Exotic
Asian Makeup
|
| Barbara
Layne opened an Academy of Makeup and two Glamour Photography
studios in Tokushima, Japan. She also taught workshops in
Seoul Korea and Bangkok, Thailand, and is now coming to you
with expert knowledge about these cultures. This client is
usually intimidating to the new makeup artist. To make the
income you desire - you would be wise to add this workshop
to your education!
Asian
women usually have a reserved quality to their personalities.
Their look is unique, with gorgeous black hair, smooth skin
and dark exotic eyes. Depending on her nationality her eyes
might have a slant up, down or across. The skin tone is
either fair beige or has a honey tint. Her cheekbones are
usually high and the face shapes are frequently square or
round and full. The exotic eyes come from the shape of the
orbital bone. The lid of an Asian client folds differently
than that of an Anglo-European face. Working with the flatter
eye shape is exciting and offers many makeup choices. Learning
to correctly contour and highlight your client's features
to create dimension is a major determinate in being a success
when it comes to pleasing these beauties.

Head
Shot & Media Makeup for Men

are the men that need makeup? Actor's theatrical head shots,
Extras on films and TV, Models, Political figures, Bride Grooms,
Industrial Films and Corporate Brochures from the CEO to a
Construction Worker. Come and learn effective makeup techniques
for male clients that face the sharp eye of the camera. Men
have a lot of the same skin discolorations as women do. They
have red blood vessels, dark circles and uneven skin tones.
The truth is…that men need makeup more than women do,
because men are not taught to take care of their skin. Would
you use lipstick, mascara or eyeliner? Yes, if they need it.
The trick is how much? You will learn basic grooming skills,
how to avoid the over made up look, cover 5 o'clock shadow,
common flaws and imperfections. You and your model will have
"on camera" experience at a photo shoot for your
portfolio just for the cost of developing. |
