• Upon booking, we will email you our Pre-Shoot pack, which contains all the information you need to make the most of your shoot day, including wardrobe, makeup, and hair tips. • Wardrobe: Bring outfits that flatter your skin tone and fit well. Solid colours work best—avoid busy patterns, logos, or anything too flashy. We suggest bringing more clothing than you need to give yourself a range of outfit choices. • Grooming: Keep your hair natural to how you’d typically wear it for auditions. If you style your hair differently often, consider bringing tools or products for quick adjustments. • Makeup: If you’re doing your own makeup, keep it light and natural. Avoid heavy foundation, overly bold eyeliner, or excessive contouring. A professional makeup artist can be booked if needed. • Skincare: Stay hydrated, moisturise, and avoid excessive sun exposure in the days leading up to your shoot. Get a good night’s sleep to reduce puffiness. • Mindset: Relax and come ready to have fun! We’ll guide you through posing and expressions to make sure you get shots that feel natural and true to you.

At Aperture Lounge, we have a hair & makeup station where you can bring your own makeup & tools to touch up your look throughout the shoot. We can also provide hair tools such as straighteners and curlers if needed.
