["MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide every day because I try to keep myself open to that. Now let\u2019s look at the stages of the artist\u2019s mind: Stage 1: Beginner without any understanding The stage 1 is where students with no knowledge are found, as well as students who have had some contact with professional makeup but were unable to develop the artist\u2019s mind, self-confidence and mastery to perform makeup. It is common to be afraid of failing or to be frustrated with their results, often even questioning their learning abilities. Students in this internship need to go back to basics so that they can reprogram their learning and correct errors and flaws and addictions in the process of grounding knowledge, after all, no building can stand without a good foundation. Stage 2: Beginner with basic understanding Stage 2 covers students who know how to do basic makeup: preparing the skin, blending the shadows more or less, applying blush, lipstick, mascara, etc., but have difficulty with finishes, precision, color transitions , precision with the outline or leaving the lipstick line very clean and without smudges. Stage 3: Intermediate with little understanding Stage 3 covers students who can already do basic makeup but slightly more daring, can prepare their skin, use a powdered contour, make a smudge using 3 colors and correct their eyebrows, but have difficulty with precision and color transition. Many students at this stage already have a great desire to go further, to dare more in makeup, however they are not prepared for this and can feel discouraged with their results if they try something very advanced, so it is important to continue studying and receiving inputs, the information that will enable you to move to the next level. 4: Intermediate with a lot of understanding Stage 4 is when the student is already able to do a complete social makeup on a commercial level, already knows how to choose the base tone according to the skin\u2019s sub tone, knows how to prepare the complete skin with contour and lighting, knows how to correct the eyebrows well, knows make classic makeup, apply fine pigments, apply eyelashes and lipstick. However the student is still unable to make very complex color transitions and has some difficulty with elongated eyeliners, symmetry and color theory.

It\u2019s is able to create authorial make-up and mix most of the knowledge It has and achieves great results in performance. This is one of the differentials of the methods that we teach in this guide: while traditional courses will put you on to make up since stage 1, which can leave you lost and discouraged, we will prepare you first so that you acquire a sustainable theoretical basis to launch yourself in more daring practical activities and don\u2019t feel so lost. After the stage 5, you will continue to develop your skills and approach the level of the Master of Makeup, this stage is the highest one, it\u2019s where the student also becomes a teacher. It\u2019s where you start helping other people to evolve. It\u2019s not a destination, it is also a journey because even teachers need to be constantly studying. DEFINING MILESTONES OF EVOLUTION You already know the stages of evolution, so let\u2019s define where you want to go! Establishing a goal of where you want to go is very important in your evolution process. The internships are so good for you to be where you are in the evolutionary process, and to get to know what the next level is to reach. First milestone: Reach level 2 This is the first milestone to be reached. Being able to do a basic, simple make-up, this level for those who knew nothing already represents a lot because it shows that you already have a foundation being formed and that it will be fundamental for you to keep evolving. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 52 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide Second milestone: Reach level 4 Reach level 4 of evolution. Reaching level 03 despite being part of their evolutionary process should not be an objective, as the student at level 03 still has a lot of difficulty with precision, which is a fundamental skill in a makeup artist who wants to succeed. Level 04 is where the student is very close to conquering his artistic freedom, as he is already prepared to make beautiful commercial make-up and that pleases the clients a lot, that is, at this level the student can already start acting and earn money with professional makeup . This stimulus can be very valuable to continue studying and approaching the next milestone. Third milestone: Reach level 5 This level is very rewarding. It is where the student already has an artist\u2019s mind, feels like one, already sees the face of his clients with a clinical and analytical eye and manages to act as a beauty consultant offering a personalized service and adjusted to the personal characteristics of each one. Within this framework, the student already experiences contact with his clients in an even more interesting way, as he manages to deliver a work result with excellence. The positive feedback, the smile and the gratitude of his clients motivate and enthusiasm him to continue studying more and more, walking towards the level of the Master of Makeup. BASIC PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP STUDIES \u2022\t Now that you know about the importance of developing your basic knowledge about professional makeup and the different stages of the artist\u2019s mind, it\u2019s time to take action, to start your studies in practice. To start your development you will need: \u2022\t Makeup books for professionals \u2022\t A notebook where you can write down your main insights about what you are reading and your new discoveries about the makeup universe \u2022\t A mentor who can direct you during the learning journey, (even if virtually). \u2022\t Face charts. They are like a makeup sketch only on paper, where there is a face and you can make the first strokes when you feel like it. \u2022\t A basic makeup kit with some products and brushes to start feeling the textures of the products and to be able to use on face charts. \u2022\t Classes, posts and articles on professional makeup that can generate inputs in your mind.

