Daytime eye makeup

 

The daytime eye makeup will be light, soft and refreshing.

hqdefault-3

Most of the time we are using neutral colours like beige, cream, champagne, grey and brown.

Use just a touch of makeup on your eyes.

You don’t want to be over the top. Its just a simple daytime look.

Use matte colours they look more settled than the shiny ones.

Keep it soft and simple

Don’t forget the less is always more!

If you want to go with just a bit of makeup you can:

-apply a base colour on your eyelid – cream or beige and apply one layer of mascara

-for a bit of a different appearance apply a base colour on your eye lid and a dark brown colour close to your lash line it will look like you have an eye liner but at the same time it will look very soft

– in case you lie to experiment with different application techniques do the following :

apply a base colour on your eye lid – beige colour

take a middle brown eyeshadow and define your crease line

take a darker brown and apply a thin line close to your lash line

apply two layers of mascara

These are simple tips to make your eyes look fresh and pretty.

 

Good luck with experimenting and keep practicing

See you all tomorrow as we talk about the importance of blusher.

 

 

Daytime Skin look

Performing a Morning Skin Routine

Wash your face. For the health of your skin and the sake of longer lasting makeup, start each morning by washing your face.[1] Be sure to use a gentle cream or gel cleanser designed for the face.

  • Massage the cleanser into your skin for about 30 seconds, using a circular motion,[2] and rinse well using lukewarm water. Gently pat your face dry with a soft towel to remove most, but not all, of the moisture.

Moisturize your skin. To give your makeup a soft, smooth surface over which to be applied, make sure your face is moisturized. You can use toners, serums, eye creams, or just a basic moisturizing facial lotion. Be sure to apply it when your skin is still slightly damp.

  • To prevent dryness, moisturize your face after every time you wash it.

Apply sunscreen. This is especially important in the summer months, but you should actually wear sunscreen year-round.[3] Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, and apply it liberally to your face, neck, and ears.

  • Sunscreen and proper sun-protection habits will help protect your skin from skin cancer, freckles, wrinkles, and premature aging.

Put on a thin base of primer. Basic daytime makeup can be as simple and easy as applying a little foundation, concealer, and blush, or it can be as complicated as doing your eyes, lips, and brows as well. Primer isn’t strictly necessary, but it will help make your cosmetics last longer if you plan to wear more than just basic daytime makeup.

  • The purpose of primer is to give your makeup something to stick to, fill in small wrinkles and creases, and control oil.[4]
  • To apply primer, put a small amount onto your index finger and gently rub a thin layer all over your face.[5]

Apply a foundation. Use a lightweight foundation that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. Use your finger or a sponge to apply a thin layer all over your face.[6] Foundation will help even out your skin tone, create a smooth surface, and cover discoloration,[7] and because it serves such a similar purpose to primer, the primer isn’t always necessary.

  • Go for a matte or oil-free finish if you have oily skin, try a moisturizing or cream foundation if you have dry skin, and opt for hypoallergenic and scent-free if your skin is sensitive.[8]
  • You can also use your undertones to choose a foundation. Go for a reddish or bluish foundation if you have cool skin, a golden or yellowish foundation if your undertone is warm, and try ivory or praline foundation shades if you have neutral undertones.[9]

Use a concealer. Concealer is similar to foundation, but it’s even more capable of covering redness, flaws, and blemishes. Apply small amounts of concealer under your eyes and on all blemishes, and then use your fingers to delicately blend it in.[10]

  • You can also use the concealer to provide some contouring to your face, by applying some down the bridge of the nose and above the eyebrows. Use your fingers to blend it in.
  • Use the same criteria to choose concealer that you used for foundation, and try to match the color of your concealer to the color of your foundation. If you want to brighten your under-eye area, you can try a concealer that’s up to two shades lighter than your skin tone.[11]

Finish with a powder. This is another optional step, but if you want to help set your foundation and concealer for the day, use a sponge or brush to apply a thin layer of loose or pressed powder on your face, especially areas that are prone to oiliness.

