Hi guys...I'm wondering if anyone out there has done makeup for fitness competition gals? Any tips or recommended products?! I have a contract coming up and would love your feedback. Chat soon :)

Awesome!! I used to do competitions in figure. I have hired plenty of artists for out of state events so I can only give you tips from the client side. First and foremost we need makeup that will last under the hot stage lights and from the stress of going up on stage to show every single muscle engaged (tough to do while still smiling and trying to play it off as being easy). So drugstore stuff isn't going to bode well. Our faces need to show up and POP so contouring is a must along with false lashes and colorful lips. Another thing of importance...many of us can be snappy,snippy chicks because prior to competition we have placed our diets under tighter constraints so by this big day we are irritable beyond belief (we crave steak,cheeseburgers, chocolate cake and often reward ourselves with all that food afterwards).So if you get snapped at don't take it personal. And we like a quick and super efficient artist as it can be total chaos backstage and we need time to warm up and get our minds right. If you have the luxury of gettung her ready in her hotel...SCORE! Less stress on your end. Oh, I also forgot to add...ask if you can get a pic of her competition bikini as some of us love matching up our makeup with our suit. A theme of sorts.

Very good info Shelley.

I wore bright pink lippies everytime I competed. And my trainer did red lippie as her signature. All that darkness (aka tanned look) gave a nice contrast when we wear a bright lippie.

Cali...you need to get your in shape cute behind up on stage in the bikini category. You'd run those girls off the stage. Your abs are off the chain.

What!??! My husband was excited when I first started competing and was sad when I stopped for health reasons. Its very hard for most men to handle seeing their women in such a sport. I know mine definitely had a hard time trying to deal with the men approaching me. Well, hopefully he has a change of heart because your bod is made for it and now the sport is getting more mainstream attention and gals are actually making a living with it thru product endorsements and modeling.

I guess mufe would be the best foundation and powder?

Shelley W.
Yes Malika...MUFE is the best way to go. And be sure to carry extra business cards on you as well...I've heard girls inquire my artist about future assignments after they've seen her finished work (especially those who did their own makeup). Great way to snag new clients. ;) Congrats on the gig.
