you have an allergy or sensitive skin you may want to purchase hypoallergenic cosmetics in shades recommended by the makeup artist prior to the session. Most boudoir sessions focus on heavy application of lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. To complete the boudoir look on your own go for wet cheap lingerie, pouty lips and accentuated eyes.

Hair Styling
Although messy bed-head hair from a wild night is sexy to your partner, attention to hairstyling is a must during a boudoir-photography session. Whether you hire an on-set stylist or groom your own tresses, plan for quick style changes. Start with a loose french twist or updo. By simply removing a clip let your hair fall naturally into a sexy, slightly disheveled look. Ask the photographer if you can bring a curling iron for touchups between set changes. Go light on hairspray, so your hair will flow naturally.

Set your machine to delicate cycle and the lowest spin cycle. You don't want your silk to get ripped apart while spinning. Use a cool water setting, never hot. (See References 1 and 2).

Use a mild detergent to keep the fabric from falling apart. Any soap that is too strong may make it difficult for the silk to stay together. (See References 2)

Dry your silk by air drying, keeping it away from sunlight or heat sources. You can also try drying your silk in the dryer on air fluff or a no-heat setting. Any extra heat to the silk may shrink or break it.
