01 – Start discovering the skin undertone
Yes, the skin undertone has to do with the skin temperature, which is its predominant color background, and it’s from it that all product decisions and choices are made.
The undertones are Neutral, warm, cool, and olive. The neutral undertone accepts both warm and cold tones. The warm undertone harmonizes better with the warm tones, the cool undertone with the cool ones respectively, and the olive goes well with both warm and cool tones.
02 – Put your talent in the skin preparation
Unlike personal makeup or self-makeup, professional makeup requires a more elaborate ritual in skin preparation, both in pre-makeup, where we apply moisturizer, primer, mist, among other products to make the skin lush, it is still necessary to make corrections and camouflage which may involve the use of colored concealers such as coral or orange for example, which is normally used to camouflage sun spots or brownish or purplish dark circles.
03- Enhance the strengths and minimize the weaknesses
Through the techniques of contour and highlight, also known as contour and lighting, it is possible to both highlight the strengths of the face and minimizes the weaknesses.
Light tones enhance and give volume ilusion, while dark tones hide and add depth.
04- The eyebrows are the frame
The eyebrows have the role of framing the look and bringing expression to the face. Whether to correct flaws, complete spaces or even highlight what is already beautiful, it is very important to pay special attention to them. Eyeshadows, pencils, eyeliner, fixing waxes and other products and textures can be used to give that necessary boost to the eyebrows.
My tip is: respect the natural design of each customer’s eyebrow and use the makeup only to highlight it. Because an eyebrow with a lot of makeup can weigh the expression and even overshadow the beauty of the entire face.
05- The eyes are the apex
One of the most striking and interesting characteristics in professional makeup is undoubtedly the shadows elaborated with perfect finish, smooth and attractive gradients, opaque or super bright.
The smudging of the shadows, the perfect transition between colors and even the perfectly precise features are strong characteristics that that makeup was prepared by a competent professional.
Isn’t necessary to exaggerate, but the little you do, do it with cleanliness, leaving the finish as perfect as possible, without dirt or stains, both in the smudge and on the skin.
Always choose lashes that do not exceed the size of the eyes, so that they do not leave the look heavy and drooping, and that above all they are not too long or too bulky so that they do not cover the entire shade.
06- Don’t forget to highlight and put some color on the face
Illuminating the strategic points of the face creates a sense of dimension, enhance, adds freshness and brings a more glamorous and refined appearance to the look.
If the skin is dry, try the liquid and creamy versions on the high points of the face, for mixed and oily skins the compact powder versions of the product are more recommended to avoid the production of oiliness.
Finish with a blush of natural and harmonic effect for the skin and for the makeup proposal, according to even the time and occasion. If it is daytime, make it lighter, and if it is for the night, you can accentuate it a little more, since the product tends to soften over the hours.
07 -The lips are the grand finale
After the whole process of makeup of the skin, eyes, eyebrows, having applied blush, highlighter and all the other products, it’s time to finish with the choice of the perfect lipstick for the proposal.
The lips can not “fight” with the rest of the look, but rather complement, so if you make a very eye-catching smoky, opt for softer and more natural tones on the lips.
If you are thinking of using a red lipstick or wine, for example, make your eyes softer, choosing shades with less depth.
I hope that the post “07 Secrets for a perfect professional makeup” has helped you to unveil a little of the process of elaborating a professional makeup.
