Cosmetics, Beauty / Maquillaje
English term or phrase: canvas
One of the most interesting and intriguing aspects of the human face is that every person has unique facial features and characteristics. A makeup artist’s goal is to emphasize each individual’s most stunning and attractive features. To allow for attention to detail and guarantee spectacular results, makeup application must begin with the ideal canvas. Creating the ideal canvas involves proper prepping of the skin and the selection of appropriate concealer, foundation, powder and blush, along with the correct application of products given the individual’s face shape.
