Questions to ask when getting a quote.

What products do they use? If they are quoting a high price, but are only use low end brands then they can’t really justify a high price. Those brands are great for colour and fun nights out, but just don’t have the longevity needed for a wedding day.

Do they do a variety of ‘looks’? You don’t want yourself and your bridesmaids and your mum to have ‘identikit’ makeup…!

What colours do they recommend for a bride? If they give you an answer, then don’t go any further!!!! How can they possibly know without seeing you and meeting you and getting to know you!!! You want to have makeup that suits YOU not what they think is right for all and every bride…!

If you choose to book a trial, book it for as close to the same time of day as you would be wanting it on your wedding day. There is no point having it done in the evening if you’re having a daytime wedding. You won’t know if it has lasting ability. Also, even in the height of summer, the light won’t be right.

Ask how long the trial should take. The answer should be around 2 hours.

Ask what happens at the trial. The answer should be that the artist will spend time getting to know you and your personality; she will want to know all about your wedding style and theme. If you’re having a lunchtime summery wedding with a floaty bridal gown, you won’t want full on glam makeup as though you were going to hit the town clubbing (unless of course that is your usual look and what you want!), and in the same token, if you are having a sophisticated elegant wedding, you don’t necessarily want to be sparkling all over your face (again, unless that is your chosen preference!)

When you book in a trial, try and get it as soon as possible. some of the concerns that I”ve heard recently are the following -

“I want to have a trial near to my wedding day in case I have a tan…”
Any decent makeup artist will have an array of foundation colours in her kit, so colour matching on your wedding day shouldn”t be a problem. if she got it right at your trial, she”ll get it right on your wedding day!

“What if the artist tells me to have a trial about 3-5 weeks before the wedding, and I end up not liking what she’’s done….?”

This is one of the MAIN reasons for booking in a trial as soon as you decide to have your makeup done.

what if you don”t like her?

how is she keeping your booking guaranteed for the wedding day?

Why is she not keen to get you trialled straight away???

Hopefully now you”re happy to book in a trial with a makeup artist… read on for what to expect!

Makeup Application for Holiday Makeup Look

It is important to start this look with foundation and concealer to create a flawless complexion. Remember to set the foundation and concealer with a light dusting of loose powder so that the base will help keep makeup on longer.

1. Start by applying the brown eye shadow to the upper lash line along the eyelid and blend into the crease below the brow bone.
2. Next apply the pink shimmer eye shadow to the top inner corner of the eyelid and blend with the brown eye shadow. The pink shimmer eye shadow will also be applied on the brow bone and to the inner corner of the bottom lashes.
3. Line the top lashes with the metallic bronze eyeliner, try to get as close to the lashes as possible. Line the bottom lashes as well but with a soft hand and blend with an eyeliner brush or a cotton swab.
4. With the black mascara, start by applying to the base of the lashes and wiggle the brush back and forth. This step will help add volume to the lashes. Then apply a second coat of mascara by holding the brush vertically and pulling the lashes out. This step helps add length to the lashes.
5. Apply the berry cheek color to the cheekbones. Start by applying a small amount and add another light layer if needed. It is better to start out light and add more than to have to try and remove too much blush.
6. Complete this look with the deep berry lipstick.

With the lips being the focus of this holiday look for African American skin it is important to bring along the lipstick for touch ups. Without it, the look will not be complete.

1. You can use a highlighter to brighten your makeup. A Highlighter Concealer covers critical areas such as shadows and lines resulting in a natural glow. Apply directly over blusher, mix with blusher, or use just above blusher and around the eyes. Also use under the eyebrows and a touch down the nose. This will significantly brighten the face. After the finish make-up use to cover circles under the eyes, sides of nose, corners of lips and hallows of the chin etc. Blend lightly with your fingertips and brush with powder. The Highlighter can also be applied first, let dry and then apply your normal make-up. For full eyes, use the Highlighter as an eye shadow by applying to the upper end of the eyelid.

2. The most important makeup products that should be used daily are concealer, eyebrow pencil, mascara, and lip color. Concealer will make you look less tired. Eyebrow color will give your eyes more character. Remember, you do raise your brows when you are surprised. Mascara will make your eyes appear larger than they are and more open. Lastly, lipcolor accentuates a lovely smile. Now you´re ready to greet the world.

3. A fresh and natural look in makeup would be wearing a tinted moisturizing cream, a light blush or bronzer for your cheeks, a light coating of mascara and lipgloss. Let your natural beauty show through!

