Blog 16: Answer 2

1. What is your EQ?
How can a make-up artist best maximize customer satisfaction?

2. What is your first answer?
A make-up artist can best maximize customer satisfaction by communicating with the customer.

 3. What is your second answer?
A make-up artist can best maximize customer satisfaction by using the proper techniques during application.

4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
Answer one:
If the makeup artist does not communicate with the client she/he will not know the clients skin type and the makeup will either be drying to the skin or will come right off.

If the makeup artist does not communicate with the client she/he will not know the undertone of the client and once applying the makeup it will be a different undertone than the clients undertone.

If the makeup artist does not communicate with the client she/he will not know what the client wants as the final outcome or the look that the client is looking for such as a smokey eye, natural look or others.

Answer two:
If the makeup artist does not use the proper techniques she/he will possiably leave streeks, brush marks or other marks on the face.

If the makeup artist does not use the proper techniques then she/he can leave the client with a cakey/ heavy look or even not apply enough makeup on the skin to cover the clients imperfections.

If the makeup artist does not use the propper techniques then she/he may not blend the makeup completely and may leave blotchy spots and other imperfections.

7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.

I have been thinking about my answer three. I am most likely going to revole it around the preparation before applying makeup and how skincare ties into the outcome of the makeup.
