| Getting your makeup right is not optional. It is part of your over-all look and some airlines are very strict with that. If you don'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. You don't have to apply a thick layer or use too much colour. Just define your features adequately will suffice. If you're really not that good (and trust me you will be after a year or so of practice) then what I suggest is on interview day go see a professional. Otherwise, just follow the simple tips below. You don't have to burn a hole in your pocket initially by buying expensive products. There are many cheaper options that will do the same job. When you start your career as a Flight Attendant and bring in your well-deserved paychecks then by all means pamper yourself and splurge on some luxury cosmetics. Above are products I use and find them most helpful in my "transformation". Clockwise from top: MAC Select Sheer pressed powder-NC35 ($30), LANCOME Virtuose mascara ($35), REVLON Super Lustrous lipstick-Ginger Rose ($8.95), REVLON ColorStay lipliner/crayon-Rose ($9.95), RED EARTH anti-blemish concealer ($6.50), RIMMEL LONDON eyebrow pencil-001 Dark Brown ($6.90), CUTEX Quick 'n Go nail polish ($4.75), BOBBI BROWN eye palette-Nude On Nude ($49), BLISTEX Ultra lip balm SPF30+ ($3.90) My simple step-by-step 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 This is optional and certainly not necessary if you're pressed for time. Pressed for time??? You may ask. Don't laugh even! You'll understand too well what I mean when you get the job! Most makeup bases work as a “hold” for makeup, helping makeup to stay on longer and at the same time moisturize the face. However, many facial moisturizers will do almost the same thing. 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 Anti-blemish Concealer by Red Earth. 2. Foundation Cosmetics companies are constantly improving their products and these days you can purchase liquid foundation which are not heavy or sticky and you don't have to worry about not applying evenly as they simply glide on the skin. Some can also feel "barely there". However, if you're not a fan of liquid foundation, there are many other options on the shelves these days. Should I choose to use foundation, my personal favourite is 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. If I want to use something lighter, I'd go for MAC Select Sheer pressed powder which feels "barely there". This is most ideal for those with flawless skin. 3. Eye Brows Eye brow pencil by RIMMEL LONDON – 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 won’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 experimented with the following over the years: SHISEIDO- If you are fair-skinned, you are one of the lucky ladies as you'll likely be cool tone. Women with cool tones can use just about any colour they want. The vibrant and bold blue and purple shades look great on fair skins! MAC- These little individual babies are great if you are specific about which colours to use. They are also easy to carry around in your cosmetics bag during the times when you just need a colour or two. However, the bad news is they aren't cheap! 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 6. Cheeks RED EARTH Cheeky Flirt Soft Velvet– 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. REVLON ColorStay Lip Liner – This is a great product and best part is; it’s quite cheap! 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. Also, you don't need a pencil sharpener for this; just twist! 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......which is definitely what you want at a Cabin Crew interview!