Many people are only concerned with learning new \u201cready-made techniques\u201d of makeup, this can indeed be useful, but when you know all the functions of products and tools, you become aware of the possibilities and resources you can use to create your own looks and\/or give your personal touch in any makeup. Understanding the function of each instrument and the products can not only be very useful in your learning journey, but can expand your possibilities to surprise your clients, even if you are already working in the job market. WHY IS IMPORTANT UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTION OF PRODUCTS AND TOOLS? There are many benefits to learning the function of products, brushes and instruments, among them: \u2022\t Knowing the function of products and brushes allows you to become more free to adapt functions and effects within makeup to the products and brushes you own. \u2022\t It allows you to be more aware of the possibilities of substituting for items that are more accessible or that best suit your budget. \u2022\t It makes you more confident of your limits and possibilities according to what you have in your work kit. \u2022\t Knowing the function of each item is essential for you to use the right product at the right time and with the right customer, this is part of the mastery of the makeup artist. HOW LONG DOES IT NEED TO LEARN THE FUNCTION OF ALL PRODUCTS, BRUSHES, ACCESSORIES AND THEIR CORRECT USE? Disciplined students who use effective methods like the ones you will learn here in the guide can learn in three months or less. After that, these students can further improve their skills and memory as they practice and understand the features and effects that each product provides. I believe that one of the factors that most limits the professional to not feeling free to create their own makeup or not knowing how to solve basic recurring problems in the day-to-day care is precisely the lack of knowledge of their work tools. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 55 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide Honestly, I don\u2019t believe that there is currently a traditional makeup course that enables students in a journey of 6 months or less to fully act in the professional makeup market, as the courses teach many ready-made looks (witch makes the students extremely limited) , and little function of the products, tools, basic theories that would in fact be necessary for the student\u2019s artistic freedom, while traditional schools ask their instructors to teach precisely in this method that is not efficient for students. GETTING TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE Of all the parts of learning professional makeup, the most relevant of them is undoubtedly the technical learning of products, brushes, accessories and their functions. The more technical knowledge the student has, the greater is the ability to diagnose, develop and propose personalized alternatives according to the taste and personal style of his clients. A makeup artist with limited technical knowledge, that is, who does not know the tools and resources available to use well, will not be able to unleash his creativity and may become a frustrated professional because he wants to express his ideas and does not know how do this assertively. This is because it is the knowledge of the possibilities, brushes, tools, application techniques and etc., that combined in our mind generate the results in the quality of the makeup. It is impossible to go further and create incredible looks with limited technical knowledge. Technical learning has no end, as the student can either discover new functions for the same product, or know and learn about new products launched and so on. The secret is to maintain curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the journey. As long as the student is excited about learning, he will always be expanding his knowledge. CONTEXTUALIZED GETTING When gaining new knowledge, it\u2019s very important that you do not learn it in isolation, out of context. Entering makeup store websites for example and trying to read product descriptions is not as productive as learning during a class, as learning is different from decorating. When you learn the \u201cwhat\u201d, the \u201cwhy\u201d, the \u201chow\u201d and the \u201cwhen\u201d, your mind tends to assimilate much more of what you have learned because the brain finds a reason to store the information. Suppose you want to learn about color concealers, if you just learn the names of concealers and their basic function, you will probably forget, however if you learn the names, function, what it\u2019s for, when to should use and not use, and associate it with someone that you know who that has such a problem, and imagine yourself helping them through your knowledge, you\u2019ll not only MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 56 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide have a better chance of remembering what you\u2019ve learned but you\u2019ll be even more excited to put it into practice. AN AMAZING WAY TO LEARN ANYTHING! You have already learned about the importance of obtaining technical knowledge so that you can become a free and unlimited artist in the universe of makeup and perhaps become a Master of Makeup, right? This acquisition of knowledge represents learning not only the basics to be able to make a makeup that is considered beautiful or that will yield many likes on social networks. The knowledge that a makeup artis needs to have is a baseline knowledge that allows him to offer a personalized service to his client, to correct adverse skin problems, asymmetries, to apply a makeup in line with the personality, occasion, style, among other fundamental characteristics for generate customer satisfaction and create a solid and long- term career. You can even learn some fashion techniques from Instagram, and through them gain followers and likes, but what about when fashion passes, will you be prepared to keep your profession? Really please your customers? I\u2019m very concerned about this inversion of values t\u200b\u200b hat has been preached, whitch only the look that gives like is valued, the super, hyper, mega dramatic look and totally out of reality of what the clients really want. You as an artist can and should unleash your creativity with looks that go beyond common sense on Instagram or any other social media. However in front of your client, it\u2019s not about you, it\u2019s about her. And for that it requires much more than some ready-made makeup recipes, it requires empathy, connection and the knowledge necessary for this. For that, it\u2019s necessary a complete professional training that enables you to be a beauty consultant, and not just a replicator of looks, which often do not please even 30% of the clients who seek the beauty salon. And how to learn all this? Through video lessons! Nowadays I consider it one of the best methods to learn a long content, because you can learn little by little, gradually assimilate knowledge, and thus reconcile with your routine and other daily tasks. So what are the advantages of learning via video lessons? 01) You can learn large amounts of content Through video lessons you can learn large amounts of content gradually, without overloading your mind, reconciling more smoothly with your routine. Unlike face-to-face courses, you do not need a specific day to study and can learn from anywhere in the world. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 57 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide 02) You can review, pause, speed up and consult the content whenever you need One of the things I like best about learning via video lessons is that you can review whenever necessary if you forget, you can pause and take notes, come back when something is not clear and you can make your own study schedule according to the availability of each, something that requires a little more adjustments and organization in classroom courses. 03) You have geographical freedom Imagine finding a teacher that you like, and not being able to learn from him because you live far away, because you don\u2019t have time, or even because it would be too expensive to travel to your city. I myself have met many incredible teachers on different subjects on the internet who live elsewhere in the world and that I might not have the chance to learn from them if it weren\u2019t through video lessons. Another positive point is that it is possible to attend classes from anywhere in the world on my own cell phone, in case you have any doubts or if you have free time and want to take the opportunity to advance or review a class. 04) It is not necessary to finish the course to start putting it into practice Another advantage of learning with video lessons is that it is not necessary to finish the entire course to start putting it into practice, in fact this is one of the biggest advantages. You can learn to get started and you can continue learning and advancing, although it is not a rule that everyone can feel prepared to start before finishing a course, being able to combine practice with learning is incredible, after all the knowledge that is not used is discarded by the brain. Warning: Be careful with the expiration date of the video lessons you have purchased. There are courses that make your classes available for limited periods, causing you to be forced to study in that predetermined period. The downside is that if you have any unforeseen circumstances and cannot study, you may lose what you have invested and can only revise within the access period. So it may be better to opt for a more expensive course that offers lifetime access. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUTORIAL AND VIDEO LESSONS Something important to be explained is the huge difference between tutorial and video class. Many students think that they should not invest in a classroom course or via video lessons as they can watch tutorials for free on streaming platforms. However, this belief is mistaken and MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 58 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide can blind the student to a great possibility of learning and changing his life. Let us then go to the clear definitions of these two modalities: TUTORIAL sf. Program, method or document that provides detailed information about how something works. The tutorial is a \u201chow to\u201d, it only teaches a step by step to be followed, in a summarized way and without many \u201cwhys\u201d, since those who seek this type of content usually want quick answers to a problem. VIDEO LESSONS It represents a recorded or live class in video form. A class is not just a how to, it is an exposition on a certain area of \u200bk\u200b nowledge, made by a teacher and addressed to one or more students and it does not aim only at how to do it, but at why to do it, when to do it and when not do. WHERE TO LEARN So far you have already learned about the importance of obtaining technical knowledge and the method of studies via video lessons that enable you to learn large amounts of content easily and effectively if learned from a qualified source, with good methods and understandable didactics. 01) Tutorials There is a lot of free quality content on the internet, but there is also a lot of low quality content with no technical basis that can confuse the visitor who still has no sieve to make a good assessment of what to consume or not, regardless of that I will list some sources of research on here: Youtube: The free streaming platform has thousands of videos on the most diverse subjects, made by both professionals and amateurs. You can subscribe to content channels and be notified when new videos are released. Youtube is a double-edged sword, you have to know what to filter to avoid being contaminated with wrong content, however if you find a reliable channel it is worth watching. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 59 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide Vimeo: Vimeo is also a free video streaming platform with a subscription option that allows you to watch videos. It doesn\u2019t have as many video options as YouTube, because the focus of vimeo is more focused on professional use. (Remember that these platforms have mostly tutorials and not video lessons.) 02) Video lessons Video classes are a material that is richer in technical and theoretical basis (theoretically), and that aims not only to dictate a step by step (as in tutorials), but to teach, guide the student through fundamentals and universal knowledge that can be used not only in a makeup look for example, but in all your work. The tutorials can be done by amateurs, enthusiasts or people who want to share something they like with the world, and do not necessarily require a high quality standard, so they are free, the quality depends exclusively on the disposition of their authors. Video lessons, for example, are made by professionals who decided to share their knowledge in a more democratic and accessible way via videos that can be watched from anywhere in the world, after purchasing an access license. Preparing a video lesson is very different from a tutorial that can be about any random subject. A video class is usually within a structure of sequential modules concatenated in a line of logical reasoning in order to teach and guide the student in a comprehensive manner on a certain subject, and for this reason they are charged, since all work needs to be paid. However the student who wins the most is the opportunity to have access to knowledge in the comfort of their home and with all the advantages of learning via video. THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORT AND THE COMMUNITY One of the most important and rewarding things about taking a course is networking, being able to meet more people, exchange information and create a support network. In fact, many friendships emerge from these meetings in the classroom. Contrary to what many know, it is possible to experience the same experiences in courses via video lessons, since most platforms currently offer the possibility of interaction between users, forums for questions and answers and personalized and individualized support for questions about the course. In fact, seeing people we care about in person and often is very difficult. In the digital universe, just send a message, and that\u2019s it! We are already connected, and if you stop to think, even the people we MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 60 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide know personally, we use digital media more to keep in touch, in the face of distances or even more and more scarce time. CERTIFICATE Many students are afraid of learning via video lessons because they think about the certificate. Currently, it\u2019s possible to take a course via video lessons and obtain a certificate at the end, since most systems report the student\u2019s evolution within the platform and automatically generate a digital certification at the end of the program, not affecting in any way the proof of the student\u2019s learning. student. In fact, different from traditional courses, it is possible to refresh knowledge by re-attending the course whenever you want to remember some content.