4. Makeup Trick For Red Eyes Try cool cotton compresses with an alcohol free toner. Cucumber slices may be beneficial if you want to try a more natural method. Now for the makeup. Use a minimal amount. Play up your lips instead. Apply a neutral color eyeshadow. If you must wear mascara, opt for a waterproof type, in black or black brown. Skip the colored ones except for navy, which would whiten the whites of your eyes. Try a bright blue pencil below your lower lashes. This should do the trick.

5. “Pretty and sexy” comes from within as well as how you wear your makeup. Wear a minimal amount of makeup, i.e. blush, lipcolor, and mascara. Smile, have a friendly attitude, and you will glow..

6. For someone with copper colored hair, warm earth tones are best. For the eyes wear a bronze or gold eyeshadow with a teak eyeliner. Lipstick in a rust with a gold accent is very pretty.

7. For minor mishaps…Did you smear your mascara? Is your blusher or eyeshadow too dark or the wrong color? For a quick and easy spot removal, use a Q-tip dipped in makeup remover. It´s easy to get into a small area without having to start all over and it works great!

8. Benefits of Loose Powder To get a fresh-faced look with face powder, applying moisturizer then a concealer to lightly cover discoloration. Apply a neutral eye shadow and light coat of mascara. Blend a soft bronzer or neutral blush on your cheeks. Apply a light coat of loose powder. Finish with dewy lip gloss. Loose powder has many benefits compared to heavier pressed powder. Very light, loose powder will not seep into your pores as easily. Loose powder covers more evenly and creates a professional look. Loose powde can be used both day and night. You can apply loose powder several times without it looking caked on.

9. Cosmetics have “gone bad” if they smell funny or if the formula has separated or dried out. Be especially careful with products used near the eyes as this is a sensitive area. If you suddenly react to a product that you have used faithfully, there may be bacteria forming, and therefore you have a reaction.

10. Beauty consultants help customers choose cosmetics and show them how to use them. Beauty consultants should: be good at selling, be helpful, friendly and polite have some artistic ability and a gentle touch for applying make-up and giving and or discuss facials with their clients.

Use blackberry and copper color polish to darken your nails. It is perfect for the season and looks best on short, just-to-your-fingertips nails.

•  
  • Try colored mascara like navy, burgundy, and auburn that gives lashes a subtle color and some depth as well, without looking too obvious.
  • Winters calls for more defined eyes. So, you should use a chocolate brown or charcoal liner along your upper lashes.
  • It is a good idea to opt for neutral shades of makeup, such as light browns, grays, pinks and purples.
  • If you want to draw attention to only one area of your face during winter, it is best to put emphasis on your eyes. A smoky eye look will work well during this time of year.
  • Keep your lips moisturized in order to prevent them from becoming cracked and dry. It is a good idea to apply a lip-gloss throughout the day.
  • A bit of sheen on eyes can be used too for a change, especially if you are using nude shades on your lips.
  • Either your moisturizer or your foundation should have broad-spectrum sun protection.
  • A light, matt foundation as well as a tinted powder, with a slight shimmer, look great in winters.
  • For fragrance, it is best to stick to essence of essential oils, spices and other natural aromas.
  • Smokey eyes look best in winters. For sultry effect, you can use eye shadows in cinnamon and coffee shades.
  • A sheer layer of creamy blush-on can boost up the subtle makeup look that you adopt in winters.
  • Tinted lip balms, in honey, blackberry and red currant tones, look great in the winter season.

For the couple of seasons the main beauty trends were based on either accentuation on eyes or lips. But this fall is the time of a so called Total Look. It is a groomed, complete make-up often called a full make-up which derives from 1980s’. The main guideline is to accentuate both eyes and lips. Also remember about the background – make your skin look radiant and sweep over the apples of your cheeks with a cheek powder for an ’80s finish and natural flush.

BODY MAKEUP

With today’s revealing styles and naked legs, more and more women are using body makeup to cover up spider veins, freckles, nicks and bruises. (Don’t we all bump our legs constantly?) You may also want to use body makeup to even out your skin tone on your chest, legs, back or arms. If this is the case, remember that arms should match legs, and neck should match chest and back. It’s okay to use a sheer leg makeup (such as MAC’s Face and Body) a shade darker than your leg color if your arms are a little tan and your legs aren’t; but your legs should not be darker than your arms.

The key to making body makeup look real is: a) matching the color of your skin, and b) “setting” the makeup with powder. When covering a specific area of your skin that you would like to conceal, such as an age spot or spider vein, you need an opaque cream-based product for complete coverage. When you buy the body makeup, don’t forget to always buy the clear powder that is made to be used with it. Powder sets the makeup so that it won’t come off or smudge your clothing.

