How to Highlight Your Client's Features when working as a Makeup Artist
As a makeup artist, it's important to know how to highlight your client's features. This will help you create a look that is both flattering and beautiful.
Here are a few tips on how to highlight your client's features:
Start with a clean, moisturized face. This is essential for any makeup look, but it's especially important for highlighting. A clean, moisturized face will help the makeup go on smoothly and last longer.
Use a primer. A primer will help the makeup to stay in place all day long.
Apply foundation. Apply foundation all over your client's face to even out their skin tone.
Highlight the cheekbones. To highlight the cheekbones, use a lighter shade of makeup to create a highlight along the cheekbones. Start at the top of the cheekbone and blend downwards towards the nose.
Highlight the brow bone. To highlight the brow bone, use a lighter shade of makeup to create a highlight along the brow bone. Start at the inner corner of the eye and blend upwards towards the temple.
Highlight the bridge of the nose. To highlight the bridge of the nose, use a lighter shade of makeup to create a highlight along the bridge of the nose. Start at the tip of the nose and blend upwards towards the forehead.
Highlight the Cupid's bow. To highlight the Cupid's bow, use a lighter shade of makeup to create a highlight along the Cupid's bow. Start at the center of the upper lip and blend outwards towards the corners of the mouth.
Highlight the inner corner of the eyes. To highlight the inner corner of the eyes, use a lighter shade of makeup to create a highlight along the inner corner of the eyes. Start at the tear duct and blend outwards towards the center of the eyelid.
Set the makeup with powder. Use a translucent powder to set the makeup in place.
Add blush. Blush can add a natural flush to the cheeks. Use a light blush that is in the same color family as your skin tone.
Apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes. Mascara is a great way to add length and definition to your lashes.
Apply lipstick or lip gloss. Lipstick or lip gloss will add a touch of color to your lips. Choose a shade that is natural and flattering for your skin tone.
Here are a few tips for highlighting your client's features:
Use a light hand. It's always easier to add more makeup than it is to take it away.
Blend, blend, blend! Blending is key to a natural-looking highlight. Make sure to blend your makeup well so that there are no harsh lines.
Use the right products. The right products will help you to create a natural-looking highlight.
Ask your client what they want. The most important thing is to ask your client what they want. Some clients may want a more natural look, while others may want a more dramatic look. By asking your client what they want, you can create a look that they will love.
With a little practice, you'll be able to highlight your client's features like a pro!
