Contouring at Lipstick

Contouring at Lipstick

Contouring at Lipstick The Art of Contouring: A Beginner’s Guide* Contouring has become a buzzword in the beauty world, and for good reason.

This makeup technique, when done right, can enhance your natural features, giving your face a sculpted and defined look. Whether you’re aiming for chiseled cheekbones, a slimmer nose, or a more pronounced jawline, contouring can help you achieve that.

But before you dive in, let’s break it down into simple steps to make it easy to understand.

Understanding Contouring

First and foremost, you need to know what contouring is. Essentially, contouring is all about creating shadows and highlights on your face.

The shadows, created with a darker shade of makeup, will help recede areas you want to minimize. Meanwhile, the highlights, made with a lighter shade, will bring forward the features you want to emphasize.

Therefore, the contrast between light and dark creates the illusion of depth and dimension.

Now, let’s move on to the tools you’ll need. To begin with, you’ll need a contour product.

This could be a powder, cream, or stick, depending on your skin type and preference. In addition to this, you’ll need a highlighter and a good set of brushes.

The Brushes

A contour brush with an angled edge works best for applying the darker shade, while a blending brush is perfect for softening any harsh lines.

Once you have your tools, it’s time to get started. Start by applying the contour product in the hollows of your cheeks, along your hairline, and on the sides of your nose.

Additionally, apply it under your jawline for a more defined look. Afterward, blend it out using circular motions to avoid any harsh lines.

Next, apply the highlighter on the high points of your face – think the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your brow bone.
Finally, blending is key. Keep blending until the makeup seamlessly integrates with your skin.
The goal is to create a natural, sculpted look, not harsh lines. In conclusion, practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for your face shape.
With time, you’ll master the art of contouring!

WKND KHALEEJ TIMES MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

WKND KHALEEJ TIMES MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

WKND KHALEEJ TIMES MAGAZINE INTERVIEW because we were honoured to be choosen by the khaleej times magazine to interview the lipstick makeup institute.

In their next coming episode about the no makeup look which is a new makeup trend  taking media and everyone by  storm  .

However, our makeup artist explained  on our lovely model in a live tutorial  how to achieve a no makeup look.

All in all, this is  actually harder than it looks. Its simple but complicated as its not easy to make your makeup invisible  because you have to choose the exact right colours.

As long as you   work for your skin tone  and to appear with a natural gorgeous skin , eyelids  , long eyelashes , pink cheecks and sun kissed glow skin.

Getting Great Skin tones

 

Firstly, the look seems effortless. Trying to look natural is more difficult than it appears.

However, this is actually becoming very popular with our clients. It’s had had a sudden shift from serious contouring and very pronounced features to simple looks.

Secondly, Its really lovely to see that people are opting for back to basics rather than the really heavy trend that has ben in for a while now.

Thirdly,  strong eyebrows are kind of fading out too.

The very dark, structured eyebrows are becoming softer. The fresh, no effort, nude make up look is finally come back.

Lastly, the little blush like a summers day is back!  Yippee!!

 

So cool that the guys at Al Khaleej are recognising the trend.

At any rates, as with all the people that cement the studio of our sister company, YH Studios DXB they are asking for the simple make up look. It’s a trend that I really love as it make the photographs.

We have worked with so many amazing people. CNN Arabia, Dubai TV, Al Kharama TV, Rotana TV, Help Magazine, OK Magazine and so many more. Feel very blessed!!

I guess our hard work and dedication really do pay off. There is no one who could say otherwise.

For Your Best Skin
Exfoliate

 

While you shouldn’t exfoliate daily, it’s still an integral step in your skincare routine, so we suggest exfoliating twice a week. There are two types of exfoliators; chemical and physical exfoliators. We prefer chemical exfoliators as they gently remove dead skin and clear out pores without risking removing any healthy skin.

 

Use A Clay Mask

Since the focus of week one is purifying and detoxing your skin, a clay mask is ideal. Clay will help extract any oil or impurities in your pores – you can see the oil gather as it’s pulled from your pores – it’s gross, yet oddly satisfying.

