Make-Up - Little Tricks With A Big Effect

The term make-up was first used in the 20th century to mean of "to make oneself up" - in other words, to appear younger, healthier and more attractive. Whilst make-up is by no means a secret it does require a lot of skill and equipment to use effectively.

Everyday make-up

The most common use of cosmetics is in everyday life. Here, make-up usually consists of a tinted day cream or foundation, mascara and a subtle lip colour. Many people also use eye shadow, eyeliner and dark mascara - because eye make-up emphasises the face most effectively. Cosmetic products for everyday use are designed to last for several hours but still be easy to remove - because no matter how sophisticated the products are today: Your skin needs recovery and care phases.

Professional make-up

The bigger the occasion, the bigger the look. The products used are therefore held to a higher standard; they should not only achieve an exclusive effect, but also stay on better and be more resilient than everyday cosmetics. However, salon products do not fulfil these requirements by themselves - only in the hands of a trained professional to they really come to shine. Make-up artists services are aimed at anyone who has big plans and wants make-up that is as extraordinary as it is long-lasting. Whether it's a prom, wedding or fancy dress party, experienced beauticians use selected products and sophisticated make-up techniques to ensure that your festive or bridal make-up lives up to the occasion. Alternatively, templates are also available. Make-up tattoos are available for carnival or Halloween, for example, which deceptively realistically depict dark skin tones, exposed teeth or bloody cuts. They can withstand a lot, but can be easily removed with simple household remedies.

Special make-up

Off the shelf products are not enough for film shoots or photo shoots. This is where specially trained make-up artists who have mastered the use of various cosmetic products need to get involved. MUAs can achieve amazing results even with ordinary make-up tools; however, they usually have special products that are waterproof and smudge proof and make the make-up extremely resilient. Just the thing for sweaty action, underwater shots or scenes that require a lot of physical contact.
