Can you wear makeup for a driving license photo?

I’m going to get my driver’s license tomorrow and was thinking about the photo. Is it okay to wear makeup in a driving license photo? Or should I go without?

You are allowed to wear makeup for your driving license photo. However, it’s recommended that you keep it simple so that your face is clearly recognizable when someone looks at your license.
Here are a few tips for taking the best driver’s license photo:
  • Don’t use makeup with glitter, as it can cause harsh reflections.
  • Use a natural tone of foundation and very subtle blush.
  • Avoid fake eyelashes and make sure your hair isn’t over your eyes during the photo.
  • Use a neutral tone of eyeshadow to add some definition without the color popping too much.
  • Right before your photo, blot away oil from your face without smudging your makeup to reduce that shiny look.
Once you’ve gotten your new license (with your awesome photo), why not look into getting new

What Others Are Asking

Where is the 2007 Saturn Aura fuel pump relay location?
My Saturn Aura has been great since I’ve owned it without any real problems. Fast-forward to today, and there seems to be an issue with the fuel pump since it suddenly won’t start. Where can I find the fuel pump relay on a 2007 Saturn Aura?

What does it mean when your car loan matures?
I received a note in the mail that says my car loan matures in six months. This is my first-ever car loan, and I have no idea what this means. Could you explain it? What does it mean for your car loan to mature?