  • Loose powder will provide a lighter look, while pressed powder is heavier, and will provide more coverage, especially if your skin is oily.
  • For an even easier and more natural look, you can simply apply a thin layer of powder on your face instead of using foundation.[12]

Add a pinch of blush. Once you’ve prepared your face, you’ll be ready to head out the door with a perfect complexion and smooth skin if that’s all you want to do. But if you want to add a bit of color to your cheeks and lips and highlight your eyes, you can do so by adding some basic cosmetics. With a brush, apply a small dab of blush along your cheek bones, then use the brush to blend the blush into your skin.[13]

  • Try light pink, peach, or plum shade for fair skin.
  • Go for mauve, apricot, or berry for medium skin.
  • Give rose, bronze, or an orangey-peach a try if you have olive skin.
  • Try raisin, brick, or tangerine if you have dark skin.[14]

Add some color to your lips. You don’t necessarily have to choose natural glossy or sheer color for daytime makeup (but you certainly can), and if you want to go a little bolder, try a cream lipstick without the lip liner. After applying, use your finger to blend the lipstick.[15]

  • To choose a lipstick color for daytime makeup, stick to something that’s a similar shade to your natural lip color, but with an extra bit of color and brightness. When in doubt, you can always opt for a soft pink shade.[16]

How to behave on a makeup appointment

Maryland-makeup-artist-dc-kelley-unthank-weddings

I think this topic is a big question all the time!

First of all we make up artists are human beings like you clients.

We have feelings like anyone else and also like respect and appreciation.

We are not plastic surgeons and robots!

Why I’m telling this?

Because most of the clients are not clear with the realistic expectations.

What makeup can do and what not?

Lets clear up why are we using makeup?

We are talking about classical glamorous looks.

We are applying makeup to enhance the natural beauty of the face and correct the imperfections!

Thats it easy and simple.

The makeup will not make you look like Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Lopez or who ever….

You don’t want to hide behind a mask created of foundation.

And of course much more!!

Unfortunately nowadays we are facing these unrealistic expectations. And what will happen at the end you will get a “bad makeup artist” reputation because you can’t make a Kim from everyone.

Well  ladies just to inform you this is not working like that.

First of all you need to be clear with yourself what is possible to bring out from your face and what not.

You don’t know it?

Thats why we are here … the professional makeup artists!

Lets start with some tips how to behave on a makeup appointment:

  1. You know that you are going for a makeup appointment so PLEASE DONT WEAR MAKEUP! And now you’re asking why? All of us want happy clients happy client equals happy makeup artist! The makeup will be perfect on a clean face and thats why there is no point of applying makeup for the makeup appointment. Anyway the makeup artist will clean up your  face and of course the mascara is a nightmare to clean up and after reapplying again. So make our lives easier and come with clean and moisturised face for your appointment.

2. Research your artists work before you book an appointment!As i said before we are all human beings with feelings. Bad comments and judging before even starting the makeup on your face is really painful for us! As for anyone else. If you know the artists work and you book an appointment with her or him you can be sure that you are in good hands and you dont have to judge or question every single move what she or he is doing!

3. Don’t be late!

If you are booked in at 2pm please be there at 2pm. Not 1.45 or 2.30 or other time. We are working on time…and time is a very precious thing. Being late is not a condition its a choice. All of us we know the conditions of the traffic, time, etc… so be prepared and be on time please!

4. Give time for the makeup

You are late and now you are rushing your artist to do a magic on your face for 15 minutes. Im really sorry ladies but this doesn’t work like this. A good work needs time. If you know that you will require a glamorous and complicated makeup don’t expect to be ready in 15 minutes!

5. Don’t judge the makeup from a foundation! The makeup in process can’t be judge. All of us, artists we have a different style of application. What you do at home in your bathroom, or watching you tube videos is one thing. The other is when you go to a professional and she or he will do your makeup. It will look different and its absolutely normal!

6. When we say close your eyes that means close it and don’t open till we say open. Opening your eyes can destroy the texture of the eyeshadows especially if we are working with Aqua (watercolours). So please follow the instructions of the artist. We know exactly what we are doing!

7. Trust  your artist

In my opinion this is one of the most important factors in this relationship. Without trust you will destroy the artists life and experience, as well as yours also. No one wants to leave the makeup appointment with bad feeling, terrible experience and even tears in eyes.

To avoid this discuss with your artist the desired look, the occasion, dress, style everything so there won’t be any misunderstanding and disappointment.

8. Relax and enjoy

The makeup application should be a nice and relaxing experience.

All you need to do is to sit, relax and enjoy. The rest is on us!

Makeup-Blog-Makeup-Hygiene-No-nos-Career-As-a-Makeup-Artist-Applying-Lipstick-with-Makeup-Brush

9. You asked for the price. And you got it.

The following question: No discount? or What is your last price?

