What every new Makeup Artist needs to know.
When I first started my makeup artistry journey in 2012, no one told me that I would cry once a week for months. I did not want to give up because I am an optimist, but I did take an occasional pause once in a while. Makeup Artistry was like a bad romance that was too intoxicating to stop. Sis! By year one, I was like “GOD something is going to have to give.”. I started watching makeup tutorials for hours every day while balancing work and school. I got a little further with my skills but I still experienced flashback, foundation mismatching, eyelash displacement, and second cousins eyebrows. With all of that, I began to notice that I was doing “Instagram Makeup”. You know overdrawn eyebrows, caked up makeup, over highlighting and contouring.
I’m not saying “Instagram Makeup” is wrong? No, it is a form of makeup style just like editorial, print, runaway, and every category in the makeup industry. So, what I decided to do was focus on the fundamentals by answering…
· What products do I actually need for my kit?
· What is my budget?
· Where can I purchase them?
· What are the products?
· What each product is used for?
After finding out those answers I moved on to the next set of fundamentals of…
· Skin Types
· Foundation Matching
· Highlighting and Contouring
· Setting the face (Powder and Setting Sprays)
· Eyebrow
· Eyelashes
· Lip color
Then, I expanded upon each fundamental based on my demographic and their different facial features.
· Skin Types
· Dry, Combination, Oily
· Foundation Matching
· Highlighting and Contouring
· Setting the face (Powder and Setting Sprays)
· Lip color
After going through the process, I was able to understand what I needed to know and where did need to go from there. I hope this was helpful for you all, I think I'm going to make a series, what do you think?
