I'm going to get my permit on Thursday and need to know any cute makeup hair and outfit ideas that would look good on camera? I was planning on wearing high waisted jeans and a crop top but not sure. Any ideas?

Well, you'll only see from your shoulders up haha, so not much of your outfit will be shown. Keep it light, and matte! I wore lots mascara, an inner corner highlight and nude eyeliner on the waterline to open up my eyes, and a coral lip color. also my hair was just curled lol

The bottom half of your outfit don't really matter so wear whatever you want:) As for makeup go for your everyday basic look and also take pressed powder with you when you leave because if your DMV is anything like where I live you can be waiting a long time, which can cause your face to get oily looking after a while! Wear your hair down? curled or straight whatever you prefer and wear a cute t-shirt on top :) Sorry my suggestions aren't specific but hopefully it helps a bit.

I would focus more on studying then makeup lol. I was so nervous the day I was going to take my test I really didn't care shah my makeup looked like lol.. Try something light and easy tho. No one really even cares what you look like in your permit pic.

I have no actual suggestions, but if you have bangs make sure they're away from your eyebrows, since eyebrows have to be shown, and apparently glasses aren't allowed anymore...

Your outfit doesn't really matter but I would recommend something with a collar otherwise it looks like you have no neck.
For makeup keep it simple and don't wear anything with spf. And if you have hd makeup then use it.
Also you have to put your hair behind your shoulders so don't do anything fancy, and maybe just braid it or put it in a pony tail.

I wish I had my license on me so I could show you, my picture looked bomb ;)

Use a solid coloured simple shirt, as some prints come off weird on camera. Use your regular foundation, but avoid blush as it comes off muddy in black and white photos. Use a lighter concealer to highlight under the eyes, the forehead, the center of the nose and center of the chin. Highlighting all around instead of just under your eyes will avoid the super bright distracting under eyes where you can just tell someone's using concealer! If you like, do a light contour on your nose and cheekbones to avoid looking flat. Do your brows of course
To frame the rest of your face! As for eyes, avoid any eyeliner underneath because it can close them off. I prefer a black winged liner to bring attention to my eyes but keep them open! I also wore natural false lashes and under eye mascara but of course it's what you're comfortable! These are just tips that worked for me

Most backgrounds are light blue, so I would recommend wearing something sort of light.
