Model Makeup Lessons

Don’t you dread a photo shoot when the photographer hasn’t organised a Makeup Artist and you have to do your makeup yourself? Book or attend an Iridis Cosmetics Model Makeup Lesson, where you will learn the tricks of the trade and how to create exceptional looks that compliment your features – and last.

You will learn:

• What high definition makeup is – and why it’s important for photo shoots
• How to apply makeup to suit your eye and face shape, and to enhance your beauty – one size does not fit all – learn the tricks so you look fantastic
• How to highlight and contour, to show off your cheekbones, bone structure and gorgeous features
• What makeup sins you should avoid if your shots are likely to be turned into B&W
• How to create a smoky eye look without looking like you’ve been punched in the eye
• Insider tips on applying false lashes to make sure they stay put
• What colours will showcase your beautiful eyes and lips – and how to apply them without looking clownish
• How to change your makeup between shots to get a different look
• How to keep your makeup on and looking fresh
• How to communicate with the photographer to ensure you’re shot from your best angle, so you get what YOU want out of the shoot (even if it is TFP) and get photos you’ll love
