LOL!
Like Jessica said, with lighting you sometimes NEED makeup. I tend to over-expose to give myself "perfect" skin (due to some skin issues) so if I am NOT wearing a metric ass-ton of makeup, I look totally washed out and weird.
That said, it isn't a big deal for me - I just get up in the morning, walk the dog, have a shower, put on makeup, get on cam. My makeup takes about 5 minutes, my hair is just brushed, or dried and brushed if I washed it.
Things that I have found:
- Guys often like the "natural" look, even if it took you 20 mins and 5lbs of makeup to get it. "crazy" makeup doesn't get good feedback, but heavy makeup made to look "natural" is a big seller. That means contouring, brown eyeshadows, pink lips...
- Hair should be DOWN. I have super long hair, which has something to do with it, but whenever I have cammed with it up, I get less money, and more people saying "take our hair down". There is something about long, loose hair that just does it for them.
- Clothes should have some color. I usually (still) cam in a black tank top and panties because I am lazy as all get out, and I just strip off the unnecessary from my daily wear and go...but I make WAY more if I wear color. Every. Time. The only exception is my LBD - they love it. Clothes seem to matter more than makeup, really.
At the end of the day, I try to get that balance between effort and actual cam time. No point spending an hour on makeup if I only have 3 hrs to cam that day.....I try to keep it to around 30mins of prep to 5 hours cam time.
