Masking tape for make-up artistes!

Le masking tape!

Take whatever size strips you need.....



MU-ettes in action with le tape!



Keeping their lines super straight and defined!
Today Mulain was in Catwalk class at the academy and was watching MU Virginia demo-ing different tips and tricks for creating designs and shapes and lines.....Mulain just loves the simplicity of masking tape to help us artistes out there on our different jobs. Whether you are creating a crazy 60s eyeline in a rocking, shaking make-up van....or while a hairstylist is blowdrying hair and pulling the head at all angles while you still have to work or creating any required super-straight lines....this tape will help you create the look you want and with speed. Just simply cut off the size you need and stick (lightly) onto the skin....go easy on application and easy on removing!!! You are not waxing your model / performer!....Lightly attach, it'll be easy to remove, once stuck on ...paint away...get your design on and then take away leaving fantastic lines and shapes!
Tomorrow is practical assessment for theatrical characters....can't wait to see how the MU-ettes perform! Come on batch 3 you can do it....

Perfect your eyelines!

Perfect your eyelines!
Not getting right effect...change your brush!

Sephora little eye kits...how cute na?


Hey girls and boys....hope all cool with you and your worlds. All good in MU-town.....pro class in week two...working hard and getting to know 'bases' and 'faces'....1 week intro to make-up work shop on too....and our MU-ettes are off shooting in Rajasthan with the lovely Dev Patel and Maggie Smith, Judi Dench...how cool is that? Busy little bees....
Mulain has been out and about recently and loving seeing what people are wearing make-up wise...have spotted quite a few ladies having a go with the trend of retro eyelines....some getting it right, some not at all!! Remember if you are just starting out....start with an aqua liner...that way if you make a mistake, a quick dab with a cotton bud and water, remove your 'error', 'smudge' and start again! Start small with a slight flick and out ...when you get fast and confident with this...then move onto your Sharila T 60s stuff! Easy-squeezy....also if you are using a brush that's too thin you will not get that lovely thick retro line.....try your lip brush...see the difference. Once your eyelines are on with the aqua, you can always intensify the line with MAC's Blacktrack or Lakme's liquid liner for that extra staying power.
Get lining my friends...it's a lot of fun!
