The Fundamentals Of Make-up and Hair Design FMS406 Make-up Studio - Practical
Before applying make-up, you must first prep the skin to ensure it is clean and ready for make-up. To do this there are three steps that must be carried out: cleansing, toning and moisturising.
Skin Consultation:
Before carrying out any cleanse on your model's face you must first complete a consultation form to gather important information.
Define your model's skin type and tone
Ask your model if they have any allergies
Ask your model if they are currently taking any medication
Check for any contra-indications that may restrict or prevent you from carrying out the cleanse
ProductsThe products you will need to use for the cleanse are as follows:
Cleanser
Toner
Moisturiser
Cotton Buds
Cotton wool pads
Cleanse Cleansing your skin is extremely important as it helps to break down the particles of the make-up to remove them.
First take two cotton pads and cleanse all areas of the face, ensure that you get right into hard to reach areas such as the sides of the nose as these areas are more prone to blackheads and breakouts.
To remove eye makeup get your model to close their eyes and gently wipe in a downwards motion to remove any eye make-up they may be wearing. To remove from the bottom lashes ask your model kindly to look up, this will enable you to get close to the bottom lashes and use a cotton pad underneath to catch any remaining product.
Always make sure that all of the make-up has been removed from the skin.
The actions taking when removing are as follows:
sweeping strokes up the neck
take the pads across the jawline
take the cleanser up onto the chin and cheeks
across the upper lip
sides of the nose and down the centre of nose
across forehead and eyebrows
gently around the eye area to remove any eyeshadow
Tone
Toning is equally as important as it will take away any excess make-up that the cleanser didnt and it will also help to tighten the pores and remove oil.
To tone the skin repeat the same actions as with cleasing, remembering not to apply too much toner to the cotton wool pads (the skin shouldnt feel overly wet and ask your model to close their eyes).
Moisturise
And to finish, use a small amount of moisturiser and apply in similar upward motions onto the skin. You don't want to use too much moisturiser as it may not sit on the skin properly and you may end up with complications later when applying make-up to your model's face.
Your model's skin type will determine how much moisturiser you use; for example a drier skin may need slightly more moisturiser whereas an oily skin would not. If your model's skin is on the drier side, advise them to gently exfoliate their skin once or twice a week to remover any dead skin cells on the skins surface.
Health and Safety It is important when working with different models and people in the industry to always be aware of Health and Safety and any cross contamination. There are many things that may prevent or restrict you from carrying out your make-up application and you must identify what these things are to determine your course of action. Here are some examples of some contagious skin diseases that would prevent you from make-up application:Conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis is a contagious condition that causes itchiness, redness and inflammation of the eye which can cause a yellowy orange crust around the eye. It may have been caused by a bacterial or viral infection and therefore you would be unable to carry out makeup application to avoid cross contamination and also to avoid worsening the infection.
ScabiesScabies is an infection caused by a parasite and may be caused by close contact with an infected person. The parasite is a small mite that burrows under the skin and treatment is needed to cure this. This means you would not be able to work on this client as the infection is contagious and you would put yourself at risk and also risk contaminating your kit.
ImpetigoImpetigo is a higly infectious bacterial infection that causes blisters and sores usually around the nose and mouth area. These blisters burst and then form a yellowy/orange crust and need treatment to heal. This is extremely infectious and you would not be able to apply make-up to the area. This is because the spreading of make-up on the face may spread the infection to other areas and therefore worsen the infection and you would also be at risk of catching the infection yourself or cross contaminating your kit.
Skin Conditions that would Restrict Make-up applicationEczemaEczema is a common skin condition that is sometimes called dermatitis. It is the reddening and inflammation of the skin that causes itchiness and sore areas. The usually feels dry but this is not infectious so you must be aware of what areas may be sensitive and what products you may not or may use for this model. Working around the area may also be possible.
Psoriasis Psoriasis is a skin inflammatory condition that leaves patches of red, dry, scaly skin. In some cases people may suffer more than others and this condition is not contagious so cannot be passed onto others. Many people have outbreaks of psoriasis and it may go away in time. You would be able to work around an area that has been affected by psoriasis as long as the model is happy and agrees for you to do so.
