You can book a makeup session with a beauty therapist for a number of different reasons. These include:
- learning how to apply makeup for the first time
- learning how to use makeup to disguise facial scars, blemishes or birthmarks
- wanting to look their best for a special occasion such as, for example, a wedding or an important job interview
- simply wanting to pamper themselves, have a wonderfully
relaxing experience and learn how to improve their appearance through
the use of cosmetics.
A makeup session allows the client to learn about the range of
cosmetics best suited to their skin type and the colour palette to use
for the best effect. A makeup consultation will involve talking through,
with the beauty therapist, the ‘look’ that the client wants to achieve;
deciding on the types of products and colours most suitable for the
client; facial cleansing, toning and moisturising and, finally, the
application of the cosmetics themselves.
These normally include foundation (plus concealer or any other
corrective make-up necessary), powder, blusher, eyeshadow, mascara,
eyebrow pencil and lipstick.
