The little beauties loved it and were so excited.They were not afraid at a ll. I was so proud of them. One or two had a little moment but soon got over it.

There were lots of activities for them to keep them amused too. There were nail painting, games slides etc. There was also complimentary food such as burgers, hot dogs, chips. There was even deserts crepes, popcorn , candy floss and ice creams. Not only for the children but for all the parents too.

The Events company #mo4network did an amazing job of organising the whole event and bringing it all together. 

It was our pleasure and enjoying every single minute of them doing their Rosey cheeks.  blushes, powder and lip gloss The hair that all gorgeous thick and curly, it was amazing styling them while the kids talking and asking so much questions, as kids do. If I could do a fashion Show like this every week, I would love it. Such a pleasure to work not only with the kids but the parents too. Its so lovely to see everyone happy and pulling together. It also gives The Lipstick make Up team more experience in every genre. We want to do every event in Dubai that we can. We just love it.

Another Successful Make Up Student

We are always so proud that students travel across the globe to choose our make up institute over any other to to teach them the skills that they need to advance them into the world of Make Up.

 

I am always flattered when I ask them, How did you find us”? and they say that they google, “Make Up Schools in Dubai” and they looked at what all the schools had to offer and they like the look of our website, our testimonials, the work that we do and they see what the students are achieving and we are far ahead of any other make up institute. It means that we have done our job well.

 

The reason that we achieved this is because we opened the make up Institute because we are passionate about it and this is the most apparent attribute and this is clear for anyone to see.

 

Its not just a business but its our life and we just love it. 

 

I am not just saying it but our students feel at home here and get really sad when their courses are over as we do. Once you leave the Institute we don’t forget you though. We keep in touch with our students and try to involve them in our Fashion Shows and any event we can. We really do care about our students. They become a part of  our small family here.

 

The other great attribute that puts Our Make up institute better than any other in Dubai is that we have a sister company, YH Studios DXB and all our students get professional images for their portfolio, how many depends on what course they have chosen

 

This is such a great advantage for the students to have such images in their portfolio as believe e when i tell you that I have interviewed over 60 make Up Artists and no one! has any professional images. I advertised for a “teacher” and one applicant sent me face cards, I couldn’t understand this at all. I asked her that all the years she claims to be a make up artist and have taught for so may years yet she send me , Face Charts. Unreal.

 

I know how important it is to have a portfolio and a  diary of your achievements. I have been a photographer for 28 years so I really do know the value of a portfolio and thats why when we were  comprising the courses it was imperative that we incorporated professional photographs for the students portfolios.

 

Here are the results of one of our students who has just finished a 3 Day Bronze Course.

 

Amazing pictures with great talent.

Eyeliner for daytime yes or no?

 

 Wearing black eyeliner in the daytime “Here is a general rule: dark colours shrink and recede,”  “Light colours advance and bring forward.” That’s why she recommends skipping black eyeliner (especially underneath eyes) during the day, so your eyes look more open and awake.  ;

“Yikes, I do this almost every day,”  “I do like how the liner defines my eyes. I think I look tired without some liner on. But I will admit that black can be a bit harsh for daytime, so maybe a switch to brown liner is in order. Same effect without the goth undertones.”

Daytime lips and lipstick

The Lipstick.

Woman’s lips are one of the most sensual part of the face so we need to take a good care of them.

Moisturise it and enhance it with our favourite lipstick.

Lipstick are every woman’s first love and mostly one of the first cosmetic items she starts using in her life. A dash of colour on the pout adds to the charm of a woman and makes her look really beautiful. Usually the choice of any lip colour is largely based on the occasion when you wish to flaunt the lip colour. Usually very vibrant bold shades are kept to be worn at special events like wedding or engagements and some other intense shades for a date night. Well, the choice of lipstick also depends on the day and night time as one likes to keep the stunning dramatic shades for the night time look and wear soft lip color during the day time.

In general, it holds quite true as a very bold and bright shade of lip colour may not go with your look during the day but the same lip colour will make you look drop dead gorgeous if worn during the night!

This lipstick colour is in natural brown color which falls into the category of nude shades. Since this is not a very deep brown, the shade will look good on medium to fair skin tones as well

Pink is a beautiful cool toned everyday wear pink shade. It is a little lighter than a proper fuchsia shade. It doesn’t dry the lips and doesn’t transfer much. It is surely a great pink for everyday wear!

It is a brick red shade with brown hues. The shade is a wearable brown. It does not transfer much and stays for a good time. The lipstick is not highly pigmented and a second swipe is needed to get the colour.

This one belongs to the nude shade category and is light brown hue with very slight undertones of mauve shade. It looks more of a creamy light nude brown shade. It looks very nice during the day time.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we talked about eyeliner for day time look.

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!

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
