Enchanting Esthetics
Including Tutorials
There are many different reasons why women wear makeup. They include things like looking younger and having clear-looking skin. The study of beauty and makeup is designed to teach the techniques that will help to create certain looks. Makeup can both hide our imperfections and highlight our best features. Furthermore, it is not just about physical enhancement; it is a psychological enhancement as well. I remember when I was a kid and couldn’t wait to wear make-up so I could be like the girls on Clueless (This was before I knew Stacey Dash was lost in the world). Lipstick was cool, mascara and eyeliner was oh so rad. I had to settle for Bonne Bell lip balm and those infamous clear flavored rollerball lip glosses. The only time I could wear make-up was for dance competitions. As I got older, I really started to explore. I remember stealing my Mom’s Black Opal shadows (some of which I have til this day). At one point in my life, I even thought of pursuing a career as an MUA. The reason being is because of the way make-up feels. It can hide unwanted blemishes, refine features and make a person feel better about themselves, boosting self-esteem and confidence on a daily basis.
Today, MUA's work in any number of fields. They work in the media to get people ready for the camera; some work in the fashion industry, preparing models for magazines and shows. Others work in salons and prepare people for weddings and other important events. It’s a sense of creative expression. It’s figuring out how many purple and gold smokey eyes one can come up with to go to their college football game. It’s beating your face so you can bolster your confidence if you so choose. You can’t keep me away from a good highlight and bold lip! I’m all for it. Make-up is for the wearer.
