Dealing with facial hair on woman client
I'd try hiring a makeup artist...

I've never used a beauty dish before, would that really help in situation like this?
My Camera Bag:
Canon 7D | 50mm f/1.2 | 17-40mm f/4 | 70-200mm f/2.8 | 320EX | 580EXII
If she's happy with a beard, then go for it... I bet she'll whine though, she'll say something like "I don't really look like that."
Once we did a shoot for an event and a dude was doing portraits out the front (with a white background, studio strobes etc.). One (older) lady returned her complimentary photo saying: "I don't look like that". Ahhh yeh you do, it's just that the dude used a 100mm macro lens (super detailed and sharp) and it showed EVERYTHING.
I suggest some selective soft focus...

I would discuss this with the client; then, if she preferred not to have the facial hair, then I would consider some of the approaches previously mentioned. Although I haven't run into the facial hair situation, I have had some difficulties with hair extensions and weaves. When shooting close-ups, especially with a telephoto from across the room using a flash, it's amazing how the glue lines show up as distinctly "gray" on otherwise black hair! As someone once said. "...the camera don't lie..."
exactly, speak to the client and get their feedback on what they want Nikon Z6 | Nikon FM10 | Nikon D80 | Nikon 50mm f/1.8D | Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S VR | 35-105mm f/3.5 Macro | 80-200mm f/4.5 | SB600 | Pocket Wizard II

The Fujifilm XT5 is a 40MP mirrorless camera capable of 6.2K video at 30p. With those specs, it’s an ideal choice for photographers needing a camera to pull double duty for imaging and video.
The Canon EOS R100 is an entry-level mirrorless camera introduced in 2023. But just because it’s an entry-level camera doesn’t mean it’s a bare-bones camera. Find out why in this review!