 

Brighten Your Skin

By introducing vitamin C to your skin, you’ll provide a surge of antioxidants that’ll brighten and illuminate the skin. Vitamin C serums will also help lighten any dark spots, so if your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, make sure you’re using a vitamin C product.

For Your Best Skin

Use A Sleeping Mask

As week two is all about healing and hydration, a sleeping mask is an essential. In Korea, some women use a sleeping mask every night, although we think three times a week is plenty! A sleeping mask is like a supercharger night cream that’ll enhance the regeneration process that naturally occurs when your sleep. The mask will also act a barrier preventing moisture loss.

Give Yourself A DIY Facial

Ok, so once you’ve reached midweek (week two), it’s all about chasing that glow. So it’s time to give yourself the ultimate DIY facial. While we’ve covered most of the steps – cleanse, cleanse, exfoliate, mask, tone, moisturize – we also love to do a facial steam after cleansing and before we apply a face mask

Lastly, make sure you choose the exact right course for you so you can benefit from all the knowledge. 

Afterwards you will reap all the rewards of the best education and this will serve you well. 

By and large you will leave The Lipstick Makeup Institute packed with all skills to start your own business.

Achieving a flawless foundation

Achieving a flawless foundation

Achieving a flawless foundation

All in all this is key to any makeup look.

When applying foundation, less is more.

Start with a small amount on the back of your hand. Use a brush, sponge, or your fingers to apply.

Moreover, brushes give a more polished finish, while sponges provide a natural look.

Fingers are great for quick and easy application. Dab the foundation on your face, then blend outwards. This ensures an even distribution.

It starts with good skin prep.

Firstly, cleanse your face thoroughly. This removes dirt and oil, ensuring a smooth base.

Secondly, apply a moisturizer suited to your skin type. Hydrated skin allows foundation to glide on easily.

Thirdly,  moisturizing, use a primer. Primers fill in pores and fine lines, creating an even surface. Choose one that addresses your skin concerns, whether it’s redness, oiliness, or dullness.

Finally, it’s time for foundation.

However, picking the right shade is crucial. Test a few on your jawline to find the perfect match.

Above all the shade should blend seamlessly with your neck.

As I have shown, when applying foundation, less is more.

As long as you start with a small amount on the back of your hand. Use a brush, sponge, or your fingers to apply.

By and large, brushes give a more polished finish, while sponges provide a natural look.

What is important

Equally important, fingers are great for quick and easy application. Dab the foundation on your face, then blend outwards.

Due to this ensures an even distribution.

To avoid a cakey look, build up coverage gradually. Apply thin layers, focusing on areas needing more coverage. Blend well into your hairline and jawline to prevent any noticeable lines.

Evidently set your foundation with a translucent powder.

Equally  important for oily skin.

Lightly dust the powder on your face, paying extra attention to your T-zone. This helps the foundation last longer and reduces shine.

Lastly, mist your face with a setting spray. This locks in your makeup and adds a natural glow. Plus, it helps your foundation stay put all day.

In summary, flawless foundation requires preparation, the right tools, and a bit of patience. Cleanse, moisturize, prime, and choose the correct shade. Apply in thin layers, blend thoroughly, and set it with powder and spray. Follow these steps, and you’ll achieve a flawless finish every time.

Beauty Hygiene Checkin

Beauty Hygiene Checkin

Maintaining good skin care rituals if you have bad beauty hygiene that will counteract all of the hard work you’re putting in.

This means you need to know what not to do. Otherwise inadvertently transfer dirt, oil, and impurities back onto your skin, which will block your pores and could even trigger a breakout. So start the cleanse clean with these three steps

1. Wash your pillowcase and bed sheets: When you sleep, your body temperature naturally rises, and your skin starts to repair (it’s called beauty sleep for a reason!), during this process, you’ll also transfer sweat and dead skin debris onto your pillowcase.

2. Clean your makeup brushes: Your makeup brushes can turn into a breeding ground for dirt and bacteria if not cleaned often enough – we recommend once a week, and rinsing your makeup sponge every time you use it.

3. Wash your hands before you apply your makeup: You’d never eat a meal without washing your hands first, so the same rules should apply for makeup application.

Daily Habits For Your Best Skin Ever:
1. Cleanse

Cleansing – it’s basically the cornerstone of good skin. If you don’t cleanse properly, your pores will be congested and blocked, and your skin will be prone to blackheads.

 

2. Tone

Toning will remove any lingering makeup, rebalance your, while toning and tightening your pores, reducing the penetration of impurities. You can tone in the morning with something lightweight and clarifying and at night with something a little more intense.

 

3. Moisturize

Unless your skin is hydrated, it’ll never bring its A-game. Typically, oily and acne-prone skin types should opt for a lightweight gel moisturizer, while dry skin needs a thicker, cream formula. Moisturizing twice a day is also essential; even if you have oily skin, as if you skip this step, your skin will try to compensate by producing more oil.

Eyeshadow Tips

Eyeshadow Tips

The thing is, perfecting your eyeshadow game requires dedication, practice, and patience. You’ve got to pack on the pigment, buff and blend, be mindful of fallout, and ensure the color pops, all while working that trend or shadow style to suit your unique eye shape. Luckily for you, we have all the answers, hacks, and pro tips to perfect your eyeshadow.

Eyeshadow Tips

Eyeshadow Tip #1: Prep and Prime

Before you even pick up your blending brush, you need to prime and prep your lid to ensure that the color is even, it stays on all day long without creasing.

Apply an eyeshadow primer: There are now tons of eyeshadow primers on the market that act as the perfect canvas for eyeshadow application while maximizing the staying power

 

Bake your lid: If you have oily lids, your eyeshadow is more likely to settle into your creases and look patchy throughout the day. To avoid this, dust a light layer of translucent setting powder

 

Make that pigment pop: If you love to experiment with bright eyeshadows, to guarantee the color looks just as vibrant as it does in the pan, apply a white base to your lid using a light-colored concealer or a white eyeshadow

Eyeshadow Tip #2: Choosing Your Eyeshadow

Speaking of pigment payoff, it often comes at a cost – fallout, but that’s a small price to pay for intense color!

Perfect The Mewy Makeup Look

Perfect The Mewy Makeup Look

If you’re not yet familiar with the newest makeup trend, then let us introduce you to ‘mewy’ – when your skin’s looking dewy AF in all the right places and perfectly mattified in others. 

1. Prep your skin: The key to perfecting this look is to prep your skin properly: start by cleansing, and then gently exfoliate. By exfoliating, you’ll give your skin a silky smooth base.

2. Prime: Possibly the most important product for this makeup look is a good primer. We like to use a mattifying primer on our T-zone and areas that we get oily, and a hydrating primer around our jawline and any areas our skin tends to be drier.

Perfect The Mewy Makeup Look

3. Airbrush your foundation: To ensure your base is perfectly blended, use a damp beauty sponge to gently pat your foundation on  you can combine your foundation with a drop of primer. To brighten your under eyes, use a satin finish concealer for a more fresh finish.

4. Use a cream highlighter: We’re firm believers that there’s no such thing as too much highlighter. But, when it comes to mewy makeup, it’s all about getting the balance just right. Lightly dab a cream highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones.

5. Bake Strategically: One of the easiest ways to avoid that midday shine is to bake. However, as you do want your T-zone to be as oil-free as possible, you can bake for a few minutes on the center of your forehand, on your smile lines, and on the center of your chin. Once the time is up, sweep off the remaining powder with a loose brush.

6. Blush up: For your cheeks, dab a little pink-toned cream blush to the apples of your cheeks where you’d naturally be flushed. A cream blush is perfect as it’s subtle yet hydrating, so you’ll get that mewy finish.

