Do I Need Makeup for my Headshot Session?

It makes no difference if you need acting headshots or professional headshots. Either way, you are having your headshots created to market yourself. Think of all the places you are going to use these images. Your social media, your personal or company’s website, email, print marketing and articles written about you and your business card.

If you want to look your best for your headshot, makeup can make a big difference in improving the professional look of your portrait while retaining your authenticity and personality. Makeup well applied looks natural and indiscernible.

If you answer yes to any of these statements below you need to have your hair and makeup professionally done before your headshot session.

  • I’m really not comfortable wearing makeup, but I want to look my best.

  • I usually do wear makeup, but I don’t think I apply it correctly.

  • I don’t necessarily want to look younger, but I definitely don’t want to look older.

  • I have some blemishes/imperfections that I’d like to minimize.

  • I have a specific look I want to portray in my headshot.

Professional hair and makeup can really ramp up your look and ensure you get the best possible professional portrait for LinkedIn profile picture.

As part of my studio service, hair and makeup are available on your request.
