Makeup:
Oily skin, especially on your face really is the enemy, oil will show up as unattractive shiny spots on your face in a photo, ( especially on your forehead). Choose a foundation makeup that doesn’t have oil in it. Also don't use makeup with spf protection in it for your session. SPF in makeup has a reflective quality, i.e. it looks shiny in photos. If you do have oily skin, refresh your makeup with translucent powder during the shoot. Men can also combat oily face with face blotters--for the ladies face blotters work while keeping makeup intact.
Use new mascara so you don’t have clumps, close up photos will show. Neutral eye colors, such as grays and browns are best. Avoid pastel shades and especially highly frosted shadows. Also stay away from eye shadows, lotions, blush anything with glitter in it.
Highly frosted eyeshadow or lotion with glitter will show up as tiny white spots on your eyes.
Chapped or cracked lips are going to show in your portraits.
Moisturize your lips BEFORE your session, and avoid super glossy lipstick or lip gloss because again they make huge white spots from the shine on your lips wherever the light hits it.
