skin conditions

Whilst learning to be a makeup artist you need to be aware of different skin conditions that may be presented to you. These conditions can range from acne to eczema. Different preparations and types of makeup will need to be used to suit the clients needs.

For example, with acne, a serum may be applied to the face to protect the skin from it becoming more contaminated by the makeup. The skin should also be cleansed every day and medication may be required, depending on the severity of the condition. With eczema, the skin should be properly moisturised before makeup is applied as it may irritate the skin. A deep moisturising lotion could be used daily to treat the condition and reduce the dryness of the skin.
