Benefits of professional make-up when taking your headshot

If you want your headshot to stand out, you may wish to consider using a professional makeup artist.

When my clients book a session with me, I always ask them if they would like me to help to arrange a make-up artist for them.

Having a professional makeup artist t on hand will not only make you look amazing , but also make you feel wonderful and as a result will give you a massive confidence boost which will shine through on every headshot.

While make-up is being applied you’ll get a chance to relax and get in the mood for your shoot. Many professionals that I work with will also give you advice on the best colours for your skin type and will adjust the make-up to the clothes that you are planning to wear.

Even very subtle make-up can make quite a big difference to the way you will look on the photograph. See some “Before and After” examples below.

Here is the list of make-up artists that I usually work with:

I can recommend the following makeup artists who would meet you about an hour prior to the shoot and help bring out your beauty. Prices for make-up start from £40 and are payable to the make-up artist directly. You can also arrange for your make-up to be done at their studios prior to coming to me.
