Have a face in visio, this obstacle course
Among the collateral effects of confinement, Visio life (conference) is a heavyweight, boosted by the widespread teleworking injunction. The high -dose “Visio” is the guarantee of laborious, frustrating, exhausting, time -consuming tunnels. To bring out catatonic and snarling, with the gaze of the myxomatose rabbit. Not to mention the technical dumplings, the microphone or the camera left activated while you make your ablutions, your needs or its fuck. The phenomenon is not uncommon, even generated an appellation: "intimate accidents". One of them cost his job and his dignity to Jeffrey Toobin, 60, lawyer and renowned editorialist, columnist for the venerable magazine The New Yorker. Toobin had the misfortune to forget that he was always on the screen as he masturbated, taking advantage of a break from the meeting via Zoom devoted to the presidential election of November 3 in which he participated. Which Conf Call brought together the New Yorker and New York Radio gratin.
This "incident dick" is far from isolated.Variants: a naked type that goes in the field while the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro gives a press conference, a Mexican parliamentarian chest in the air (she wanted to change her blouse), an Irish parliamentarian who arrives in pants - and in shirt-to a meeting of a commission of the European Parliament (he arrived in the dare of a jogging).These cases, from people caught in flag, went around social networks, a good recall stitching (vigilance) for the Nobody which would be tempted by a complete relaxation.
Job, dodo, and ugly with that
Another cruel pitfall of life in Visio, the dirty mouth.The mask, at least, has the merit of hiding wrinkles and dark circles.There, they are in majesty, and can team up with a complexion of papier -mated apartment (which the winter season will accentuate): it is the warranty injury guaranteed, the double punishment even as the confinement is alreadySynonymous with riquiqui life and half -marale at half mast.Boulot, dodo, and ugly with that - and, obviously, not the budget to afford a facelift when this endless day has lived.
Suddenly, from the first confinement, the tool boxes have multiplied, advice and other tutorials abound to come out unscathed from zoom or teams. And the watchword is tech-ni-ci-té. In terms of makeup in particular, this a priori rescue buoy within everyone's reach. Yes but no, it is still necessary to apply it, say the famous make-up artists. Thus, the Beauty Test site warns us, watch out for the stolen car look, you have to have a light hand, especially when the meeting is pro. And if the concealer is "your best ally" and should see its sales fly away as the mascara during the generalization of the mask (+150% in April while the lipstick recorded a slap of -58%) still must -It to apply it well. "Put it right where there are redness, on the nose, the chin and the cheekbones, it is more than enough," says Patrick Lorentz, star make-up artist at Estée Lauder. And the site to specify: "Prefer a liquid texture with low to average coverage if you do not have dark circles and few imperfections. On the other hand, if you are in your menstrual period or you have acne tendency skin, with marked dark circles, opt for a more covering and occlusive texture. ”
We note that this last clarification excludes a priori men while, good news in terms of equity, the dirty mouth is shared and in fact the makeup is always more: according to the Headstyle site, online research relating toMale makeup would have jumped 80% last last April, due to the "zoom effect"."The male makeup has grown because even the most macho of us constantly post photos online," decrypts Joel Stein in the Los Angeles Magazine.
Colors, lights and sound
But makeup is not enough for the rescue, warn the experts who in the matter also swarm. Current woman, for example, points out the challenge of clothing - since the simplest device, no, is not visiocompatible, at least at work: "If you have a pale complexion, avoid for example black rolled -collar sweaters that accentuate the whiteness of your face. But no question either of putting a yellow t-shirt or a pastel pink shirt! These colors are often not suitable for clear dyes. Instead, bet on hot colors like camel for example, even downright flashy like poppy. ” And also be careful with the posture: "In order to avoid the double chin effect, always position your slightly height smartphone. Ditto for your laptop, try to raise it with books or magazines to refine your face! In any case, place your device at the right distance taking your tense arm as a landmark. ” The distancing, decidedly sesame of the time ... misery.
Wonderstream, a specialist, abounds: “The camera must be at the same height as your face.If you use a laptop, stack two dictionaries below, and voila.The cans or returned pots are completely validated because it is invisible to the image, so you have no more excuses.Is the webcam pinned on your screen?Take the selfie-stick bought on the life at the last vacation, or bring the halogen closer to the living room to clip the camera on the foot at the right height. ”
But all these ingenious tinkers will be spoiled if the light is not just as dosed: "The basic rule is not to turn your back to a light source: we ban the windows in the back and halogens in the bottom.We work out on the other hand to install a lamp in a radius also 80 cm by shifting it a little from the axis of your screen and webcam so as not to create a shadow. ”
This ball of the Enlightenment completed, the Stations of the Cross to ensure in Visio is not finished.Having a face also passes ... through sound ("stand out by better management of your audio").And there, surprise: the atrium is essential, even basic.“We are in 2020, and the vision of these white and earrier threads no longer shock anyone.It is the opposite: in the unconscious, we will rather associate this image with someone who seeks to isolate himself to gain concentration. ”I isolate yourself, and gain in performance, other sesames of the time ... Eh what?!Come on, smile, you're filmed!
