Conceal!

• Dab concealer lightly over blemishes/discolouration to create a balanced look, in this instance the concealer enhances the foundation • Concealer can be used to create illusions • Apply concealer to the bridge of the nose to make it appear thinner.

• To create a nude lip apply a small amount of foundation to the lips then add a clear/sheer or slightly tinted gloss WWW.THISISMINK.COM

C

Blend!

• Buff the foundation into the skin with your blending brush to create a flawless and natural finish • Blend the concealer into the skin so there are no tell tail lines • Ensure blushers/bronzers are blended evenly so they enhance the face naturally, remember you are creating a bridal look not a catwalk look • Always blend upwards as when you are working with colours you want to lift the face not create the appearance of “Sagging” • If you use more than one colour eye-shadow ensure there is no separation between the two, they should merge smoothly. Cotton buds can be used as an eraser to correct mistakes.

Layer!

• Apply a matching powder on top of the cream or paint to increase its staying power and for greater colour intensity • Apply cream or paint over eye shadow to quickly change a makeup look – higher maintenance is required as paints and creams do not last as long as powder products • Paints and creams are also useful for creating patterns as they are easy to apply, however more maintenance is required as colour can run and colour intensity will not last • Paints are great for fashion/editorial makeup but not practical for everyday wear.

61

E

Powder!

• Translucent powder is designed to set makeup. However makeup artists can also use it for quick makeup changes • Dust a very generous amount of powder over the face to diminish the makeup – great for reducing blusher and highlight & contour applications • Next apply the replacement colours as required • Applying translucent powder over the first layer of lipstick will seal a layer of colour and hold onto the second layer helping it to last longer • Applying a thick layer of translucent powder under the eyes will catch any eye-shadow drop down. Just dust off the powder when you are finished • Apply translucent powder on the eyelids as part of the preparation for eye-shadow. The translucent powder will seal the lids and prevent the natural oils from creasing the eye-shadow.

F

Look!

• Just as a painter would do, make sure you continue to look at your work • Move around your client when working on their look, leaning across them to work on the opposite side of the face will not enable you to create a balanced finish • Step back and look at the make up from a greater distance, you will get an overall perspective and a better idea if you need to correct anything • It is so important to look at the make up during every stage of the look so that if you feel something is not working you can alter it.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

63

G

Listen!

• Listening to your client is as important as having the technical skill to create their look • Remember there are a lot of things to take into account when doing make up for a Film or for TV • A presenter’s make up needs to be in keeping with the style of the show they are presenting, i.e. subtle for a weather girl and glamorous for something like the X-Factor. You need to talk to them about what they want, ask them what they are wearing. You are more likely to be asked back if you have a good rapport with your client • For a Film or TV programme you need to stick closely to the brief and check with the MD (Make Up Designer) or AD (Assistant Director) that what you are doing is correct.

Tips - Natural makeup

• Apply makeup in layers and step back and check the look often • Always check makeup in natural light • Fuller brushes provide a more natural application • Mix makeup with creams or lotions to create your own sheer look • Blend, blend and blend some more • Use separate brushes for different colours and makeup type.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

65

Tips - Glamourous makeup • Apply makeup in layers and step back and check the look often • Powder puffs are great for perfect matte finishes • Eyeliner and false lashes will add drama • Go for a bold lip colour • Red lips - warm reds contain yellow and have more of an orange to brick hue. Cool reds contain blue and look more intense, especially on pale skin. They’re also more of a statement, so should be worn with a light eye. Neutral reds, are true clear reds, usually the brightest reds, however they look soft on the face • Choose lighter shades of red if you are working on mature skin.

Contouring & highlighting

• Contouring techniques are employed to balance the face shape and to enhance features • Contouring makeup means using the art of chiaroscuro (painting with light and shade) to create the illusion of reshaping and sculpting the face and features • When applying shadows and highlights to the skin it is important to ensure there is a significant tonal difference between them and the base colour, otherwise they will be lost.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

67

Shading • Shading is the blending of a makeup shade darker than the foundation or skin tone in order to diminish a feature • A large nose could be shaded at the sides to make it appear thinner • A double chin could be made less obvious by shading underneath the jaw line • Generally a correct colour selection will involve shifting two or three shades down the tonal range of the foundation or skin tone, ensuring that you remain within the correct underlying skin colour • Bronzers or tinted powders can make useful shaders.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

68

Shading Common areas for shader application: • Hollows under the cheekbone • Just below the inner corner of the eyebrow • Cleavage • Under the chin • Socket line of the eye • Hairline • Sides and tip of the nose • Temples • Hollows of the collarbone.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

69

Highlighting • Highlighting is the blending of a makeup shade lighter than the foundation in order to accentuate a feature or facial plane • A correct colour selection will involve shifting approximately three shades up the tonal range of the foundation or skin tone, ensuring that you remain with the correct underlying skin colour • As with shading the application will require careful blending • Iridescent powders can be useful highlighters.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

98

Ethnic Bride • Ethnic Bridal falls into one of two categories: modern or traditional. The modern bride has a sleek, natural look, similar to classic/traditional bridal makeup. For a traditional look, the bride will typically wear a cultural African dress and head wrap so the eye make-up must be colour matched accordingly, as you would in an Asian Bridal look • Key aspects of an Ethnic Bridal Look are: – Matte, glowing skin – Flawless highlighting and contouring – If traditional, colour coordinating

• Discuss with your bride which style of wedding she is having • Vibrant colours are often used, particularly in traditional weddings • For both Ethnic Bridal categories, avoid high shine make-up – opt for a soft, matte look instead. This can be achieved by using powder make-up products instead of creams, which can turn greasy after a full days’ wear • Don’t forget eyelashes!

