This week was the Makeup Show in New York, followed by a ton of pro makeup artist classes offered by MAC as well as Makeup Forever. I did not atten the Makeup Show but I did participate in 2 Makeup Forever Classes. The one for "Makeup For The Red Carpet" was hosted by makeup artist Fabiola (http://thewallgroup.com/fabiola) and alot of great things were learned there.
When it comes to Red Carpet makeup, clients need to look beautiful in person as well as camera ready. Things need to be taken into consideration such as body makeup, covering tattoos, bruises, etc. You have to make your client glow, and almost look 3 dimentional. Ways to achieve this are by sculpting the face, contouring, hilighting etc.
One of the cool things I learned was using a waterproof black liner on the upper rim of the eye, and it adds an instant full looking lash base.
Generally with a bold red lip you want to keep the eye clean, and if the focus is on the eye, keep the lip tamed down. This is especially important for the red carpet.
To sum up essentials for a red carpet makeup look you will need:
Individual lashes
Makeup Forever HD Foundation
Sculpting kit
Bronzer
Body Makeup
and...
Shimmer!
