But what if the skin on the neck and neckline does not have a very pleasant shade? If the neck is very pale, "ice" - a shade of face is better to make porcelain. If the skin has a greenish palate - give the face a golden hue. If the neck tone is grayish - the most suitable shade for the face is beige.
Principle of parallel lines
Performing make-up at home in accordance with the 5 lines of harmony is a key moment in the "construction" of an impeccable person. The principle of ascending parallel lines provides a natural lifting, which any of us needs, regardless of age, because we all aspire to standard forms.
Five lines of harmony

Identify your color
Color types of our appearance are manifested in the color of the iris of the eyes, the shade of hair and skin. Most often, colorists define them as spring, summer, autumn or winter color. Each of them corresponds to a certain color palette. Having determined your color, you will easily select the decorative cosmetics and shade of hair, which perfectly match your natural color, emphasizing its dignity.
Smoke in the eyes
"Smokey ayz" is an eternal classic. "Smoky eyes" never go out of fashion. They are adored by actresses, models and ordinary girls. Join now! Highlight the upper and lower eyelids (outer and inner parts) with a dark pencil along the line of the eyelashes, slightly widening the line to the outer corner of the eye. If you need to make the view more almond shaped, continue the line beyond the natural border of the growth of the eyelashes. Well, paint the gaps between the eyelashes. In dark shadows, shade a pencil, creating a dynamic to the outer corner of the eye. Take care that the pencil does not erase, but only its external border is shaded. Blend the border of the dark shadows with a shade on the tone softer. Choose combinations of similar shades (dark blue pencil with blue shadows, dark brown with brown). Black pencil can be shaded with any dark shade of shadows. Apply a layer of black mascara on your eyelashes. "Smokey ayz" is especially effective in combination with pale lips. Use a light pomade or glitter. With the make-up of Smokey ais, contrasting combinations look advantageous: with blue and blue eyes, a brown pencil and shadows; with brown - blue, with green - purple. But you can also use shades similar to the color of the eyes.
Correct eyebrows
Well-groomed eyebrows of the right form "open" the eyes and make them more expressive. The person as a whole looks more beautiful, harmonious and spiritual.
We form
To give the eyebrows an ideal shape, you will need a good pair of tweezers with flat beveled tips.
- Take the big mirror and put it at the window. Daylight should fall evenly on both sides of the face. Sit in front of the mirror, take a pencil and attach it to your face parallel to the nose. One end of the pencil should be at the beginning of the eyebrow, and the second - near the corner of the mouth. The point at which the pencil intersects with the eyebrow is the beginning of the eyebrow. All hairs that extend beyond the pencil line towards the bridge of the nose, remove.
- To determine where the eyebrow should end, attach the pencil to the face diagonally. It must pass from the wing of the nose to the outer corner of the eye and then to the eyebrow. The end of the eyebrow should be where it intersects with the pencil. All hairs that go beyond this line are superfluous, they should be carefully removed
- Then pull out all the hairs that are noticeably knocked out from the common line. Pay special attention to the second half of the eyebrow - above the outer corner of the eye. Remove also all the thin, colorless hairs growing around the eyebrows. The highest point of the eyebrow - its bend - should be above the outer edge of the iris, when you look directly in front of you.
Make the eyebrows more dense
To make eyebrows visually more dense it is possible by means of a pencil for brows, and also using shadows or a special powder. Eyebrows, decorated with shadows or powder look more mild and natural. In this case, you will need a corner brush - a small brush with a chamfered end.
- Choose a pencil, shadow or powder of the appropriate shade. It should be a tone lighter than your hair color to look natural. Blondes and red-haired girls will fit light brown, light gray-brown and sandy hues. Brown-haired and brunette - dark shades of gray-brown.
- Color your eyebrows with short movements in the direction of hair growth. The strokes should be light. The hair of the eyebrows are of unequal thickness, so draw them thicker at the base and reduce them "to nothing" at the ends. If you bring this technique to perfection, the drawn sections of the eyebrow will be very difficult to distinguish from the natural ones. The shape of the eyebrows can be fixed with a special gel - transparent or with the desired shade.
Your perfect couple
The classical form of eyebrows is arcuate. Such eyebrows harmoniously look on any face, without violating its proportions. The horizontal eyebrows visually expand the face. Eyebrows with a small interbrow space narrow the distance between the eyes. Long falling eyebrows visually expand the lower part of the face, and the ascending and not very long narrow the face at the top. Very wide eyebrows give the face a gloomy frown. By changing the shape of the eyebrows, you can correct the oval of your face.
• If the face is round, it is desirable to avoid horizontal eyebrows and generally exclude clear, straight lines. On this face, the eyebrows will look more organically a bit round. At the same time, the highest point of the eyebrow should be moved closer to the temple.
• On the face of a triangular shape, eyebrows look unsuccessful with a "house", as well as falling eyebrows. But the ascending will look great! This shape of the eyebrows will visually narrow the excessively wide forehead and add the missing volume of the lower part of the triangular face.
• On the square face, rather long eyebrows curved in the form of a smooth arc will look good.
• For the face of an elongated form, you can advise almost horizontal, straight eyebrows. With these eyebrows, it will look wider and less elongated.
Balance in make-up
Mentally divide your face into half - upper and lower, and remember the important rule of light and shadow. In general, there are 4 basic makeup combinations at home: dark eyes in combination with light lips, light eyes with dark lips, light eyes with light lips and dark eyes with dark lips. It should be noted that the concepts "light" and "dark" are relative. You can change the intensity and use the middle tones. Division of the face into the left and right half is another case of balance and, as a rule, requires a simple matching of the length of the eyebrows and the lip line.
Day makeup
In the appearance of each of the color types there is a dominant sub-tint, which in daytime make-up is important to emphasize. For summer - it is gray, for spring - yellow, for autumn - buffy, for winter it is important to choose the most pure color of preferably cold scale. For example, if we talk about the natural brown shade, the most suitable for day makeup at home: for the summer - it is gray-brown, lilac-brown, silver-brown; for autumn - ochristo-brown, beet-brown; for spring - a soft ocher-brown, honey; for winter - silvery brown or bitter chocolate. Light shadows are best to choose a contrasting eye color. Picking lipstick, follow the simple rule: the darker the skin, the darker the tone can be afforded. Do you want something hotter? Then no compromises! Put your lips in red! Flaming red! Sensual, cocky, delicious.
- Lipstick will lie flat and beautiful only on well-moisturized lips. Regularly take care of them with nutrients and moisturizers. Once a week, exfoliate your lips with special scrubs and peelings.
- Before applying the lipstick, moisten your lips well to make them smooth. Then apply a base, for example, a translucent powder - it will fix the color of the lipstick.
- With a soft outline pencil, circle your lips. Lipstick will last longer if you shade the whole surface of your lips with a pencil.
- You can put a transparent shine on the lipstick. Apply it from the middle of the lips to the corners. Do not start from the corners - you can lubricate the line. In order to perfectly make up the lips, you will need a special little brush for lipstick. Apply the redest saturated color that you can afford, on the entire surface of the lips in the direction from the corners to the middle. To fix the color, powder the lips with friable powder through a very thin paper napkin. To do this, you will need a large brush for powder. Do this carefully so as not to smudge the lipstick. Then apply another layer of lipstick and again powder.
