Professional makeup artists are always asked the same question…”which beauty products do you think would work well for me?” And that question is usually asked within 5 minutes of meeting the makeup artist for the first time, before the Pro has the opportunity to properly evaluate the skin issues, tone, etc.
Personally, I get asked that question several times a day, whether I am working or in a social situation meeting a new friend for the first time. They all want to pick a Pro’s brain, but truth be told, I offer the same advice or recommend the same products for most people.
Incredible skincare is key, along with a good foundation, concealer, powder and some “pretty” color cosmetics! All of those will enhance a face, but you must know how to apply them and that my friends, should be the real question! “How do I properly apply my makeup?”
