How to behave on a makeup appointment

June 19, 2016 Yasmin

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:

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!

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 ”

“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.

Tricks and tips on how to do Ombre Lips

June 15, 2016 Yasmin

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

Ombre means having two different colours that are monochromatic.

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.

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.

Thank you guys in tuning in.

Tomorrow we will talk about do’s and don’t about day time makeup!

Basically there are no rules in makeup. All you need is a clean makeup, stylish and well blended!

Lets start with the Dos:

1.Make sure you take care of your skin. This is the first DO!

Use a scrub monthly once or twice, face cleaning gel or foam, toner every day and moisturising cream.

2. Start your makeup on a clean and moisturised skin.

3. Always try the foundation on your face near to the jawline area to check the colour.

4.Apply the foundation in thin layers

5.Try to use thin layers if you use cream contours and highlights

6.Use Translucent powder instead of pressed powder

7.Use 3 shades lighter shadow on your brows than your brow colour

8.Use matte eye shadows for daytime look

9.Apply peach-orange tones on your cheeks giving you immediate fresh look

10. Glossy lips look more healthy than matte ones, don’t forget to apply a lipgloss for the nice finishing

Now lets see the DON’TS

1. Don’t over draw your natural lips.

2.Don’t apply blush to your cheeks without blending

3.Don’t forget to wash your makeup off at night

After the tips what and how to do the conclusion is

-Less is always more

Blusher application and the right colour for you

May 24, 2016 Yasmin

Hi guys welcome back. Yesterday we talked about False Lashes!

Today we talk about blushes!

We have all seen those people that were far too much blusher and look a bit like a clown. This often causes many of us to stay away from blusher and not use it for fear of looking like a fool. The aim of this article is to explain the benefits of using blusher and how to apply it to get the right effect.

When Blusher is used correctly it will add a natural glow to the skin as well as adding contours to the face. It is a great tool and should appear in any woman’s makeup bag.

What Type of Blusher?

When looking for blusher you will find you can get it as a powder, cream of even a gel. They all have different qualities and it is a good idea to pick one that you feel comfortable using. The creams and gels will stay on the longest but the powders will come with more choice of colour. Powder must be applied over foundation whereas other types can be applied on bare skin.

What Colour should You Choose?

When choosing the colour of your blusher, you should first consider your skin tone and then, the look that you want to achieve. Now let’s consider the types of colours and how they work.

Cool colours – These are colours that tend to have a blue undertone and will add freshness and a healthy glow to your face. For light skin go for a pink and a plum or similar will work for darker skin. If you are wearing a brown or orangey lipstick don’t use a cool colour for your blusher.

Warm Colours – These will normally have orange undertones and they work best for contouring the cheeks and adding definition to the face. If you have a light complexion then you should think about using a light apricot whereas a burnt orange may be better for those with darker skin. Don’t use a warm blusher if you are going to wear a cool lipstick or a lip colour that has a blue undertone.

Universal Colours – These are those shades that generally come in between the cool and warm colours. The advantage of these is that they suit everyone and go with any share of lipstick. For light skin you are best to go with a peach, for medium skin rosewood works well and red is best for darker skin.

Natural Colours – These are the neutral beiges and browns. These have very little red in them and are best used as a bronzer rather than a blusher and can in fact be use alongside your usual blusher.

TIP for the day:If you were at all worried about blusher you should not be now. Experiment, try different colours, just remember that blusher should be subtle and look natural

Stay with us tomorrow as we will share some awesome tips about your makeup steps and how to do them in a right way. This will save you some time and money of course!

Don’t miss it!
