Self Makeup Course was held last week. We had a student who came in for it. She barely had any idea about how to put her own makeup and she only had a handful of products in her kit.
On the first day of the Self Makeup Course, we did a day makeup look with minimum amount of products and brushes (1 eyeshadow brush). Her main issue was her hyper pigmentation so I taught her how to colour correct. Orange correctors often look intimidating because of its strong colours but when used properly, it can give beautiful results. I also gave her a few exercises that she can do while she wasn’t doing anything at home.

On the second day, we did an evening makeup look. This time, we focused on creating smokey eyes. First, she watched how I did my own and then followed what I was doing. This time, she brought her own products and brushes (2 for the eyes and 3 for the face) with her. When she started doing the look, we realised that the colour of her foundation is way off. it was so light on her and the tone wasn’t even correct.
The third and last day, she brought the makeup that I recommended for her to buy and it did a lot of difference. she got her own corrector, her colour of foundation, highlighters, a couple of new brushes. We then carried on to doing party makeup.
After everything, we took a photograph at YH Studios so she can have a remembrance of the makeup she did on herself.
We hope you can come and join us for the next batch!
Burj al Arab is one of the most luxurious hotels in the UAE and we had the chance to work with the lovely Carlotta Conca (www.lustforthesublime.com) during her stay here in Dubai.
Carlotta is an Italian Luxury Travel blogger who has travelled in the most beautiful places around the world. She documents her stays in different hotels, resorts, travel spots for people who might want to come to those places. She also features the food, transportation, the night life and activities in the places that she goes to in style.
We were so pleased when we got an email from her indicating that she was going to be in town for a few days and she needed a photographer to document her stay at the Burj al Arab. So for us to be able to work with her is such a great honor.
Brushes, makeup, hair tools, and our cameras. Huge glass doors and gold embellished walls, furniture, and rooms greeted us upon arrival.
We brought the whole crew with us from YH Studios, one of our instructors from The Lipstick Makeup Institute, and our Platinum Makeup Course student.
We give them tasks, even just assisting, so they know what to do in situations like this in the future.
The student was able to complete the look with the help of the instructor for both makeup and hair. The student also assisted the model by retouching her makeup throughout the shoot.
We ended the shoot by celebrating a little with a few snacks and drinks at her hotel room.
Become a professional makeup artist in 3 weeks. Afterwards you will be a part of The Creative Show Team.
Foundation is very important in makeup application.
There are literally thousands of different shades and formulas in the market today. In this blog post, I’ll give you a few easy tips and tricks when it comes to finding the perfect foundation for you.
Skin Type
Finding out your skin type is vital into finding the perfect formula of foundation for your skin. Different kinds of skin types but the most common are normal, dry, oily, and combination. How do you distinguish which one is yours? Take a few oil blotting paper and place them one side of your forehead, nose, cheek, jaw, and chin. Check which blotting paper has oil in it.
Normal Skin: All sheets have a minimal amount of oil
Dry Skin: all sheets are dry
Oily Skin: All sheets have more amount of oil
Combination Skin: Forehead, Cheeks, Nose, and Chin have oil
Skin Tone
We are either Cool, Neutral or Warm toned. Check the veins on your wrists. The natural colour of our veins are blue so if your veins appear blue then you’re in the cool-toned spectrum due to the lack of melanin in the skin (skin is translucent). If your vein appears green, then you’re in the warm-toned spectrum. If you see your veins are purple then you’re probably neutral.
Skin Colour
Now that you’ve established your skin tone, time to find the right shade for you. Finding the correct shade is usually very daunting. I always suggest going to a physical store when buying foundation instead of buying online. Most formulas oxidise so it’s best to try it on yourself before purchasing it. I suggest that when you go shopping, always start with a couple of foundations you’re eyeing on and carry on throughout your day shopping. Check it after a couple of hours and then come back to the shop to purchase or try another one.
Foundation Usage
Foundation Shade
In choosing your foundation shade, apply your foundation to your jawline and part of your neck. Decide on which part of your body do you want to follow (neck and chest or face) because most of us have either lighter or darker faces than other parts of our body.
Coverage/Finish
In choosing the thickness, texture and formula of your foundation, you have to choose it according to your skin type.
Normal Skin: Any Liquid or Cream-based
Dry Skin: BB Creams, Liquid and Cream-based with extra moisture
Oily Skin: Water-based Cake, Full Matte Coverage, Compact Powder Foundation.
Combination: Any formula as long as it’s properly primed and moisturised in the correct areas.
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your new foundation.:)

