In recent years, the profession of makeup artist has become so relevant that many girls equip “beauty rooms” even at home. This is due to the fact that the demand for this kind of service 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 workplace of the makeup artist, learn about the design of the home cabinet and the necessary furniture.
How to create an office?
To equip the workplace, many novice craftsmen are in no hurry to rent a separate office, preferring the house. Indeed, without prejudice to square meters, such a “home salon” will not take up much space, because it requires a minimum of furniture.
The design of the cabinet at home is preferable to choose of modern styles. High 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 laid out on the shelves, tools should be ordered, nothing should distract the master and the client. The mess in the house is unacceptable.
It is best to use muted shades, nude and the whole palette of pink for decoration, which girls love so much.
Relevant for the designer's place 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 is worthwhile to understand that the design will largely determine how comfortable the clients will be in it and whether they will return again.Many experts are sure that acid and dark colors in the interior of even the smallest make-up artist’s cabinet repel.
Much attention should also be paid to a quality mirror, it is desirable that it be large and the client can observe the process. Although many make-up artists paint clients so that they do not see themselves during the process, this distracts many. 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 that always attract attention in the workplace area.
What furniture is needed?
To equip the workplace of a make-up artist at home, a minimal amount of furniture is necessary, 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;
- chair for client and chair for makeup artist, preferably high;
- table or stand 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;
- bag or large suitcase for storage and transportation of cosmetics.
Depending on the area of the room, you can also arrange a small sofa and a coffee table, organizing a waiting area. In addition, it will be useful to have a TV.
Rules for choosing a mirror
Recently, makeup artists are increasingly choosing mirrors in the style of dressing rooms with backlight. Such models are very fond of not only the masters, but also the customers themselves, because they create some kind of amazing atmosphere. Mirrors with bulbs located around the perimeter are considered to be winning, only they give the most high-quality and clear reflection.
Many professional makeup artists agree that it is best to purchase a mirror with backlight, because in it you can evaluate all the possible inaccuracies and irregularities of the makeup.
Today, makeup artists can purchase a mirror:
- with internal illumination;
- with external illumination;
- with decorative.
Which type is best for a particular room, only the master decides. When choosing an additional desktop mirror, it is best to give preference to rotating models with two-way reflection.
When placing a mirror 120 cm on the wall, it is desirable that the client sees himself to his knees, and 60 cm - waist-high. At the same time, 50 to 50 mirrors are considered the most popular, which are chosen by professional makeup artists in many beauty salons. The most durable are mirror models with LED lighting - they are many times better than samples with conventional incandescent lamps.
Lighting
Light for the makeup artist is everything. No matter how harmoniously the interior of the home office is created, no matter how beautifully the brushes and lipsticks are laid out, it will not be possible to achieve a high-quality make-up without the right light. It is very important that the office has:
- main lighting - light from the chandelier on the ceiling;
- modeling light - sent to the face of the client or model at an angle of forty-five degrees;
- drawing light - created against shadows.
When setting the right light, you can be sure of the success of future makeup, light should be exposed not only from above, but also from all sides. With proper lighting, it’s not only convenient to work with - you can also create great photographs with it, which will certainly come in handy for the wizard’s portfolio.
As the lighting, you can choose neon, it is very similar to 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.
Ring lamp as an additional light source will be useful to all masters, without exception, therefore do not save on its acquisition.