There are different styles, and each one can please both a specific makeup artist profile and customers. The important thing is to believe in the style, specialize in it and find the right target audience. Next, I will talk about the main existing makeup styles. 01) Natural\/Nude Style It\u2019s a smoother makeup, uniform skin but light- er, low contrast of tones, low intensity and vi- bration, usually uses analog chromatic harmo- ny and there are no focal points in the makeup, everything is very smoky and well mixed in the skin, the famous \u201cNo makeup, makeup \u201d. The lashes, when used, have a super natural effect, short without much volume, the ideal in this proposal is really naturalness, the \u201cI was born this way\u201d effect. The preparation of the skin can come without contour, or when it is used it comes in an extremely light and not very evident way, the hightlight can be used, but none of that dramatic metallic effect, the idea is to always reproduce the natural glow, like everything in this makeup. The lips also come in more natural shades of mouth, with- out much marking and drawing. It is a makeup with the objective of only light correction and enhancement of natural beauty. The watch- word here is naturalness and softness. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 63 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide 02) Classic \/ Glam Style This style is derived from the old Hollywood classic of the 90s. Focus on well-defined and well-defined eyebrows, outlined eyes and well-drawn lips, usually with deeper shades. The shadows are well smoked without much information, usually matte, in neutral and earthy tones, always valuing the concave. The eyeliner is kitten but it is not so elongated, as this makeup prioritizes the traditional elegance of the muses of the time, and influences beauty to the present day. On the lips we have colors like red, wine, burgundy, always perfectly outlined, while in the eyes there is no exaggeration of lashes, the favorite model is the whisper, an entire eyelash but in separate tufts, which gives a more doll effect, more delicate to the looking and at the same time sensual. The cheekbones well valued with a little contour and blush are also marks of this beauty, the identity is always more retro and vintage, however it is a timeless beauty. The skin is not very heavy, and the eyes are usually lit in the inner corner, the lips can come without contour also in a proposal of more natural lips. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 64 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide 02) Smokey Eyes Style Basically it consists of darkening around the eyes, creating depth, either with neutral tones or with intense colors, in most of them there is a gradient that comes out of the darker and more intense eyes and fades towards the skin tone, at the temple where it ends. smoky. The shadows may stop at the height of the hollow or may rise a little to the brow bone, depending on the proposal and style of the makeup, client and occasion. In this style countless colors and combinations can be used, this gives us a huge variety of possibilities in makeup. The classic versions are always in more neutral tones such as brown, dark brown, gray brown and black. Evening makeup in this style comes more intense, with more contrast and depth, while makeup for the day have low contrast, softer and brighter tones. If the proposal is day, avoid colors that give too much depth, or that are too intense, if you know how to dose it you will get countless variations of looks for both day and night. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 65 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide 02) Social Artistic Style In this style we usually see a mixture of the 02 classic and 03 smoky styles, however with much more intensity, drama, pigmentation and vibration. There are more defined shapes and designs, colors, pigments, textures, and there may even be accessories such as rhinestones, pearls, etc. Sometimes there is no commitment to valuing the model\u2019s beauty, in some cases it is similar to Drag Queen makeup or artistic performance makeup. Depending on its intensity, vibration and elements used, it\u2019s not quite a make-up used to go out socially, it\u2019s done by itself, only for the purpose of art, training techniques, developing professional skills, exercising creativity, etc. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 66 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide 02) Fashion \/ Editorial Style It is the makeup category that is usually seen on fashion shows, fashion editorials, magazines, etc. It\u2019s a makeup outside the common sense of normality, it does not follow any pre- established pattern, both in its colors and in its shape. There is no commitment to beautification itself, the only commitment is to communicate the concept itself. It can be a fashion collection, a fashion show, or an art exhibition.

