What is Editorial – Look 1

The term “Editorial” refers to everything related to print by definition. Simply defined, editorial makeup is makeup that appears in paper. Editorial makeup is commonly seen in fashion photography, CD covers, publications, beauty articles, billboards, and other forms of entertainment. Editorial photographers are usually hired by a magazine or newspaper to take photos for use on the cover or inside issues. They work with models who may have already been made up by an artist or photographer’s assistant, but always play an important role in shaping the final image.

There are two types of editorial makeup: physical and artistic. Physical makeup includes facial prosthetics such as masks and wigs. Artists often create original pieces of art for their magazines or newspapers featuring celebrities with no hair or only part of it. These are known as artistic makeups. Facial artists sometimes help artists with creative ideas for portraits they want to draw or photograph. They use their knowledge of human anatomy to help bring out the best in their clients’ faces.

Physical makeup can be very difficult to do well. Masks should fit properly and not cause irritation. Wigs should feel like your own hair and shouldn’t look fake. All makeup needs to be removed before entering a photo studio or before going back into public life after being photographed.

Artistic makeup is even more challenging because you need to capture the artist’s vision.

What is editorial style photography?

Images that appear with text in magazines to help convey a narrative or educate readers are referred to as editorial photography. Fashion photography is a sort of editorial photography in which images may communicate a story without the need of language. Fashion editorials in magazines, for example, may be multi-page spreads that convey a topic without words. These photographs can be considered art because they require skill to take them well.

Fashion photographers must have an eye for detail and be able to compose attractive pictures quickly because there will be many opportunities to shoot from different angles. They also need to understand how light affects subjects because some scenes may not be possible in low light conditions. Finally, fashion photographers should have knowledge of current trends so they can tell us what’s hot and what’s not without writing any words at all!

There are several types of fashion photography. There is ready-to-wear photography, which is photography of actual clothes available for purchase. There is styling photography, which is the creation of looks using only existing clothing. And then there is concept photography, which requires the photographer to think outside the box when it comes to styling subjects. All three types of photography are used in fashion journalism. While ready-to-wear and styling photos may appear in magazine articles or blog posts, only concept photography would never actually appear on someone else’s body.

What is editorial fashion?

This new definition of editorial implies “visually stunning, especially in a way that invokes high fashion.” Fashion insiders use the phrase “extremely editorial” to describe garments that appear gorgeous in magazine fashion shots but that no one in their right mind would wear. These are often luxury brand items that have been altered slightly or completely redesigned for the photo shoot.

So basically, editorial fashion is clothing designed to be photographed not worn. This includes luxury brands like Chanel, Dior and Gucci as well as more affordable labels such as Topshop, H&M and Urban Outfitters.

Images can greatly influence the public’s perception of a brand so it is important that they present an accurate representation of what women will actually be wearing. As we know, celebrities are often accused of altering their photos for publicity purposes so they must be able to prove otherwise.

In addition to looking good, editorial fashion should also fit properly. Since photogenic clothes tend to be very thin, it’s important that they don’t show any signs of being tight against the body. Also, since there usually isn’t much fabric to speak of, it’s essential that there aren’t any holes or stains where dirt could get inside the garment.

Finally, women need to realize that although editorial fashion looks great on the models, it may not translate so well onto your body type.

What is editorial content?

Editorial content is defined as anything published in print or on the Internet that is intended to teach, educate, or entertain while not attempting to sell something. This includes articles written for magazines, newspapers, and websites. It also includes podcasts, video clips, and even social media posts.

The term is used by journalists and others to distinguish their work from that of reporters, who are responsible for most news stories but who may be paid to write specifically about people or events without offering any opinion or judgment. The word “editor” comes from the French editor, meaning teacher.

Thus, editorial content should be thought of as information provided by individuals or organizations that have not been verified by a professional journalist and instead represent the views of those publishers.

In other words, editorial content is content that is not objective. News stories and other forms of journalism tend to be more objective because they report facts that have been confirmed through research. Opinions and judgments are generally held by individuals who express them in their writing or speaking and so cannot be confirmed by researchers. Editorial writers’ opinions and judgments can be confirmed through reader feedback (i.e., comments posted on web sites), but these cannot be considered independent sources of information since they do not involve any effort by the writer to find out whether what they say is true.

