After all, a stylish and properly selected makeup will be able to unobtrusively and easily emphasize your beauty, while shielding from prying eyes even significant skin imperfections. Therefore, you should know a few secrets and basic rules for applying make-up in general. Only after this, we turn to the main theme of the article "Makeup. Make-up lessons: day and evening make-up "and consider the most fashionable versions and techniques of make-up. You just have to carefully read the article and draw conclusions for yourself!
But it is not enough to buy a lot of cosmetic products in the hope that they will immediately help you to be transformed. The skin needs constant careful care, then there will be less flaws that need to be corrected with decorative cosmetics. Yes, and self-esteem is much higher, if you are in the morning, looking in the mirror, do not feel an acute desire to immediately run after the cosmetic bag and bring yourself into a divine appearance.
Remember several rules of how to approach make-up in general.
- Do not forget to thoroughly clean and moisturize your face, making these procedures in the morning and at bedtime. Protective creams are applied to the face in the daytime - when it is most susceptible to negative effects of extraneous factors (cold wind, severe frost or hot sun). Nutritious masks and creams are used only in the evening, before going to bed.
- There is a certain sequence of applying cosmetic products (of course, it is not necessary, but it is better to listen to the opinion of the professionals who created it): first we apply tonal remedy, then work with cheeks and cheekbone, then with eyes. Finishes the image of makeup sponges.
- In order not to miscalculate with the color or shade of the cosmetic, take the trouble to make your makeup in the light of the sun - after all, it is in natural light that you will be seen by passers-by.
- Many women see the main purpose of makeup as covering all their shortcomings. Our lessons tell us that such an approach is fundamentally wrong: better concentrate your efforts on making your dignity brighter and more visible!
- Before you take any cosmetic in your hands, think about something pleasant: let the sadness disappear from your face, because it only increases the weight and makes you a little older. Smile to the new day and your reflection in the mirror - and start boldly applying makeup.
Let's take a closer look at the main stages of applying cosmetics, trying to predict all the questions that may arise in the readers, and, if possible, answer them.
So, you started the cosmetic "molding" of your current image in the morning. You started with cleansing and moisturizing - as we advised. And what's next?
Next you need a tonal base, a base for make-up. Its main goal is to model the face, to align its color and try to hide all those small defects and flaws that do not need special attention in view of their insignificance. If you are a little familiar with the artistic terminology, then the tonal base is a kind of palette that you will "revive" with colors of different colors and shades. But here you need to remember that the main thing in this business is not the amount of foundation. The main thing is to be able to choose the shade and type of remedy. And here, too, there are several small and simple rules, guided by which you can correctly apply the makeup base.
1. Shade - that's what is important when choosing a tonal basis. It should ideally match the color of your face, so do not take this purchase through your sleeves - otherwise you will suffer from this negligence. Wiggling between several shades, stop your attention on the lighter one. Just a little bit lighter tone - and your fatigue will be completely invisible, moreover, this small and uncomplicated reception is able to hide even small wrinkles from your eyes.
2. To improve the effect of using tonal cosmetic products, it is not enough just to put it on the face. Here it is necessary not to forget about the sponges and even the contour of the eyes, which must also be "involved" during the application of cosmetics. In addition, the tonal remedy must necessarily be applied to the neck - at least a little to smooth the transition from the tone of the face - to the tone of the decollete zone, which may vary slightly.
3. The owner of a dry skin type for sure now sadly notes that most tonal remedies are simply not suitable, as they make this dryness more noticeable. However, do not worry, dear ladies, there are a great many moisturizing creams that will soak the skin and make it smooth and as if shining from the inside.
4. Do not try to immediately cover the entire face with a tonal remedy. First, apply a few drops to the "main" areas of the face: the forehead, chin and spout, and then just lightly move the fingers spread the cream all over the face, taking as a basis the direction from the center - to the forehead and temples.
5. Depending on whether your makeup needs to be updated periodically and corrected throughout the day, the sponge you apply to the tonal base is selected. If you still need to correct some strokes, take a dry sponge, and if, on the contrary, you want makeup to stay as long as possible without changes, use a damp sponge.