Makeup Mistake You Don’t Know

Makeup Mistake You Don’t Know

 

Makeup Mistake

Is It Your Foundation? Chemical SPFs found in foundation and concealers won’t cause flashback, but if they use the minerals Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, then the probability of getting a bright white face is much more likely. 

Or Is It Your Powder? By far your worst flashback enemy is silica – the culprit behind the celeb mishaps above. Silica is used mainly in HD powders (some translucent powders have it too), and its light-reflecting particles make it perfect for soaking up oil and blurring imperfections; giving you that flawless matte look that was created for film cameras. Alas, when the flash comes out it can result in harsh white patches that look far from fleeky. HD powders are different to setting powders, so it’s less likely the latter will be a problem, but still check for silica to be on the safe-side before a night out.

Makeup Mistake You Don’t Know

How to Avoid Flashback:

Foundation Fix: One option is to avoid using foundations with SPF at nighttime. You can also check the ingredients on your foundation; if it has SPF but no Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide, you won’t need to worry about ghost face.

Steer Clear of Silica: If a powder lists silica in the ingredients there’s a very strong chance you’ll get flashback – especially if you bake with it! HD powders use silica because it’s silky smooth and makes your skin look poreless and beautiful, so, by all means, If you use the slightest amount, you could get away with it, but be sure to do a quick flash test before you leave the house.

Day 2

Look 1
Designer: Next Generation

Welcome to the dark side with New Generations latest collection. With a gothic look to match their beautiful dark stain clothing,  make up by illamasqua to create this look.

We had a light base of foundation to give the clear clean skin look, very light contour just to highlight the cheek bones. On the eyes we used a sliver shimmer to the inner corner of the eyes, taking this to the base of the eyelid, up to the brow bone and gradually taking a darker shade in the eye crease for a bit of contouring, we also took the sliver shimmer under the eye and one light coat of mascara only of the top lashes.
For the lips we took a deep purple to finish off the gothic look.

Look 2
Designer: Jeans Couture

With Jeans Couture funky edgy style we took peach and bronze tones to the eyes.  On the lids we used a peachy bronze across the whole lid, we used a darker tone to bring the colour up to the brows. One coat of mascara on the top lashes. We kept the bottom lash line mascara free with a light sweep of peach pigment. For the lips we had a beautiful plum colour to compliment the bright eyes.  For the cheekbones we took a shade of rouge to match the lip colour.  The base was a matte clean finish.

Look 3
Designer: Laquan Smith

With deep shades of red, black latex and sexy thigh high boots for this collection, we went for the oh so seductive look.

We had to get the make up done before the gorgeous models got their hair done so we had no time to lose. The look was very similar to Jeans Couture. We change the eyes slightly making the colours more pinks rather than bronze, we blended the shade more and didn’t take it as high as the brow bone, using the same technique  to sweep slight pink pigment along the bottom lash line. With the lips we chose a slightly less blue undertone for a lighter shade.  We contoured the cheeks more and high

Look 4
Designer: Laura Macini

Laura Macini create a beautiful Egyptian look for her beautiful evening gowns.

We bronzed the base up a bit for this look, contouring and highlighting the cheekbones and forehead.  We kept the eyelid clean from colour using vaseline to create a beau tile sheen, used liquid liner on both the top and bottom lash line to elongate the eyes. For the lips we took  a light blush shade to finish off the look.

 

 

Arab Fashion Week Day 2

Look 5
Designer: Ilse Jara

A complete eye change for this look compared to Laura Macini. Eyeliner came off and the gold was packed on. We kept the base very light and clean with just a very slight bronze for a cheekbone contour but the  main focus was the eyes. We smashed heavy gold pigment from the top lashliene to the brows, smudging some vaseline on the lids as well for extra sheen.  Lips we took pinky nude colour and kept lips matte.  The hair stylist finished the look off by sweeping the hair back off the models face, this look is amazing on the catwalk as all the lights really shows the gold on the models eyes.
