Looking Your Best On Camera!

WARDROBE:
If you will be speaking on camera, please wear a shirt or blouse with a collar, or a jacket with a lapel; we may clip on a little microphone there. If you will be standing or walking on camera, please wear slacks or a skirt with a waistband or a belt; the other end of the microphone has a little power supply that attaches to a waistband or belt.

CLOTHING COLORS:
Avoid vivid colors. Bright reds, greens, orange and blue may not look good on final video or DVD. Softer, muted colors are the best colors to wear. Other good clothing colors include tan, gray, light brown, muted teal, muted green and muted blue. Avoid white, red and orange clothing or bright colors close to these. Solid colors are best. Avoid fine checkers, stripes, herringbone and similar patterns. Avoid very glossy, sequined or metallic clothing. Also, avoid clinging attire or low-cut necklines.

GLASSES: Please avoid photo-sensitive glasses. They look like sunglasses under lights.

MAKEUP: Use very sparingly in all areas unless directed otherwise.

EYES: Eyeliner and mascara are okay if used lightly. Eye shadow should be avoided, especially dark colors or vibrant blues.

FACE: Use powder that closely matches your skin coloring. Be extremely cautious with rouge because normal shades of rouge will stand out garishly on video

LIPS: Use lighter color lipstick. Stay away from deep reds and extremely glossy types. If you have questions about wardrobe or makeup, bring several options.