When all procedures with a tonal basis are made, there is a stage number two, which implies the use of blush and powder.
Every woman knows that the powder is of two kinds: friable and compact, but not everyone knows which one is for this or that purpose. To makeup was flawless, you need to fill this gap in knowledge. So, if the make-up is supposed to be more or less permanent, and you do not intend to make any corrections to your image throughout the day, then choose the loose powder, because it will better fix the base for make-up and prevent the blush from falling off. But if you think that your image will not last all day and you will sometimes have to update it a little, then it is better to use a powder compact: it is very convenient to apply at any time with a sponge. Just watch to remove from the face of her surplus, which from the outside looks not very cute. Just take a thick brush - and brush it off your face with extra dust particles.
Many modern girls now do not use blush. Perhaps, everyday make-up does not oblige them to use, but for special occasions, blush does not hurt - because only they can make your face even more expressive. However, be careful with the choice of the color scheme of blush. Before you buy a favorite tone, remember a few basic rules. Reddish shades will suit the owner of matte and slightly tanned skin. But if you are pale skinned, then pay attention to the rouge of pink shades. And regardless of whether you are swarthy or not, you can safely use the blush of coral scales - they just highlight from inside any type of skin.
After applying the blush, we proceed to, perhaps, the most important stage of make-up - we paint eyes. Our lessons are designed to make you even a day's make-up professionally, so now we will give some practical tips that will help you at any time make your eyes expressive and even more beautiful.
Before you grab for shadows or mascara, take a corrective for the eyes and with it, carefully get rid of the weighting dark circles. It will take quite a bit of money - and these few drops need to be properly shaded with a special brush or pads of fingers so that the transition line is not noticeable. Take a cotton swab and gently remove the excess remedy, so that it does not slide down.
If you need a persistent makeup, then before you apply your favorite shadows on your eyelids, drop a little on them with your tonal remedy, blurring it with your finger. If you do not have it at hand, then the usual powder is also useful. Well, in general, on sale there are special emulsions, which you need to use as a base under the shade.
Many girls think that shadows of the same shade as the iris of the eye are best for them. That is, blue-eyed ladies are very fond of abusing bluish shades - and they sign the "death sentence" of the brightness of their eyes. After all, this uniformity makes them much more dim than they really are.
In case you simply do not represent your makeup without podvodki, you will need a small trick that allows you to make this delicate "procedure" with the accuracy of the jeweler, and the result of your efforts then becomes an ideal thin line. Take the mirror and install it in front of the face. Chin try to raise as much as possible, through half-closed eyelashes you should hardly see your reflection. So the eyelid literally "freezes" and does not prevent you from drawing a beautiful line.
If you doubt the choice of podvodki - I mean, think: if you take a liquid or use a pencil for your eyes, then first determine: what type of makeup are you going to do? After all, liquid podvodka, albeit good in that it is very persistent, but still in front of her looks a bit too abrupt and somewhere even defiantly. Therefore, it will be best to use it in evening make-up. But a soft pencil perfectly emphasizes your eyes in the daytime version of makeup.
I want to say a few words about carcasses. It does not matter which brand you use - most likely, it is this mascara that has been tested by you in time and it has proven its suitability in makeup many times, but remember: do you use mascara, which is called water resistant? If so, then you need to know that it is not very useful for the eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses. And although she has an undoubted advantage - in case emotions overwhelm you, she will help not to "spread" all make-up over her face - but still her minuses are no less important. In fact, in addition to harm to the eyes, this mascara also often forms a little sympathetic lump on the cilia. Therefore, better leave the waterproof mascara and go to the water repellent - it is much more practical and not so damaging to the eyes, and besides it is much easier to wash off and not sypetsya.
Girls often buy mascara for a long period of time, arguing that they do not use ink intensively, and the money is enough for many months in a row. However, this opinion, we admit, is very fraught with conjunctivitis. Why? It's simple: mascara is the best breeding ground for microbes that such a moist environment appeals to. Therefore, if the ink stays in your cosmetic bag of the month for three - then after this period, be sure to drop it and get a new one - even if you did not use the old one before the victory.
