Makeup

Reading skin tone and face shape, using color and texture to create a look, from everyday to professional.

Makeup is the practice of understanding facial features and using color, texture, and tools to create a desired look. It begins with preparing a clean base after skincare, then progresses to completing everyday looks suited to your skin tone and face shape, creating dimension through contouring and color theory, designing professional makeup for events and photoshoots, working on clients and teaching others, and ultimately creating new makeup trends and techniques.
