KINKAY/English/Headshots & portraits

Makeup for headshots and portraits

A headshot is looked at from thirty centimetres on a phone screen. That is a completely different problem from an evening look, and it is where most event makeup falls apart.

How much is business headshot makeup in Ho Chi Minh City?

At KINKAY, makeup and hair is 1,800,000 VND per person, 45 to 60 minutes, at your office or the studio. Kay has worked backstage at Miss Cosmo International, Miss Grand Vietnam and Hoa Hậu Việt Nam, and on runway shows for Đỗ Long and Adrian Anh Tuấn.

It is priced per head with no cap on the headcount, so a team of ten is 18,000,000 VND. Men’s makeup and hair is 1,200,000 VND. Where an artist stays on set all day for personal branding or a long shoot, add 3,500,000 VND.

KINKAY can put up to four makeup artists and two hair stylists on one booking, so a whole floor is photographed inside one call time. Travel inside the city is included, and company bookings receive a payment receipt with the session details and the amount.

The problem

A lens at one metre sees everything

Event makeup is built for distance and low light. A headshot is the opposite: a sharp lens close to the face, even light, and an image that will be retouched afterwards and then looked at on a phone.

What Kay takes

The shoots this covers

One person

LinkedIn, company website, speaker profile, press. One look, camera-ready, at your office or the photographer's studio. Forty-five to sixty minutes.

1,800,000 VND

A team

The same rate for everyone, with no cap on the headcount. Ten people is 18,000,000 VND. Up to four makeup artists and two hair stylists on one booking, so a whole floor is photographed inside one call time.

1,800,000 VND each

Men's makeup and hair

Light makeup and hair, camera-ready: shine control, redness, brows tidied so the camera does not exaggerate them. Nothing that reads as heavy makeup in the final image.

1,200,000 VND

Personal branding

Several looks across a day — founders, coaches, consultants. An artist stays on set and changes the look between setups. Added to the makeup, not instead of it.

+ 3,500,000 VND

Family and anniversary portraits

Anniversary portraits and family sittings. Makeup for the mother and daughters, styled to sit together in one frame. For an áo dài session with a photographer, see the street áo dài photoshoot.

Travel inside Ho Chi Minh City is included. Teams are priced per head at the same rate, with no cap on the headcount — send the number of people and the call time and KINKAY sizes the crew to it rather than queueing everyone through one chair. Kay works alongside the photographer and studio you have already booked; tell her who they are and she will coordinate the schedule directly.
