May 2021 | At the Daniel Bauer Makeup Academy, we embrace the art of pushing boundaries. Daniel himself is a firm believer in breaking the rules when it comes to makeup—but, there's a big but. There are a few essential technical steps that will always ensure your makeup looks nothing short of fantastic.

Finding the Right Makeup Artist Course

It's important to find a course that gives you the real stuff—something that focuses on practical skills and technique. That's where the magic happens.

Foundation: Achieving the perfect base requires more than just foundation. To really nail flawless skin, you need three products working together—corrector, concealer, and foundation. These three essentials will help cover acne marks, reduce dark circles, and smooth out your complexion. You can’t rely on foundation alone for these results. These products are affordable and, when used correctly, make all the difference.

Highlighting: Highlighting can give you that million-dollar glow, but when applied wrong, it can leave your face looking swollen and bruised. Avoid highlighting the tip of your nose, as it will make your nose appear larger. Similarly, highlighting the apples of your cheeks along with your cheekbones can have the opposite effect of creating a plumper, slimmer face. Focus on highlighting areas with bone structure to help shape and define, making your face look more oval and slender.

Fear of the Wrong Choice: A friend once told me, “There’s no such thing as an ugly person, only ugly makeup.” I couldn’t agree more. Makeup is an expression of who you are. If the rules say a red lipstick doesn’t suit your skin tone, but it makes you feel confident and aligns with your personality—go for it! The most important thing is to stay true to yourself. Don’t let the so-called "fashion police" dictate your choices.

Wherever you decide to learn makeup, make sure you find a makeup artist course that reflects your personality and your passion for the craft.
