Powder foundation, good or bad?
Powder foundation is good; it's nice on top of a sheer tinted moisturizer for extra coverage if needed, or to warm up the skin tone. It can provide extra SPF protection too.
Do what comes instinctively! Blend well and use colors that work for you. Maintain a good eyebrow and take care of your skin!!
In Conversation with Tina Turnbow...
What inspired you to become a makeup artist?
Playing around with it as a kid and seeing what a great way it was to be creative by using the face as a canvas. It helped me feel more confident. I used to watch my mom apply her makeup and I saw her as a great beauty, so that was also an inspiration.
What advice would you give someone looking to become a professional makeup artist?
Assist, assist, assist....best way to learn. And mistakes can be a good thing!
What is the biggest mistake you see people making with cosmetics?
Not matching your tinted moisturizer or foundation to your neck - or not blending!
