Makeup Tips for Actor Headshot Sessions
Debating on whether or not you need your makeup done for those headshots? Make sure to communicate what you want your makeup to look like before a headshot session, and don’t be afraid to speak up if you aren’t comfortable with the way it looks. The more natural the look, the better—and that may mean no makeup at all!
