Study Notes
Color Theory
- Hue: Pure color differentiating colors (e.g., red vs. blue)
- Intensity: Vividness or brightness of a color
- Value: Lightness or darkness of a color
- Tint: Adding white to a color (highest value)
- Shade: Adding black to a color (lowest value)
- Tone: Adding gray to a color (middle value)
- Primary Colors: Red, blue, yellow
- Secondary Colors: Orange, green, violet
- Complementary Colors: Colors opposite on the color wheel (e.g., red and green)
- Cool Hues: Blue-based colors (blue, violet, green)
- Warm Hues: Yellow-based colors (red, orange, peach)
- Skin Complexion Descriptors:
- Ruddy: Red or flushed appearance
- Sallow: Yellowish or pale appearance
- Best/Worst Colors for Skin Tones
- Warm Undertones (Peach/Golden): Peaches, corals, golden browns, rusts
- Cool Undertones (Bluish-Pink, Olive): Blues, violets, cherry reds, fuchsias
- Neutral Colors: Suited for most as not strongly blue or yellow-based
Preparing the Canvas
- Undertone vs. Overtone
- Undertone: Subtle hue under the surface (warm, cool, neutral) that doesn't change
- Overtone: Surface skin color that may change with seasons or conditions (e.g., redness, tanning)
- Swatching/Testing Foundation
- Best areas: Neck or jawline
- Avoid testing on wrists, hands, or forehead
- Order of Application:
- Primer/Moisturizer
- Skin Tone Correctors (optional)
- Foundation
- Concealer (before or after foundation)
- Powder
- Objectives of Foundation:
- Protect the skin (often contains sunscreen)
- Even out skin tone
- Hide imperfections
- Create a base for makeup
Skin Tone Correctors
- Green: Cancels redness (e.g., acne, rosacea)
- Lavender: Neutralizes sallowness
- Yellow/Orange: Corrects blue or greenish under-eye darkness
- Pink: Brightens dull complexions
- Application Tips:
- Mix with foundation for Asian/dark skin tones
- Can be used before foundation or mixed with it for Caucasian skin
Concealers
- High pigment concentration than foundation
- Available in various types (pot, stick, tube)
- Uses: Hide dark circles, scars, pigmentation, and skin conditions
- Application Tips:
- Apply in a stippling motion
- Yellow undertones best for under-eye darkness
- "Hollywood V Technique" for shaping the face
Contouring & Highlighting
- Main Objectives
- Highlighting (matte or iridescent): Brings features forward
- Contouring (matte only): Pushes areas back to create depth
- Sculpting: Combination of both highlighting and contouring
- Common Uses:
- Correcting facial proportions (e.g., short forehead, receding chin, long nose)
- Enhancing natural bone structure (cheekbones, jawline, nose, etc.)
Bones of the Face & Corrective Techniques
- Zygomatic (Cheekbones): Key for contouring
- Enhances contouring; high cheekbones accentuated with highlight/shading
- Mandible (Jawbone): Defines jawline contour
- Orbital (Eye Sockets): Determines eye makeup corrections
- Temporal (Temples): Can be contoured for a slimmer face effect
- Understanding the depth assists in aging makeup or creating hollow-cheek effects
Facial Proportions & Zones
- Three Zones of the Face:
- Frontal Zone (Superior/Frontal) – Hairline to eyebrows
- Middle Zone (Median/Sensitive) – Eyebrows to nose base
- Lower Zone (Inferior/Instinctive) – Nose base to chin
- Facial Profile Types:
- Straight: Forehead & chin aligned, middle of face more prominent
- Convex: Forehead & chin recede, middle of face more prominent
- Concave: Forehead & chin are prominent, middle of face set back
Oval Face Proportions
- Ideal Face Shape
- Width = 5 eye lengths
- Mouth Width = Distance between irises
- Minimal contouring/highlighting needed
Blush Application
- Purpose of blush: Designed to give a healthy glow and serve other purposes
- General Guidelines:
- Apply starting from outer cheek toward the center
- Use imaginary lines from pupil & base of the nose to determine placement
- Different application for different face shapes (long/narrow, short/round, square, heart, pear)
Lighting & Makeup
- Different light sources affect makeup perception
- Adjust color choices accordingly
Eye Makeup & Corrections
- 5 Points of Eye Analysis: Size, shape, spacing, balance, color
- Corrective Eye Makeup Techniques:
- Close-Set Eyes: Light shades inside, dark outside, extend liner outward.
- Wide-Set Eyes: Dark shades inside, light outside, bring brows closer.
- Deep-Set Eyes: Light on lids, dark in crease, avoid upper liner
- Protruding Eyes: Matte, dark shades, minimal shimmer.
- Hooded Eyes: Dark on hood, highlight brow bone
Eyebrows & Corrections
- 3 Key Brow Points: Start, Arch, End
- Corrections: Round brow start, square brow start, long nose, short nose, wide nose, narrow nose
- Brow starts (round, square) affect eye appearance (closer/farther apart)
Key Qualities of a Successful Makeup Artist
- Artistic Skill, ability to enhance features
- Client Engagement, knowledge of trends and product recommendations
- Observation Skills, assessing client's best features, skin type, tone, face shape, and problem areas