Dear ladies that makeup artist paid for her studies, paid so much money for her makeup set and brushes. Energy, time and experience.

All this and most of the time we are talking about discounts and last price.

Please respect our work and effort! We are working hard to make you look the best as you can. Asking for discounts all the time and saving money on the makeup makes our work less important and not respected.

10. We often hear this: “Ahh its just makeup i will do mine ”

or

“Why is it so expensive i just want a simple makeup?”

To answer the first question:

Whatever you do, wherever you go the first thing you will check on the others is THE FACE!

Not the dress, shoes, accessories, hair etc… but THE Face!

When you talk to the people they will look at your face as they are talking to you… not to your dress or hair!

On your wedding you are the center of attention so you want to make sure that you look absolutely perfect! So start from your face with a perfect MAKE Up!

The answer to the second question is doesn’t matter how simple makeup you want it still takes all the steps…foundation, corrector, concealer, powder, eyebrows, eye shadows, mascara, blusher and lipstick. The difference is between the application technique and intensity in colours, but we are still using the same products and doing the same steps. So thats why you are paying the much money even its a simple look.

11. Using mobile phones while you are getting your makeup done

Absolutely no! Everyone can live without a phone for maximum 1 hour. Using phones, taking selfies while doing the makeup is not only annoying for the artist but makes our job really difficult.

Let us do our job and after the makeup you can take really good selfies with your beautiful makeup  on!

No OFFENCE to anyone… this is just the 17 years experience and the every day happening in this makeup artist life.

These are just simple tips how make our lives easier and to make sure both sides are happy and satisfied.

How to do the 10 minute makeup daytime look

 

5c3687e05557fa8b3d9d1937c9c25ffe

We often hear this sentence:

“Im not wearing any makeup because i really don’t have time to stand in front of the mirror for hours. ”

Or

“I don’t know how to do makeup so i decided not to wear any”

Also

“Im a mother of 2 kids and i would love to pamper myself with a bit of makeup  but there is really no time for it”

And so many other reasons and excuses.

So here we are for you bringing easy tips to create some magic in your pretty face whenever is needed.

This time the topic is the daytime look.

Most of us is kinda lazy to wake up an hour before work just to do some makeup, or simply just don’t want or really don’t have time.

Well you can always spend hours in front of the mirror

but lets do it quick as we don’t have time for anything. Mostly is running and rushing.

Here we go with the easy steps:

First of all don’t forget!

The daytime look should be light and lets say invisible we want to apply makeup in the morning to refresh our face.

Forget about heavy coverage and strong eye makeup.

The daytime makeup has to be transparent on the face, you don’t want to cover and correct everything on the face.

Keep it light!

So first of all moisturise your skin. Light daytime cream nothing too oily and heavy

Apply a liquid foundation. This won’t cover everything but will make your skin more uniform and will refresh it!

Powder it up with a bit of translucent powder. Keep it dewy don’t apply so much it will look caky.

Take a bit of brown eyeshadow and touch up the eyebrows.

Apply a bit of beige matte eyeshadow on your eye lids and a brown eyeshadow on the outer corners of your eyes.

Apply mascara

Take a bit of peach blusher and with a soft movements apply it on your cheekbones with circular moves.

Dab a bit of gloss on your lips

 

And here we go you are good to go!!

Only 10 minutes and you will look fresh and ready for the new challenges today

 

Easy and quick steps to make yourself feel much better

Tricks and tips on how to do Ombre Lips

 

Hi there! Today we will talk about how to create and define ombre lipstick!

Ombre means having two different colours that are monochromatic.

a96820ee46c5c8df1645ff32033a81a6

Ombre isn’t just for your hair! The sexy, ombré  lip look is one you’re going to want to wear always, and shout to the world about it. Be creative and bold with your makeup and try out this ombre lip look.

Ombre lips can look awesome, but if not done correctly they can make you look very tacky! The secret to doing ombre lips is to first try it out with your regular lip colors. Play around with different hues that merge well together and once you are satisfied with the results only then step out into the open.

25-OmbreLips

Step by Step Ombre Lips:

Apply concealer over your lips to hide the natural colour.

Use the dark lip liner to create a line around the edge of your lips as you would normally. Add more of this dark colour lip liner to the corner of your lips bringing this dark colour in towards the middle, but do not colour all of your lips with this shade. You can also extend this line and thicken it at the top and bottom of your lip if you wish.

