How to Survey a Makeup Canvas

Video Transcript

"ERIN KEITH: Hi, I'm Erin and you're watching Expert Village and today, we're going to be working on corrective base make-up. Next off, we're going to survey the canvas. Here we have [PH] Jamie. Say hello. All right, and first off, we're going to notice what kind of skin tone she has. She has a little bit of yellowish tones to her, which is also going to help us with picking out the colors for today that we're going to be using. Also, we need to take notice of any blemishes or dark circles, things like that, discolorations. There's a little bit of maybe purplish blue under the eyes that can be corrected with yellow, more of a yellow tone. Like I said, that will also go in with her skin. We have a little bit of reddish hair on the apples of the cheeks or whatever, easily covered but, once again to that, yellow or maybe a green can--like an olive color can take that discoloration away. We also need to look at the bone structure. Jamie has awesome, amazing, amazing bone structure. Just the cheekbones, the jaw line, everything is very cut, very structured. I love it. But we're also--we're going to accentuate that today, too, when we're doing our corrective base makeup. So, and other than that, eyebrows, they frame the eyes of the face. They actually frame the face in a way, so we just kinda take a look at that as well, and we're ready to begin."
