Hair & Make-Up: If you wear makeup for going out or on-stage, then this is also the time to look your best under studio lighting!
How To Prepare
Don’ts:
Styling: Tight patterns/stripes on clothing generally don’t render well on video and can cause moiré (pattern distortion/warping), so they should be avoided for video recordings.
