Is it okay for an actor to wear colored contact lenses daily?
I know it's okay to wear wigs but I wonder about color lenses. Let's say I have dark brown eyes and wear very natural hazel contacts daily. Is it okay to take headshots and present myself wearing them? Would they dislike it if they found out later on or something? Or should I just wear clear lenses. I feel like it's not really a problem but it could be idk what do you think?

Your headshots need to be YOU - no wigs or lenses. Eye colour very rarely matters anyway, but wearing anything fake isn't a good idea. Ask your agent's advice if you're unsure.

Indeed check with a good agent before investing in headshots.