Nothing pleases me more than getting extremely creative students.
During our last leg of the course, our students get their hands “dirty” during the Creative Makeup Week. They work with glitter, metallic paints, latex, fake blood, wax, and everything that as to do with Special Effects makeup. In a way, it’s like Halloween all year round in the institute. hahahaha!
Our International Platinum Course is a Fashion Makeup Course as we work closely with Our Sister company YH Studios DXB who is a Global Award Winning studio. All in all our students are privileged enough to work with the photographers every day. all their models are shot in the studio after makeup. This teaches the students how to become a “REAL” Makeup artist. By this I mean they learn the etiquette of being a makeup artist.
They just don’t learn how to apply makeup but learn how to act in a real shoot & need to understand when it is the right time to correct any makeup or do touch ups. Also understand that its a joint effort in making perfect pictures.
The relationship between Makeup Artist and Photographer is very important. This can be the essence of creating the perfect look. Atmosphere and ambiance really shows in the final image.
our student learn all about #fashion-makeup and High Fashion makeup at The Lipstick Makeup Institute. Because If you want to excel in the world of makeup then join our Makeup Institute. We are Award winners 2017 and 1018 for a reason.
We really love what we do. Its a lifestyle not just a career.

SORAYA B. COUTURE AND VAROIN MARWAH AW 2018 FASHION SHOW
Last Friday, June 22 2018, we were able to collaborate with a couple of wonderful designers, SORAYA B. COUTURE and VAROIN MARWAH at VII DUBAI in Conrad Hotel. In cooperation with Fashion TV, our students from the Lipstick Makeup Institute created the looks for the models before they marched their way into the runway. The beautiful models came out with a mixture of blinding gold highlights and fuschia pink cheeks Avant Garde looks.
With the guidance of one of our teachers and the coordinator, the students were challenged to finish their makeup look within 10-15 mins per model in their first ever fashion show.
The YH Studios crew also took photos and videos for the event.
Models lining up to get their looks done.
It was a jam-packed show. The models adorning the designs by Soraya and Varoin gleamed on the cat-walk.
They owned it as they felt so confident in their attire. Shining bright with Soraya’s gowns and make up that gave them confidence to hold their heads up high.
The students are in their last week of training. 6 weeks of intensive training. They started with not much knowledge and now they are leaving with so much that they are bursting at the seams.
They are ready to tackle the outside world and start using all that have learnt along the way.
covered everything from the no makeup look to special effects. One end of the spectrum to the next!
I am so so proud of them that I could cry! It always makes me so happy. I love my students!!
Last week, The Lipstick Makeup Institute took part in the Professional Beauty GCC event at Meydan, Dubai on the 5th-6th of February.
The Lipstick Makeup Institute
showcased 3 different looks on stage. Two of the makeup artists were past students of The Platinum Media Course, at The Lipstick Makeup Institute. They had the chance to showoff their amazing skills, and had a blast while doing that too!
At first, the makeup artists were nervous to be going on stage and talking about their work, Their nerves however, soon disappeared once they were speaking to Yasmin Hussain on stage, and explaining to her and everyone the meaning and process of their artistic looks.
We had some variety of looks that day, from smoky eyes to colourful creative looks, and even pop art! Each different look had its own skill,talent and story behind it. We got to know the artists some more, while they explained their stories and journeys, and how they have become Pro Makeup Artists.
The hairstylists explained to the team the exact looks they wanted, that would highlight the hairstyles they were exhibiting. Then the Lipstick team went to work, and delivered a great job with the makeup. The models looked fantastic with the final looks while on stage.
All in all, The Lipstick Makeup Institute Team had a wonderful time featuring their talents at the event, and loved taking part in such a great convention of all things Beauty.
By and large you will leave The Lipstick Makeup Institute packed with all skills to start your own business.
However, because we will welcome you with open arms. Bring your friends too.

We are all really please to be asked to participate in the Dubai modest Fashion Week.
It’s an amazing event.
The first time in the UAE.
this ben in London, Istanbul and New York,
It was inflicted with influencers, bloggers and amazing designers.
The models looked just so beautiful and elegant in the Beautiful designs all ver elegant for Dubais Modest Fashion Week.
There were so many designers that came to Dubai just for this event from all over the world.
As usual, The Lipstick Make Up Institute Teams just love Fashion Shows. We thrive on the adrenalin and the rush of the exciting challenges that the days bring. We love the pressure and th dramatic changes from designer to designer.
This time though there were not too may changes as it the Title of the Show says, The Modern Fashion Show! so hence the makeup had also to be minimalistic and not so pronounced. Delicate and flawless makeup was the dominant feature of the shows. This was so not to take anything away from the designers and the clothes.
I never knew that there so many ways to wear a hijab and look so cool. The clothes were very , ” now” and so in with fashion, we were all so impressed.
We just can’t wait for the next Fashion Show. This is the season of events and the teams are all busy bees.
.We can sail and watch the sunset together on The Palm Jumeirah.
Cannot wait. Congratulations to Everyone!!!!
