style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best room for headshot day is quiet, close to the photographer and big enough for a couple of chairs and a mirror. Good natural light helps, and so does a power point near the mirror for any tools the artists bring. Nobody has ever improved their headshot with a dash to the bathroom and a compact, so give the team a proper spot to get ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corporate_Headshot_Tips_Brief_the_Team_Early\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corporate Headshot Tips: Brief the Team Early<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Send a short note a week ahead with the date, the time slots and what to wear, plus a line about arriving with a clean face and normal skincare. People relax when they know what to expect, and a team that has read the brief arrives with the right clothes in the right colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decide_the_Order\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide the Order<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run the day in a loop: one person in the makeup chair, one in the hair chair and one in front of the camera, with the next person waiting. Put the people who are most nervous in the middle of the day, once the room has warmed up, and keep a floater slot for anyone who needs a second go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_for_the_Waiting_Room\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan for the Waiting Room<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A queue of people looking at their phones makes everyone more self-conscious, so give the waiting area something to do.

The slowest station sets the pace for the whole day, so work out each station separately and plan around the longest one. Ask your artists how many minutes each person needs for hair and for makeup, and ask your photographer how long each person needs in front of the camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Worked_Example\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Worked Example<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine 20 people, 20 minutes each for makeup, 10 minutes each for hair, two makeup artists and one hair stylist. Makeup takes 20 people \u00d7 20 minutes \u00f7 2 artists, which is 200 minutes, and hair takes 20 people \u00d7 10 minutes \u00f7 1 stylist, which is also 200 minutes. That&#8217;s about three hours and twenty minutes at each station, plus buffers.

A staggered schedule means the photographer is never waiting on a half-finished face, and the artists never stand around waiting for the previous person to come back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buffers_and_Touch-Ups\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buffers and Touch-Ups<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add a few minutes between slots for running over, and keep one artist near the photographer for touch-ups. A schedule with buffers survives the person who just needs one more shot, and a floating touch-up artist takes shine, flyaways and wrinkled collars off the table before they reach the camera. Headshot day runs for hours, so the prep in the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/how-to-make-makeup-last-all-day\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all-day makeup routine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a good one to borrow for anyone who wants their finish to last.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_for_Headshots_What_Looks_Good_on_Camera\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makeup for Headshots: What Looks Good on Camera<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makeup for headshots has one job: make the face look like the person on their best ordinary day, only a bit more even. The camera and the lights show up shine and patchy tone, plus tired eyes, so the makeup focuses on those.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_for_Headshots_The_Natural_Matte_Finish\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makeup for Headshots: The Natural, Matte Finish<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A matte, even finish photographs with less shine under studio lights, and the goal is skin that looks natural and not painted. On the day,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/services\/makeup\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a good makeup artist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> builds an even base, sets it so it doesn&#8217;t reflect the lights and checks the neck, so the face and neck match. Think of it this way: the best headshot makeup looks like you slept well, and the worst looks like you tried.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brows_Eyes_and_Lips_for_Camera\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brows, Eyes and Lips for Camera<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Defined brows frame the face, a soft eye shape stops the eyes disappearing under the lights and a lip color close to natural keeps the look professional. Soft browns and neutrals usually photograph well, and anything glittery or very shiny can bounce light and distract. The aim is a face people recognize, not a face that arrived from a different event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_for_Headshots_for_Every_Team_Member\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makeup for Headshots for Every Team Member<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every person on the team can have makeup, whatever they usually wear, and the look should match their style and skin tone. A consistent standard across the team means everyone looks well-lit and professional, even though no two faces are the same. Consistent doesn&#8217;t mean identical, it means the same level of polish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Skip\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Skip<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skip heavy contour, strong shimmer, trendy colors and anything that photographs differently from how it looks in the room. A look that works at a party can look odd on a profile page, so keep the look simple and let the person show through.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hair_for_Camera_Tidy_Consistent_and_Believable\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair for Camera: Tidy, Consistent and Believable<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair for camera should look like the person&#8217;s best normal hair, with the flyaways and the frizz tamed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flyaways_and_Frizz\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flyaways and Frizz<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studio lights show every stray hair, so a quick smooth with a light hold product makes a big difference. A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/services\/hair\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hair stylist on site<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can tidy a parting, tame a flyaway and fix a collar that has trapped half a ponytail, all in a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Style_It_the_Way_They_Wear_It\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style It the Way They Wear It<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand-new hairstyles on headshot day are a gamble, because the headshot will be on a profile for a year or two. Style hair the way the person wears it day to day, a bit neater, and avoid a cut or color change in the days before the shoot unless the person is happy with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Down_Up_or_Tied_Back\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Down, Up or Tied Back<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let each person choose the style they feel most like themselves in, whether that&#8217;s loose, tied back or pinned up, and keep it tidy. A consistent level of neatness across the team beats a consistent style, so the team page looks like one group and not like thirty separate photos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Wear_for_Corporate_Headshots\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Wear for Corporate Headshots<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to wear for corporate headshots is the question every team member will ask the organizer, so it helps to answer it in the brief.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Wear_for_Corporate_Headshots_Solid_Colors_and_Simple_Necklines\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Wear for Corporate Headshots: Solid Colors and Simple Necklines<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solid mid-tone colors usually photograph well, and simple necklines keep attention on the face. Busy patterns, tiny stripes and large logos can look distracting on camera, so ask people to leave them at home. A good rule is nothing with a logo, a stripe or a pun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consistent_but_Not_Identical\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistent but Not Identical<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a team, choose a color family, such as navy, charcoal, soft blue or a brand color, and let people pick their own piece within it. The headshots will look like they belong together on a team page, and nobody feels like they&#8217;re in a uniform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bring_Two_Options\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring Two Options<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask people to bring a second top or jacket, because a spare outfit solves the stain, the crease and the color that looked different in the room. It also gives the photographer a choice, and it takes the pressure off getting the first outfit right.