Day 2 at Maquillage Professionnel School of Makeup Artistry

Now is our 2nd day here at Maquillage Professionnel School of Makeup Artistry. And honestly, I can say that if I will watch another makeup tutorial on YouTube, there’s a big chance that I will be able to understand already what the speaker is trying to say (unlike before that I feel so dumb not deciphering what the YouTuber is trying to say. LOL).

Anyway, today what we’re going to do is basic full makeup but now we’re going to focus on dry contouring which is easier for newbies like me. It supports what we’ve learned on our Day 1 at Maquillage Professionnel which is more on 1. skin tone correction, 2. facial shape correction using the wet method of contouring and, 3. eyebrow shape correction.

So now we will be completing the way on how to put on makeup. Here ways on how to do it in order.

1. Primer/Makeup base

2. Correctors (if needed)

3. Foundation

4. Concealer (skin tone correction)

5. Liquid concealer (under eye area)

6. Loose powder

7. Contour/highlight (dry method)

8. Eyebrows

9. Blush

10. Lips

Here are also some of the tips that I got during the class:

• For thin lips, use nude colors to make it look bigger. At first, I never understood as to what “nude color” meant. So if you have the same dilemma like me, here is a nice description:

In fashion, the word is most often used to describe a shade that is a little darker than champagne, lighter than sand and perhaps with a hint of blush or peach. By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP fashion writer.

Here are some nude lipsticks that you might want to reconsider:

• To avoid confusion and to avoid overdoing your makeup, always make sure that you have a FOCAL POINT. It means that only one part of the face must stand out. So it’s either your eye makeup or your lips that must stand out but never both.
• Strokes of brushes must be going down so as not to emphasize the facial hair from protruding. Now it is different when you do beauty regime wherein you are asked to do stroke in a circular or upward motion. Well, that’s another story.
• Use the angled brush in doing the dry contour. I think there’s a need for me to include this tip because I have no idea that an angled brush has a different use from the blush brush. LOL

• In doing the blush, make sure that it is proportion with the face. The rule of thumb is it must be above the nose and the apples of the cheeks. But according to the blog www.realsimple.com:

A frequent makeup mistake: adhering too literally to that old adage about putting blush on the apples of your cheeks. The clown-like rounds of makeup that can result flatter no one. Another no-no: brushing on blush too far below the cheekbone, which visually pulls down the face, making you look jowly.

• In doing the lips:
  • Lip liner – start with the lower lip by starting at the middle part of the lower lip going outside. Next, do the upper lip by starting from the outside of the lip going inside the arch of the lips. It is also a lifehack if you fill the lip with lip liner too so when the lipstick fades away, there’s still a stain on the lips.
  • Lipstick
  • Gloss
