Do something simple and easy. Maybe a little mascara and a little eye liner, and then some lip gloss.Black and white portrait makeup tips?
put on more mascara and eyeliner than usual, black is your best bet. then make sure your skin looks like perfect cause it really shows in black and white picture so you could use a foundation. then any lipgloss! hope i helped :)
Skip any super dark or black makeup, like heavy eyeliner or shadow. I think sweeping some gray shadow or maybe even purple (so it will show up as a shade of gray) on your lids would look nice. Try a lip gloss or lipstick that has brownish tones, not an extreme color but something that looks only a few shades darker than your natural lip color. This will make sure that your lips are noticeable and pretty, without looking overdone and hooker-ish.
do a smokey eye it simple but still classic

Use darker than usual lipstick. Wear mascara and black eye-liner. I'd stop there since you normally don't wear make-up.
As the photograph will be done in black and white, the color of your makeup will be irrelevant. The tone (lightness or darkness) of your makeup is the only thing of importance.





Oddly enough, if you want to go for a natural look, your best bet is to get your photograph taken wearing no makeup at all, except for perhaps some foundation, loose setting powder and mascara. From that starting point, any good editor can alter hues, tones, and shading to give your face just the right amount of makeup. There are a lot of great editors on Yahoo Answers, and even your photographer may be able to suggest an editor for you.





If you'd like an example of what someone like that can do, post a photograph link as added details to your question or e-mail me a link through my Yahoo Answers account, and I'd be more than happy to help you out.