Apply your pale colour to the middle of your lips that do not have the darker lip liner on them. Press your lips together once or twice but do not smear the colours together by rubbing your lips side to side or back and forth. Simply press your lips together and pull apart again in one smooth motion.

At this stage you can use your lip brush or cotton bud to blend the edges of your colours together to create a fading effect.

About Matte lips

Glossy VS Matte

maxresdefault-3

Yesterday we were talking about the luscious, glossy lips.

Todays topic is The Velvety Matte Lips.

MATTE-LIPS

The matte lips can be tricky.

Why?

Because if your lips are dry and cracked the matte lipstick will look really bad and cheap.

The same rules are on when you are prepping the lips for the matte lipstick.

  1. use a scrub to remove the dead skin
  2. lip balm or vaseline is a must
  3. remove the lip balm and make sure your lips are product free
  4. apply a bit of concealer to make sure your lipstick will last all night long
  5. apply lipliner! Its essential, because it defines the lips, you can be more precise and making your lipstick long lasting.
  6. fill up the lips with your matte lipstick. Use a lip brush in this case you will be more precise with lines and the lipstick will look rich and full. Also the lipstick will last  more longer. Do long and clean strokes with your lip brush. The texture of the matte lipsticks are more dry then the creamy ones its obvious because of the matte finish. We can suggest you the new Kryolan Matte Lipsticks. They are giving you the perfect matte velvety finish but at the same time the texture is not so dry.

Now its time to get on practicing.

The more you practice the better you will be in application the right lipstick colour and your lips will be perfectly defined.

Lipgloss when and where to wear it!

Apply-Lip-Gloss-Perfectly

Glossy lips yes or no?

Some girls simply love shiny and glossy lips – and lip gloss is their best friend! But overdoing the lip gloss can give a tacky effect. So, today we will show you how to perfectly use a lip gloss to get pretty, pouty, kissable lips.

Some of our friends are crazy about matte lips.

Is there the right occasion to wear gloss? or we can wear it anytime?

The answer is Yes!

There are some different occasions when its the best to wear gloss and when its better to keep it semi matte or matte.

When is it?

  1. Daytime – for daytime look you can use only a gloss just keep it natural.
  2. For photo shoots if the concept is not saying to use matte lipstick you can always go for glossy, shiny lips.
  3. If you just like your lips to be shiny and glossy you can always go  for the gloss.

 

When is not the best to use it?

  1. On corporate photoshoots
  2. When you want your lips to look smaller
  3. You just don’t like glossy lips

Things You Need

1. Lip Scrub
2. Lip Balm/Lip Conditioner
3. Lip Liner
4. Lipstick
5. Lip gloss

What is important before we are starting with the lip gloss application?

  1. Make sure you don’t have any dead skin on your lips. Start by prepping your lips. If you have dead skin cells or chapped/cracked lips, then scrub your lips before you start prepping. Massage the lip scrub all over your lips for about two to three minutes. Rinse it off.

prepping-your-lips

 

2. The next step is to use a lip balm or lip conditioner to get rid of the dryness. It will make your lips more soft and supple. Let the lip balm rest on the lips for about one to two minutes.

lip-balm-or-lip-conditioner

3.Once you are done with applying the lip balm, take a tissue and blot the excess. This prevents the lipstick from bleeding and makes the application of the other products easier.

applying-the-lip-balm

4.Start by analyzing your lip shape. Using a lip pencil in the color of your choice, start the application from the center of the upper lip and follow the natural lip line till the corners of the lip. Follow the same procedure with the lower lip. You can also fill the entire lip with the same lip pencil as that works as a great base and helps the lip color to stay put for longer. Refer to the picture above.

lip-pencil-in-the-color

 

5.Quick tip

You can also apply a little bit of foundation/concealer in the shade that matches your natural lip color. This would even out the lips in one go and provide an even base to work on.

6.Now it’s time for the lipstick. Apply the lipstick with a lip brush using short strokes and fill the entire lips. Using a brush while applying lipstick adds precision to the application. Here, I have used a bright red lipstick.

lipstick-with-a-lip-brush

7.Start applying the lip gloss from the center of the lips and drag the sponge applicator along the length of the lips. Avoid applying the gloss above the natural lip line. You can blot the excess lip gloss on a tissue paper. This will prevent the color from bleeding.
