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.
Its not just a business but its our life and we just love it.
Once you leave the Institute we don’t forget you though. We really do care about our students. They become a part of our small family here.
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. 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.
And the most we love is to create yet unseen looks and concepts in makeup and showcase it to all of you.
Yesterday was a Creative makeup training day in our Institute for The Lipstick Team.
We love our team and they deserve the best training.
We were presenting 2 completely different looks:
Avant-garde makeup
2. Fantasy makeup – body painting with UV Glow colours
About the Avant-garde style
The term avant-garde refers to innovative or experimental concepts or works, or the group of people producing them. Pushing boundaries with the development of Cubism, Pablo Picasso was part of the early 20th-century art world’s avant-garde. He in fact Personifies this style!
So we were pushing our boundaries and combined loads of different makeup application techniques in our Creative Make Up day.
Of course as always we were using Kryolan products so much glitters, gellafix, crushed mirror, sequences, crystals, Supracolors in colours, Aquacolors and glitter powders and pure colour pigments.
Our concept was to create something different and special.
Inspired by high fashion and fantasy looks, to create an aqua, watery impression followed by glow and shine.
Our models final look is really impressive, different and extraordinary but still she looks beautiful and feminine.
Fantasy look with UV glow colours
Our another look was inspired by the fantastic Galaxy.
This is how we created the, “Galactical Princess” Look, Sparkly and bright.
Handmade skirt, painted top and collar were the main contents of this look.
It was a real fun look to work on Our Lipstick Teams were fascinated as they had never been involved in anything like this before. A complete transformation before their eyes.
I was applying the UV colours in the dark under the UV light with the whole team watching it.
Of course it was a bit challenging but that was the most interesting part in it.
For the whole look we were using Kryolan products.
Kryolan UV glow aqua colors, UV glow eyeshadows and Hair spray and a free hand to draw some funky lines and splash the colours all over the models body.
Because we really enjoyed creating the look and looking forward to the next project.
Creation Number 1
Creation Number 2
Creative UV Makeup Workshop
All in all we are one window solution photo studio and makeup institute.
Firstly & Lastly we are the best makeup school in UAE.
A strong mouth brings out the flush in your cheeks, so go light on blush, but do take a couple of minutes to define your eyes. Run a rich black or brown liner pencil which has a touch of iridescence as close as possible to your upper and lower lash lines, Then finish with two coats of black mascara.
Make sure that the entire face is well blended and covered. Dont stop at the jaw line extend the foundation under it also and on the neck. If your first coat of foundation does not cover well, apply a second or third. Layering is always better in the makeup artistry than an initial heavy application.
ADDITIONAL:
If you have olive/medium skin, try creamy, succulent, red-tinged plums.
If you have dark skin try deep, saturated raisin hues.
Softly shimmering highlighter.
Thank You for tuning in today.
Tomorrow we will talk about what lipstick soothes for cocktail party.
How to choose the right Course
Firstly, decide if you want to learn just for yourself or become a professional makeup artist.
Secondly, make sure you have set aside enough time for you to attend all classes and dont miss any as each day is as important as the last.
Thirdly, make sure you have a set of brushes, if not we can advise you of what to buy.
Lastly, Come with a clear head and start your journey with The Lipstick Makeup Institute.
Meanwhile, do your research and see if there is a certain makeup you want to learn or skill.
Certainly we will focus on your particular areas.
Although the course covers many subjects certain students dont want to dwell on parts lice Special Effect for example.
All in all the course is about learning and about you.
The daytime eye makeup will be light, soft and refreshing.
Daytime eye makeup
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.
Hence check out our website you will see just how great our students works are:
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. 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]
Daytime Skin look
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.
Use a concealer. Concealer is similar to foundation, but it’s even more capable of covering redness, flaws, and blemishes.
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.
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]
Daytime Skin look
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]
When in doubt, you can always opt for a soft pink shade.[16]
Stay with us tomorrow as we will share tips how to do your daytime eye makeup
Don’t miss it!

All in all Don’t miss such a great opportunity and book your seat now 6 students in a group.
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!
How to behave on a makeup appointment
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.