Eyes This stage is when we create an identity and personality to makeup.

It\u2019s possible to enlarge the eyes, modify the format, make them deeper, shallower or more mysterious.Without a doubt the creation of eyeshadows is one of the most fascinating phases of makeup and the makeup artist who wants to make his mark needs to be a truly Master of Makeup in this regard.

In this chapter you will learn what it takes to start making up and how to develop this skill. WHAT IS HIGH PERFOMANCE IN MAKEUP? It\u2019s complex to define what exactly \u201chigh performance in makeup\u201d is, as there are different perceptions about it. However, in view of your learning, we will assume that makeup with high performance is to achieve different styles of makeup with precision, finish, cleanliness and beauty in a natural, fluid, spontaneous and with total safety. Note that this does not mean not making mistakes, you can have ample skill and still make some mistakes at some point, as each new proposal you decide to make will need practice and experience. The more you do makeup, the more experienced and safer you become in it, and you can even discover new products, effects, shortcuts and differentiations for the same proposal, in fact this is very important, as the same makeup should not always be reproduced faithfully on all customers. Mastery is also governed by the sensitivity of modifying and adjusting a technique so that it harmonizes in the best possible way for different types of clients. WHAT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE HIGH PERFORMANCE IN MAKEUP? However simplistic it may seem, to make up with high performance, you just need to: know and master the application techniques behind the construction of a complete professional makeup! How so? Yes. The makeup is like a mosaic where each piece when placed will form the design. When you know the techniques (micro-skills), it\u2019s easy to build the whole. Creating a makeup look is the result of the combination of micro skills: knowing how to prepare the skin, knowing how to correct the eyebrows, knowing how to smear the hollow, and so on. The artist combines his technical knowledge, modifies the colors, adds pigments, intensifies or not and so the look emerges. The most advanced artist can create elements, effects and authorship details for his makeup, however most of what he does was learned from third parties, that is, a relatively standard technical knowledge that, upon becoming known, frees the artist to create and make different makeup proposals. And why are there so many make-up artists with so much technical knowledge that they can\u2019t get high performance? Let\u2019s look at some possibilities: MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 74 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide \u2022\t The student has theoretical knowledge but has not reached the level of making it a competency. \u2022\t The student has practical skills such as: good motor coordination, precision, smoothness, etc., but It lacks the necessary theoretical knowledge to enrich his mind and unleash his creativity. \u2022\t The student has theoretical knowledge, skills but does not have knowledge about the psychology of makeup and therefore feels limited and insecure to release his creativity. \u2022\t Lack of preparation to transform your knowledge into skills and thus develop and become more daring. \u2022\t Fear of reproach and criticism, so it does not innovate and always ends up doing the same style of makeup. WHEN WILL I START TO HAVE HIGH PERFORMANCE IN MAKEUP? If you have come this far I believe that you already have a little more clarity about the makeup learning journey than you had before reading the guide, you probably have changed some beliefs or validated other preexisting ones. Before action, preparation is necessary. There will come a time when thinking, talking and doing makeup will be something intrinsic and natural for you. Ideas and inspirations will spontaneously arise in your mind. You will need to be present for these clues, as this is when you are starting to think like an artist. Here are some of the signs that you are starting to think and see as an artist: \u2022\t When you start to look at the face and identify the strengths and weaknesses clearly and know what to do to \u201cclean\u201d the beauty, hiding the negative points and highlighting the positive ones. \u2022\t When you start to identify asymmetries, imbalances in proportion such as a very large forehead compared to the chin, very large eyes and very small mouth, etc. \u2022\t When you start to identify the skin tone and undertone with ease just by looking at the person. \u2022\t When you begin to understand color theory and how to use it to enhance beauty, make color transitions and spot corrections using the rules of color theory. \u2022\t You can quickly create a personalized look in your mind just by evaluating the client\u2019s face and personality. \u2022\t You can clearly describe what you do and can sell your ideas to your clients. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 75 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide \u2022\t You feel safe and fully capable of doing your job and you feel grateful and connected with a greater mission to help women experience important moments in their beautiful lives and be confident with their appearance through their work and skills. \u2022\t By the time you start observing the evidence mentioned above, you will be almost or even totally ready to perform in high performance makeup. If you feel that you are not ready yet just keep studying and practicing, seek your development tirelessly and pay the price of the transformation that without a doubt you will reach your desired state. However, when you think you are ready and feel an intense and vibrant inner power to express your art as you always wanted, it is time to continue studying and further enriching your repertoire of techniques and so you will be approaching the level of Master of Makeup. GETTING MAKEUP DONE IN PRACTICE You have already learned that knowledge without practice never becomes skills. There is no point in spending years studying and never starting to practice, when you can combine effective theoretical study with constant practice, you will in fact be sculpting the artist you want to be. By recruiting the knowledge stored in your mind to process it in the form of practical action, you stimulate your brain to keep information always accessible and fresh in your mind. It is important to emphasize once again that even if someone has enormous theoretical knowledge in their mind and has not been dedicating enough or has not been properly instructed to turn their knowledge into competence, they may have serious difficulties when carrying out a job. This is because we are dealing with an activity that is not purely mental, it involves motor coordination, experiences and skills that are only developed with exercise, discipline and above all willpower. If you are a woman, you can start practicing on your own face, however I warn you that it is very different to put on and put on other people, so I recommend that you train to put on other people to develop this type of skill, sensitivity and security. There are several options for people you can talk to and ask them to give their faces to in their practical development process. But be careful with some common behaviors in these people that can hinder your process. If you identify this in any of them, talk or simply avoid working with that person. Let\u2019s see some of them: 01) Models who are looking in the mirror or on the cell phone all the time Be very careful with models who are constantly looking in the cell phone or mirror all the time. Remember that you are not playing makeup, you are developing a skill that will become a MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 76 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide professional competence, for that you need concentration and working with a model with this behavior can make you) disperse and have your development completely impaired. 02) Models who know a lot about makeup This situation can be advantageous or very dangerous, because as a rule when we are starting something we tend to be insecure and if you know that your model understands makeup a lot you can probably feel pressured to do a very perfect makeup. Charge that may not be interesting for those who are just starting out. If you work with a model who understands makeup a lot, your reactions and likely feedbacks will be based on her level of knowledge and not yours. So be very careful not to be sad and jeopardize your journey. My advice is that you work with a model who doesn\u2019t have such a high level of knowledge, so you\u2019ll be happy with what little you do. 03) Models that are professional makeup artists Working with models who are makeup artists can be even more terrifying for those just starting out. This is because we tend to be intimidated by someone we know who knows more than we do. It\u2019s normal to feel pressured by an imminent assessment. So avoid working with models that are makeup artists in this point. 