The Ultimate Makeup Course - Emily Watson
Part One
(Basic)
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
Women are either intrigued with or mystified by cosmetics, but most are interested in learning more about makeup and how it can transform a face. All women really want the same thing: to look like themselves, only prettier and more confident.
1_1What is makeup ?
Makeup is hugely versatile, not only in terms of colours and products, but also in terms of how it is worn. While some wear makeup to create a large and dramatic appearance, others will wear makeup more subtly. makeup can be worn in a wide variety of situations, ranging from work, events, nights out, and even just round the house if you so desire. As a result of such diversity, the makeup industry is massive, meaning that everybody should be able to find products that they would want to wear and be seen sporting.
However, the way that makeup is applied varies very little between situations. Most makeup artists follow the same routine, designed to optimize the length of time that the makeup lasts when worn. This routine dictates that first, before you even apply a drop of makeup, you should ensure that your face is clean and washed. makeup will survive better on a clean face, free from natural oils. Make sure too that your eyebrows are shaped how you want them to be, and are free from any stray hairs.
1_2Next, focus on your skin. Apply liquid foundation, and then concealer. Next, apply loose powder to ensure that your skins is completely matt. Concealer can vary in when it is applied, and can be applied after the powder. Finally, you can apply blusher to your cheeks. Once your skin is looking perfect, you can move onto your eyes. First apply your chosen eye shadow, or eye shadows, and blend this if needs be. Once you eye shadow has been applied, move on to eye liner, be that liquid or pencil. If you want to use eyebrow pencil, this can follow the eye liner. To finish your eyes, use mascara to complete the look. Finally, you come to your lips. If you are using lipstick, first apply lip liner, and then apply the lipstick. Lipstick is usually that last make-up product that is applied due to its more delicate nature.
1_3Of course, this routine will vary from person to person, and some may prefer not to stick to it at all. This routine is simple a suggestion in how best to apply make-up. Try to apply the bases of the make-up first, such as foundation or eye shadow, as not only will they last longer, they will also dictate how other products will be added. More delicate products should be applied last, such as blusher, as they will not survive other products being added on top of them. These basic rules of make-up will help you to get the most from your make-up, and ensure you are looking perfect.
History of Makeup
From the copper and lead ore that the ancient Egyptians used to create the world's first cosmetics to the scientifically advanced products of today that can do everything from hide pores, smooth complexions, and turn the pale green of your eyes a vivid shade of emerald, makeup has been an integral part of humankind for thousands of years. Over the centuries, women used burnt matches to darken their eyes, berries to stain their lips and young boys' urine to fade their freckles. They even swallowed ox blood in some misguided attempt to improve their complexions.
1_4Women throughout history put their health at risk with many of their homemade cosmetics. In some cultures, for example, women used arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves the pale appearance deemed beautiful in the old days. Thankfully, we've come a long way from the days of using toxic and deadly mixtures to enhance our looks.
Today's multibillion dollar cosmetic industry must meet strict government regulations about what it can and cannot include in products and must follow safe manufacturing guidelines. Today, the most serious injury you're likely to receive from your cosmetics is an irritation or a rash from using a product that's too harsh for your skin. Yet, despite decades of safety testing and a safety record unparalleled in many industries, there are many myths circulating about the dangers of cosmetic ingredients.
Classification of Makeup
Makeup can be classified into three categories: everyday, medical and theatrical. These categories include items that improve the appearance of or highlights the face, eyes, lips or nails. Some are designed to be used with other makeup.
Several makeup categories exist. The most common group includes everyday products worn to enhance natural appearance. Some items also fall into the medical category and are used for things like covering scars or reducing the visibility of rashes. The last group is theatrical, television and film makeup, which actors and actresses use so their features look better in bright or harsh stage lights. Within each of the three general classifications, individuals may use products designed for facial skin, the eyes, lips or nails, including lipstick, foundation, blush, mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner, nail polish and complimentary products.
Chapter 2
MAKEUP EQUIPMENTS
Whether you’re a minimalist whose makeup kit rarely holds more than a lipstick and powder or a working makeup artist who routinely totes around a complete collection of cosmetics, it takes a plan.
