Fashion shows are a chance to see creativity and style.
They bring together designers, models, and fashion lovers. Moreover, they set the trends for upcoming seasons. The lights dim as the show begins.
However, the music starts, adding to the excitement.
First, a model steps onto the runway, getting everyone’s attention.
Each outfit tells a story, showing the designer’s vision. Additionally, accessories show the overall look. As more models appear, the collection unfolds.
The audience watches closely, checking every detail. Meanwhile, photographers capture each moment.
These images quickly spread across social media. Furthermore, fashion critics share their thoughts online.
The finale is the highlight of the show. It’s often the most crazy look. The audience applauds, showing their appreciation.
About the designers
The designer then steps out, greeted with cheers.
Afterward, talks about the show continue. Fashion shows have a lasting impact on trends. Buyers select pieces to feature in stores.
Consequently, these pieces become must-haves for the season. Fashion shows also highlight the latest styles.
For instance, new colors are coming out.. Moreover, designers experiment with fabrics and textures.
Each show is cool , showing different creative visions. Fashion shows are more than just clothing displays. They are a party of art and style. In addition, they often show important messages.
Many designers now focus on new trends. This shift is seen in their collections. Fashion shows can also be a platform for students to show off.
They address social issues through fashion. The industry continues to grow, and so do fashion shows.
Shows are becoming more common. However, nothing beats the live event. Fashion shows will always be at the heart of the fashion world.
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.
We are really honoured to be interviewed by the wknd khaleej times magazine. We gave a tutorial on achieving the no makeup look , The way we teach at The Lipstick Makeup Institute which is the trend now in Dubai and around the whole world .
How to achieve this gorgeous look ? This is the question everyone into fashion and beauty is asking. Its not as easy as you think. Thelipstick makeup instituteexpert gave a step by step beauty tutorial to answer all about this new makeup trend .
Here is our tutorial steps and makeup tips to our beautiful ladies in dubai and the lipstick makeup institute lovers .
Here are the STEPS below in print.
1 – Firstly, cleansing , toning and moisturising which is the most important step .
2 – Its so important to find the perfect foundation for your skin tone. You can even blend another foundation lighter or darker to get an effortlessy natural glow. Our skin colour changes constantly. A bit of sun and we are a shade darker. We must compensate for this.
3 – Secondly, You can blend the foundation well with a wet sponge or a brush. You must blend it in well though so its almost invisible. This is the sign of good foundation.
4 – You should contour under the cheekbone , jawline , chin, temples and nose. This will lightly to give defention to your features .
5 – Thirdly, apply correctors to even out the dark circles , then highlight the centre of chin , under eyes and top of cheekbones with a cream highlighter .
6 – in order to set the base use loose or translucent powder and blend it with a brush . this will ensure a matte finish .
7 – Lastly, run a brush through your eyebrows and highlight with a shade that is at least three or four lighter than your eyeshadow . this is to give a gentle defention .
Eyeshadow Tips
8 – apply an eyeshadow over your eyes . start with a lighter base and move on to a darker shade .
9 – take an angular brush dab it on a darker shade that complements the eyeshadow and apply it on top of your eyes , smudge it later with the brush ( you could avoid eyeliner completly ) .
10 – However, for mascaras you can choose to apply a combination one for length the other for volume .
11 – All in all. Although this may be true, to give your lower eyeline just the right amount of definition apply a beige liner and for a night time look you could substitute with a white liner .
12 -Another key point, for blush go for soft colours like peaches or oranges and for a night look you could use a bronzer or dark pinks depending on the lipstick you are wearing .
13 – apply a lipliner for lipstick , go for glossy ,understated colours in this case its rosy , brown avoid mattes .
Its so easy once you know how and follow instructions.
Long gone now are the days when we paste the make up and have rosy cheeks and seriously contoured cheekbones. Less is more as they say.
Please have a look at the pictures below and see our gorgeous model, Clementine Harriett transformed. She is beautiful anyway but glows with our expert makeup and Kryolan make up.
Well we survived the first year with flying colours. We have been involved in so many events. Fashion Shows. Courses. Photoshoots. The list is endless.
All are invited a few selected friends to join in our celebrations of winning the Eurasian World Championships, celebrate the MD’s, Yasmin Hussain Birthday and also for completing The Week at Arab Fashion week.
We thoroughly enjoyed our whole event. We put on a few small fashion shows and displayed some amazing designers clothes with beautiful models.
Another amazing, crazy busy day at Meydan Hotel. We are the major Sponsors of Arab Fashion week for the hair, make up and nails.
I am blown away by the camaraderie, support and respect everyone has for each other.
These events are something special that everyone just loves to be involved in, including me. Sometimes it make you crazy as the pressure and timings are sometimes unrealistic but its fun and exciting!
People respond better under pressure. What does not break us makes us stronger.
Here are some amazing shots from #yhstudiosdxb our sister company.
Day 4 of Arab Fashion Week
Moreover, get world experience is invaluable.
Therefore, offer your services for events such as weddings, photoshoots, or fashion shows.
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
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.
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 ”
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.
