Wanna look wide awake? Makeup will help you. Look how she added all that life and light to your face. The final stage, transformation, occurs when someone looks drastically different from their non made up self, but is not obviously wearing a costume. They have used cosmetics (and often other products) to look like a different person entirely. These transformations are accomplished using physical makeup and/or digital filters, and warp perceptions (and our reality) in a different way. It’s also important to note that transformation and expression often have very fluid boundaries. These boundaries are encountered most often in gender or cultural expressions and traditions — making the subject look like a different person, but expressing a truth of some dimension of their identity.

Today, we're going to be talking through a popular question that we get asked here at Jecca Blac and sharing some great tips for creating male to female makeup transformations.

We can add other components to complement this spectrum and consider how factors like co-creation, sharing, imitation, and more interact. But for the purposes of this exploration, let’s consider the full Accessory → Transformation spectrum and trace its progression to see how people are using makeup.

The First Stages of Transformation The next time your compact, blush or eyeshadow breaks, don’t worry. Just add some rubbing alcohol and hold it in place. Make sure to press firmly with a flat object separated by a paper towel to absorb excess alcohol. Let the alcohol evaporate and say hi to your restored cosmetics. 49. DIY BB Cream. Whether it is a concealer palette or an eyeshadow palette, there are always only a few colors that we use. Palettes are usually expensive, so our recommendation would be to buy refill eyeshadows of the colors you like and set them in an empty box to make your own palette consisting of products you will actually use. It is not only eco-friendly, but can also save you a lot of money as single colors or refills cost way less than palettes. 46. Heat Your Eyelash Curler. Revlon. (2015).

But the Snapchat gender filter is not without its positives. While perhaps its display of gender is problematic, some may find this tool a helpful and affirming way to explore gender. I believe that a free tool for affirming gender identity is a social positive. Others, however, may find it dysphoric — an unrealistic standard they may never fulfill. As with most tech, opinions are mixed in the community overall, but with 7 billion faces to digitally modify, this will not be the last of these types of filters or questions. [ 21][ 22][ 23][ 24]. Using makeup to accessorize or enhance one’s features and conceal flaws (real or perceived) is not a new concept — humankind has been using cosmetics in these ways for millennia — yet there is still a worthwhile conversation to have about how cosmetics change our reality, especially in the digital age. Makeup has always been popular, but the Internet, with its influencers, memes, and viral content, has pushed its popularity to new heights. On the Internet, you can not only learn about products, looks, and how to do them, but also explore and experience the power of makeup to make you look different. Wait just a couple of minutes after primer application. Once the primer gets absorbed into the skin and creates a smooth surface, you can proceed with the foundation.

Powder helps to absorb excess oils from your face, preventing them from ruining your makeup and making it last longer! Special effects makeup artists learn the intricate processes required to make, apply and remove special makeup effects.

Blow your hair dryer on the eyelash curler before curling your lashes. The heat will help you to get perfectly curled lashes instantly. However, make sure the dryer is on low heat mode and test the temperature on your hand to avoid getting burned. 47. Use Waterproof Products Carefully. Our Correct & Conceal Palette was created as a simple & effective two step concealer solution for beard shadow. It can be applied to brighten and colour correct areas such as the under eyes and any beard shadow. The 'Colour Corrector' part of the Palette has a peachy tone, which neutralises and brightens any areas of darkness which have a darker/blue undertone in the skin.

Conference Papers – International Communication Association. 2005 Annual Meeting, New York. From makeup artists (MUAs) and influencers, such as Jeffree Star and Nikkie de Jager, to drag queens focused on creating videos of their makeup process, these are creators staking their art (and their livelihoods) on cosmetics and performances enabled by them. These artists not only produce content about makeup but host live events for fans across the world. They have impressive followings and in many cases impressive fortunes — some of these “beauty gurus” have as many as 16 million followers and personal fortunes in the millions [ 3]. Some good examples include ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ when characters have been in a fight or battle. Special effects makeup is the term used for the team who are applying the pre-made prosthetics or smaller on-skin effects. This type of makeup can include creating the appearance of things like wounds, scars and wrinkles for ageing effects applied directly onto the skin.

The actual products used on set

Before you start any makeup look, you should ask yourself some simple questions about your skin and what the desired end look you have in mind looks like! Deciding on what type of skin you have will then help to inform some of your choices, i.e. which primer would be best suited for the look you are after. The final thing you should do before completing your look is to set the makeup in place, which will help it to last longer throughout the day. You can do this in two ways, depending on the look you are aiming for. You can either add some more powder onto your face with a large, fluffy brush and dust this over your face.
