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.

I am so so proud of them that I could cry! It always makes me so happy. I love my students!!
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.

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.
Here at Lipstick we always love to keep the team spirit going and keep the teams as tight as possible and learn together.
You can always advance yourself in any are of make up.
Contouring is really popular right now but what make up artists can learn more from is the creative applications.
This is all covered in Our Platinum Course that lasts for 6 weeks and you also leave with an International Diploma that will carry you through to start your journey into the world of Make Up.
Please just come in and see us to discuss anything or just for advice, we are always here to help and love to talk! Especially Liv about make up, she can talk for England.
Talk about passion, this girl was born with a mascara in her hand I think. I have never known anyone be so passionate about a shade of eye shadow or lipstick!
Once we went to a company to discuss using their Hollywood products in the school before we eventually decided on Kryolan, there was never really any competition with really but we had to be open to suggestions.
They showed us some samples and I had to leave her there as it was just not exciting enough for me, 3,5 hours later she calls me to pick her up!
So that Liv, The Eurasian Number one in the world for Fashion Hair And Make Up. Liv is our main teacher in the school so you will be taught by the best to be the best!.

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.

Lipstick is an essential part of almost every woman’s daily makeup routine. However, many women shy away from the red tones they find in the cosmetic aisle. Fortunately, you can pull off those brave shades with a little lipstick know-how. Here are ten dos and don’ts of wearing red lipstick:
1. WEAR DARKER FOUNDATION.
If you’re going to go bold with your lip color, you’ve got to have a complementary backdrop for your face. For those with lighter skin tones, it’s a good idea to choose foundations that will provide darker, olive bases. Red lips can be too much of a contrast against pale skin. The darker your lips are, the darker your foundation should be.
2.DON’T BE AFRAID TO BLEND COLOURS.
Do you like the look of red lipstick, but think it might be too loud for you? There’s an easy solution: customize your shade. Simply take a lighter hue like coral or mauve and blend it with that rose or burgundy you’ve been eyeing. The result will be a more muted tone that nearly anyone will be comfortable wearing.
3. USE IT FOR THE RIGHT OCCASION.
While everyone loves red, luscious lips, the look isn’t appropriate for every social situation. Some of the deeper shades can be a little jarring to people you run into at the gym or the kids’ soccer game. Likewise, you want everyone to be listening to your business proposal at that morning office meeting, not staring at your lips. Only paint your kisser red when you know you’re dealing with a fun, playful atmosphere, such as a night out with the girls. Then, you’ll be one step ahead in painting the town red!
4. DON’T OVER DO IT.
If you want to avoid all the lipstick smudges and stains, you can start by only applying a light coating to your lips. This is especially important for red lipstick since it’s easier to spot on teeth and collars. Rolling once or twice around your lips should be sufficient to achieve the desired effect. For even more control of your coverage, spread the lipstick using a lip brush. Just remember that a little dab will do you.
Although
Lipstick do’s and don’t
