The Twenty Steps You Need To Know About Makeup Before You Can Be a Makeup Artist




First step
What is makeup:  makeup is any product or mixture produced or invented. Specifically to beautify or mske an illusion on the body makeup is also referred to as coloured product makeup are of two types: decorative makeup and care cosmetics. According to the U.S.FDA (regulatory body for cosmetics products in  U SA) makeup has been defined as Intended to be applied on the human body for cleansing beautifying promoting attractiveness or altering the appearance without affecting the body structure or function’ ( U.S.FDA excluded soap in this definition). And the types of makeup we have is NATURAL MAKEUP: process of applying colours on the model, to give a natural look. It is not targeted as making illusions or effects on the model, but just to beautify existing natural beauty. It shall be discussed further in the step seven as we go on. HALLOWEEN MAKEUP: usually scary costume-like, worn for Halloween and costume parties or for stage performance. THEATRICAL MAKEUP: this is strictly for the theaters or television drama (home videos). ENGAGEMENT MAKEUP: this is a makeup worn by brides for their traditional wedding. It will be discussed in further lesson. FASHION MAKEUP: for fashion shoe and runway BRIDAL MAKEUP: look made on bride’s face for her wedding day. And ERMANENT MAKEUP: this usually entails surgery or other medically-related from body enhancement process. It is usually done by cosmetologist or body enhancement expert in the medical sector. Model wears such makeup for long years or sometimes for the rest of their life.
Difference Between Makeup And Make Over: makeup is targeted at beautifying the body only (Especially the face) in a way that does not alter the natural features of the individual, but only enhance already existing beauty of the person or the model. An example of this is Bridal makeup, Engagement makeup, straight makeup and natural makeup. Make-over on the other hand entails that you alter the features of the client using your cosmetics and colour in order to suit a particular purpose. Makeovers suggest that you create mood facial expression illusions, characters, and personalities with your tools and products and most important your imagination which is in no way similar to the natural looks of the model e.g. making a man look like a woman, making an 18 years old girl on set look like 35 years old woman are example of makeovers.
