If you've always hated your passport photos, don't worry—you're not alone. It's hard to look good in these identification pictures (after all, the DFA counter isn't a photo studio.) But, all hope is not lost.
On TikTok, Filipino netizens (including celebs like Chie Filomeno) have been ~flexing~ their passport makeup looks and how they achieved them. And we must say, they look great! Here are some of the best tips we learned from these TikTokers (remember, the goal is to keep your makeup as natural-looking as possible. At the end of the day, you still want to look like yourself):
Skip foundation! Use a skin tint to even out your complexion instead.

Tightline your eyes with a brown eyeliner instead of drawing a winged liner for a more natural look.
This makeup trick will make you look more ~awake~ and your lashes will appear fuller, too.
For her passport photo, TikTok user @chachaboom_ particularly used a brow pencil "para 'pag pinabura madali tanggalin kaysa sa eyeliner."

Apply bronzer to your lids.
The flash of the camera can wash out your features so contouring is key. Don't forget to add a wash of bronzer to your lids, which can also help define your eyes.
