Photo #5:
Glamour girl
Select clothing that has a glamorous look such as a satin blouse. Add diamond-like or jewel earrings that aren’t too large or shiny. Don’t allow what you wear to overpower you. Hair should be full and shiny. Adding soft, simmering hair light is a good idea and employing “movie star” or butterfly-type lighting is also advisable. Makeup should look glamorous but not overdone. Lips should be full, shiny, and sexy. Cheeks should be defined. Avoid heavy eye makeup.
Sexy Man
Select clothing that has a glamorous look. Don’t allow what you wear to overpower you. This is a more mature look, maybe do open shirt look.

Photo #6:
Young mother
For a headshot, select a subtle floral print or soft pastel cotton blouse (possibly with a small ruffle at the neck) or a soft-fabric, pastel-colored sweater with a round neck. Avoid jewelry. For makeup use a very soft touch with a young-looking, slightly pinkish cheeks and natural-looking lips (use just a touch of gloss-no dark, light or frosted colors). Define eye crease with soft brown eye shadow and use a touch of mascara. Soft shiny hair that waves attractively around the face is usually the best. Avoid fashion-conscious hairstyles, teasing, hairspray molded, or overly short or long styles

Young husband or father
A plaid shirt, plain sweater, or conservative sports jacket worn with an open-collar oxford shirt can work well for a headshot. Use only powder to hide shine. Hair should be conservative, for example, side parted and average length with a slight wave.


Photo #7
Cosmetic Model (female)
Select clothing that is fashion conscious but not too extreme. Choose a flattering color or tone and neckline, for example, an attractive silk blouse or shirt. Pearl studs or small diamond, gold or silver earrings are best. Use a style of makeup that best expresses your looks. For example, think of the cosmetic companies you would like to work for- do you have a young Bonne Bell look, a fresh all-American Cover Girl look, or a sophisticated Marcella Borghese look? Look at the models representing these companies and copy their clothing and makeup styles. Beware of using a lot of makeup. You want your flawless skin texture, beautiful features, and thick, shiny hair to show through.

Handsome man
This model is often selected from the fashion model category and can be found in a variety of television commercials and print ads. There are basically two variations of “handsome men” types: one is the rugged, athletic type and the other is the male equivalent of the cosmetic model, who is good-looking, masculine, sexy and romantic. Select clothing that suits the type you are. If you are the rugged, macho type, select a sports jacket and open-collared shirt. An attractive smile, slightly ruffled hair, and a sexy expression in the eyes are most important. If you are the cosmetic type, select an elegant-looking suit, shirt, and tie. Glamorous lighting with soft hair light will give an attractive look. Look for clothing, hair, and makeup ideas by studying the male models in ads for grooming supplies manufactured by cosmetic companies.


Photo #8:
Businesswomen
Select a business suit, an attractive blouse, and subdued jewelry. Opt for a conservative but contemporary hairstyle. Natural tones are best for makeup. Avoid anything overly sexy or glamorous. You’ll want to look professional and successful.

Businessman
Select a gray or dark business suit and a light blue shirt and subtle print tie. A conservative, side-parted hairstyle with a clean-shaven face is preferred.
