There’s Nothing Worse Than Having To Take A Photo For Your Passport, And Here’s How You Can Do Your Makeup To Have It Looking Like A Professional Headshot
I know I’m not the only person out there who can’t stand to look at their I.D. or passport photo. It can be so hard to take a nice picture under the harsh fluorescent lighting of the DMV, especially after waiting around for hours.
One TikTok user has gone viral after coming up with a makeup technique that is sure to make your next I.D. photo look like a professional headshot.
Georgia Barratt (@georgia.barratt) started the ‘passport makeup’ trend after posting a video of her passport photo, in which she looks absolutely stunning.
Her video received thousands of comments from other TikTok users asking her to post a makeup tutorial for that specific look. Once she did, lots of people tried it for their own passports and driver’s license pictures.
Here’s how Georgia created the fabulous makeup look for her viral photo!
Georgia begins by using an eyebrow gel to comb through her eyebrows and get them looking nice and lifted. Once her brows are brushed through, she applies a hydrating primer to her skin so her face has a nice glow.
She then applies foundation all over her face and concealer around her eyes. The next step, which she says is important, is to take a lighter concealer shade and apply it under the eyebrows to create a highlight and make them look more symmetrical.
For her picture, Georgia focused intensely on contouring.
“This look is all about the contouring that I did,” she says in her tutorial.

Using a bronzer, she contours around her temples, her cheekbones, under her chin towards her jawline, the tip of her nose, and around the creases of her eyes. To highlight what she just contoured, Georgia applies a light concealer to the inner corners of her eyes, the sides of her eyes, her cheekbones, and the middle of her forehead.
She then applies a small amount of blush at a very high point on each of her cheeks. All of this meticulous contouring makes for a beautifully lifted face.
Georgia then uses multiple face powders to set the makeup. She applies powder with a beauty blender under her eyes, uses a skin-toned powder around her cheeks, and then uses a translucent powder to “bake” the contour around her eyes and nose.
Next up is eyeliner! To create a “fox eye” look, Georgia uses black eyeliner to create a smooth wing on the ends of her eyelids.
She then lightly lines the inner corners of her eyes without dragging the eyeliner all the way across. Then, she curls her lashes and applies some mascara, focusing mainly on the outer corners.
After using an eyebrow pencil to sculpt her brows a bit more, she uses a lipliner to heavily line her lips. Finally, she applies a nude lip gloss. And that’s it!
“I felt so confident after this!” wrote TikTok creator @maj.beauty after following Georgia’s tutorial.
Whether you have to take a new I.D. photo soon or if you’re looking for a new makeup look in general, passport makeup might just be the way to go!
