Lighting for jobs

[jess2302]

Hey ladies! I'm new to this

but I wanted to know what type of lighting do you mua use when applying makeup on a client during when the lighting is poor? I have very poor lighting in my home and most of my clientele is for later events so I do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the natural day light. This is something that is so important to me because I don't want a client to leave the chair looking rare and unprofessional! This definitely would help me cut down on the time I spend on each of them Please Help! I would love to know what recommendations you dolls have!. Thanks

I have the same problem here! Last week i got so frustrated with this because i could barely see what color i was putting on a clients face, it felt like i was on a horror movie. I was doing some research on light stand and stuff and found that halogens bulbs are good but i could find that much info about the specific subject.

You'll eventually learn to work in whatever light is available. if you feel like lugging a lamp or something around with you then go for it

I know this thread is kind of old, but just for the sake of documenting it, GLAMCOR has a fantastic light kit. I did a video with more details here: http://www.youtube.com/valsprettyglam#p/a/u/1/QBAoAyigh_0
