Make-up Tips for Female Cabin Crew

"A woman without make-up is like food without salt" says Roman dramatist Plautus. Make-up helps to highlight the features that we have and enhances beauty. For female cabin crew, make-up should be simple yet look sophisticated. We can start with the basics: Foundation, Mascara, Blush, Lipstick. In order to look perfectly groomed for a flight, female cabin crew can follow these few simple steps to applying make-up.

• Foundation- It gives the skin a smooth and even look. It should look natural after applying it. When picking the right shade, try to apply it on the side of your cheek (above the jaw bone). The color should be nearest to the natural skin color of your face. It comes in liquid form or powder foundation form. To apply, dot a small amount all over your face and blend it using your fingertips or a wet sponge (for liquid foundation).
  
• Mascara and/or Eyeshadow- Most of the time it's not required to apply eyeshadow (the most basic is mascara and eyeliner) but to have a more sophisticated look to your eyes and if your grooming department will permit it, start by apply light eye shadow to your entire eyelid (from lashline to brow bone) then define the crease of the eyelid by applying a darker shade. Choose eye shadows in basic colors like earth tones rather than fancier more colorful shades. To open up your eyes more, apply a thin layer of eyeliner (you can use liquid or the pencil type and you can choose between black or brown) as close to the lashes as possible. Before applying mascara, curl your lashes with an eye lash curler by curling gently near the base of your lashes. Apply a thin coat of mascara to the upper and lower lashes.
• Blush- to have a natural-looking glow or "flush" to your face, choose a blush shade that will blend nicely with your foundation. Tap on any excess powder on the blush applicator then apply the blush on the apple of your cheek blending towards your hairline.
  
• Lipstick- before applying your lipstick, be sure to have your lips moisturized and buffed. You can use a damp cloth to gently rub on your lips for a minute and apply a lip balm or conditioner. You can also use a lip liner before applying lipstick to accent or emphasize the shape of your lips, just make sure that it matches your lipstick. Apply the lipstick starting at the center of the lips working towards the corners.

Other make-up like bronzers, lip gloss, etc. will be optional and could also depend on the grooming guidelines your airline company could have. Make-up shades and colors could also depend on the company's grooming department requirements.
