Get Glammed with Competition Makeup

In the world of competitive sports, bodybuilders are known to show off their strength and beauty on stage. Female competitors combine different beauty routines to enhance their physique, which includes the application of competition makeup. It’s best applied by a professional makeup artist, as  he or she will know how to blend foundation into the competitor’s deep tan  and how to color match eyeshadows and lip colors. If you’re interested in competition-style makeup and how it’s applied by an MUA, keep on reading!

Foundation

Stage tans are a popular beauty routine for bodybuilders, so it’s not uncommon to see darkened skin tones up on stage. With this in mind, makeup artists will have various foundation shades in order to match with the competitor’s tan. The foundation shouldn’t be too light to where it would stand out, but it also shouldn’t be “muddy” or “dirty” looking. It’s important to note: most MUAs recommend you skip tanning the face. The foundation can be set better on fresh skin and blended together more easily than on spray-tanned skin.

Eyeshadow, Cheeks, and Lips

Female bodybuilders are also known for their dramatic stage makeup applied to highlight facial features and compensate for the color that would be washed out by the bright stage lights. Makeup artists will apply a dark base eyeshadow and finish with a sparkly overlay in order to draw attention to the eyes. Pink blushes and darker contour colors can bring back color to the face; lips should be kept simple if you have a dramatic eye look. A professional MUA will ask you about your stage ensemble to best match your colors and shades with theirs.

Setting Powder & Setting Spray

If you don’t want your foundation to smudge throughout the competition day, applying a simple setting powder is key. Makeup artists will have a variety of setting powders that work with tanned skin, especially for a bodybuilding client. Just as important as setting powder, a setting spray to hold everything in place is definitely important for going on and off stage. According to GlamFit Bikinis, “a professional makeup artist specializes in using certain products and steps to ensure your makeup is going to last from those super early morning starts of makeup application, to when you finish up your special day into the evening.”

6 Tips for Studio Makeup

June 14, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Makeup can truly make a difference when you’re on television or working behind a camera. The camera picks up the little nuances of your face, and that includes your makeup too. From carefully blending foundation to applying a darker lip color, there are many tips and tricks for looking your best in the studio. We’ve put together a list of our own so you can look great for every studio session!

1. Prep Skin

Apply moisturizer if you have dry skin, then pick your favorite primer! A good primer will not only help your skin look smoother, but can help makeup last longer. Your makeup will need to last through the day if you’re working from the morning into the late afternoon/evening. Primer can also reduce pores and keep your skin hydrated under the layers of makeup!

2. Foundation/Concealer

Next, apply your foundation with a damp sponge or brush to blend away any streaks or lines. Try using a foundation with an HD formula; it won’t make your face look “flat”, and can give you a more illuminated look.

Lightly apply concealer under your eyes, to the sides of your nose, and to the forehead. Concealer will not only cover dark spots, but brighten areas of the face you want to stand out!

3. Powder

To avoid shine, blot and use a colorless powder. Look for white powders that really don’t have any color to them but do absorb oil as it will look more natural and less cakey in front of the camera. Just apply with a big powder brush where needed.

 (Tip: Focus on your T-zone!)

4. Eyeshadow/Lashes

Matte eyeshadows work best on camera, and earth tones (beige, browns, and taupe) are the most flattering. Blend lighter shades first and then work your way to the darker colors. The darker colors will be the ones to show up most, so don’t worry about a heavy hand!

(Tip: Avoid shimmery colors!)

Adding a pair of fake eyelashes can also open up your eyes. Just make sure to select a length that is not too dramatic. If you do choose to wear fake eyelashes, try applying them on the outer corner of the lid.

5. Blush

Blush can give you back the healthy glow you’re missing underneath all the foundation and powders. We suggest applying your blush from the apples of your cheeks and brushing upward towards the temples for a lifted effect. Coral pinks and peachy pinks add just the right amount of color!

6. Lipstick

The lipstick shades that are best for the studio are neutral pinks. Pinks are great for any eye look, but if you have on neutral eyeshadow, it’s okay to reach for a darker shade of lipstick!

Conclusion

A full face of makeup can drastically change your appearance, especially when you’re in the studio or on camera broadcasting to a large audience. We suggest hiring a professional to get your makeup done the way you want it. Contact the team at Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and Beauty for mobile makeup services and much more!

Four Steps to Cover Up a Tattoo with Makeup

April 26, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Tattoos are awesome; they are permanent works of art on your skin! However, there are times when you may find it necessary to cover up your visible tattoos, as some people aren’t as accepting of them. Whether you have an upcoming job interview, or are about to meet your significant other’s parents for the first time, these 4 steps will help you hide your tattoo in no time.

 

What You Need

Before you begin concealing your tattoo, you need to make sure that you have these products:

  • Primer: Primer preps your tattoo for the makeup you are going to be applying. It evens out the skin to provide a smooth canvas for you to work on.
  • Full coverage foundation: As the name suggests, the foundation is the base of your concealing routine. We recommend using a matte finish foundation.
  • A concealer palette: Concealers help to mask skin blemishes (and tattoos) and can be matched to your skin tone.
  • A color-correcting crayon (Optional): Think of this as a spot-cleaning tool. These crayons come in a variety of colors, so you need to make sure that you get the correct color for your tattoo. For example, if your tattoo has red areas in it, you will need a green crayon to counteract them.
  • Face Powder or Setting Spray: Face powder and setting spray help your makeup products stay on all day. You can use both of these for more strength, or just face powder by itself.

 

Now that you have your makeup products, you can start the tattoo concealing process. However, keep in mind that these products are not waterproof and only offer temporary coverage.

 

The Four Steps

Step 1: Start with your primer. Apply an even layer over the area. If you have a colored tattoo, you should apply your color correcting crayon after the primer.

Step 2: Time for the foundation! Apply the foundation with a makeup blender to make it smooth and even. Blend outwards and use as much foundation as you need to provide full coverage. Most of your tattoo should be covered after this step.

Step 3: After the foundation, apply the concealer. Your palette should have a shade that closely matches your skin tone. (Experimenting with this beforehand will help you figure out which shade combination works best for you.) This should also be applied with a makeup blender in order to create a seamless look. At this point, the concealer should completely cover your tattoo.

Step 4: To keep your makeup in place all day, use face powder. That way, your foundation and concealer won’t disappear as the hours go by. For extra strength, apply the setting spray after the face powder to make sure that your tattoo stays covered.

 

Conclusion

Hiding your tattoos doesn’t have to be a difficult process, especially when you have the right products. However, relying on the professionals is always best. The beauty artists at Beauty Studio Inc. Mobile Hair and Makeup are experts when it comes to applying makeup. With our tattoo cover up services, we make sure that your tattoo is concealed flawlessly so that you can face any event with total confidence!
