-Keep your hairstyle classic for school photos. Just try a simple blowdry with a slightly off center part. You'll regret anything complicated or super-trendy in a few years.
-I suggest leaving your hair down, or putting it half up/half down. Sometimes having your hair back in a tight bun or ponytail can make you look bald in photos!
-Wavy hair is actually a lot more photogenic on most people than stick straight hair, so keep that in mind when styling!
-Use a bit of cream or de-frizzer in your hair so it is smooth and healthy looking.
CLOTHES
-Wear a color that is flattering on you- or something that brings out your eyes and looks good with your skintone.
-Avoid loud colors and patterns.
-Make sure whatever you wear won't clash with the background of the photograph!
MAKEUP
-Do your makeup the way you usually do- your school photo is supposed to look like YOU!
-Apply a little extra bronzer- flash cameras can usually make you look washed out.
-Today isn't the day to skimp on concealer or foundation! Make sure your blemished and undereye circles and concealed so your skin looks as flawless as possible in the picture.
-Don't go overboard on eye makeup. This isn't the time for bright colors. Do a neutral eyeshadow (nothing dark, but a light shadow will make you look awake and is always flattering), some mascara, and maybe a bit of eyeliner to define your eyes. A little blush is nice too, to give you a healthy glow.
-Leave your lips natural with just a little balm or gloss. You'll regret doing a wild lip color.
SMILE
-Bring a travel toothbrush or some dental floss with you to school- you want to make sure you don't have anything in your teeth!
-Optional: Use teeth whitening strips or paste leading up to picture day. That way, you'll have an extra pearly grin!
-Rather than trying to look a certain way in your photos (serious, cool, smart, etc.), just muster a relaxed and genuine smile. Laugh slightly, or open your mouth a little bit so get a flattering smile.
-If you always blink in photos, ask the photographer to count to three before they take the picture. Then, you can blink on "two" and be wide eyed for the capture.
Most importantly, just BE YOURSELF. Pictures always turn out the best when you don't try to hard and just keep it natural.