04) Impatient models Usually family members are the most impatient with us due to their intimacy and etc. It\u2019s not a rule, but if you are working with an impatient model, whether family or not, be very careful. Remember that the concept that many people have about professional makeup is very shallow or null. They do not imagine that a makeup can take two or three hours to be ready, mainly when it is the criterion of study. In order for you to develop your skill you will need to be calm), relaxed) and without time pressure, so avoid this type of situation for you at this stage of your learning. Consider paying a symbolic fee to your models, even if they are friends or family, this will give you the right to demand punctuality and commitment. After all, you can\u2019t schedule your practical class, get everything ready and your model simply send a message canceling at the last minute, right? Focus on the journey that you will reach the target. HOW MUCH PRACTICE TIME DOES IT TAKE? Practice time varies from student to student.There are people who learn faster, others more slowly, some already have an aptitude for makeup or a certain previous experience, etc. Understand MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 77 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide that you will not start with makeup at the highest level of excellence, it doesn\u2019t exist. Every person who does something very well today had a beginning. Your journey has two pillars that will support your level of performance: 01) Theoretical knowledge Baseline The theoretical baseline knowledge will be all the mental content regarding the most diverse subjects related to professional makeup that you will need to study, possess and be in constant update so that you can have fluency in your work as a professional makeup artist. 02) Skills and competences This pillar encompasses all the skills and resourcefulness with the brushes. It is where the knowledge stored in your mind manifests itself in a real skill, and skills are forged in training, the more you practice the better you will become. CONSTANCY IN THE PRACTICE OF PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP I have already discussed the importance of constancy here in the guide, but it\u2019s worth remembering. Constancy is more important than intensity. Strive to remain consistent in practice, especially if you are still in the early stages of the journey. The frequency of the practices depends on the content being studied, the more complex the more repetitions are necessary, that is, the greater the frequency necessary for the development of the skill. When it comes to training, the more frequent and constant you can be the better. Get organized to carry out at least a training of 03 hours per week for simpler subjects and \/ or up to 03 or more for more complex subjects. ACHIEVING SUPER ADVANCED STAGES IN PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP It may be that even after you learn the basics, advance to the middleman, acquire the ability to do makeup, serve clients and earn money and you are in some way evolving in your professional makeup journey, you may have some specific doubts and difficulties that you probably know if I overcame them I would be able to go to the next level, but somehow they have not been able to overcome them alone. Below are some solutions for students who are already advanced but want to go to the highest, boldest and most ambitious levels. MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 78 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide 01) Mentoring Mentoring is a relationship in which a more experienced or knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored, but he or she must have practical experience in what he or she proposes to mentor. It is a kind of tutoring in which the mentor helps the mentee to master a knowledge to perform a job and prepares him to grow in the company and in his career. It is like an awakening, in which the mentor unleashes the potential of each person. A great mentoring is one in which the mentor has a thorough knowledge of the market and the business model in which the mentee acts and is attentive to innovations. In addition, it feels good to help and be part of the professional growth of the person or business. It is like asking someone who already knows the forest, what is the best path to take, and not only that, to receive all instructions and accompaniment during the journey. 02) Coaching Once in an interview with FORTUNE magazine, Google CEO Eric Shimidt was asked what was the best advice he had ever received and he replied that it was about having a coach. One of the members of Goolgle in 2002, John Door said, \u201cYou need a coach\u201d, and he said, \u201cWell I don\u2019t need a coach, I\u2019m a stabilized CEO. why I would need a coach, is something wrong? \u201d. You don\u2019t need a coach, everyone needs a coach. \u201d Every famous athlete, every famous artist has a coach, someone to watch what you\u2019re doing and say \u201cIs that what you meant? Did you really do that? to give them a perspective. One thing people are never good at is looking at them as others see them. A coach really helps. 03) Specializations Unlike the training courses that take the individual from scratch and transform them into professionals in a certain area, in our case makeup, without a doubt the evolution and transformation are gigantic, however after reaching certain levels of training, each individual identifies some or some points in the which he has more difficulty or which need to be improved, or even a specific topic in which he wants to become an expert and go a little deeper, for this there are specializations. They are specific courses to deepen in a single theme, in which it is possible to further and better clarify the subject in question. Just as a formal graduation is necessary so that the person has the structural knowledge of the profession and only then MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 79 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide can make a specialization in dermatology for example. So also the makeup artist who wants to become a specialist in bridal makeup, or black skin, or any other subjects, must undergo a complete and advanced training, otherwise they will not be able to become a full professional. It is like wanting to send someone who has not graduated from high school to college. 04) Presencial live events Back there I talked about the different types of people and how their way of learning is different, some are more visual, others are auditory and others are more kinesthetic, face-to-face events are especially effective for the latter group, but not only for them. When people meet with a common goal, an egregore is formed where emotional experiences can be lived, in addition to exchanging contacts and learning, so face-to-face events can also be useful in the professional makeup artist\u2019s evolutionary process when they have a good methodological structure, good organization and aim at a beneficial experience for the student. 04) MasterMind MasterMind\u2019s goal is to make an above-average group of people able to help each other with the power of energy, enthusiasm and the will to succeed. All this through advice, sharing experiences, exchanging contacts and more. Calm down if you were interested in joining a MasterMind group and would like to join one as soon as possible. To join the team, you need to be invited to participate in the meetings. If that happens, thank him for the opportunity he was given. Know that huge changes will happen in your life and in your company, if applicable. 05) Work in an environment alongside other more experienced makeup artists than you You have probably heard the phrase: \u201cYou are the average of the five people you live with the most.\u201d In fact, working in an environment where there are more professional makeup artists and especially if they are at levels higher than yours will be important to propel you towards higher levels within your learning journey. Be careful because even great makeup artists in their ability to make up can have behavioral patterns of failure, so be sure to filter your level of involvement with each one so as not to be negatively influenced, believe me: there are a lot of good people at what they do but who don\u2019t think positive, no acts proactively and even MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 80 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide gets in the way of those who really want something.