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Details_Collars_Jewelry_and_Glasses\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Details: Collars, Jewelry and Glasses<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ironed collars, minimal jewelry and clean glasses make a visible difference. If someone wears glasses, ask the photographer about glare before the day, so the photographer can set up the angle and lights for it, and let that person bring a spare pair if they have one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prepare_for_Headshots_A_Briefing_for_Your_Team\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Prepare for Headshots: A Briefing for Your Team<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to prepare for headshots is simple when the organizer sends the right information, and a one-page brief saves a lot of questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_One-Page_Brief\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A One-Page Brief<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put the date, the time slot, the location, what to wear, what to bring and what to avoid on one page. Include a line about arriving with a clean face and normal skincare, and sticking to products people already use, so the artist can work with what they have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Night_Before\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Night Before<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask the team to choose their outfit the night before, iron it and put it somewhere they won&#8217;t forget it. A bit of planning the night before takes away the morning panic, and it keeps the day calm for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_the_Day\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the Day<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask people to arrive a few minutes before their slot, with their outfit ready, and to eat something beforehand. A relaxed person looks better on camera than a rushed one, and the artists can work faster when everyone turns up on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corporate_Headshot_Tips_The_Short_List\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corporate Headshot Tips: The Short List<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corporate headshot tips boil down to a handful of habits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick a quiet room with good light and a power point near the mirror.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brief the team a week ahead, with one page of instructions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overlap the stations so no one waits for a free chair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add buffers between slots, and keep one artist floating for touch-ups.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aim for a consistent standard of polish, not identical faces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose solid colors, simple necklines and nothing with a pun.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring a spare top or jacket for each person.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the waiting area comfortable, with water and something to do.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If headshot day doubles as a team day, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/unique-wellness-ideas-for-your-next-corporate-social-event\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wellness ideas for your next corporate social event<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a good place to look for what to do with the rest of the afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_the_Whole_Team_Camera-Ready_in_One_Place\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting the Whole Team Camera-Ready in One Place<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to get everyone camera-ready is to bring the artists to your office, so the team doesn&#8217;t have to travel, queue or take half a day off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_a_Local_Makeup_Artist_and_Hair_Stylist_Booked_Through_Blys_Do\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a Local Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Booked Through Blys Do<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local hair and makeup artists and stylists booked through Blys come to your office on the day, so the whole team is camera-ready in one place without leaving work. Blys is a booking platform: you send the details, local artists and stylists accept the booking and bookings run from 6 am to midnight, seven days a week. The artists and stylists are independent business owners who run their own work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hair_and_Makeup_for_Filming_and_Photoshoots\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair and Makeup for Filming and Photoshoots<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys also arranges<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/corporate-events\/filming-photoshoots\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hair and makeup for filming and photoshoot events<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which suits headshot days, brand shoots and team content. The same approach applies: the artists come to you, they work through the team in order and the photographer gets faces that are ready for the camera. Two ideas from shoot days carry over neatly. Book the artists for the room, not the person, so each face goes in front of the camera looking like it&#8217;s still the first one of the day, and have more than one artist on site, because it keeps the schedule honest. You can also book providers by the hour rather than the day where that suits the budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Put_in_Your_Event_Enquiry\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Put in Your Event Enquiry<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you send an event enquiry, include the date, the venue, the number of people and the hours the photographer is working. Add the room details (space, light and power), any color palette or brand look, whether you want makeup, hair or both and your estimated budget, so the plan fits your team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Enquiry_to_Headshot_Day_Three_Steps\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Enquiry to Headshot Day: Three Steps<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process has three steps. First, you tell Blys about your team size, the services you want and your estimated budget, and an account coordinator replies with a quote within 24 hours. Second, you place the booking, and it&#8217;s confirmed once an available provider accepts it, with no charge until it&#8217;s confirmed. Third, on the day, your artists and stylists arrive with time to set up and bring their own professional-grade equipment, so all you have to do is run the schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_the_Cost_First\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking the Cost First<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re budgeting,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/how-much-does-a-mobile-makeup-artist-cost\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile makeup artist costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are easy to compare before you decide. Mention the size of the team when you ask, so the quote matches the plan, and say whether you want hair as well as makeup, since the two together need more of the artists&#8217; time than makeup alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Send_an_Event_Enquiry_for_Headshot_Day_Through_Blys\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Send an Event Enquiry for Headshot Day Through Blys<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headshot day is easier when the artists come to you, and the first step is a short event enquiry with your date, team size and photographer&#8217;s hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve worked out your schedule, send the details to Blys, so the right local makeup artists and hair stylists can plan around your day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/events-enquiry\/?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=makeup-for-headshots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Send an Event Enquiry for Headshot Day \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These questions come up once you&#8217;ve confirmed the photographer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_the_artists_work_in_a_small_meeting_room\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can the artists work in a small meeting room?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually yes, as long as there&#8217;s space for a chair, a mirror and a table, plus a power point and decent light. Describe the room in your event enquiry, so the artists know what to bring and how to set up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_someone_doesnt_want_makeup\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if someone doesn&#8217;t want makeup?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makeup is a choice, so make it optional and keep the tone relaxed. Some people like a light touch for shine and tone, and others prefer to skip it, and either is fine as long as the photographer knows, so ask each person privately when they confirm their slot and keep the answers in your schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_the_artists_work_before_the_photographer_arrives\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should the artists work before the photographer arrives?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start the artists a little before the first photo slot, so the first person is ready when the camera is.
