For the online e-Visa, a headscarf is technically not mandatory for non-Iranian women.

For Iranian citizens, the hijab is mandatory in all passport photos.

Natural makeup is allowed, but avoid heavy contouring, dramatic cat-eye liner, or bright lipsticks that significantly change your appearance. For jewelry, small studs are usually fine, but large, dangling earrings or facial piercings that cause glare or distract from your features should be removed to avoid rejection.

The most common hidden reason for rejection is lighting or shadows. If one side of your face is darker than the other, or if there is a shadow on the wall behind you, the automated biometric systems may fail to read your facial landmarks, which may lead to instant rejection.
