How to equip a makeup artist's workplace?
In recent years, the profession of a make-up artist has become so relevant that many girls equip "beauty parlors" even at home. This is due to the fact that the demand for this kind of services has grown very much, you no longer need to paint at home, and the services of makeup artists have become quite affordable. Whatever the occasion, be it a wedding, birthday or other celebration, ladies immediately turn to the creators of beauty. In this article, we will take a closer look at the make-up artist's workplace, learn about the design of a home office and the necessary furniture.
How to register an account?
To equip a workplace, many novice craftsmen are in no hurry to rent a separate office, preferring a house. Indeed, not to the detriment of square meters, such a "home salon" will not take up much space, because it requires a minimum of furniture.
Home office design is preferable to choose from modern styles. Hi-tech and minimalism will be a great solution. You can also pay attention to the Art Deco style.
No matter where the office is located, cleanliness, order and comfort should reign in it. Everything should be arranged on shelves, tools should be ordered, nothing should distract the master and the client. Disorder at home is unacceptable.
It is best to use muted shades for decoration, nude and the entire palette of pink, which girls love so much.
Relevant for the design of the place of the makeup artist are also white, black, gold and silver... In general, the design can be chosen at the discretion of the makeup artist himself, and any colors and shades can dominate in it, but it should be understood that the design largely determines how comfortable the clients will be in it and whether they will come back again.Many experts are sure that acid and gloomy colors in the interior of even the smallest makeup artist's office are repulsive.
Great attention should also be paid to a high-quality mirror, preferably large, so that the client can observe the process. While many makeup artists paint clients so they don't see themselves during the process, many are distracted. Besides, preference should be given to comfortable chairs, because the makeup process is often not a matter of 10 minutes.
Furniture should be ideally combined in style with the interior of the room. Also, to create coziness, you can place vases with flowers in the workplace area, which always attract attention.
What kind of furniture do you need?
To equip the workplace of a make-up artist at home, you need a minimum amount of furniture, but this does not mean that you should save on it, because the overall impression depends on the furniture.
So, there must be:
- mirrors - one large and several small;
- a chair for a client and a chair for a make-up artist, preferably high;
- table or counter for cosmetics and all tools, sometimes it is recommended to purchase a table immediately with a mirror;
- ring luminous lamp - perhaps today a lamp of this kind is an integral part of any, even the smallest beauty salon;
- travel bag or large suitcase for storage and transportation of cosmetics.
Depending on the size of the room, you can also arrange a small sofa and a coffee table, organizing a waiting area. In addition, the presence of a TV will be useful.
Mirror selection rules
Recently, makeup artists are increasingly choosing mirrors in the style of a backlit dressing room. Such models are very much loved not only by the masters, but also by the clients themselves, because they create some kind of amazing atmosphere. Mirrors with bulbs located around the perimeter are considered to be the winning ones, only they give the highest quality and clearest reflection.
Many professional makeup artists agree that it is best to purchase a mirror with illumination, since it is possible to evaluate all possible inaccuracies and irregularities of the makeup in it.
Today, makeup artists can purchase a mirror:
- internally backlit;
- with external illumination;
- with decorative.
Which of the types is better for a particular room, it is up to the master to decide. When choosing an additional tabletop mirror, it is best to give preference to rotating models with two-sided reflection.
When placing a 120 cm mirror on the wall, it is desirable that the client sees himself up to his knees, and 60 cm - up to his waist. At the same time, the most popular are mirrors exactly 50 to 50, which are chosen by professional make-up artists in many beauty salons. The most durable are LED mirror models. - they are many times better than samples with conventional incandescent lamps.
Lighting
Light is everything for a makeup artist. No matter how harmoniously the interior of a home office is created, no matter how beautifully brushes and lipsticks are laid out, without the right light, it will not work to achieve a high-quality make-up. It is very important that the office has:
- main lighting - light from a chandelier on the ceiling;
- modeling light - directed to the face of the client or model at an angle of forty-five degrees;
- painting light - created against shadows.
With the right light, you can be confident in the success of future makeup, light should be exposed not only from above, but also from all sides... With the right lighting, not only is it convenient to work with, it can also create great photographs that will surely come in handy for a master's portfolio.
As lighting, you can choose neon, it is very reminiscent of daylight, or lamp, which gives a warm light, quite close to the evening. It is impossible to say which of the lighting options is the best, it all depends on the taste preferences of the master and the makeup itself.
The ring lamp as an additional light source will be useful to all craftsmen, without exception, therefore you shouldn't skimp on purchasing it.