Which is the best definition of editorial content?

Editorial material is defined as any content that is intended to enlighten, educate, or entertain. It informs readers about a topic or explains something to them. At its essence, editorial material is about giving the reader something of value. It’s not meant to be sold. It may include articles written for magazines or newspapers, but also includes essays, research papers, and reviews. Editorial material can be found in almost every category of publication, including magazines, journals, newspapers, and blogs.

The term “editorial” was originally used by printers to describe writing that they wanted to have printed on the front page of a newspaper. This way, they would attract more customers by offering news that people might find interesting. Today, “editorial” is used to describe any content that expresses an opinion about something. An article written by someone with an opinion is called “opinionated” journalism. Of course, facts are important in journalism, but opinions can also be expressed through the use of anecdote, case study, and expert analysis.

In general, academic writers avoid using the word “editorial” when describing their work because it implies an endorsement from the publication which most often leads to copyright issues. Instead, they will say that their work is intended to inform, enlighten, or entertain.

There is no single right answer to this question. Each publication defines its own concept of editorial content differently.

Vogue Editor Alexandra Shulman Steps Down

Shulman began her career in journalism at Over-21 magazine, before joining Tatler in 1982 and working her way up to features editor over the next five years. In 1987, she joined the Sunday Telegraph as editor of the women’s pages and then moved to deputy edit their current-affairs/photo reportage based tabloid. She arrived at Vogue as features editor in 1988, before joining GQ as editor in February 1990. She took the helm at Vogue in 1992 and since then has steered the magazine through a period of great change. Her long-term colleague, managing editor Frances Bentley, announced today that she too will stand down this summer.

“Alex has been the longest serving and most successful editor of Vogue in its 100-year history,” Nicholas Coleridge, managing director of Condé Nast Britain, said today. “She has edited the title for a quarter of its existence, through its period of highest-ever circulation, and its simultaneous transformation into a global digital brand. She has been the towering figure of the British fashion press throughout her tenure: a superb journalist and editor, who understands and exemplifies every quality. Imaginative, hard-working, perceptive and a brilliant leader, Alex is also a valued friend to so many of us. It is impossible to sufficiently express the contribution she has made to Vogue, to Condé Nast and to the British fashion industry.”

An announcement regarding a successor will be made in due course.

What is Fashion

Fashion makeup is a unique field within the larger career of makeup artistry. Makeup for fashion settings is usually designed to be high impact, and is meant to show the model and the design being modeled to the best effect.

What is a Makeup Artist and What Role Do They Play in Fashion?

A makeup artist (MUA) is someone who uses cosmetic techniques and processes to enhance beauty or create a certain appearance. It doesn’t always need to be beauty. It can also be dramatic makeup or scary makeup, as in the field of theatrical makeup. 

In the world of fashion, makeup artists offer their skills for runway shows, photoshoots, magazines, and video promotions. They are known as fashion makeup artists.

What is a Fashion Makeup Artist?

Fashion makeup is a segment within the larger career of makeup artistry. Makeup for fashion settings is typically designed to be high impact and display the model to the best effect. It can also be highly experimental, with runway and magazine looks varying from plain makeup to bold makeup to elaborate prosthetics.

Fashion makeup artists need to be skilled in creating looks that will function well on the runway while holding under the lights and heat. In magazines, MUAs create more subtle effects because the viewer is not distanced from the subject.

On a typical shoot or event, a fashion makeup artist is part of a crew of personnel who prepare models for the event. The makeup artist works with the designer to distinguish the specific look and feel that is wanted when the model is fully dressed. At major fashion shows, a makeup artist’s work is key in determining which models will stand out from the crowd. 

Life as a fashion MUA can be demanding. In addition to working long hours, travel is often required to reach location shoots and fashion events. Plus, the makeup artist is usually required to work very quickly on the job. For example, one model might walk for multiple designers and require a speedy makeup change between walks. Makeup artists also need to be prepared for variables such as heat on location which could affect the makeup. 

