Secrets of creating an Indian makeup
The whole "token" of Indian make-up is that it must be bright. We all learned the rule, embedded in our minds by European make-up artists, that make-up should focus on one thing: either the eyes or the lips. But Indian beauties distinguish both.
So they emphasize their beauty. And it's worth noting that it does not look vulgar at all, because Hindu has dark skin and hair, large eyes and lips. With this "potential" when creating makeup, there is where to go for a walk. That's why makeup in the Indian style is recommended for wearing dark-skinned brunettes.
However, blondes can also try on the image of an Indian, you only need to carefully choose the colors. It should be remembered that our Slavic features are significantly different from the characteristics of Indian girls. But even with our "makings" you can make an Indian make-up (a photo with domestic stars will show you this), which will not yield to the original.
How to make Indian make-up most, if you do not have your own staff of make-up artists and stylists like Vera Brezhneva? Just remember the rules for creating this makeup.
Rule number 1
The most expressive should be the eyes! Indian eye makeup means using eyeliner (at least), as well as a wide palette of shadows (as a maximum). Very often, from the outline of the century, the second arrow is drawn, which visually increases the incision of the eyes. With the help of the contour, the eyes should be given an almond shape, even if you do not have it. The photo shows several options for how to make an Indian makeup step by step.
Rule No. 2
The eyebrows on the face of the Indian girls are clearly outlined and have a semicircular shape (there should be no kinks, sharp points, "flying", etc.). Use traditional black for eyebrows or brown if you are blonde or fair-haired.
Rule No. 3
The skin tone should be uniform throughout the face. Use a tonal with a tint. Do not allocate certain areas (cheekbones, cheeks, etc.). All Indians are chubby by nature, and therefore all lines of your face should be soft, rounded, if you decide to make Indian makeup. If you still want to use blush, then they should be bronze shades, not pink ones.
Rule No. 4
When you are painting your lips, use a pencil. The lip contour should be clearly outlined and match the color of the lipstick in color. Lipstick can be matte or pearly. Please note: shiny gloss makes the lips visually fuller. If they are naturally plump enough by nature, cover them with a better matte lipstick, so that the makeup does not look ludicrous.
Rule No. 5
Do not forget about bindi (point on forehead)! No Indian woman can do without her, she protects a woman from a bad eye. Traditionally, bindi has a round shape and a red color, but now there are various variations of it - in the form of a flower or geometric form. In the choice of colors, you are also not limited. Experiment!
Rule No. 6
Without distinctive ornaments, your Indian image will not be completed. As a rule, they are massive, symmetrical and richly decorated with stones. In the literal sense of the word, the Indian girl is covered from head to toe with earrings in the ears and nostrils, in the navel, bracelets on the arms and legs, all kinds of chains, necklaces, head ornaments (mangtika or tikka).
Photo review of the most common mistakes of Indian makeup
Our compatriots, trying to make up the make-up of Indian girls on their own, often make common mistakes.
Mistake # 1
Asymmetry. In Indian women symmetry is manifested in everything: in hair, in make-up, in ornaments. The girl in the photo below made a parting on her side and brought to nothing all efforts in creating the Indian image. Traditional jewelry for India looks ridiculous because it does not divide the hair into two equal halves, as it should be.
Mistake # 2
Pale lips. Indian makeup does not tolerate pallor and blurryness: everything should be bright and clear. The girl in the photo below made her lips light pink, depriving her make-up of the oriental entourage.
Mistake # 3
Excessive application of blush and highlighting of cheekbones. Undoubtedly all the girls in the photo below the beauty, but they forgot that in Indian make-up everything should be "rounded". And even if your natural face shape is square or elongated, you can still round it with the help of the correct make-up. But in this case, the wrong Indian makeup is represented: the cheekbones should not stand out, otherwise it is Russian-Indian make-up (in other words, a vinaigrette).
Mistake # 4
Broken eyebrow line. Once again, the makeup of Indian girls is the smoothness of the lines in everything. It concerns the rules and eyebrows.
In the photo below all the mistakes are put together. This is a general pallor, and eyebrows, and a transparent luster on the lips, and too dark places of cheekbones, and almost invisible arrows in the eyes. Needless to say, this image turned out to be unsuccessful.
We hope that our work on the mistakes will not allow you to make a mistake in creating your own make-up in the Indian style.
