Summary: So in this 2nd episode of the Makeup Artist Beauty Podcast, I'll be talking about Foundations. This is something that that our Artists get asked about a lot, as the art of foundation is both an art and a science! Our goal is to educate you so that you know how to communicate what you are looking for in "makeup language" to the salesperson helping you. The more clear picture you have of what you want (or the problem you are trying to solve) the easier it will be for you to find a solution you are happy with! Here are some topics covered in this podcast: Describing types of foundations What coverage do you want? Sheer/full coverage What finish are you looking for? Dewy/Matte What's your skin type? (oil control vs. hydrating) Color - are you more beige, pink undertone or neutral (more coverage = more exact shade match!) Liquid vs cream vs powder, ah! Airbrush? Foundation Bases: Water Based, Silicone based, Gel based, - why you should know your base when layer products on top of each other. Pros and Cons of 3 popular foundation types: Powders, Liquids and Creams How to Apply Foundation like a Pro Mistakes Amateurs make when applying foundation makeup to the face Why Professional Make-up Artists use brushes - and why fluffy vs. dense brush makes a difference My thoughts on sponges that come free with your makeup Stippling Method of foundation application for more coverage How to create an "Airbrush Finish" by hand without a machine Tips and Tricks for Foundations, Concealers, and Powders Changing your sheerness of application simply by changing your brush Secret "sunburst pattern" for foundation application and how to do it Why you should "bounce" instead of "swirl" when blending out your foundation "Checkup from the neck up!" - Secrets for doing it like a Pro!
