(Mods, please move this to a better place as you see fit!)
I have eight questions for the makeup artists out there. I realize that people do things differently, and would like your experience and input. I'm asking these questions in preparation for possibly/hopefully getting a demo interview, so I really appreciate your responses.
Questions:
1) How can I use the 208 or 266 angled brush to apply Eye Kohls to create a thin, precise line?
2) Is this the order, generally, that you tend to do things in?
- Cleanse and moisturize entire face
- Apply primer, concealor/foundation to upper eye area
- To upper eye: Apply crease colors, then lid colors, then highlight colors, (then false lashes, if necessary), then liner, then mascara
- Clean lower eye area, apply primer, apply concealor/foundation; apply color/liner/mascara; fill in brows
- Spray Fix+ if necessary, apply primer, apply foundation
- Apply cream blush products; apply powder blush products
- Prime lips, apply liner, apply lipstick, apply gloss
3) Relating to the above question, when applying brow set, when do you do it? Before applying color to the eyes? Before applying powder to the face? Is it the last step you do? Or when do you fill in the brows?
4) Do you tend to blend and feather lipliner before applying lipstick, or do you blend both products into each other?
5) Are the following brushes appropriate for applying Blushcremes/CCBs?: 116, 187, 190, 192. Are there any other face brushes appropriate for cream products?
6) What brushes do you tend to use for foundations? For liquid/cream products, are you applying with 187/190/192 -- and then what brush are you using to buff?
7) Do you have a lot of success applying mascara onto your customers (if you work in retail)? I'm guessing it depends on the individual person's sensitivity, correct?
8) Is it acceptable to have a customer cleanse his/her own face with a wipe during a demo/application, or should I be doing it for them?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