Take a closer look

A coloured eyeliner adds subtle definition to the eyes, purple is a great colour to use with green eyes. Instead of using liner on the bottom lid use an eyeshadow, it will add a soft drama to the look.

A hint of colour from a lip tint with a slight shine creates a fresh natural look as well as keeping the lips moisturised

Take a closer look

The colour intensifies in this corner .

Brown creates drama in a more subtle way.

Golds and bronzes add sparkle and glamour to a bridal look.

Celebrity Influences Filling in the brow and defining the shape frames the eye. Use a natural colour a shade or two darker than the brow hair.

A liquid liner defines the shape of the eye adding drama to the look. The continuation of the eyeshadow under the eye as well as the touch of sparkle are little touches that emphasis e the beauty of the look.

Celebrity Influences The gold is a complementing contrast and would also go with the brides jewellery.

Colour is key in Asian Bridal make up. Here blue is the principle colour which probably is the main colour of the sari.

The lips are lined to define the shape, the edges are neat and precise. Lipstick is used to add colour then a gloss to finish which adds sparkle and shine.

The skin is flawless and blusher is used to contour and sculp.

• When applying makeup to mature skins it is important to be very gentle and to avoid dragging the skin tissue.

Factors influencing makeup for mature skin

Sagging contours

Loss of natural colour in the lips, face & hair

Prone to hyperpigmentation

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

Drier skin type

Wrinkles

115

Over 40s • Make sure client exfoliates before treatment so skin is smooth and less lined • Use a rich moisturiser • Using a pre-base product can often temporarily reduce eye bags or temporarily lift and tighten the skin. One such product is Clarins Beauty Flash Balm • Use a cream foundation that will help to nourish a drier skin type • Ensure the foundation does not settle in lines and wrinkles by blending carefully and using a tapping motion over the surface • Don’t try to cover all the freckles, age spots, fine lines or discolorations • Keep the base matt: shimmery products can accentuate skin imperfections • Make sure your face powder is matt, silky, fine and light.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

116

Over 40s • Apply just the lightest dusting of powder on the centre of the face (not around the eyes, where lines are all too easily emphasised) • Sagging jaw lines, double chins and hooded eyes can be reduced with the use of contouring makeup • Cream blushers work well on dry, mature skin types.

Apply cream blush over foundation and then lightly dust on face powder. A touch of powder blush can be applied on top for added definition • Generally, more natural colours are an excellent choice • Do not over-highlight the brow bone as this can accentuate a ‘hooded’ eye shape.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

117

Over 40s • Grey eyebrows can be strengthened using pencil or powder • When applying eye makeup you may need to lift the brow to remove creases from the eyelids to ensure an even application of shadow and eyeliner. Use multidirectional brush strokes to ensure all the tiny creases are filled with colour • Eyeliner is useful for defining the eyes but make sure the effect is soft and smoky rather than hard and harsh • A strong red lipstick with white or grey hair pulled back from the face can look very classy, but it does not suit everyone and requires strong bone structure to carry it off.

The Groom’s Makeup

• Applying a little concealer, powder and lip balm is a great idea since they will be photographed as much as the bride • Use foundation or concealer on any trouble spots. Power very lightly. Buff off any excess • Even if no makeup is used, it is a good idea to swipe the face with a Witch Hazel wipe to remove oiliness and apply a light oil-free moisturizer and a dab of chap stick • Apply sunscreen for an outdoor wedding.

Hints and tips

• Apply Makeup Primer first. Skin looks smoother and makeup lasts longer • Use a sponge or fingers to press on and blend foundation • Always use powder if you are applying concealer but not using foundation • For powder, it is best to apply with a puff to set.

Next, dust with Loose Powder Brush to remove any excess. For a lighter finish, use the Brush.

Imperfect skin will benefit from using the powder puff to fill in and provide more coverage.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

137

Hints and Tips • When applying concealer to even out skin tone, use Flat Concealer Brush for wider areas, especially around eyes. Don’t forget the inner bridge of the nose close to the eye where it is dark • When using dark eye shadows, you should always start with a small amount of colour and add more as you go.

• For more control of eye shadow in smaller areas, use Angular Eye shadow Brush. For wider areas, transparency, and blending use Eye Shader Brush • Always brush eyebrows, use hairspray or a brow gel to hold shape.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

138

Hints and Tips • Especially with dark colours use a very good lip moisturiser first and blot away excess. This ensures smoother-looking lips • For longer wear and more intense finish, after applying lipstick, blot with tissue and reapply. Colour will last all day • For more casual-looking lips, sometimes leave out the lip liner • Blend, blend, blend. Brushes are necessary but feel free to use your fingers to finish blending.

• Do not apply the wrong shade of foundation • Do not forget to blend foundation into the neck • Do not apply a deep coloured bronzer on really pale skin WWW.THISISMINK.COM

139

Hints and Tips • Do not apply blush so that it leaves visible streaks on the cheeks. Blend it carefully.

• Do not apply too much shine all over the face. It’s not flattering.

• Do not use a lip liner that is visibly darker than the lipstick • Do not over tweeze the eyebrows into the wrong shape for the face • Do not apply too much lip gloss that it bleeds around the lips • Don’t be too serious; it’s only makeup!

• Remember just like any technique, makeup requires practice. If you don’t get it right the first time round, don’t stress.

WWW.THISISMINK.COM

140

Hints and Tips • Line lower lash line with eye shadow because it won’t budge like a pencil can • Set brow pencil with brow powder or face powder to get rid of the shine and to make it last longer • Put down loose powder under eyes before applying eye shadow to catch any fall out • Adapt the makeup to the model • Practice, practice, practice • Look, learn • Create relationships WWW.THISISMINK.COM
