Discuss the role of colour in makeup application. Explain the benefits of proper colour selection and the problems of improper colour selection. Explain the effects of improper colour selection and how it can make and individual look sick, pale, tired, etc. If possible, use coloured scarves to demonstrate this.

Using a pink and a peach or gold and silver piece of material draped over the client, have students work in pairs to determine whether the client is warm or cool. Share findings with the class.

Or

Have students look at their wrists to determine colouring; if the veins are greenish yellow, they are warm, if the veins are bluish purple, you are cool.

Divide makeup into warm and cool colours. Explain to students that they will look best if they use colours that are suited to their skin, hair and eyes.

7.2A To demonstrate the uses of equipment, implements, cosmetics and materials when applying makeup.

Make a list of the equipment, implements, cosmetics, and materials that are used in makeup application. Students will copy the list for reference when they practise makeup application.

Demonstrate preparation of client. Review the procedure for makeup application. Demonstrate the procedure for makeup application with the use of implements, cosmetics, and materials. Review procedures for sanitation of equipment and implements. Explain safety while applying makeup.

Have students practise makeup application on themselves using appropriate colours. Provide student feedback during the practice.

Students will practice makeup using colours that are not suited to their skin colour. Discuss the feeling created when the wrong colours are used. Student responses should include; tired, sick, not as good as I did when I used the proper colours, etc. (IL)

OR

Invite a makeup artist into the class to demonstrate makeup application.

 

7.3A To perform an eyebrow arch. (CCT)

Introduce implements, supplies, and materials used in eyebrow arching. Identify eyebrow shapes. Determine appropriate eyebrow shape.

Module 7B: Makeup Application (Core)

Suggested time: 10-15 hours                     Level: Intermediate

Prerequisite: Module 7A

Learning Objectives

Notes

7.5B To review introductory learning objectives 7.1A - 7.4A. (COM)

Invite students to create a list of make-up application knowledge. Share with the class.

 

7.6B To develop an understanding of the purpose of highlighting and shading in make-up application. (COM)

Explain highlighting and shading or shadowing. Students should understand that highlighting emphasizes, and shadowing minimizes a feature.

 

7.7B To review facial shapes. (COM)

Review intermediate learning objective 4.10B, where students identify the perfect facial shape. The response should be an oval shape.

Using a diagram of a facial shape, discuss how one might use corrective make-up to create an illusion of an oval shape for other facial shapes. Students work in pairs to analyze the other facial shapes. Identify the areas that need to be shaded and discuss with the class.

Collect pictures of models with facial imperfections, e.g., small forehead, double chin, large nose, circles under eyes, etc. Ask students to identify the imperfections and discuss how foundation may be used to minimize or emphasize features.

 

7.8B To examine corrective make-up application.

Review blush application. Discuss how blush may be applied to the different facial shapes to create a more oval shaped face or to emphasize cheekbones.

Identify problem areas with eyes. Using a visual, discuss how shadowing can minimize and highlighting can emphasize. (CCT)

7.9B To demonstrate corrective make-up application. (IL)

Analyze model’s facial features. Discuss how the make-up may be applied to emphasize good features and minimize poor features. Review procedure for applying make-up. Apply make-up and review procedures for sanitation of equipment and implements.

Students practise analyzing a client’s facial features, decide how to emphasize and minimize facial features, and apply make-up. Provide feedback to students while they practise.