2_1MAKEUP KITS
Home Makeup
Organize your makeup either in your bathroom drawer, on top of the counter, or in a box. Keep basics and items used only occasionally separate. At least twice a year make sure your colors and formulas are working. Basics include:
Concealers and correctors
Foundation or tinted moisturizer
Powder (two colors)
Eye shadow (three to four basic colors)
Eyeliner (powder and gel)
Mascara
Blush (powder or cream)
Lipstick, gloss, lip pencil
Everyday Bag
For everyday collect following essentials in a small bag:
One or two palettes that contain your foundation, concealer, blush, and lip color
A compact of pressed powder with a mirror
A basic eye palette—the smaller the better
Mini mascara
Lip gloss
Mini brushes
Small sample sizes of face cream
Evening Bag
Tiny purses don’t lend themselves to toting around lots of products, so you need to be selective. Pack the following items:
Lipstick or gloss
Lip pencil
A powder compact
Customizable face palette (containing concealer, foundation, blush)
Mini perfume
Breath mints
In Your Desk Drawer
It’s worth investing in duplicates of your makeup to keep in your office to freshen up before a big meeting or for reapplying if you need to go straight out after work. These basics include the following items:
Concealer
Foundation
Pressed powder (with mirror)
Blush
Lip balm, lip color, and/or gloss
Black eyeliner and white or silver eye shadow to create an evening eye
Mini brushes
Travel toothbrush and toothpaste set
In Your Gym Bag
After a workout, you will want to clean your face and start your makeup from scratch. So be sure to bring the following items to the gym:
Face-cleansing cloths
Moisturizer
Customized face palette, or at least a tinted moisturizer, lip color or gloss, and mascara
For Travel
Keep your travel kit packed at all times so you never have to worry about arriving somewhere only to realize you’ve left something important in your bathroom cabinet. Invest in several small plastic bottles, label them, and fill them with your essentials. Purchase mini brushes, mascara, and a small eye palette. Include the following items:
Travel-size shampoo and conditioner
Body and facial moisturizers
Makeup palettes with all your basics
Mini mascara
Face powder, bronzer (great for the travel weary)
Self-tanner
Lipstick or gloss
A brush roll of travel-size brushes
Tweezers
Hairbrush and hair spray
Perfume in a mini or compact version
Perfumed body creams are also great
Tip:- Collect deluxe samples from makeup counters-they are perfect for travel.
ESSENTIAL TOOLS
Brushes make all the difference in makeup application. Everyone from the most skilled makeup artist to the woman who wears only the basics can benefit from using the right tools. Consider investing in at least a few key brushes. High-quality blush, eye shadow, eyebrow, and eyeliner brushes are basic. Good brushes are not hard to find. Look at those made by makeup artists’ lines as well as less expensive versions available at beauty and art supply stores. To find out which brushes you need and which ones are good quality, familiarize yourself with a variety of styles, shapes, and bristle types.
Assessing Brush Quality
Before purchasing brushes, you have to know what you are looking for and which brushes are worthwhile investments. Assess the quality of a brush by testing the way the bristles feel against the skin and by running your fingers through the bristles to make sure that they don’t shed. It’s important to test how a brush feels when you hold it in your hand. It needs to feel comfortable and easy to maneuver.
2_2Brush Size:-
The brushes that come with most makeup compacts are too small and narrow for proper blush application. Toss them and use a brush designed specifically for that purpose instead.
Natural Bristles:-
Natural bristles (such as squirrel, goat, pony, or sable) are very soft and offer a more blended, natural application. They’re best for working with powder-based products—blush, powder, and eye shadow.
Synthetic Bristles:-
Synthetic bristles are the best choice for brushes that will be used with creamy products, such as concealer, gel liners, and lip colors. They are generally stiffer than natural hair, so they give you greater control and a more precise application.
Tool Guide
This alphabetized glossary describes the different types of brushes as well as other tools you might want to keep in your kit. It will help you decide what brushes work best for a specific need or technique.
Blush Brush:-
This needs to be wide enough to cover the apple of the cheek. The bristles should be soft, natural hair with beveled and curved edges.
2_3Bronzer brush:-
This is thicker and fuller than a blush brush and has a flat profile. It is designed for sweeping and pressing bronzer over cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin to provide natural-looking warmth to the skin.
2_4Brow Brush:-
A brush with stiff, short bristles cut on an angle. Designed for applying shadow to the brows. Look for a synthetic/natural blend of bristles, as the 100 percent synthetic brushes are too stiff and don’t deposit color as effectively.
2_5Brow Grooming Brush:-
