Should I hire a Make-Up artist? For Headshots?

Neither of the above photos are retouched or edited in anyway.

Are you debating on whether or not you should investment in professional make-up application for your photo shoot? I hope this convinces you that it's a great investment...

• No stress about if your foundation is the right color, if your eyebrows are colored in enough, or even application. This gives you time to arrive as scheduled and stress free.
• Not all make-up is created the same. Your $7.99 drugstore foundation may not photograph well or provide enough coverage for your skin tone and type. Having access to the best make-up money can buy is guaranteed when you hire a pro. 
• Learn what best works for you, from someone trained to make you look your best. Hiring a pro is also giving you access to all the knowledge she has! Learning new things about how to amp up your routine is just one of the perks of hiring a Make-up artist!
• You still have creative control, but now with professional execution. Have you always wanted to try a dramatic cat eye but you just can seem to get them to match? This is great way to try make-up styles you don't feel confident to try yourself simply based on how well you can apply. And if you don't like it, you can try something else! 

I can't think of a time when a Make-Up artist was hired as part of a headshot photo shoot and my client wasn't really happy with the end result. Having a personal touch in the studio while feeling pampered and special is just a small perk of the service!