Let\u2019s check out some: 01) Beauty salon There are several ways to act as a makeup artist. If you are just starting out and do not yet have a client portfolio, it is very interesting to join a beauty salon where you can attend clients who are already looking for the salon, you can to benefit from the entire structure of the space to serve clients and also make it easier for them (those you get through advertising, referrals, etc.) as they will enjoy the services that other professionals in the salon offer. Clients generally want to do makeup, hair, nail, eyebrow all in the same place as this way it becomes more comfortable for them. 2) Home care When I started my career, I also performed with home makeup service for a while, as many clients seek this service for the convenience of not having to leave home. Generally for this type of service it is important to charge a travel fee as you will need to go from one location to another and will need time to reorganize your products in each place you are going to attend on the day. 3) Photo Studios \/ Video and TV producers Another field of activity that you can also explore are production companies, photo studios, TV networks, etc. Depending on the demand, it can be high and there may be the possibility of a contract, a way to guarantee a fixed income if you are looking for this kind of stability. 4) Entrepreneurship It\u2019s very important that you take the profession seriously, both for the responsibility it brings and also for the growth opportunities that you will have if you act in the right way. Many make-up artists start as free-lancers on weekends to supplement their income and at some point they abandon their other professional activities to dedicate themselves only to MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 83 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide makeup because it is a profession that brings a lot of satisfaction when you like what you do.

