Teach Makeup and Skin Care
Have you asked yourself this question? If I want to Teach Makeup and Skin Care classes in my home, what equipment will I need for a small class of six or less students?
First I want to say congratulations on booking a makeup class. This is
one of the best ways to attract customers and build relationships.
You want to keep your table clean and simple. So here goes:
Sanitation-
To prevent infection and keep products clean minimum use of sanitation
requirements are a must for home makeup artists. Because of bacteria,
which can be harmful and produce diseases, The home makeup artist
“teacher” must know how to maintain sanitary conditions for each
customer in her class.
Be
sure to disinfect each area that your student will be sitting at. Her
work surface should be equipped with the following supplies.
- Place mat
- A clean sanitized steel palette with disinfected brushes, tools and cosmetics.
- Hand sanitizer
- Alcohol- 91 percent isopropyl or higher alcohol for lip and eye pencils
- Sharpener
- Tissue’s
- Disposable mascara wands
- Cosmetic sanitizer and
- Brush cleaner on hand at all times
- Separate clear plastic bag for disposable applicators and used brushes
Be
sure to emphasize that No one should double dip the mascara wands and
applicators. This is unhygienic and can be a breeding ground for
bacteria. Always throw them away after each use to prevent spreading of
virus and bacteria.
Keeping
everyone safe will be appreciated and help with future bookings. You
are the expert and following this simple but most important step will
show that you are.
A chair for each person-
This is self explanatory. You want everyone to be comfortable and
not have to stand for hours. That's your job. However, it is OK for you
to sit. Test this and see how it feels for you and your audience.
Applicators-
Are key tools in your beauty routine. These include makeup brushes,
and applicators such as the small little sponge tip wands, cotton swabs,
sponge wedges.
Utilizing
makeup brushes assures a higher quality of cosmetic application as
compared to using the fingers. Fingers are usually not a good idea when
applying makeup. The liquid doesn't get absorbed into the skin and
just sits on top of your fingers, for a heavy application. Think finger
painting in kindergarten.
The basic brushes that you will need are:
- Foundation Brush- have long, flat bristles that are tapered at the ends, allowing for accurate and precise application of foundation or concealer.
- Powder- are big and fluffy, with many bristles to pick up loose powder. These brushes are to dust makeup powder evenly and loosely across the skin.
- Blush- used for adding blush colors onto the cheeks.
- Eyeshadow brushes- have at least three different types.
Cosmetics- Makeup and Skin Care
Last
but not least, make sure that you have plenty of makeup and skin care
products at each persons station. Or you can even have two or three
people share a group of products. Have these groups of products
arranged so that people can easily reach them without reaching over
someone else.
Minimum products to use should be:
- Cleanser
- Moisturizer
- Eye cream
- Eye-shadows
- Eyebrow pencil
- Eyeliner
- 3D Mascara
- Lip-liner
- Lipstick
- Blush
The
goal is to have your students/customers try on as much as they can and
feel comfortable with. The more they try on the more they will buy. If
they only try on one or two products, than they will only buy maybe one
or two products. This is so much fun for people and they really love
to buy what they try.
Face Chart
This
is my favorite tool. As you teach each application, your student can
make notes or apply the colors right to her face chart. You want to
instruct her to write down on the face chart all of the colors that she
is using. This will help her to remember what she used, and will have
it as a reference for later use, just in case she wants to order at a
later time.
FYI- Make
sure that your information such as your name, website, phone number is
printed on the face chart so that she will be able to order from you
quickly and easily.
So get the products on them, and have a blast.
Good Luck
