Photo Studio FAQ > Hair, Makeup, Glasses > How should I do my make-up?
As a general rule, monochromatic (sepiatone, black and white) photography is different than color. With color photography, wear natural day makeup. For black and white or browntone photography, everything will be in shades of gray or brown, so plan as if you were going out for the evening: a little heavier than your normal day makeup. Even for those who don’t wear makeup, we recommend lipstick or mascara for definition. Wear bare or light colored nail polish; in black & white photography red nails will look black.