When the professional reaches a high level of professional development, it\u2019s natural that invitations to teach courses will appear, and this is a great opportunity for gains and professional achievement.

Among several courses, I chose Raphael Oliver\u2019s, invested a considerable amount and my husband asked me if I wasn\u2019t crazy about investing all this, but I was determined. A month after the course I was already charging $30 and already serving around 6 clients per weekend. I set up my studio in my own home and started meeting important people in my city, and the peak was that I earned $500 in a single day of service, my husband almost didn\u2019t believe it. Today I am a reference in my city and in addition to not running out of customers I am teaching self-makeup courses and charging $200.00 I am very happy because even during the pandemic of Corvid-19 period I made 4 deals for the course and I made $800.00. I am very happy to have taken the decision to take the course with Raphael because I literally saw my life change after this one course I took, I felt prepared to start and in fact I did.

In Raphael Oliver\u2019s course I learned makeup techniques and concepts that brought me gains both in serving my clients and in the production of courses, both in terms of pigmentation and in the notion of building makeup, the right place for each color in eyes and etc. Looking back I can see a crystal clear evolution in my performance as a makeup artist in the sense that now I can dare in styles that before I had no security, and that was incredible because I started to attract new student profiles and brought me even more repercussions in my job. Before the course I had around 03 to 04 students per month and after the course with Raphael and his techniques I doubled the amount of students reaching up to 07 students per month. After the course I even felt confident to readjust the values. The peak was when I was invited to teach at a professional makeup workshop where I had the opportunity to share my knowledge with many people, this is very rewarding.

I met Raphael personally at a workshop in Barranquilla, Colombia in June \/ 2019 where I learned a lot and decided that day that I wanted to take more courses with him, it was then that in February \/ 2020 I traveled to Brazil to take 02 courses with Raphael, it was an excellent experience, I learned a lot and I came back to Colombia. Before the course I already attended clients, and taught courses in my makeup studio. After the course I started posting the makeups I learned and started to gain more followers, big pages in my country started to send me compliments and I started to have so many clients that I started having to dispense some of them for not being able to attend them all by myself. Before the course I had only one student per month on average, now I teach courses for groups of 03 people at once and close around 04 courses per month, and with people from other cities who come to learn from me.

Before the course with Raphael I took a course with another makeup artist, I paid around $ 400 for a day of the course, where two makeup looks were taught, I was totally dissatisfied, the professional did not have good teaching skills and at the time of practice when we asked something she sometimes didn\u2019t answer or responded with a bad mood. It was a group of only 06 people, and even so I was unable to learn practically anything and I left very frustrated. After the course with Raphael I gained more self-esteem and self-confidence in relation to my work, before I constantly thought that the work of others was better than mine, and now I see that my work has value. Proof of this is that before I worked in a salon where I earned an average of $ 375 per month and charged $ 40 for makeup, and after the course I was invited to work in a new, more refined space in which my income went to $ 2.000 monthly, in this place where I am now the makeup costs $ 75 and I am sure that both the fact that I am in this place, conquer more customers every day and leave and leave the owner of the salon super satisfied with my work is due to the fact that I have lived this transformative experience in Raphael\u2019s course, I recommend his work to every makeup artist who wishes to succeed in this career.

