Editor's note: Makeup artistry styles can be as different as apples and oranges.
Learning different techniques and uses of color will make
you more versatile, allowing you to see a final result in
a variety of ways, with one common result: beauty. The following
pictorial was provided by Joe Blasco, who encourages you to
take example from his makeup application tip and techniques.
Base selection:To
choose the proper foundation, you must determine the undertone
and value of the client's skin. Undertone is the intrinsic color
found within the skin. Value is the lightness or darkness of
the kin. The base should realistically match the undertone,
which can be divided into two categories: Olive and ruddy.
