I have a dance group, and was wondering if there is any special makeup products that stay on longer when dancing for about a hour. Something that does not look shiny and melt off. Any one have any tips? Thanks.Professional makeup for dance?
stagelight i think it's called, i am on a competition group and we al had to buy it, though expensive (about 100$ a set) it works very well! and i wore it for a 5 hour dress rehearsal and it never came off :)Professional makeup for dance?
I recommend Some-Kind-a Gorgeous from Benefit. You can get it at Sephora.
In general, I don't think there is a product that just won't work. I mean, everything is going to come off eventually, you just have to keep applying. At my studio there are some girls who have their makeup professionally done by makeup stylists at the Dior or MAC in the mall and they hold up pretty well. So, really, I think just about anything will work.
liquid eyeliner is better, make sure you put powder over your foundation
glam cosmetics is good they have how to videos on you tube!
hope it helps :)

Do you think women look less professional without makeup?
I will be graduating from Law School next month, and want opinions on having a professional appearance. If you were a juror or client, what would you think of a female attorney without makeup?Do you think women look less professional without makeup?
It's hard in our culture because a polished look has come to be synonomous with full face make up and styled hair. The good news is that lately ';Sheer'; is in. I still think it is better and more professional to wear make up but this new trend means that you can wear a more sheer foundation and light colors for a more natural look and look fabulous. Depending on your skin type foundation is always a must (I recommend a foundation that turns to powder for one step easy application), mascara can be worn with out eye liner these days for a more sheer look and then lip gloss with a slight color. Bronzer for cheeks if you are super white like me and.. even though you will have make up on, you will not look overdone.Do you think women look less professional without makeup?
Honestly i do!! I think that makeup will help anyone, but not too much. When wearing make up, your enhancing your natural beauty, so you want your make up to look natural! Now I'm going to give you my honest opinion. I think that when women don't wear makeup, they look lazy to me. Like they can't take the time everyday to make themselves look good.
looking good at job is necessary , but a little is ok , Ur a female .
Well... if your Young than cosmetics aren't so important, but if you are a bit older than cosmetics is what you need. Good looking people always feel good to.
all women look better with less makeup.
but if done correctly it looks ok its only a problem when its put on with a trowel
Personally I'd be much more impressed in either case, by an attorney without make-up.
';Makeup'; = cosmetic = changing the superficial view to present a flattering/false impression. I'd rather be defended by someone who showed they were not afraid of the truth and as a juror I'd be more inclined to believe an attorney who was not obviously ';out to impress';.
You did ask for a personal opinion - that's mine...
If I were a juror or client, I would wonder if she'd care about my case or the person she was defending, if she didn't ever bother to look presentable. I suppose if you're drop dead gorgeous no one will notice, even than I'd wear mascara, a dab of eyeshadow and a bit of lip gloss.
You'll look a couple of years older which might be helpful, you'll look appealing, as long as you're not wearing to much, and you'll look professional.
When applied properly no one really notices makeup.
When not applied at all or too much is applied everyone notices.
Looks do count. That's just life.
yes i think so, but also, too much makeup makes u look like a slut. so iat has to be something in the middle
I wouldn't be so shallow as to judge her ability on her make up bag, I would be more concerned about her reputation to do the best possible job
I hardley use any make-up, If I do I use eyeliner and lip-gloss, If i use lipstick I use earth tones or frosty colors with lip-liners. And I still have a professional ambiance.
I am a lawyer and absolutely dislike female lawyers who do not wear makeup. If you want to look good to a jury or client, try to look always your best and makeup always helps.
clean natural-looking make-up would be good.
I'd go with Kat the lawyer on this one...If I encountered a person in a professional job that did not wear make-up, I would think it was strange, and they would not strike me as a serious professional. Makeup is a must, and don't cheap out on it...this is not a mistake you want to make. Wear something natural, but upscale and put together like Bobbi Brown.

