Makeup

Natural makeup focuses on creating a fresh, effortless appearance that enhances the face while looking minimal and skin-like. The goal is often to avoid appearing “fully made up.” It typically uses softer coverage, subtle definition, and lightweight finishes.

Neutral makeup just refers to the color palette being used rather than the intensity of the application. Neutral looks use softer, balanced shades like browns, taupes, peaches, soft pinks, and muted tones that complement most skin tones.

[Neutral makeup can be minimal and natural, or it can still be full glam depending on the technique and finish.]

Glam makeup focuses on more skin coverage, intentional shaping and dimension, polished blending, enhanced eyes or lashes, and an overall more styled finish. Glam can be soft and neutral or bold and dramatic in color, but the defining feature is that the makeup is intentionally elevated and more visually impactful than everyday makeup.

Glam makeup is designed to create a polished, elevated, and visually refined appearance both in person and on camera. It focuses more on looking good in person with full coverage foundation, intentional dimension, enhanced features, and an overall finished look that remains flattering up close.

Stage makeup is an intense style of makeup designed to perform under stage lighting and cameras. It uses heavier pigmentation, stronger contour, sharper lines, and higher contrast to keep facial features from appearing washed out on stage or on camera. While it may appear overly dramatic in person, those techniques are necessary for visibility and definition under professional lighting.

This will vary on personal style but in general:

• Prom or Gala → Natural or Glam Makeup.

• Wedding Guest → Natural or Glam Makeup.

• Headshots → Glam Makeup (often requesting soft/neutral glam)

• Play → Stage Makeup

• Dance or Cheer Competition → In most cases, competition makeup falls under Stage Makeup due to the intense lighting + distance from crowd/judges.
