Getting that flawless professional makeup look can be very costly. Especially when you actually need to hire someone. But there are many tricks of the trade that even amateur makeup lovers can apply today to get that polished look.
One Reddit user asked makeup artists to share their tips and they responded with tons of great advice. Check it out.
"Know how to blend. This means contour, eyeshadow, blush, highlight... any sort of color or accents on the face should look seamless," said Reddit user awkwoman.
"Know the purpose of the makeup. Different kinds for different things," advised Reddit user Saltwaterblood
That is so true. Oftentimes makeup looks too overdone at least from where I'm looking.
Therefore you need more tools in your arsenal.
"51% of your time should be prep. No exceptions. Skin needs to be taken care of before you put any color on it," said unicornzprancing. And I wholeheartedly agree.
Wow!
That's so interesting. I totally get that. My lips get so chapped.
"Knowing how to play off facial features other than your own," advised dublthnk. No single technique is going to work on everyone's skin so you need to experiment more.
"Having knowledge of what goes into products is a big concern for make-up artists. (ie. A client who is allergic to latex, they need latex-free products)," said SarahsArtistry.
Solid advice here.
It should all be about being subtle.
True indeed.
Great tip for that natural look.
Makes total sense to me.
I know that I've learned a ton from this.
