Guest Artists at Make Up First

Looking to improve your skills under the guidance of the industry’s top working professionals? Make Up First has you covered with guest artist workshops all throughout 2020!

Color Theory in Flesh Tone with Terri Tomlinson
March 2nd, 2020

Color Theory in Flesh Tone is a hands-on workshop that translates color theory into the language of makeup. One of the greatest tools a makeup artist has is color theory. Being able to actively work and use the principles of color theory during application makes every artist stronger and more efficient.

In this workshop we revisit the basics of Color Theory and the principles of color used in makeup application. Learn to translate color into flesh tone and neutral using The Flesh Tone Color Wheel™ and determine skin tone, highlight, contour and correction. See how using color theory affects every color choice from foundation, to eyeshadow and lip. In the hands-on portion we build skill and train the eye using The Flesh Tone Color Wheel™ and a color theory makeup palette to create, mix and adjust foundations, highlight, bronzer, contour, and corrective colors followed by eye, cheek and lip.