How do I become a make up artist????? Makeup artist professional opinion is preferred.?
I would like to become a make up artist but don't know how to go about it. I can put on my own make up fairly decent, however I want to learn how to professionally apply make up. Shoul I go to a beauty school? What type of money is there to be made in this profession and whats the best way to get into it?How do I become a make up artist????? Makeup artist professional opinion is preferred.?
Hello! I am a makeup artist myself and I absolutely love it. I started out working for a makeup counter at a department store. That's a great place to start out. You don't need experience, just an ambition to learn and work. Any cosmetic line is good especially Clinique (which is where I started), Lancome or Chanel. They send you to schools to learn about skin physiology and all about makeup and application. While working at the department store you make your hourly plus commission which is nice. Once you build a client base they will ask you to come to their houses and do their makeup for weddings and special occasions. This is nice because you can set a rate to charge for your services. When I started out, I charged my wedding parties $75 for the bride and $50 per bridesmaid. Working for a cosmetic line is also great because they give you free product for yourself too :-) After you gain experience you can also work freelance. Freelance is great because you can work for different cosmetic lines doing events. Freelance work lets you make your own hours and pays at least $25/hour. I love being a makeup artist because I can still have my Monday thru Friday job and do this on nights and weekends. You meet great people and make great money. I say go for it!! It's a great opportunity. If you have any more specific questions, shoot me an email. I'd be happy to help you out! Good luck!How do I become a make up artist????? Makeup artist professional opinion is preferred.?
Do not go to a beauty school. Beauty schools are for people who would like a license in hair, nails, or skincare. They don't teach makeup. You need to go to a professional makeup artistry school. Makeup artists are certified, not licensed.
Some reputable schools are:
Complexions (Canada)
Westmore Academy (California)
MUD (New York and California)
Vancouver Film School (Canada)
Makeup Forever (Paris)
The schools will teach you what you need to do to get into makeup but going to makeup school is the first step. Many people try to avoid it and it's much harder for them to be taken seriously. The ones you hear about who get into makeup with no training are the ones who are rare and gifted with unusual artistic ability. You hear about them because they are so rare.
The pay really varies by what you want to do. Movie makeup artist make anywhere from $250-$1000 a day. That's union rates. To join the union you have to do a certain number of low budget films and pay union dues. You'll start at doing low budget films for anywhere from $20-$100 a day. For TV artists you can make anywhere from $1000-$5000 a week. TV is VERY hard to get into and you normally have to be represented by an agency. Agencies require very well put together professional portfolios to sign you. You can also just do local bridal makeup and make a living doing that. Typically for bridal makeup on a professional level you can make anywhere from $500-$1000 a day. There are no definitive amounts you can make in makeup artistry because the market varies by state and by the type of work you are doing. It also varies by how good you are and how much you work to get jobs. Jobs are high competition. You need to network with other artists (you'll get most of your first jobs from fellow artists you are friends with) and you need to check job boards like craigslist.com and your makeup school job board. You have to stay focused and really want it to be successful. Artists potentially make a lot of money but they also have long spans between jobs so you have to be able to budget accordingly. You may make $5000 in one day but you'll have to make that last until you find your next job and that could take a month or more. It's a fun job but it's hard work. You are on your feet all day and most days consist of 12-14 hour work days with only 2-3 hours of sleep in between. You work in all sorts of conditions and have to be pleasant and easy going the entire time. Movie shoots are the most grueling. TV is pretty cushy but hard to break into. Photo shoots are fun but exhausting and you have a lot of hot lights melting your makeup while the photographer is barking orders at you. Runway work is fun but very rushed and very stressful. The backstage stress could be cut with a knife. You have to really love the industry to succeed.
yes you have to go to cosmotology school.. aveda and paul mitchell have great schools..pricey at that... moneys good if you are
some makeup stores are willing to train their employees for free. Search around an ask if experience is required
The first thing that you have to do...is go to cosmetology school...My cousin is a beautician / makeup artist. that is what she did, and then got her foot in the door at a local salon...and on terms of money, she is my age (23) and drives a BMW z4 (2006), and has a house of her own....so the money is there.
I have two answers for you. I used to work on a TV show where they had make-up artists. Intern with one if you can! Great way to get a foot in the door. Also, there are make-up classes offered in many theater schools across the country. You can learn more than just cosmetic make-up, but how to do special effect make-up, cuts, brouses, and scars as well as old-age make-up. Theaters always need make-up artists (great volunteer oppurtunity and way to take pictures and build a portfolio)!

Hello Iw, I'm a stylist! I know that Avon usually has a handbag filled with products on sale in every campaign and in the Outlet brochure. You can also piece together products from bundles and make your own kit. For instance, there is a Jillian Dempsey essential beauty palette with 2 lip colors, 1 cream blush, and 2 creme eyeshadows on sale for $7.99. There is a train case on the same page for $4.99. You could add Jillian Dempsey's Kohl eye liner $3.99 and professional mascara $5.99 if you wanted. There is a Far Away Paradise Beauty Collection on sale for $18.99 that includes Anew Retoactive Repair Serum, glazewear liquid lip color, speed dry nail enamel, 2 Far away Eau de Parfums (5 fl oz and 1.7 fl oz), all in a faux suede bag and with mirror. That is an $85 value. One other is the Summer Blockbuster which includes a cosmetic bag, wash-off waterproof mascara, ergonomic eyeshadow brush (my favorite), smooth mineral eyeshadow, Avon solutions hydro-radiance protecting day lotion, plump pout lip gloss, and speed dry nail enamel all for $13.50 and that is a $55 value.

Could any professional makeup artists/Sephora employees give me some advice on ';summer makeup'; looks?
I'm going to be spending my summer chilling in the glamorous Manhattan Beach in California at my aunt's townhouse, which is practically yards away from the beach. I was just wondering if going with sheer blue lip gloss to cool my natural lip colour and pale-to-light shimmery gold dewy eyeshadow would be appropriate for that California summer look? Is it?? Please help!!
NOTE: I have ';cinnamon'; brown hair, seafoam green eyes, and a light porcelain skin complexion.Could any professional makeup artists/Sephora employees give me some advice on ';summer makeup'; looks?
As a professional makeup artist for over 20 years you are using way too much for the beach in Cali. What you need is the Bee Luscious Cosmetics Mineral Core Lip Tint with SPF15 its light and a sheer barely there color that will also enhance as it protects your lips. Then just a bronzer and your done. Now for later off the beach or going out you can try also from bee luscious the dimensional eye shadow in Luminized or the mineral shadows in any of the earthy colors. Bark eyeliner and mascara along with your safari bronzer in Congo and you will have more guys staring than what you know what to do with trust old Ramone.Could any professional makeup artists/Sephora employees give me some advice on ';summer makeup'; looks?
what'choo talkin 'bout?! i live in california and this is WAYYYYY too much make-up for the beach. if anything get a shimmery bronzer/blush and a thick shiny neutral lip gloss. california is all about the natural look.
It would look nice, but probably not beach appropriate.
