Everyone knows that sometimes getting passport photos taken can be tricky – it seems like there is an endless list of requirements to ensure that your picture gets approved. This can prove frustrating and end up wasting a lot of time when after waiting for weeks your passport picture is simply rejected. In some instances, this can be a serious issue, when quick passport photos are required in order to get a passport sent quickly prior to going abroad.
One query a lot of women have is whether or not it’s OK to wear makeup when getting a passport photo taken. The rules set by Her Majesty’s Passport Office are quite strict, but the good news is that there is an allowance for makeup in a passport picture. This is of course only so long as the makeup is subtle and does not drastically change an individual’s appearance.
If you normally wear makeup, make sure that you put on the same amount you would usually so that you are easily recognisable when going through security checks. For example, if you are not someone who would usually wear a bright lipstick colour, or add false eyelashes, don’t then change your look when you are getting your photograph taken. Passport photo requirements also state that your picture should represent your ‘normal skin tone’, so best not to go too heavy with foundation or any wild costume makeup! Other than this, there should not be any issues for anyone who has chosen to wear makeup in their passport photo. we show you some tips and tricks for achieving flawless natural makeup, please this tutorial video. ” Real Passport Makeup”
