Centering the eye in the center of the frame is a recommended practice for cosmetics. Which option expresses this idea?

• A. Centering the eye in the center of the frame.
• B. Centering the eye toward the bottom edge.
• C. Centering the eye toward the top edge.
• D. Centering the frame on the temple.

Answer: (A)

Centering the eye in the center of the frame keeps the eye area as the focal point, which is crucial when showcasing makeup. This symmetrical placement ensures the iris, lid, and lashes receive consistent lighting and sharpness, making cosmetic details clearly visible and easy to compare across shots. If the eye is toward the bottom edge, the composition can feel off-balance and push makeup details away from the viewer’s primary line of sight; toward the top edge, upper features may crowd the frame and reduce visibility of the makeup. Framing the frame on the temple shifts attention away from the eye and undermines the intended focal point.