I always wanted to grow and be recognized, but in my work at the station I had a limitation in salary and growth, in addition to being very stressful with very high goals and I was very emotionally drained. I wanted to quit @marianabarrosmakeup my job at the station, I had been contemplating leaving for a while but I didn\u2019t have the courage, I actually wanted to change my life radically and the makeup took up more and more space becoming a force for me as a therapy, a moment of connecting with people in a different way. In Aragua\u00edna there was no one who taught self-makeup courses and as there was a shortage and there were a lot of people wanting to, I started offering this service, however I looked at my work and I was not satisfied, I felt that I was lacking in techniques, I felt that more details were lacking. There were a lot of things that I had doubts about, how to take the brush for example and how to do some details such as finishing an outline, finishing the eyebrows, which products to use and in what order. The doubts and difficulties I had limited me and did not let me go on. I searched the internet for answers but never found what I needed, so I felt that I needed a professional course and with someone who would not be afraid to teach. In the first days after the course it was a shock because the techniques were very different from what I did before, I had to completely change the way I put on makeup and it took MAKEUP - The learning journey | The Ultimate Guide \u00a9 2020 90 All rights reserved.","MAKEUP - The Learning Journey | The Ultimate Guide me a while to adapt, train and believe that I would be able to do all that, however little by little the chips were falling, as the days passed I was able to do the techniques.

In addition to the techniques I learned in the course, there was also a change in my mental paradigm, really after the course I was prepared both in the psychological part and in the ability to make up for myself in addition to gaining more motivation. So I decided to move to Foz do Igua\u00e7u, I left my job at the station to live exclusively on professional makeup. It was a fresh start, my husband\u2019s friends started helping me to publicize my work and I decided to start from scratch applying everything I had learned from Raphael. I cleaned up my Instagram taking several photos that didn\u2019t value my work, I bought professional lighting and quality products, I partnered with a city blogger to help spread the word even more and I set up a studio at my house, in fact I was afraid people didn\u2019t want to go there, it was challenging for me but it worked, people didn\u2019t think it was bad, on the contrary, they really liked it because I organized everything in a cozy and loving way. I started making productions on models, after that there was a leap, people started to see the photos and praise and I became known among the university students in the city. Before Raphael\u2019s course I charged $ 70.00 for social makeup and after the course I increased it to $ 90.00. It was incredible because I started to have around 15 more clients per month after the course, even increasing the value. It closed an average of 02 courses per month, and after the course I started to give VIPS self-makeup courses, charging around R $ 150.00 and 100.00 for small groups of 03 to 04 people. I started to have an average of 10 VIP courses per month and in pairs and groups around 5 courses per month.

However, as I was not able to help at home, I got a formal job in a laboratory and during my lunch break and weekends I did makeup work. At that time, I still didn\u2019t have my product kit, I used the customers\u2019 own products, it happened a lot, I always managed to serve customers during my breaks. I started studying alone when I could and had access at the time, it was difficult and heavy, there was also a negative point: I had no course and people charged me a lot for it, but I kept going even in the face of these difficulties. Time passed and I fell more and more in love with makeup and realizing that I could have a lot of results doing what I like. It was then that I met Raphael and his work on social networks and started to accompany him. One day I saw a post on his Instagram saying he was going to teach a course in Belo Horizonte, the capital of my state, I talked to my mother and decided that I would take his course and it was me and a friend who is also a makeup artist and my partner, we went by bus to BH to do the MasterClass. Before the course I had a lot of difficulty in making contours, I didn\u2019t understand why and how to use it, the smoky black eye was also complicated for me and also the photography and advertising part of my work.

For this reason, I believe that the student is in fact experiencing an inner transformation following the journey of the professional make-up artist and his vision of reality changes completely. Unfortunately, the study of professional makeup currently takes place in a not so effective way so that the student takes years and needs to pursue several courses in addition to investing a lot of money until in fact It can become the makeup professional It want to be. This is not due to bad faith of the almost unanimous mass of courses, schools and institutions available, but because of a lack of knowledge of the real physical and mental reality experienced by the person who engages in the journey of learning professional makeup, and therefore they are unable to fact to offer an effective, efficient, enlightening, assertive and shorter term solution for this student to achieve his goals in a safe and secure way. What saddens me most as an educator, mentor and coach is that many do not know that there are alternative paths to all the current status quo and unfortunately ends up discouraging and giving up after having already dreamed, made plans or even invested money in your project. I literally started from zero and managed to reach international recognition, in addition to changing my financial, personal life and my whole reality during my journey, I actually found and formatted a transformative method that I share with my students and people who have the opportunity to achieve. Throughout my journey I have been teaching and also constantly learning that successful people fear shortcuts, they don\u2019t take the seemingly easier or cheaper way, they make decisions, pay prices, sacrifice themselves and make their lives worth fighting for. who believe and end up making a big difference in the world. They understand that time will pass in the same way, whether they are doing something of value or not, and that is why they prefer to dedicate themselves for what is worth in their lives, and that is why they are constantly reaping fruits of abundance, fulfillment, happiness and being light in the lives of those around them. Working with makeup is about serving people, using your gift and skill to make important moments of others more beautiful, brighter and brighter, and that is priceless.
