| For a Flight Attendant getting your makeup right is not optional. It is part of over-all look and my airline if you didn't have perfect makeup you would get a warning that could eventually lead to black marks on your record. The same is true for your interview , please don't turn up with poorly applied makeup. If you're really not that good (and trust me you will be after a year or so) then what I suggest is on interview day go see a professional. My airline approved makeup regime This method works for me and over time with plenty of practice, it can take as little as 15 minutes for the whole process. Some women may require more steps while others less but I believe that my routine is simple yet effective. 1. Makeup base Most makeup bases work as a “hold” for makeup, helping makeup to stay on longer and at the same time moisturize face. Flash Balm by Clarins – This product acts as a makeup base for me. Apply evenly on the whole face and wait for a few minutes before applying foundation/powder. It also acts as a “perk me up” to make skin look more radiant. During the occasional pimple outbreak, I use the concealer by H&M. 2. Foundation Studio Fix by MAC - Studio Fix is a powder and foundation in one that combines good coverage with easy application. You can say it’s for the lazy women or those in a hurry. The texture is velvety and provides a very matte finish. Re-application or touch-up is quick as well. 3. Eye Brows Eye brow pencil by Shiseido – My brows are very sparse so this is a must. I was taught to use a shade or two lighter than my hair colour so I wouldn’t look too fierce. Drawing the brows takes skill which is developed over time with lots of practice. Nobody gets it right the first few times and probably need several attempts at it. Always be careful here as brows that are drawn too thick look really artificial. Remember to use the brow brush to remove excessive application and to soften the look. 4. Eye Shadow I have used the following over the years: - Shiseido - Kanebo - MAC - Red Earth - Bobbi Brown My favourite are Bobbi Brown and Red Earth for different reasons. Just make sure you know your skin tone; warm or cool. Mine’s warm so I tend to use colours like brown, beige and cream. The eye shadow is usually applied from the inner lid to the outer and in small, light strokes. The first step is to use a lighter colour to apply on the whole eye lid. This acts as a highlight to make the eye sockets look deeper. Then a darker colour is applied on the bottom half of the top eye lid (Use double eye lid crease as guide) Optional: Liquid or pencil eyeliner to “enlarge” eyes. Eye Contour Gel by Clarins to prevent puffiness. 5. Mascara After trying several brands, I find the most suitable and highly recommended one to be HYPNÔSE by Lancome. This mascara doesn’t clump or smudge and allows smooth application. After applying the desired amount, leave lashes to dry for 5 minutes and then use eyelash curler to enhance curls. 6. Cheeks Blushcreme by MAC – This product is creamy and glides smoothly on cheeks. It will not crack like some other brands. Once again, choosing the correct colour is important and it is essential to determine skin tone. 7. Lips There are 2 things I swear by when it comes to my lips – Lip Balm & Lip Liner. Lip Balm – This is essential for moisturizing the lips. There’s nothing uglier than chapped lips. EEEEWWW! I recommend anything from Blistex especially the Herbal Answer and Spa Effects. H&M Lip Liner – This is a great product and best part is; it’s cheap! It’s definitely US$5 well spent! The liner glides on the lips effortlessly and stays on for hours! The liner is important firstly to define the lip contours and secondly to ensure that the lips look good even when the lipstick slowly disappears. Lipstick – Good choices are Slimshine by MAC, Sheer Envy by Red Earth, All- Day Lipstick by Estee Lauder & Super Lustrous Shiny Sheers by Revlon. Actually, lipsticks preferences are very subjective, plus there are so many products in the market. At the end of the day, just choose one that fits your budget and more importantly one that contains moisturizing ingredients. When choosing colours, the same skin tone criteria apply. Summary Makeup is important in a Flight Attendant’s life. Knowing the correct techniques will help ensure the makeup is not excessively applied. When applied correctly it can help to enhance the features on your face, boosting your confidence and making you stand out in a crowd.
