Frequently Asked Questions

We aim to tailor our makeover photoshoot packages to clients needs. Because everyone has different needs and requirements from the professional team at Makeover Studio London, we thought it best to compile a list of frequently asked questions.

Of course, if you have a question which isn’t answered here, or you just want to chat to one of the team, you can always call the Makeover Studios London team on 020 7388 5757.

Q) How long does the session last for?

A) Your day at the studio lasts approximatly 4-5 hours. It’s tricky to be exact as we want to tailor every package to the client and some people’s needs may take a little more time to fulfil. Whatever the specific length of time of your package, it will include your professional makeup being applied, hair styled, a photoshoot and the viewing session.
Makeover London Studios is considered one of London’s most fashionable photographic and makeover studios. As a result, we also cater to groups too so if you are coming with a guest(s), time will be extended.

Q) Do I need to bring anything?

A) When you make your booking you will be sent details on what you need to bring. Clothes are not provided at the studio and you will need to bring your own selection.
This gives you more comfort in clothing and results in a more relaxed photoshoot. We also recommend you bring accessories, jewellery and appropriate footwear.
Of course, you can always give us a call to run your ideas through with one of the team.

Q) Can I have a photo with my friend?

Q) Do I wear make-up to the studio before my photoshoot?

A) We recommend you not to wear any make-up or keep it very minimal. When you arrive at the studio our makeup artist will be applying professional makeup. A clean face is best to apply makeup as it can help create a flawless finish.

We also recommend you not to put any product on your hair and to wash 1 day prior to redeeming your makeover photoshoot package. Your hair will be dry-styled only (you don’t need to worry about it being cut).

Q) Will I receive help in posing in front of camera?

A) One of the reasons why Makeover Studios London exists is to offer anyone the opportunity to be a celebrity for a day. As a result, we have hand-picked a team of professional photographers who are skilled at making everyone feel comfortable on set. They will direct you on how to pose, from the kind of expression you give to how you can relax your fingers. No matter how you feel beforehand, many clients say that their photoshoot was the best part of their day with us.

A) Yes, absolutely. We strongly advise you to bring your own make-up and skincare products if you feel you may suffer an allergic reaction to other cosmetics.

Our make-up artists only use hypo-allergenic makeup and will disinfect prior to applying your make-up. If you have any allergies please mention this to the make-up artist during your personal consultation.

You will also need to bring any skincare products if you have allergies.

“Being an actor means I need to get new headshots taken every few months. I was bored of the same style pictures all the time and then found Makeover Studio. I had my first set of pictures taken last month and they were perfect. The photographers really knew what they were doing and made me feel confident that I’d get the best shots. I will always go back to Lovin Studios now as the shots from my last shoot there landed me in a short film role. Thanks guys for the great work and I’ll be back soon to get my next lot of photos.”
