    Look good in an indoor shot especially at night.
    Look average - poor in an outdoor shot especially during the day.

    Natural light and I are not friends. :pac: Having pale skin and a big nose doesn't exact help!! Any tips? Typically more a cailini problem, I know.

    There are a few approaches you can take.
    1. Start using tanning beds, learn about health risks first.
    2. Only go out at night.
    3. Don't allow anyone to take your photo during the day. You can tell people it's based on your religous beliefs.

    Lighting. Indoor yellow light probably gives your skin a bit of colour, compared with Ireland's white, overcast, outdoor light, which probably reflects off your pale Irish skin like some sort of human moon.

    And then there's the position of the light. Overhead light indoors might create shadows that flatter your facial features. Compared with strong ambient light outdoors which doesn't create much facial shadowing.

    I suppose you could carry a lightbulb over your head at all times. People will think you're an ideas man. Boom boom.

    Are there very subtle make-ups I could use? Without making it look like I'm using make-up of course. ;)

    Are you taking photos of yourself? If you think you have a big nose, don't. If you hold the camera yourself and take the shot, your nose looks big. Put it on a surface or a tripod on timer.

    As for makeup, just search for contouring tutorials on YouTube, and it will teach you how to subtly contour your face to make your nose look smaller, lips look bigger, better bone structure etc, if you want :)
