BEAUTY MAKE UP

Here are some perfect pairing for hair colors:

 Blonds - Blond hair looks great with pastel pink lip hues, as well as rich tomato-y-reds.

Brunette- Plum, nude and sheer lip tones all work best with dark hair.

Redhead - Red is a bold hair color, so use rosy lipsticks and lip stains that match your natural lip color.

BEAUTY MAKE UP

Breaking into the world of makeup artistry is not easy.  Many people go to school to become a makeup artist and some people are self taught.  Either way the competion is stiff.  So how do you get your name out there and get jobs?   Networking (through meet up groups, modelmayhem, facebook, etc.) is great and once you get some work and prove yourself more jobs will come but another great way is to market yourself using the internet.  I have seen it work for my husband.  He has great talent but he also has a great marketing tool, the intenet.  If you don’t have the money to create a web site (you know the saying, it takes money to make money), you can still market yourself on free web listing to get your name out there.  Most of these sites will allow you to create a profile, list some pictures and create coupons for discounts.  You can always upgrade to a more extensive listing for a fee.  That is up to you.  Some of the listing I recommend are:  showmelocal.com, merchantcircle.com, insiderpages.com and local.com.  Set yourself up on all of the sites and get your name out there, keep tweaking the sites and you will see results.

Good luck!

Avant Garde Eye Makeup: Avant garde, innovative eye make up looks are often showcased on the runway. These may be achieved with airbrushed or painted designs accentuating the eye area, dramatically emphasizing the eyes with color and dramatic lines, and/or use of highly unusual elements to create a distinctive look.

 Natural or Understated: On the other end of the runway spectrum, eye makeup sometimes gets underplayed in order to emphasize another facial feature, such as the lips or cheeks, or to reflect a more natural make up theme. More natural shades and shimmers may be used. The fresh-faced appeal of understated eye makeup is one that can easily be pulled off for every day with a flesh colored eye shadow, a brown or other medium neutral liner on the top eye, and two coast of mascara on curled lashes.

Period: Often reflective of the clothing inspirations, period makeup can play up the theme and revive eye makeup looks form eras past. Thick pin up girl eyeliner, eye-catching cat eyes, or bold blue shadow might appear.

Fantasy or theme: Fantasy and theme eye makeup is filled with imagination and places heavy emphasis on the eyes, making them dark, dramatic, or mysterious for the runway. Thematic elements may be incorporated into the ye makeup looks, such as heavy silver-toned glitter and shimmer shades for a winter show, or rich plum or mauve shades to create sultry eyes for a spicy sexy feel.
