Laila Hamidi : Make up Practical week 2.

Make up Practical.

Week 2.

Base and Concealing.

Equipment-

Preparing.

Consultation. Check skin type so you can decide which foundation. (Men- better to use tinted moisturiser as they are more textured and foundation can make them look flat.)
Cleanse, tone moisturise and remover eye make up.
Mix colours to match skin tone. Do not double dip, take with spatula and mix on hand
Put small amount on side of the face jaw line to see if colour is correct. You should not be able to see if once blended slightly if you are going for a natural look.
Conceal on top of the base, not before.
Pay attention to corners of nose, eyes and mouth as redness if common. Those areas tend to repel make up.
Pink tones get rid of blueness in the skin.
Peach tones get rid of yellowy browns.
Green tones get rid of redness.
Mix primer in with base. Matte is completely matte. Satin gives a slight glow.
If you use powder blusher put on after you powder. If you are using a grease blusher put on before you powder.

Base and concealing.

Start in the centre of face and work outwards in circular motions, with brush or sponge.
Make sure to cover all skin. Right up too lash line, ears, under a fringe.
Don’t forget neck! Take off gown and put couch roll in t-shirt and take the base down.
Conceal areas with smaller brush that need it. Light dabbing motions. Don’t forget, corners of nose, under eyes, corners of mouth etc.
Powder t-zone with puff. Use brush for the rest of the face.

Evaluation- Practical went well. Need to work on mixing colours of foundation as first attempt was a bit pale.