People who work as fashion makeup artists can train in a variety of ways, ranging from apprenticing with an established makeup artist to attending makeup school to self-learning the tricks of the trade. Pay in this field is relatively low, unless you have an established reputation.

Responsibilities of a Fashion Makeup Artist

Whether you work alone or as part of a makeup design team, here are the typical responsibilities of a makeup artist working in the fashion industry.

  • Consulting with clients to create custom looks based on their specifications.
  • Producing requested makeup looks.
  • Removing makeup after usage on catwalks and photoshoot sets.
  • Sketching ideas for makeup.
  • Ensuring continuity in makeup and liaising with other members of the team to ensure the end look is consistent and coherent.
  • Working with actors and models on sets.
  • Considering lighting and setting when applying makeup.
  • Determining which colors, materials, and processes should be used.
  • Designing prosthetics according to special effects requirements.
  • Maintaining aware of health and safety issues.
  • Staying up to date with makeup and beauty products.
  • Sourcing, budgeting, and ordering materials from suppliers.
  • Working quickly and precisely under pressure.
  • Consulting clients on their skincare regimens.

Skills of a Fashion Makeup Artist

If you are interested in becoming a professional makeup artist in the fashion industry, here are some skills you’ll need to show:

  • Understanding of lighting and prosthetics
  • Excellent makeup and technical skills
  • A passion for makeup and fashion
  • Good communication skills
  • Attention to detail

Most people entering this field should have an in-depth understand of makeup as a whole, as well as camera and lightening processes, as this can all affect the end result of a makeup look.

Fashion Makeup Artist Salary

A head makeup artist can earn £170 to £320 for a full day of editorial work. Of course, this depends on the type of work and location. A junior fashion makeup artist can earn as less as £45 for a 10-hour work day on set. Makeup artists for fashion shows can earn anywhere between £275 to £450 a day for high-profile events like London Fashion Week.

Many makeup artists initially work for a small fee (or sometimes even for free!) on low-budget editorial shoots simply to build an impressive portfolio and gain experience. 

As a makeup artist, you can decide whether you want to freelance or work for a company as part of a team.

How to Become a Fashion Makeup Artist

Are you interested in becoming a fashion makeup artist? Fortunately, it’s not too complicated. Here are a few tips for pursuing this job role.

  • Learn the Tricks of the Trade

Understanding how to apply makeup on different skin types and colors is crucial if you want to become a professional makeup artist. You’ll also need to know what tools and products to use to ensure flawless makeup on camera.

The best way to learn all of this is by heading to college or makeup school. While you don’t need a degree to become a makeup artist, it’s definitely worth getting some kind of qualification just to show you’re capable.

Several colleges and universities offer a range of two-year foundation degrees in areas including:

  • Fashion hair and makeup
  • Hair, makeup, and prosthetics for performance
  • Media makeup and special effects

NVQs are also available in subjects such as beauty therapy and media and theatrical makeup.

  • Gain Experience

Competition is tough and makeup artists are usually employed on reputation. That’s why it’s important to gain some experience in the field. From working backstage at amateur productions to working in a beauty studio, a good starting place is anywhere you can show off your makeup skills!

You could try offering your services for free or a small fee just to gain connections and display your skills. These can also be featured in your portfolio for future reference. 

  • Create a Website/Online Portfolio

Your website and portfolio can help you get extra work in order to gain experience in the field. Ask your friends and relatives if you can do their makeup and feature them in your online portfolio. You could also try hiring models if your loved ones aren’t cooperative. The goal is to show what you can do, and why someone should hire you for a fashion show or shoot.

What is a Makeup Artist and What Role Do They Play in Fashion

Fashion makeup artists have a creative, dynamic, and challenging role. While it can be a low-paying position, those with a passion for makeup and fashion can blend their two passions into one fulfilling career.

Jean Paul Gaulter – French fashion designer

Jean Paul Gaultier, (born April 24, 1952, Arcueil, France), French fashion designer whose iconoclastic collections in the late 20th and early 21st centuries celebrated androgyny, blended street styles with haute couture, and juxtaposed other seemingly contradictory cultural symbols. Throughout his career he strove not only to redefine social categories but to draw attention to the role that fashion played in both distinguishing and obfuscating them.

