WEBVTT 00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:11.199 Hey beauties, I'm Carla, makeup artist, speaker, business owner, and founder of Creative Contour by Carla. 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.079 I believe we should love wearing makeup should we choose to. 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.079 In this podcast, I will break down the harmful rhetoric spewed by the beauty industry. 00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.960 Follow along to love yourself, gain confidence, and enjoy a little glam. 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.600 Hey beauties, welcome back to the Creative Contour by Carla podcast. 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.920 Today we're doing something a little bit differently. 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.479 We are going to take a look at Diana's speaker makeup, and we're going to break down the look in today's episode. 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:49.679 So it's important to mention that when Diana inquired with me for her speaker makeup look, that she requested a rather specific look. 00:00:49.920 --> 00:01:02.240 And she's actually sat in my makeup chair before, and she normally requests, I would say, what's considered a soft glam makeup style, but she also has a little bit of creativity because she's an artist. 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.920 So she leans into certain aspects of her makeup look depending on what she's wearing. 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:17.599 For this specific makeup look, she wanted still a soft glam style of makeup, but she did want a really super soft, smoky element of the makeup look. 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.359 So let's break it down. 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.120 So first we're gonna talk about eye makeup because this was really the focus of the look. 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:36.319 Now, in the eye makeup, I used a dark chocolate brown and I applied it in a really light manner so that we still have that soft, smoky focus. 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.079 And as you can see, Diana's eyes are a really bright blue. 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:50.319 So I really wanted to make sure that we draw attention to her eyes so that when people are watching her on stage, they're looking and making eye contact with her. 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.680 Now we're gonna talk about complexion. 00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:02.239 Now, because Diana is a returned client of mine, I know that she likes a skin-like finish when it comes to wearing foundation. 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:22.479 However, because she is speaking on stage and she'll be filmed, photographed, and under very heavy lighting, I did need to make an adaptation, which means that I applied makeup in a manner that feels like a skin-like finish, but the product that I used went on as a full coverage. 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:28.240 So when we do that, we're doing it to make her skin still look like skin. 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.639 However, it has a really smooth finish. 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.960 Now, when we're talking about complexion, we also have to acknowledge blush. 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:45.439 Blush is an important part of our makeup look, especially within the environment where Diana is speaking. 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:58.159 She's going to be photographed, she's going to be filmed, and she's going to be under bright lighting, which means that when we're applying makeup, we need to acknowledge this in our minds first as makeup artists. 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:07.520 And also for those of you who are speaking on stage and maybe you're doing your own makeup, you need to make sure that blush is applied in a little bit more of a heavy hand. 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.199 Let me explain. 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:28.159 The reason why blush has to be applied with a heavier hand when we're speaking on stage, when we're going to be photographed, when we're going to be filmed, is because what happens is the editing process when we're being photographed and filmed essentially washes out a lot of the color on our faces. 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.800 And of course, we're thinking about lighting as well. 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.800 Diana's speaking on stage, she's going to be under a lot of bright lighting. 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:42.000 So when we have a little bit of a heavier blush application, it maintains that kind of lively color in our face. 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.080 Now let's talk about how I finished the makeup look for Diana. 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:58.400 Diana specifically mentioned that she likes lipstick colors that have cool undertones in them, which means there's a lot of blue prominent in the undertone of the lip color. 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:11.840 Because we're doing a little bit more of a natural style of makeup with a more of an enhancement in the eyes, I really want to bring some balance into the makeup look by finishing with a soft pink lipstick. 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.560 So, beauties, this is the full breakdown of Diana's makeup look. 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:21.279 As you can see, it's really soft and polished with still a touch of glamour. 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.160 And you can also see she looks great on stage. 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.360 I hope you all enjoyed this episode, and I'll see you soon. 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:27.920 Bye bye.
