What are your best tips to look your best on Zoom calls (or other video calls)? Do you do your makeup differently? How often do you these calls for work, and what do you do to look your best?
Here are some of my top tips, but I’d love to hear yours…
How to Look Your Best on Zoom Calls
Think about lighting. If possible have a window or ring light behind the screen like this one.
Ditch your blue light glasses or transitional glasses. Maybe this is a me thing, but I think glasses that are slightly tinted look horrible on Zoom calls. If you have an old pair that is not blue light, put those near your monitor and switch to them before you start your call. This depends on your prescription, of course, but for me personally if I’m not walking anywhere then a slightly older prescription probably doesn’t matter. (I’m, uh, unfortunately at that age where I have to take off my glasses to read anyway, so, yay.) Another option: get a cheap pair at a spot like Zenni.
Turn on a filter. Don’t feel silly about turning on one of the very slight beauty filters that Zoom offers — one of the mildest ones is “touch up my appearance.”
Think about the goals for any workplace makeup — you want to look awake and interested, as well as physically healthy. A lot of this comes down to your skincare — make sure you moisturize that day. A good concealer can go a long way, even for touchups — such as this eye highlighter or this eye brightener.
Consider special makeup for Zoom. There are a few differences for Zoom calls — you want your skin to look blurred rather than matte, for example. I would argue that you should assess how your eyebrows and lips look on Zoom — a lot of times they need to be darker!
