Professional Tips for Makeup Artists
The Vendorfront team researched on the best tips for up-and-coming Make Up Artists and here’s what we found
- Brush the brows down before filling them in
This allows you to find the natural highest point so that you can avoid overfilling on the top
- Perfect that No Makeup Look
Apply liquid blush and then apply a light foundation like normal, this simple trick will amaze you with how natural and light it looks like in practice.
- Multi-Purpose blush, bronzer & more
Give it a try—your blush or bronzer can double as eyeshadow or vice versa, providing the added benefit of harmonizing your look.
- Foundation first, then concealer
Lisa Eldridge is famed for her technique of using her foundation first prior to using concealer, which avoids that “cake-face” look.
- Use a Q-Tip with Micellar Water
Want that lifted “wing” look for your eyeliner? Try using a Q-tip to sculpt it.
- Applying Makeup for others?
Keep track of your clients with notes that detail out looks that work best for them, adding that personal touch to your interactions will ensure you’re their go-to Make Up Artist.
