Luminous Foundations
About Me
Makeup isn't about covering up blemishes or making yourself look like someone you're not. Makeup is about being able to use the tools that you have in front of you to emphasis your natural beauty, to make yourself the very best possible looking you that you can find.
Being able to use an eye liner or an eyeshadow to enhance the look of your eyes, being able to sharpen the look of your cheek bones with two swipes of the brush or giving yourself a chic glowing look to make yourself luminous or incandescent even.
The definition of a makeup artist is: "A make-up artist ensures that models, performers and presenters have suitable make-up and hairstyles before they appear in front of cameras or an audience."
But I have one question: why is it that a makeup artist is defined only as one that makes models and preformers suitable before they appear in front of people? What happened to moms, young women and teens? Why is it that only people who can afford to pay through the nose deserve to feel beautiful?
In my opinion, teaching a young woman to pick up an eyeliner or teaching a mother who doesn't have the energy to take a thousand different steps to make herself feel beautiful again in one or two easy steps; is a step worth taking.
Take a moment, take some time and pick up one of your brushes to teach someone to apply a little bit of something that makes them feel beautiful. Putting on some eyeliner that intensifies their eyes or something that makes them look bright can up their confidence multiple levels. Either way, take a moment and teach them how to brush it on; because who knows who they'll grow up to be.
