How To Create A Natural Makeup Look Biography
In October 2011, I began a make up artist course at the fantastic Artists@Play studio in Mt Hawthorn and it has been a fantastic experience!!! The teacher Dean, is so much fun and hilarious! He is a fountain of knowledge, pretty amazing for such a young guy. I would recommend this studio to anyone – they even have make up artists that do make up for weddings, including Dean himself.

So I really went into this course to really learn how to use the tools – I didn’t think I was too shabby with my own make up before, I just wanted to refine it and learn how to apply it on someone else. Turns out, I didn’t know anything! The school uses all MAC makeup – and let me tell you MAC has some great products, and tools – which I am slowly adding into my own tool kit.

Week 1 – was very much a theory lesson. Dean took us over a few basics of make up, including tools, caring for your brushes and the lay out of the studio. He showed us through his own make up kit – A-Mazing! It was such a good look into the life and style of a make up artist and got plenty of tricks of the trade…I’d have to kill you if I told you

Week 2 – was foundations. We went through coverage, texture, colour and application. We had our models come in and we did one side of the face as natural make up – dewy with cream blush, very light as if the model was not wearing any make up. The other one was more dramatic make up with thick caked on foundation and really contoured cheeks.

*Tip of the Week – Contour, contour, contour – dark colours on the face push in, light stands out. If you want to make your cheek bones stand out, apply a blush or bronzer 1-3 shades darker than your skin tone to the hollow of your cheek and blend out and up (this should be a matte, natural colour without shimmer), shaping underneath your check bones, you will automatically make your cheeks above the blush/bronzer lighter, making them standout. To increase this effect even more, you can apply a lighter blush, with shimmer if you like, to your cheek bones, as well as some shimmer to the tops of your cheek bones where light would naturally touch.

Week 3 – All about eyes and colour theory. Oh my goodness you could not imagine how many different types of eye shapes there are – close set eyes, wide set eyes, deep set eyes, deep creases, almond eyes (apparently these are the most perfect), eyes that stand out and large eyes and small eyes. It should be noted that these latter two eyes are only large or small in proportion to the size of the rest of the face. Using the theory of contouring and light and dark as above we learnt different ways to emphasise these different eye shapes. We also went over colour theory – wow that is some technical stuff, but SO interesting! I went straight home that night and downloaded a colour wheel app. On our models we did contouring eyes and we learnt the amazing ‘Smokey Eye’ – the technique.

Week 4 – Bridal Week. Turns out, these days there is no such thing as ‘bridal make up’. Brides these days are opting either more colour and ‘smokiness’ or for a very natural, no make up look. We went through all of the things we hadn’t done yet, such as applying false lashes including liquid eyeliner (*Tip of the week – it is much easier to use gel liner with an angle brush rather than runner liquid liner). I really enjoyed this week as my ‘bride’ and I decided that the focus of the look was going to be lips rather than eyes – she had quite a shock when she saw the bright pink lips, I was quite happy with it though – whilst learning at the school I’m really enjoying being able to experiment and play with colour.

Week 5 – Runway – we learnt all about Key Make Up artists and the do’s and don’ts of backstage at a fashion show and it sound SO EXCITING!! The looks that can be created back there – there are some fantastically creative make up artists out there. We watched a video on Pat McGrath – seriously mind blowing!

All of these lessons have been building up to our last week where we create 2 looks from scratch, from pulling all of the things we have learnt into two looks. One natural and one dramatic. Week 5 was our chance, in the spirit of runway, to ‘rehearse’ our dramatic look. My main thought with this look was – Dorothy’y sparkly, ruby red slippers from the Wizard of Oz – on my models lips and a yellow brick road in the look somewhere. You’ll have to come back next week to see the final looks..but here is a sneak peek…
