Tricks of the Trade

A makeup artist's hands are his/her most precious tool. Use hands to warm concealers, blend foundation, or mix two lip shades. You can also use your hands to work makeup into your face so that the makeup feels like a part of the face and not like a mask. Your face should never feel "untouchable" even when it is fully made-up. The more comfortable you become using your hands on your face, the more natural your makeup will look.
