Makeup And Hair Before & Aftercare
BEFORE YOUR MAKEUP APPOINTMENT 🌵✨️
To ensure the best out come to care for your makeup application follow these optional steps caring for your skin & brows will make a HUGE difference overall to make the makeup pop to help it last !!
- First and most importantly ensure you arrive on time with a clean fresh faced with NO MAKEUP ON as this will take up your application time wearing makeup it to your appointment and having to spend time removing during your appointment time.
- Avoid a HOT 🔥 🥵 shower 🚿 before your appointment to avoid open larger pores.
- Send your inspo photo 📸 of the style/look you would like before your booking so this doesn't take up application time and everything is ready for your appointment. And it's much easier to meet your needs by showing the style you love so we are on the same page 🤍 Pictures are your best friend at showing what you like best 😊.
- For the duration of the makeup application please keep your phone away 📲, as pausing/stopping to use during the application to text / phone call takes up the application time stopping while applying.
- Gently exfoliate your skin day before with a granular/microbead exfoliant that's already in your skincare regime- removing the dead skin cells on the surface for a smoother application for you. ( avoid trying something new )
- Your foundation will be custom colour matched and chosen best to your skin concerns/skin type for the best finish.
SKIN PREPARATION
For the best skin preparation in the lead up to an event to address any skin concerns with your beauty therapist, as early as possible for best results this can be in Salon treatments and updating your skincare regime to suit your skin type/concerns to address any concerns in the lead up to the big day.- Before a big event the earlier the better work on your skincare regime at home/salon treatments for your skin to glow ✨️
TOP TIP✨️💦
Hydrated skin is GOALS and makes a huge difference 😍!! Your Makeup can only be as good as the skin underneath ✨️. Was a CLINIQUE saying when I managed a CLINIQUE Counter that sticks with me as a brand that is very skin training focused.- HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE 💦 - Drink plenty of water especially leading up to the event💧 👌 Dehydrated skin will absorb your foundation essentially "drink" your foundation.
- Alternatively for a deeper exfoliation you can book a "Dermaplaning Facial" this removes peach fuzz and dead skin cells, makes makeup/skin care absorb and sit better on the skin, gives the ultimate smooth skin finish. Dermaplaning be booked monthly every 4-6weeks . Book this no earlier than 1 week prior to your makeup application - (too close to the makeup application, the makeup may not want to adhere aswell to the skin causing slip/separation & dryness a few days following a Dermaplane) This gives time for the skin to settle.
- Brows shaped to your desired shape before the appointment is best ( this can be booked with Tanya in-studio) a shaped brow will avoid having to carve out a brow shape over unwanted hairs in the shape.
- A spray tan really can give that real golden goddess glow and even outs your skin tone to floe ( help cover tan lines) makes such a difference to the overall look especially makes warm tone eye makeup pop more, if this is a style that you prefer Tanya offers Spray Tans in-studio also. Or you could pop on a home tanning option.
- If you have a pimple its best not to pop just before your booking, as its much easier to cover it not sqeezed.
AFTER YOUR MAKEUP APPLICATION TIPS FOR LONGEVITY 🌵
To prolong and look after your Makeup Application is completed here's some tips to keep it lasting now its applied & how to touchup inbetween.
- Avoid touching/rubbing the face, this will shift the makeup. ( Sometimes clients don't actually realize they rub their face mid application, or nose or scratch their brow hairs etc out of habit ) Touchup with your foundation sponge or brush to blend back in.
- Avoid phone 📱 calls against the face the phone can get hot 🔥 🥵.
- OILY / COMBINATION SKIN - If you do find you get oily throughout the day/night use a blotting sheet pressed lightly blotting only on the area and lightly take off ( do not rub super important ) or use a tissue separated to lightly pat over area to help maintain the makeup to remove shine/oil without shifting the makeup. After this step you can use a pressed powder for touchups if needed to control shine usually throughout the T-Zone area.
- Avoid putting on sunglasses 👓 after the application, if Tanya notices you will wear glasses she will powder the area for extra longevity.
- Keep your Makeup & your self cool to keep your Makeup cool/fresh before the event & during if you can in air-conditioning etc ( AVOID SWEATING TO LAST ) Blot sweat do not rub the skin.
- Try to avoid things you know will make the eyes water (etc Wind with dry eyes or if emotional and tears & wiping/rubbing eyes), so the lashes/glue won't weaken and pop off on the outter/inner ends. (Lash glue is available in-studio to purchase if you would like to be safe just in case to take an emergency stash in your bag/clutch just incase !) - If needing to cry catch tears ( avoid rubbing ) 😢 by holding a folded tissue against under the eye to catch them as they fall.
- Eyes - A cotton tip is great on hand, as a quick fix when sometimes if the moisture in the eye mixes with product it can goop in the inner corners of the eyes or touch the bottom water line 💧so use a cotton tip to wipe from inner corner outwards to fix. Completely normal as it's a wet area.
- Expression Lines - When we laugh for example we can make Expression lines that crease the foundation, from repeatedly creasing the skin then relaxing - to touchup throughout the event, use your own 🧽 beauty sponge or your foundation brush to dab out the lines creasing to touchup / press them out throughout the day. For big events BOTOX is a great option to avoid minimal/movement in the area to avoid this.
- Lipstick Touchups - I'm a lover of liquid lipsticks I find they last the longest personally, I find only oily foods/ licking your lips wears them off quicker. Tanya stocks a massive range of colours in-studio if you would to purchase a similar or same shade applied to touch up throughout the evening they are available to purchase.
To remove the Makeup after the end of the night my favourites are -
- Johnson & Johnson Face wipes to remove most of the makeup.
- Neutrogena eye & lip remover or Clinqiue Eye & Lip Take the day off remover for the eye makeup especially the eyeliner and long lasting lip products to help remove easier.
- Now you can use your cleanser to start your skin care routine for the morning/night. Double cleanse if needed.
BEFORE YOUR HAIRSTYLING APPOINTMENT
To ensure the best out come for your hairstyling booking please ensure
- Freshly washed hair the day before or morning of appointment - DOUBLE SHAMPOO IS BEST to help remove product build up and light conditioner on the ends !!
- Ensure the hair has been fully blowdryed MUST BE completely dry ( not damp ), as smooth as possible ready for styling ( If you have frizzy/curly natural hair please straighten before your appointment ready for styling to get the look as smooth as possible for you.
- If needing to tie up use a loose scrunchy to loosely tie back to AVOID KINKS
- If you have clip in extensions feel free to bring them along to add in the more volume & length the better!!.
- Ensure your hair / fringe pieces are cut ✂️ by your hairdresser into your desired style for the hairstyle you have chosen if you would like it to be achieved like the inspo photo. Etc if you would like a sweeping fringe but the hair is all one length so this can be achieved in your appointment.
Ensure you have sent your inspo ideas to my email for your looks both hair and makeup for the services you have booked, this ensures I have everything I need for appointment to get the best outcome for your special glam 🤍✨️
