Make-Up Aritist magazine presents MATTHEW AMBROSIO
Runway Dos & Don’ts


Runway make-up has no true definition. The styles and looks are dictated by the clothing designer/key make-up artist and can span very classic to extremely eccentric. It is important for a make-up artist to know what is too much and what is too little. Finding a good balance between the make-up, hair and clothing design is the key to getting a callback. If you are new to runway, this class will teach you how to prepare.
