FASHION STYLIST – TIP No 1

Elegant colours tend to be neutral such as beige’s, creams, whites, taupe,

grey, browns, navy and black colours. These are often a good choice for your “basic” wardrobe items.

FASHION STYLIST – TIP No 2

Youthful colours like pastels tend to suggest softness, and are pretty and feminine.

FASHION STYLIST – TIP No 3

Impact colours are primary colours. These include “jewel” colours such as ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue.

FASHION STYLIST – TIP No4

Green and blue are restful colours because these wavelengths of light strike the eye at a point where little adjustment is required by the eye to look at them.

HAIR STYLIST – TIP No 1      

When you are using hair styling products always read the instructions carefully before using the product. Some hair care products contain harmful ingredients. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands if necessary.

HAIR STYLIST – TIP No 2

Keep your equipment sterilised and clean to prevent bacteria forming. Always wash your hands before applying creams or lotions and replace lids on bottles to prevent spillage and cross contamination with other products.

MAKE UP ARTIST

To prepare the face for make up it is necessary to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin to make it ready. Apply cleanser to the face using a damp cotton wool pad. Massage this into the skin and remove excess cleanser with damp cotton wool.

Apply toner and blot dry with tissues.

Apply moisturiser to finish.

When working with models at a catwalk show or photo shoot it is often easier to prepare the models skin by standing behind them. Work from the neck up toward the face using continuous roll patting movements and paying close attention to creases in the skin.

Use the third finger to make gentle circular movements around the delicate eye areas of the face. Never apply too much pressure to this area as you don’t want to stretch or damage the skin. Work up the outside of the nose, outward around the eyes, and along the forehead with flowing stroking movements moulding the contours of the face.

There should be no jerky movements, one hand following the other, and always

maintaining contact with the skin. Complete the procedure by applying gentle pressure on the temples at the side of the forehead.
