Why Professional Makeup Lessons at Botanica are a Must

Flawless makeup application is definitely an art form and one that many of us are attempting and perfecting at home. Thanks to Instagram and YouTube Vloggers, the desire to be one of the elite makeups pros without being a certified professional is as coveted as a designer handbag! It should seem simple to create a very minimalistic, natural look with makeup, but it’s trickier than you might think. And when you want a more full-blown, contoured and bold makeup application, there is a lot to study and practice to get it right.

These techniques can grow and change with the seasons and with your evolving style, while always accentuating your best features and complementing your natural skin tone. Yes, you can spend hours pouring over makeup tutorials online, or you can learn it all in person with Botanica’s makeup artists!

Learning How to Do Makeup is Still a Thing

Botanica’s makeup lessons are designed to teach you proper makeup techniques that suit your needs, desires, style, features, and skin tone perfectly. Each lesson begins with a thorough consultation in order to learn about your skin care routine and determine what expectations you have regarding your makeup. This can be a really eye-opening consultation, as you could’ve had unrealistic expectations when considering your skin type (some makeup trends are not all skin type friendly, sadly), and have left you feeling frustrated by your inability to make those #makeupgoals.

Speaking with a professional beauty consultant can help you to understand what is possible so that you can achieve makeup goals you are happy with and won’t compromise your skin’s natural health and beauty. You may also learn more about your specific skin type and its needs, and how improving your basic skin care regimen–including through the use of better-suited skin care products–can further enhance your natural beauty and provide an even better canvas for makeup application!

Following the consultation, your professional beauty consultant will take a look at the current makeup items you are using. They will discuss with you what items may help you achieve your desired look and what items may actually be impairing your ability to reach your makeup goals. The fundamental basic start to makeup is learning how to create a classy, sophisticated, everyday look.

After all, you will likely desire an easy daily makeup routine that can be completed in roughly ten to fifteen minutes and can contribute to a beautiful, flawless look that lasts all day long. Once your professional consultant has determined both the best products and technique to achieve the makeup results you desire, they will walk you through the application process carefully, step-by-step, explaining what is occurring and answering any questions you may have.

They will instruct you in how to pick out the correct concealer and foundation shades, which color match compliments your skin tone best, different techniques that can help to bring out your natural features and how to create a wonderful, natural look. After you have learned how to create your simple daily look, your beauty consultant will help instruct you in how to take this look up a notch for fancier occasions, like a night out on the town.

We understand that watching a professional apply makeup to your face is quite different from applying your own makeup at home, and it can be overwhelming to consider the things you will have to remember in order to recreate the same desired look. Of course, any time you feel concerned or confused or perhaps just have a quick question, you are always welcome to call and speak with your professional beauty consultant to get further help. You are also encouraged to return for further lessons as needed or desired, in order to further refine your look or perhaps even give it a fresh twist whenever the seasons or your style and makeup ambitions change.

Group or Private Makeup Lessons

Makeup lessons can also be beneficial in helping one to scale down a makeup collection that is large and overwhelming, particularly when you bought makeup that you weren’t sure what to do with. Considering that you have likely acquired each product in your collection for a very specific reason and purpose, you may find it difficult to determine what should be kept and what should be discarded. A professional consultant can help immensely by determining which products are actually useful, and which products may actually be pointless or even detrimental to your look (again, not all makeup trends and products are for every skin type).

No matter what your makeup lessons cover, you are sure to leave the salon feeling satisfied and confident that you will know exactly how to best achieve the beautiful look you want! Instagram and Snapchat are waiting for them!

Love,
