With the inauguration of spring, we’re turning to the red carpet for spring beauty trends that we’ll be teaching at our makeup school in Los Angeles! These celebrities wowed the crowd during their red carpet appearances in 2018 and we can’t wait to recreate them during rotations as part of our Professional Makeup Course. Every month at our makeup school in LA, we tell each new student enrolled to turn to their favorite makeup artists and celebrities for inspiration. The following beauty looks are examples of how our students can test their skills as well as show off their creativity!

Smokey Liner

If smokey eyes and cat eyes had a baby, this look would be it! Renowned celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta kept the edges of Bella Hadid's wings sharp as a blade but buffed out the top part to smoke it up towards her temples. If you thought the smokey eye was edgy-- you need to try this look out! Remember to always pair an intense eye look with a blindingly bright highlighter, peachy nude blush, and lipstick. Keep everything neutral so that all the attention is focused on the eyes. You’re ready to slay for the night out!

2018 has been the year for makeup! Along with the Top Foundations For a Professional Makeup School, we’ve asked Chic Studios director, Amy Nicole for her list of top 6 hottest eyeshadow palettes for a makeup school in New York City. The following are amazing palettes from great brands which are handy not only for a pro kit but a personal makeup kit as well. Amy’s choices are completely versatile and able to work on various skin tones and skin types!

Even though we have a set kit for each student enrolled, our makeup school in NYC is not limited to just that. Our classroom is a huge hub of brands, big and small, and open for all students to come in and play with during rotations. In our Professional Makeup Course, we want to make sure our students are exposed to as many brands as possible before they’re pushed into the pro beauty industry. It’s great for them to see how different brands work on various skin tones and skin types.