As a child growing up in a suburb of Paris, Gaultier showed an affinity for fashion. Inspired by the clothing designs he saw on television and in fashion magazines such as Elle, he began to make his own drawings and quickly emerged as a prodigy. By the time he was 13 years old, he had created a collection of clothing for his mother and grandmother, and by age 18 he had started an apprenticeship in the fashion house of Parisian designer Pierre Cardin. Following a one-year stint with Cardin, Gaultier apprenticed successively with several other noted designers before he established his own label and debuted his first collection of women’s fashion in 1976.

Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier

Gaultier began his ascent within the fashion world when he set up his own shop in 1982. He created a men’s collection in 1984, and two years later he opened his first boutique in Paris. In 1990 he published his largely pictorial autobiography, À nous deux la mode (“Fashion, Here We Come”), and in 1993 he expanded his product line to include perfumes—marketed in distinctive corset-shaped bottles—and accessories. It was the 1997 showing of his first haute couture collection, however, that secured his place in the fashion industry. With support from the Hermès fashion house in Paris, he subsequently opened boutiques in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and in 2003 he became Hermès’s official designer, a position he held until 2011.

Gaultier was particularly noted for his consistency of style. Initially he favoured dark colours, especially red, brown, navy blue, deep purple, and black; later he lightened his palette through the addition of salmon, bronze, beige, and turquoise. Typical components of his collections included broad-shouldered jackets, textured or patterned stockings, trench coats of all sorts, baggy pants, flowing skirts, and the horizontally striped sailor’s shirts that became the signature of his style. Gaultier received most of his thematic inspiration from astrology, religious symbols, Celtic designs, calligraphy, tattoos, and regional apparel from around the world.

Through the exaggeration and provocative pairing of various elements of style, Gaultier aimed to destabilize established social categories and conventions. His women’s collections, for instance, often incorporated masculine jackets, hats, and leather, and his menswear frequently featured such feminine elements as skirts, corsets, and gossamery fabric. Gaultier’s designs also tended to amplify sexuality, often by blurring the boundary between underwear and outerwear. Perhaps the most widely recognized of his hypersexual works are the conical bras that he created for American pop singer Madonna’s 1990 Blond Ambition tour. In 1993 Gaultier presented one of his most controversial culture-blending and gender-bending collections, “Chic Rabbis,” based on Hasidic religious attire. Critics disapproved of the treatment of the ritual clothing as costumes on a catwalk and, more significantly, were offended by the presentation of women in rabbinic clothing. (In general, female rabbis are not accepted in Hasidic practice.) In his men’s collections, Gaultier evoked the world traveler—and border crosser—most conspicuously through the pairing of Sikh-style turbans variously with tuxedos, T-shirts, slacks, shorts, and skirts. In acknowledgement of his role in reshaping popular perceptions of sexuality through fashion and in redirecting the creative process, Gaultier received the title of Chevalier de la Lègion d’Honneur (“Knight of the Legion of Honour”), one of France’s highest honours, in 2001.

https://c8dee67aea51a7ada8171f9356255060.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html

Gaultier teamed with Madonna again in 2006 to design the wardrobe for her Confessions tour, and in 2008 he similarly created costumes for Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue. In early 2012 he developed a collection based on the distinctive style of British pop singer Amy Winehouse—less than a year after her sudden death—that tested the boundary between homage and bad taste. Aside from his work with pop stars, Gaultier designed costumes for a number of films, including The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989), The Fifth Element (1997), and Bad Education (2004). In 2011 he launched his first international exhibition, “The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk,” in Montreal. The exhibition, which made its final North American stop in San Francisco the following year, was a 35-year retrospective featuring more than 100 of his works, many strikingly modeled by mannequins with “real” faces created through video projection. In January 2020 Gaultier announced that his couture show later that month would be his last, though he would continue to design clothing.

Fashion – Look 2

Bridal/WeddingLook 3

Bridal makeup should reflect your personality (your wedding is a milestone, not a frequent life occurrence), complement your outfit (obviously), and most importantly, stay put through the entire ceremony and the photographs.

