Hello,

I am (an actress) doing my own makeup for some color headshots that will be taken soon. I realize this isn't always recommended, but I only have enough $ to pay the photographer.

I know to look like my "natural" self, and avoid loud or heavy makeup.

BUT, Are there any other important, basic tips for doing makeup (and maybe hair?) for color headshots? (I can't afford to pay for a MUA or to mess this headshot session up

)


And to anyone who's ever professionally done people's head shot makeup: Is it true that contours& highlights are forbidden in headshots?? Can I do them lightly?

Thank you!!!!
