Makeup Artist:Interview With Linda Mason

Interview With Linda Mason
How does makeup help define a woman’s personality?We search to find clothing, hair and makeup which show us off to our advantage. A woman who wears makeup is a woman who cares about others. How she chooses to wear it, is how she would like to be perceived. We have different sides to our personality and certain knowledge of makeup can allow us to express these different sides so we may change our makeup depending on how we feel. With my Astrological makeup Melodies, I have put kits together so that if a woman would like to express different sides to her personality she can do this by changing a kit. She still has a certain amount of free expression within the kit as she has nine colors to mix, but they are mistake proof so they allow her to experiment with a minimum of risk.
How do you define true beauty?True beauty is a spark, a warmth and generosity of Spirit.
What is a quick way to change a day look to a special occasion or nighttime face?Make your makeup more dramatic and add contrast by either  darkening your eyes and lightening your lips or just strengthening your lip color.You are known for your use of color, what advice can you offer women on how to best choose the right colors for their face?They have to choose the colors that they are drawn most towards. Experiment with a mixture of things, the skin, and the personality. What I do think women should not say is that if it is bright, it is unnatural. Some of the bright colors can be very simple and soft and almost more natural than the very strong natural colored makeup. If they see a new color or different color they like, just put it next to the lashes. And then you can see if you will look good in it.

With lipstick color you shouldn’t be afraid of experimenting, but also keep in mind you might have to alter a color slightly. So, when you are choosing your lipstick, it is almost better to choose it without any eye makeup on. Then instantly you will know if it makes your face look better and a good color for you. Very often women choose a lipstick because they feel they need to have a lipstick; but it doesn’t really do much to enhance them. I think you need try a lipstick on, or at least hold it up to your face. Keep in mind the type of lipstick too, as a rule the matte lipsticks tend to look classier with a deeper color. If you want to look more feminine, or flirtatious, then use a tinted gloss. If you find a color you have put on is a bit much and you are a little frightened by it, and then add a little lip gloss to make it more wearable.
Even when I am selecting colors for women I can be surprised, as a lot of women suit a lot of colors. There is not just one color out there, what happens with the color is it creates different kinds of feelings and I like to match personality to makeup.
