Your Headshot- Tips for WomenÂ
-
Clothing
Make sure to wear clothing that is simple without loud patterns. Basically, you want it to not be a distraction. Wear something that your friends say you look good in. Remember- this is a headshot and not a fashion shoot. Feel free to bring multiple changes of clothes. It’s best to have options!

Make-up
I’ve posted some videos below that give some good tips on how to get the best look for your skin type. If you would like a professional makeup artist, let me know and we can get it arranged. Don’t overdue your eyebrows and for the best look, use glossy lipstick instead of matte.
-
Hair
Like clothing, you want your hair done in a way that really compliments your face and is easy to work with. Feel free to bring in products if we need to make any adjustments to it.

Eyebrows
Don’t pluck your eyebrows right before your shoot. It tends to leave a red mark for a while and it makes it difficult to clean up in post-processing. Also, it’s not a good idea to pencil them in- leave them as natural as possible.
-
Teeth
This one is pretty obvious. Don’t drink something right before that can stain your teeth. If you would like to use a whitening product, I recommend Sheer White. I get it from my dentist. Leave the red wine for after the shoot!

Your Skin
Hydration is key to healthy skin. Also, plenty of rest can make you look your best, so try to get a great night's sleep the night before.
Here's a couple of great videos to give you a head start!
