I'm taking a photo for my work badge. I normally wear scrubs to work(I work in healthcare and in a hospital) and my locs are normally in a bun. I take really bad photos and I want to look like a baddie in my photo. Should I contour the hell out of my face lol.

I don’t have experience with looking good in work badge photos, but maybe this’ll help

I assume if you can look good for a drivers license then you’ll probably look good in work pics too lol

Let your locs hang and swoop across your face. Eyeliner and mascara. Lip shine (could just be Carmex or Vaseline, but press your lips together for a natural rosy tint).

I wish photos like that they allowed us to take ourselves and choose the one we want lol. My driver's license picture is beautiful. I'd use that picture for everything if I could.

Start practicing taking pictures of yourself so you can see what angles work for you. Also you can't go wrong wearing a little mascara and lip gloss. Do your eyebrows too and wear your hair down.

Elongate your neck forward and tilt your head to the side downwards
I went to a photographer and asked about elongating your neck and she said, no you just look silly. Got the pictures back and YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ElONGATE YOUR NECK FORWARD. I had to photoshop to death to get rid of double chin and just bad neck.

Follow your own instincts, these people don’t always know.

Practice your smile in the mirror. I had to take a work pic recently and I found that a half-smile works best for me. If I smile too much I look goofy and toothy and if I don't smile I look wierd - so a small smile came out the best.

Have a thin face. That doesn’t happen overnight but I find when my face is thinner, my face looks better in photos.

Make sure you have a good pressed powder. I dislike my current badge because I look shiny as hell—took it in August.

My license is super cute and I just did a really basic neutral face, just made sure to blot well right before I walked in. A nice pinky nude gloss is also very cute in license pics, I prefer it to matte finishes in that kind of lighting. Also sideswept hair and nicely laid edges.

forgot to add: fill in your brows lightly to frame your face. It’s not even a part of my daily routine (I just thread and keep it pushing) but even a light touch of brow mascara frames the face in a photo.

My badge looks so cute. I wore light neutral eyes, mascara, and a light pink lip. I contoured my face a little.
