Keep it simple and timeless

• Solid colors work best (avoid busy patterns, logos, or graphics)

• Choose mid-tone colors (jewel tones, earth tones, muted shades)

• Avoid pure white (too bright) and pure black (loses detail)

Fit is everything

• Wear well-fitted clothing (not too tight, not too loose)

• Make sure everything is clean and wrinkle-free

Necklines & layers

• V-necks or open collars help elongate the neck

• Collared shirts or blazers add a polished, professional look

• Layers (jackets, cardigans, blazers) add depth and variety

Keep accessories minimal

• Avoid large or distracting jewelry

• Simple and subtle is best

Bring options

• If possible, bring 2–3 outfit choices so we can pick what works best on camera

Aim for natural and polished

• Go for an even skin tone rather than heavy coverage

• Matte or semi-matte finishes reduce shine

Shine control

• Lightly powder the forehead, nose, and chin

Eyes & brows

• Neutral eye makeup works best

• Defined brows help frame your face

Lips

• Choose a natural shade slightly deeper than your usual lip color

• Avoid overly glossy finishes

Important note

• Avoid SPF-heavy products (they can cause flashback on camera)

Bring a touch-up kit

• Lipstick, powder, and blotting papers are helpful during the session

HAIR & GROOMING

• Style your hair the way you normally wear it

• Make sure hair is clean and neat

• If you’re getting a haircut, do it a few days before (not the same day)

For facial hair

• Clean shave or neatly trimmed—avoid in-between stages

Extra details

• Clean, natural nails

• Moisturized skin and lips

• Stay hydrated the day before
