Your appearance and photos is one of the first things recruiters will notice. If not one of the most important things they look for.  You should aim for a professional, polished and airline appropriate appearance.

Makeup

Keep your makeup fresh, neat and elegant rather than too dramatic. A good tip is to check IG/TikTok and look at current cabin crew members. Notice how they wear their makeup and use this as inspiration for your own look. Remember, recruiters are looking at you and thinking: Could she represent our airline? Your makeup should look professional, polished and suitable for the airline’s image.

Examples:
