Black With a Pop of Color

Black is truly the most fashionable color! Black always seems to be in style and it goes with many other looks and colors. In the example below, you can see the model is wearing matching black distressed jeans and a shirt, and she brings the whole look to life with a cute pastel pink jacket. She could change out any jacket, accessory, or pair of sneakers to change the pop of color she wears, giving her look a lot of versatility!

Layers for Days

Here we see the distressed jeans make another return, this time with some fresh white kicks and a green jacket over a white shirt. Being smart with layers can keep options open. Nearly any jacket or shirt can be swapped out with this outfit while keeping the style the same. The jeans are the most important part of keeping the look together and down to earth.

Skirts & Blouses

Much like a good pair of jeans, a few smart, stylish skirts can provide a lot of variety when choosing an outfit for each day at school. Pleated skirts are making a special comeback, so don鈥檛 be afraid of a few creases! Combine those skirts with your favorite blouse and you have the perfect semi-casual look for school or anything else! Catching on to the pattern here? Pick clothing items with a lot of versatility!

Smart Makeup For Smart Students

What kind of back to school fashion blog would this be if we didn鈥檛 talk about how to manage makeup for rushed mornings and long days? More than anything else, keep it simple. Doing lips, lashes, and brows only takes a few minutes and can look fantastic. With a few more minutes your kids can do some blush or eyeshadow, but who are we kidding? If it鈥檚 teenage kids we鈥檙e talking about, they鈥檙e going to be in bed until the last minute! Making sure they have a few minutes to frame the face is all they need to look fantastic for a long day at school.

Don鈥檛 Deny The Denim

Denim has a way of staying in style for a long time! The denim jacket is the perfect staple for any young lady going back to school because they are versatile, warm, and they look amazing! They can be combined with any kind of print, color, or pattern and still look great. Make sure this one makes it into the shopping cart!

Quick and Creative Thinking

An interest in makeup artistry means you鈥檙e a creative person. Makeup is a great way to play with colors, textures, shading, and other artistic elements. If you鈥檙e working with special effects makeup for theater, film, or TV, you can transform people into characters. To be a good makeup artist, you need to be able to use that creativity at the drop of a hat. When you鈥檙e working on a photo shoot or behind the scenes of a film, you鈥檝e got a deadline to meet. This is where preparation and research come in handy! Use your curiosity to find out what you鈥檙e trying to achieve as a makeup artist. Whether you鈥檙e reading a magazine to learn about new trends, or digging into the psyche of the character you鈥檙e creating, a little bit of creative prep work goes a long way in this fast-paced industry.

Effective Time Management

Time management is critical in makeup artistry. You may have to do a look on several clients in a short amount of time. When you鈥檙e working on set with a photographer or film director, timeliness is even more important. This means you need to be on time and prepared before the clients, whether they鈥檙e models, actors, or brides, show up. Getting to work on time, or even early, is crucial as a makeup artist. To be efficient once you get to work, get all your tools and products cleaned, prepped, and ready ahead of time. Working at a runway show? You鈥檙e likely going to do makeup for dozens of models in only a few hours time. Have your reference photos ready so you know what you鈥檙e doing. Whatever you need to do to manage your time as a makeup artist, do it! Show up on time and work efficiently. It will make clients respect you as a professional and want to hire you again.

The Ability to Talk and Work With New People

Makeup artists don鈥檛 usually stay in one place for work. This means you鈥檒l meet a lot of new people. Other beauty professionals, directors, photographers, designers, actors, and models are a few types of people you might work with as a makeup artist. This is a great career if you鈥檙e outgoing and like talking to new people. When someone is in your makeup chair, they might be nervous about a film scene or about walking a runway. Chatting with them can put them at ease. Being friendly and warm to your clients and peers is not only professional, but the best way to form good relationships. In the beauty industry success is often about 鈥渨ho you know鈥�. If you鈥檝e got a good rapport with a client or fellow industry professional, it could lead to useful networking opportunities for your future.

Organization and Cleanliness

Keeping your tools clean and organized is an important part of makeup artistry. Makeup artists work with dozens of products every day, ranging from primer, foundation, and powder, to lipstick, mascara, and setting spray. Each of these products will require a different type of brush or sponge for application. When you鈥檙e using products and tools on multiple clients, . Forgetting to wash a brush or using the same mascara wand on two different clients can spread bacteria and infection. Keeping disposable applicators, brush shampoos, palettes, and spatulas, and cleaning alcohol on hand at all times is the best way to keep everything squeaky clean. The way you store and organize your tools is also important for hygiene. Dirty and clean brushes should never mix. Make sure you鈥檙e prepared with tool pouches or special plastic containers so your workspace will stay clean and bacteria-free at all times.

A Passion for Makeup

To thrive as a makeup artist, you need to have passion. That鈥檚 what interested you in the career in the first place, right? Beauty is a creative industry where passionate people thrive. If you love what you do, you鈥檙e much more likely to do it with extra love and care. When a client sees how much you love your work, they鈥檒l want to work with you again. They may even share your information with other influential people. The beauty industry is always changing. If you鈥檙e passionate about makeup, you probably keep up-to-date on products, trends, and brands. Being well-informed is the best way to stay current. Clients will want you to create modern looks and expect you to know what makeup styles are trending. Use your innate passion and drive to stay ahead of the curve and give clients exactly what they want!

Ombre

Ombre has been a popular trend for a couple of years now. First with the hair and then with ombre lipstick. Take the trend and make it your own with an ombre dress! This is especially convenient if you can鈥檛 decide on two different colors of a dress. Pick an ombre dress that blends both!

We love how classy and loud this dress is. The flowers are gorgeous and are so eye-catching! Wear this dress with a sophisticated updo paired with an elegant necklace and matching earrings. Don鈥檛 forget your red lips!

Crop Top

Nothing like combining two trends in one. Believe it or not, you can make a crop top look elegant. This dress looks amazing with loose curls and sultry eye makeup. Step out of your comfort zone with a dress like this and wear it with confidence!
