Use the Right Makeup for You

Not all makeup is made the same and neither are people! This means that you need to experiment with different kinds of makeup to find what is best for you and your skin.
For example, many people love to use waterproof eyeliner or mascara, and for good reason! It’s long-lasting and looks great! However, if improperly removed, it can damage your lashes and the delicate skin around your eyes. Another issue to consider is if your skin has some kind of allergic reaction to the makeup you use. A puffy face won’t be hidden by even the best of concealers!

Tips for Dry Skin

Use liquid of cream makeups to help hydrate dry skin and create a more beautiful look. Using matte or dry makeups don’t work very well for dry skin because it clings to all of the dead skin and can make it look like you rolled your face in corn flakes!

Tips for Oily Skin

Oily skin is dealt with opposite of how dry skin is dealt with. The last thing you need is more moisture! Use dryer makeups with matt finishes to reduce the natural oily shine of your skin. If you use a moisturizing makeup you might end up looking like a porcelain doll!

Tips for Combination Skin

Some people have the challenge of working with combination skin, which is skin that is oily in some parts and dry in others. If this sounds like you then it’s important for you to experiment with the best way to care for and make up your skin. Use makeup for oily and dry skins as needed, and try out different combinations until you find what is healthy and beautiful for your skin.

Pointers to Avoid Makeup Mistakes

While makeup isn’t bad for your skin, there are some things you can do to harm your skin if you’re not careful. Following these tips will make sure that your skin stays healthy and clear!

Always Clean Your Face

The most common negative side effect from wearing makeup is acne, and nobody wants that! Cleaning your face daily can provide a few benefits if you regularly wear makeup. First of all, makeup applies better to clean and moisturized skin, so you will look better right away if you keep your face clean. Second, you should always wash the makeup off your face at the end of the day! If you leave makeup on overnight it can sink into your pores and increases the risk of creating pimples!

Don’t Sweat it!

This tip is a minor one, but make sure you never ever exercise with your full makeup on! A little bit of skin oil is normal for everyday wear and tear, but sweating excessively while wearing makeup can dramatically increase your risk of a breakout. You don’t need to get all of the makeup off of your face, but you can simply use a makeup-removing moist towelette before hitting the treadmill.

Do Some Research!

Just like the ingredients in your food, you should know about the ingredients in your makeup. Most makeup sold in stores in the United States are heavily regulated by the FDA to ensure that there are no dangerous ingredients. Sometimes however, new studies may reveal links between certain ingredients and negative side effects. In cases like that it’s up to you to decide if something might be dangerous to use.

What is Esthetics?

Estheticians are the ones who give facials and skin care treatments, yes, but as part of becoming one you will also learn about how to do makeup on a professional level. If you want to make a career out of your passion for makeup artistry, getting licensed in esthetics is a great avenue for doing this.

What Will I Learn?

If you dream of a career in makeup, and you’re looking to get an education, the esthetics program at Robert Fiance Beauty School covers a variety of topics, including makeup. 150 hours are spent learning about the necessary skills to become a makeup professional, which is more than almost all other topics. This means that makeup is a big part of esthetics.

Another important thing that the esthetics and makeup artistry program covers is the business and professional side of working in the beauty industry. Learning about these topics will play a big role as you try to build a career in the beauty industry as an esthetician and makeup artist. Understanding the importance of networking, resume building, and portfolios all can help you be more successful and find more opportunities for employment.

Where Can You Work?

You may ask, “Once I complete the esthetics and makeup artistry program at Robert Fiance, where can I actually work?”

Makeup artists who are licensed in esthetics can hold down a variety of jobs and work in many different places. Some of the places that estheticians and makeup artists are known to work include:

• Fashion Shows Have you always dreamed of working behind the scenes on the runway? Skilled makeup artists are definitely part of the team that gets the models ready for the catwalk.
• Movie Sets Actors and backup cast members of movie and theater sets need makeup help. Applying makeup to create characters and help actors prepare takes special knowledge and skills.

• Weddings Weddings are a great place to work for makeup artists. Brides-to-be and bridesmaids need a makeup pro on the special day.
• Photoshoots Anytime there is a photographer, there should be a makeup artist. Doing makeup for a photoshoot can be an exciting job or can be a great side gig.
• Makeup for the Seasons The holiday season is approaching which can be a busy time for makeup artists. Haunted houses are a good example of a seasonal job for makeup artists.
