Makeup Artist Reveals the Importance of Makeup Test Before the Big Day

Dream - On special days like engagements and weddings, every woman wants to look more beautiful than usual. To achieve a special appearance, complete makeup is needed.

A professional makeup artist (MUA) becomes the main choice for doing makeup on these special days. If you hire a makeup artist, always ask if there is a makeup test facility, because it turns out to be very important.

Why? MUA based in Bandung, the owner of the account Instagram @bybianda explains. According to her, makeup tests are important not only for potential clients but also for the MUA themselves.

"In my opinion, as long as we can do a makeup test, let's take the chance! So that we have more time to 'experiment' on the bride's face. From how to treat her face according to her skin type, determining the right complexion formula based on her face shape, creating the eye look, drawing the eyebrows, choosing the lipstick color, etc.," wrote @bybianda.

Save Time and Energy

She also advises clients to try several looks or makeup styles based on the theme during the makeup test. Such as flawless, bold, classic, or trendy looks that they want to try.

"So that on the big day, we don't have to experiment more, because we already know the look that suits you, so it can save time and energy!", she said.

So, don't hesitate to ask for a makeup test, dear Dream friends. For the best appearance on your special day.

Smart Tips for Retouching Makeup Without Making It Look Cakey

Dream - Using makeup for a long time can cause your makeup to smudge, fade, or disappear on its own. This can happen even if you have chosen products that claim to be long-lasting.

In such situations, you usually do a makeup retouch or reapply makeup to maintain your appearance. However, you need to pay attention to the technique of retouching makeup so that your makeup doesn't look strange and remains perfect.

Retouching makeup cannot be done just by using two-way cake or powder foundation. Especially if your face tends to sweat. 

Follow the makeup retouching trick from Beauty Content Creator with the TikTok account @carittaa, who has 154 thousand followers, to keep your makeup looking flawless and not cakey all day long.

Layering makeup with powder or other products will only make your makeup look cakey and more ruined. If you want a more natural look, remove your makeup using lotion or moisturizer first.

Apply lotion with a cotton bud or small cotton pad so that all your makeup is not erased and only focus on the areas that look faded. Using lotion will make it easier to remove makeup and make your face more moisturized. So, the makeup you will apply afterwards will adhere easily.

After the lotion has absorbed, use a lightweight cushion with medium or full coverage.

Wait for the cushion or foundation to dry, then pat loose powder on the same areas to set the makeup. This method will make your makeup look more neat, natural, and last longer.
