Here is something that can cause a little debate/discussion!
After I got certified for my Application Skills a few months ago, the Senior Trainer sat down with me and we went through what I did together. They go through a checklist and discuss every point with everyone who goes through this process.
When she asked me if I had any questions, I specifically asked her about the 'doing the eyes before foundation' thing...if it really matters what you do first (I personally never even thought of doing the eyes first until I saw some co-workers doing it for their appointments). Her answer kind of surprised me. She said that you shouldn't need to do the eyes first with the proper tools and technique. I thought about that and I guess it's true...whenever I have seen a makeup artist on TV or even one of our Senior Artists in Training doing a makeup, I have never seen them do eyes first.
I honestly thought she was going to say that the order doesn't matter as long as you get the job done beautifully and the client is satisfied.
I just thought I would mention this since a lot of people ask this question. What do you all think? Do you think that this could be a measure of an artists' skill level?
