How to Use a Video Makeup Tutorial The Easy Way
Using a makeup tutorial might seem easy. After all, all you have to do is watch someone apply their makeup and copy them—right? Not so. In fact, there is quite a bit more that you need to keep in mind.
1. Watch the tutorial beforehand. This allows you to make a note of anything that you may need or of anything that you may want to purchase before you attempt the look. It also gives you a better idea of how long it will take, how strenuous it might be, and a variety of other things. Don’t just jump into the makeup. If you do, chances are that you will end up with a mess or screwing up somewhere. That way you not only know what you need to do, but you also have the know how.
2. Use what you have. Don’t rush out to the store (unless of course you have absolutely no makeup. Then you just might want to.). Try to use whatever you have on hand. Maybe you don’t have a similar color—in that case, use something different. Maybe you don’t like the colors that are being used. Use different ones then. It doesn’t matter what you do—just make sure that you enjoyed it!
3. Take notes. Make sure that you make notes of anything that the person doing the makeup says. If they say that if you do the wrong stroke, a giant talking llama will ask for your license and suspend it, then make sure that you make a note of it. These can be mental notes or physical ones. Do whichever works the best for you.
4. Make sure you can pause. When you’re finally ready to do the look, make sure you are able to pause and rewind. This means not to use a mobile phone, unless you have the option of pausing and rewinding.
From there, have fun and good luck!
