Always Take Care of Your Skin
1. Stay hydrated both inside and out. Drink your recommended water intake and moisturize skin 2-3 times daily.
2. Everyone's skin type is different so specifics will be made once I'm able to take a look at your skin. Ask me what facial products I recommend and how many times to wash.
3. Washing your face with harsh soaps or too many times can result in drying of the skin which can then trick the skin to creating extra oil.
4. Always wear sunscreen! Even if its cloudy and if you will be indoors. UV Rays penetrate through windows and can still cause premature aging. Computer screens, phone screens, etc will also impact your skin in the long run.
5. If you plan to be outside for awhile (gardening, exercising, swimming) its best to wear a hat to block the UV rays as much as possible.
6. Tone your face regularly to help the PH balance restore itself. Things like soaps, water can alter your PH making it harder for your facial products to soak in serums and/or beneficial ingredients. Toning will also help with inflamed, acne prone skin. Make sure to do this step after washing face.
How to prep for your makeup application
1. Make sure to exfoliate your skin for a smooth application. I recommend getting Dermaplaned 3-7 days before appointment for a deep exfoliation and a flawless canvas.
2. Coming to your appointment with a clean base is required.
3. Do not wear the clothes you plan on wearing to the event or special occasion. Product fall out such as face powders or eye makeup is prone to happen and I would hate to get your outfit dirty. You are more than welcome to change into desired clothes after appointment. If clothing is too hard to put on and could ruin makeup, we are able to put a cloth over the top to prevent from staining.
4. Have pictures or examples of makeup look desired. Note that depending on facial features, some looks may have to be altered. Keeping in mind as well that every look may not turn out exactly as in picture.
5. If interested in wearing false eyelashes, you are welcome to bring your own if not I carry some styles in office.
Maintaining your look all day/Night
How to keep your face looking flawless through you're event.
1. Make sure to carry a translucent powder and oil dabbing papers, just in case it starts getting a little oily/sweaty.
2. Ensure when dabbing face you are only lightly pressing on face. Do not rub or scrape paper across face.
3. Powder face lightly only on the oily areas.
4. TO be extra precautious, carry eyelash glue, lip liner, Lip stick, Lip gloss. Any makeup close to the shades I used for a quick touch up on the lips or cheeks.
4. Ask me about the setting sprays I use. I carry Dewey and Matte. They help keep the makeup in place and helps the oil levels. The overall makeup look has a flawless finish with either of the setting sprays.
5. Be careful when hugging loved ones for the makeup can transfer over an stain clothes.
