Can the ID photo be retouched with makeup?

1. For strict photos, such as ID cards, visas and other ID photos, try not to use makeup as much as possible. You can also wear very light makeup without changing the facial features, but you must not retouch the facial features.

2. Appropriate makeup and reasonable modifications can be used to increase the beauty of the employment certificate used by the unit and other loose photos.

Makeup tips for ID photos:

1. Transparent makeup

If your face is dark yellow or your skin tone is uneven, there is no need to take ID photos with a beauty camera , you need to do a good base makeup to be more photogenic. (Ps. Some conscientious photographers will help you adjust the light and retouch the picture later)

2. Natural eyebrows

For the eyebrows in the ID photo, it is recommended to be natural. Don't draw your eyebrows too exaggeratedly, as it will change the entire facial features. Because the eyebrow marks are too heavy, if you take a serious ID photo like an ID card, you may be pulled to remove your eyebrows.

In contrast, root-shaped eyebrows with clearer roots will be more natural. Generally, after trimming the basic eyebrow shape, you can just fill in the gaps in the eyebrows. The color of the eyebrow pencil is recommended to be close to your own eyebrow color. In addition, it is not recommended to dye your eyebrows when taking ID photos.

3. Inner eyeliner

Outer eyeliner is to draw eyeliner along the eyelids to give a makeup look. The inner eyeliner is filled along the roots of the eyelashes, without makeup, but it can make the eyes more lively. Therefore, when taking ID photos, in order to avoid too heavy makeup, just draw an inner eyeliner.

4. Long and curled eyelashes

Curling eyelashes, then applying false eyelashes, and finally applying mascara will make your eyes look bigger and brighter. However, false eyelashes are not natural enough and the makeup is too heavy, so they are generally not used for ID photos. Clamping your eyes slightly and applying long and slim mascara can also make your eyes look better. In addition, it is important to emphasize that the mascara should not be applied too thick, otherwise it will be easy to catch flies' legs. You must avoid taking ID photos.

5. Nude lipstick

Don’t have black or purple lipstick, it will affect your original complexion. Lip makeup is actually very simple. Just choose a nude color. It is so light that it doesn’t look like it, but it can show your complexion. This is the nude lipstick we pursue. But be sure not to choose lipsticks that have a jelly feel or a pearlescent finish.

Notes on taking ID photos:

1. First, make it clear to the photographer what ID photo you want, including the size. Size, number of photos, background color of the photos, specific purpose, and production method (does the photo have to be developed or can it be printed normally?). Of course you also have to ask when you can get the photos you want.

2. Neat hairstyle is very important. Men’s beards should be cleanly shaved, and those with beards should trim their beards neatly. Women should have some simple makeup. No shine on face.

3. Clothing should be as crisp as possible without obvious wrinkles.

4. Be energetic when taking photos.

5. Don’t be nervous when taking pictures. Nowadays, most people use digital cameras, so don’t worry about your poor expressions and wasting the photographer’s film.