Applying the makeup is easy: Pat the concealer on the area you want to cover with a latex sponge, and blend into your skin; pat powder over makeup using a powder puff (you want to really saturate the area with powder); then brush off any extra powder with a wide, fluffy powder brush. You will need an oil-based remover to clean the makeup off.

With summer gone let’s say goodbye to colorful bikinis, light, very natural looking make-up with shining cheeks or no make-up at all.

Since each season dictates its rules and fashion trends, it is high time we obeyed the fashion rules of fall/winter 2009/2010 not only in terms of clothing but also in terms of make-up. We don’t wear make-up as a disguise to conceal our face, but as a way to accentuate the beauty and nuances of our beautiful face in the proper way.

It’s time to buy some new high-quality cosmetics and start experimenting until you find out which is the best for your facial features, such as the shape of your eyes.

The color-scheme of cosmetics makeup fall/winter 2009/2010 is full of contrasts. Surprising it seems that both smokey eyes and naked eyes are equally in fashion. Those who wish to achieve the smokey eyes effect (like Kristen Stewart) would better wear light lipstick ranging from light pink and slightly violet to a skin-fitting-hue or almost pale.

Also bear in mind that the shining cheeks that were so much in fashion in spring/summer 2009 have been replaced by matte finish cheeks. Remember that if you have chosen natural-looking eyes or the effect of naked eyes, red lips would convey a final touch to your look, making it both classic and feminine.

Eye shadows in rosy gold shades are also in fashion. Estee Lauder offers its Sensuous Gold Collection which fully completes the make-up trends of fall/winter 2009/2010, giving your eyes and skin a natural perfect look.

MAKEUP FOR A SPECIAL EFFECT

Mermaids are always a popular costume choice for women. Their sex appeal and mythical charm appeals to women and men alike. While there are a variety of ideas for mermaid makeup, to keep your look uniformed and most impressive, consider the rest of your costume prior to creating this fantasy look.

Most mermaid costumes include a metallic bikini top paired with a fish tail in varied sea colors. Long, wavy wigs complete the look, and the color of the wig and tail should help you in deciding how to do mermaid makeup for your mermaid style. If your wig and tail are accented with blue, you may decide to create dramatic eyes with an emphasis on these colors. If your hair is red or nymph-green, you can carry the look over to your mermaid makeup. Mermaid makeup is very similar to fairy makeup, in the way that the overall effect is fantastical and mythical. These looks are overly done and exaggerated, with the focus being on creating dramatic stage-worthy application techniques.

No matter the colors you choose to highlight from your mermaid hair and tail, make sure you invest enough time in your Halloween makeup application for the best results. Here are a few sea-worthy ideas and tricks to inspire your fantasy costume.

Sea colors: It only makes sense that a mermaid wears sea colors, so stick with an oceanic palette for your cosmetics. Blue, green, opal, oyster, and silver eye shadows will help to cast a watery and mysterious glow. While most cosmetic companies create an abundant selection of sea-worthy shades, Shiseido’s Hydro-Powder eye shadow has a texture that can’t be beat, and is available in a wide selection of oceanic colors; including Aqua Shimmer, Languid Lagoon, Clover Dew, Glistening Sand, and Green Exotique. You can layer the color as needed to create more saturated results.
Liner: To help create the look of large bat-worthy eyes, define and line both the upper and lower eye with a coordinating colored eye pencil. A dark blue liner, or a dark green liner will add a bold, yet dramatic line that is sure to stand out.
False lashes: Forget waterproof mascara and opt for falsies to create the most dramatic lash line. There are so many dramatic lashes in which to choose, and there’s no need to fret application. If you live near a major department store that carries the MAC line, head over to the counter and check out their handcrafted and designed fantasy false eyelashes. From crystal to feathers, Shu Uemura has the most exciting lashes in the industry, and the beauty representatives will even apply the lashes for you for best results!
Nude lips: While you may be a gal who opts for colored lips, you’ll have to forgo a dramatic pout to be truly sea-worthy. Instead of wearing traditional red or berry lipstick, stick with neutral, lip-tone colors and add shine with lip-licking glosses instead.
Blush: A bit of pink blush will help finish off your mermaid look. A simple rosy glow is all that’s needed to enhance cheekbones while imparting a healthy glow.
Glow: Every mermaid needs a bit of sparkle, so make sure you invest in a glow lotion or glitter powder to create a luminescent sheen on your skin. Add the sheen to cheekbones and eyelids to create a fantastical, ethereal shine.
