2. Explain how natural ageing, lifestyle and environmental factors affect

the condition of the skin.
Natural aging affects the condition of the skin by causing the skin to
appear thinner, more fragile because you will lose some of the protective
fat layer. The skin will be more prone of taking in germs that will lead you
at a higher risk of having skin infections and conditions such as
psoriasis/eczema. Lifestyle such as having a busy work life like a
builder/hairdresser affects the condition of the skin to wear and tear
quicker. Always having your hands in water or wet mixer will lead to skin
infections, conditions such as dermatitis. Having a different lifestyle
through diet will make a difference. Lack of protein, certain oils will reduce
production of proteins such as collagen and elastin, leading to skin
damage. Having only a high fat, sugar diet can result in blemishes and
serve acne. Having a balanced diet will make the skin healthy, smooth full
of life, few to little blemishes. Applying certain products through your
lifestyle such as being a model for makeup can affect the skin since you
can have allergic reactions to products. Environment can affect the
condition of the skin such as cold/wet damp weather can make the skin
dry, tighten, crack, break out easily. Dust in the air can clog up your pores,
leading to more bacteria on the face. Day to day city’s having pollution in
the air, it is most likely chemical. This leads to the skin natural protection
system being interrupted therefore breaking the skin natural oils that
would normally maintain the moisture within the skin. Being exposed to
the UV-ray of the sun too much can damage skin cells, leading to liver
spots and uneven complexion, less elasticity, premature aging.

4. Explain the importance of carrying out a detailed skin analysis before a
make-up application.
The importance of carrying out a detailed skin analysis before a make-up

application is to ensure that you will get the best flawless results possible
for the client and their skin. You will need the correct
tools/equipment/products for the client’s skin type. In order to achieve that
you will need to carry out a detailed skin analysis. It is important to know
what skin type the client is to prepare, adapt, apply makeup best suited for
them. If you do not carry out a detailed skin analysis, you will likely miss out
key details therefore getting the client’s skin type wrong. That will lead to
the make up not applying smoothly as it should be. For example, client has
dry skin. You apply products for oily skin thinking that it is their skin type,
products will sit on the skin dry, appearing even more defined, dry patches
and cracks through out the skin. Visa versa If the client had oily skin
however you apply products for dry skin. Therefore, the make up will slip,
sliding even more on the skin instead of staying put. Melting off before
finishing the service. Patches will be on the face where oil defines pores
more open mixing with the oily foundation. The results will look horrible,
definitely not in the range of how the client expects. Carrying out a skin
analysis will give you important information to carry out the service
correctly, professionally, pleasantly, giving flawless results. The client will be
happy with a smile, which will lead business with good reviews and more
clients boosting it up.
6. Explain how to use corrective methods to suit needs, skin types and conditions
(Highlighting, Shading, Colour Correction, Face Shape ect)
What is contouring? What is highlighting? Contour is a technique used to enhance the face structure
through make up application of contour tones and highlighting. Changes the appearances by making
an illusion that the facial bone structure such as the jaw, cheek, nose and forehead is shaped
differently to enhance the features. Highlight the areas to contrast the shadows within the contour
to make the shape on the facial features how you want it to look. This will give definition and define
the shape of the bone structure on the client’s face.
How to apply Contour and highlighting correctly according to face shape?

This diagram will help to analyse in what parts of the face you need to contour/highlight according to
face shape. All having different aspects of facial features on the face that we want to enhance, define
or look smaller. Some examples are below.
Oblong – Contour the forehead, sides of the cheek bones and middle of the chin to make the face
appear shorter in length, cheek bones and forehead slimmer in width. Highlight the under eyes to
give defines contrast to focus on the middle to have a fuller face.
Rectangle – contour the full forehead, upper part of the cheek bone near the ears and the sides of
the jaw line but do not go all the way in the middle. Leave a gap. Forehead will look smaller in width,
cheek and jaw structure will be slimmer and sharper. Highlight the under eyes to give a fuller
complexion and middle of chin to brighten the feature out more to appear prominent.
Round – Contour the outer edge of both sides of the forehead, bringing down that contour all the
way through the cheek bone structure. Starting from the upper ears and curving around the middle
of the cheeks and jaw line. Following that curve of contour from the forehead to the cheek bones will
enhance the appearance to make it more defined and slimmer. Jaw line will be seen as not as
rounded as it appears before. Highlight the middle of the forehead, just within the T zone, under the
under eyes and middle of the chin. This will highlight complexion where it is most desired to have
that fullness.
Suiting contour and highlighting for different skin type’s/conditions will vary as face shapes. Knowing
how to adapt techniques for everyone’s needs is really beneficial and important. Such as using cream
and liquid contour/highlighter will be best suited for dry skin/dehydrated skin/milia as they have the
most moisture to give and take blending the product in the skin easier rather than a powder product
will. Oily skin/papule will be the opposite, by applying powder product of contour/highlighter will
make an impact by the powder absorbing the excess moisture/oil of the skin. Giving that look and
long wear more lasting. Combination skin/open pores will use most likely use both cream and
powder to give not only a balanced of the skin but to build up the product and make it
bolder/defined on the skin. Only using powder or cream might make the face look dull and flat,
therefore using both will make all the more definition.
What is colour corrector? Normally a cream-based product that goes before the
foundation/concealer base. It neutralises/cancels out unwanted, skin tones, using Colour Theory.
Normally apply the opposite colour on the wheel to the colour you want to get rid of. For example,
green cancels out red.
Using the colours green, different shades of green such as light and dark depending how serve the
condition will be cancels out any redness, rosacea, erythema of the skin. Leaving the client feeling
confident of how their skin looks now. Another example will be using colour corrector to cancel out
tones of brown/dark liver spots by applying yellow/orange to brighten up the hues. Lilac can also
help cancel out dullness within the skin, making it appear brightening.
