Your blending technique is about to get an upgrade.
Through bold lip colors and colorful eyeshadows, makeup gives anyone a chance to enhance his or her natural features while portraying a different side of his or her personality. But not anyone can just pick up a brush and eyeshadow palette and expect to create a perfectly blended look.
So, if you want to become a makeup professional, here are some ways you can learn to create the perfect makeup look for you.
If you’re looking to start learning about makeup but don’t want to spend the money that most makeup classes charge, YouTube is the perfect place to find makeup tutorials. Thousands of beauty gurus share their own beauty secrets on youtube through their channels. Most of these beauty vloggers are professional makeup artists or have worked at makeup stores such alike Sephora or Ulta so you can trust their tips and tricks. Beauty gurus like Jaclyn Hill take you through a one-on-one makeup tutorial. They break everything down for you, from what’s the best foundation for oily skin to how to blend your contour. Youtube is a great makeup class because you have the luxury of learning all things makeup for free and you can practice along in the comfort of your own space.
If you are more of a hands-on person than a visual learner, going to a freelancer who does makeup for a living is probably your best option. Learning makeup tips from these makeup professionals will give you hands-on experience. You can ask them questions right there on the spot. But these classes are a professional’s main source of income so you will need to cough up some cash in order to learn their beauty tips.
Magazines like Cosmopolitan or Vogue are the best way to find makeup tips and tricks. There isn’t an issue that goes out published without mentioning how to get a certain celebrity’s makeup look or what makeup product you must try next. So, the next time you see a makeup look on your favorite celebrity that you want to try, start with a fashion or beauty magazine.
YouTube might be where most makeup artists have their platforms and showcase their skills but Instagram is quickly following in second. Most makeup artists share short tutorials on how to achieve a specific look, apply liquid lipstick or test out new products. These videos are a faster way to watch makeup tutorials because most are only a minute long. Way shorter than the average 15 to 30-minute makeup tutorial most Youtubers post. If you want a quick tutorial, Instagram is the best place to look.
Makeup is meant to be fun. It’s your chance to experiment with different looks and find styles that help express your true self. So while you’re taking classes or watching tutorials, make sure to have fun and not take everything too seriously.