Your bridal makeup needs to be long-lasting on a whole other level

While your lightweight foundation might do the trick for a night out or a dinner party, your wedding makeup needs to stand the test of time against a lot of other factors. We’re talking humidity, in case you have a beach wedding or are exposed to heat from the havan at a Hindu wedding; photographs both pre- and post-event with location changes; and the need to look freshly done up at all times—all eyes really are on the bride on her wedding day. “Traditional weddings need makeup to be in place for hours without any touch ups in between. Your base has to withstand heat, humidity and various ceremonial activities without an artist’s supervision,” explains Bhat.

This is why bridal makeup is different from makeup for other events | VOGUE India | Vogue India

Bridal makeup takes longer to do, for good reason

“You could pull off a subtle look for a dinner—just a clean liner and lipstick—however [to] create a soft, clean look for a bride, I will have to spend more time,” says Pahuja. Your lipstick will need to be super pigmented, and not simply swiped on your lips—you’ll need to buff away dry flakes, prime with a little dab of foundation, go in with a lip pencil for a base and then apply at least two coats of colour to make sure it stays through all the smiles—and that’s why wedding makeup takes longer to do.

Kashif Aslam – PK.

Kashif Aslam throws light on his journey with his sister across the niches they have jumped into so far.
 
It is wondrous to know and learn about all those individuals who, before desiring to attain success, make sure to put enough effort towards attaining excellence first. All the growing industries that we hear about today are running successfully because of the relentless hard work and resilience of these youngsters from across the world. Serving as one of the finest examples of such talented beings are Kashif Aslam and Anum Aslam, the famous siblings in the beauty industry, who are now sought-after celebrity makeup artists from Karachi. Kashif Aslam as the older sibling, who is still in his early thirties, has gone ahead in the beauty and makeup industry, thanks to his dedication and commitment to providing newer styles and looks to his clients and always innovating in his work to stand out from the crowd.
 
Kashif Aslam, who is a multi-talented makeup artist, influencer and entrepreneur, sat down to talk in detail about his work with his younger sister Anum Aslam. Together, they run their brand “Kashee’s”, which is the result of their continuous hustling, creativity and hard work. Kashif starts by saying that at the naive age of 15, he began his journey as a hair expert, which included styling, cutting, colouring, etc. Then, he started his journey as a freelance makeup artist and did many backstage makeups, hair stylings on many Pakistani celebrities for different TV channels, fashion walks, morning shows. After overcoming many struggles and hurdles in life, he also trained his sister Anum Aslam and planned to start his business in the beauty industry.
 
This resulted in the initiation of “Kashee’s Beauty Parlour”, which gained immense love and recognition in a short time for its services in hair and makeup. Then, he came up with Kashee’s Men Salon, which also gained much popularity. In his quest to do more creative things and increase his knowledge, Kashif Aslam learned photography and videography and opened his own photo studio with 100’s of different beautiful real backgrounds, making them the top-rated salon in town. Kashif extended his studio and opened a huge photo studio at DHA, offering complete packages of bride and groom services, makeups, mehndi, styling, studio shoots and even event coverages.
 
Kashif Aslam has shown his prowess in teaching as well with doing makeup and hair workshops nationwide and has won an award of 100 bridal competition, amongst others. Next, he jumped into bridal wear and opened Kashee’s Bridal Boutique, which gave him celebrity clients. Both Kashif and Anum have thrived on their creative skills in the industry, which has helped them remain at the top. They opened their Hair Extensions Line as Kashee’s Hair Extension Department. Even after this, they did not stop working and came up with their cosmetics line, creating their own beauty products.
 
Kashif Aslam reveals that he extended his salon in another corner of the city and handed it over to his sister Anum Aslam. He even started working on his jewellery line and opened a huge makeup and jewellery corner named as Kashee’s Kingdom, which includes royal and stylish bridal heavy and delicate pieces of jewellery.
 
Kashee’s has become a go-to brand for many, and that proves the success Kashif and Anum have attained in the industry so far. Do follow them on Instagram @kashees_official to know more.