The final touch in any make-up is, of course, sponges. Although they are not the final touch of your image in general! The rules for applying lipstick are old as the world and are very simple.
Surely in your cosmetic bag there is a newfangled remedy - pencil stick, which serves to make the lips more elastic. It is with this cosmetic and must begin the makeup of the lips as a whole.
Next - the turn of the pencil for the lips, which need to accurately draw a contour. Remember that the tone of the pencil should be slightly darker than the tone of the main lipstick. Do not leave the contour sharp - slightly shade it, moving from the center - to the periphery.
"What can I do if I do not use a lip liner?" You ask. Then you will come to the aid of matte lipstick, which will become the very base for the main color (or lip gloss - depending on what you are used to using). And do not try to apply as much lipstick on the sponge, because the more it is - the faster it will wear off. After all, it is not in vain at any cosmetics store to sell special brushes with which to apply lipstick - they will help to take the right amount and do not turn the process into a tediously long occupation, since they are able to capture at once most of the surface of the lips.
The final touch in the make-up of the lips should be shine. Apply a little bit, do not try to use the floor of the tube at a time. Do not forget to take shine with you - it's very convenient because it's easy to update from time to time.
If you seriously approached the makeup and did everything, as we advised - it will turn out to be very persistent and will please you all day. However, at night, a woman encounters a new difficulty: make-up after all, it is also necessary to wash off your face properly! The correct make-up will succumb to improvised means and will be washed without any problems.
If you used waterproof cosmetic products in makeup, then you will need a special wash that ideally removes the remains of makeup from the face so that it does not clog pores. After applying this remedy, you just have to wash yourself with warm water and you will free the skin from fat.
Cosmetology does not stand still and is actively developing as a science. Now in a fashion and special honor at stylists and cosmetologists specially developed napkins which in a few seconds will clear your face from a make-up. However, do not rush to buy the first pack, which will proudly say that these napkins are used by beauticians. It is better to study the market in advance and find out which brands should be trusted. Why do we need all this monitoring? But you can run into a fake - and then the money will be blown to the wind. But these make-up wipes are so convenient! It is only necessary to attach them, say, to the century, hold a few seconds - and carefully remove. And everything, the skin will be clean! Is not this every woman dreams of in the evening, when she has a tedious procedure of removing make-up?
However, the napkins may not be at all suitable for wiping lipstick from lips - here you will need something else. For example, if lipstick is particularly persistent, try to war with it ... Vaseline! Yes, yes, you just put it on a thin layer on the lips and wait a little - you will see that to wash off the lipstick after such a "mask" will not be difficult.
Perhaps you will be surprised to learn that some means for removing waterproof makeup from your face can help you to remove lipstick as well - however, all this is strictly individual, so it's better to use Vaseline - the result is obvious!
In principle, if in your arsenal of funds for washing make-up there is milk and tonic - then this should be enough to wash off even the most persistent make-up from your face.
In the process of applying makeup, there are often minor unpleasant incidents, which I would like to avoid. Perhaps the cause is rush, but the fact remains - on the face there are annoying "bloopers", and you sometimes do not even know how to deal with them. In the end, do not repaint you again, right?
To help you get out of any problem situation, we offer you a number of tips that will allow you to correct in a few minutes what went wrong.
- So, suddenly you notice that you have overdone it too much in applying the foundation - it makes your face heavier and makes it all the rest of the make-up problematic. What to do? Do not panic: the output is simple enough! Take your day cream and gently apply it with a thin layer of sponge on the entire face. After that, immediately wipe it with a tissue to remove excess cream.
- You were in a hurry to put a foundation on your face and did not even notice how thoroughly your eyebrows were captured. As a result, they were covered with clumps of foundation and do not look very nice. There is a way out: you just need to take a brush for your eyelashes and comb them. After that, dip the brush into the lotion, wipe and again comb each hair. By the way, the following information is useful to those who have a problem sticking out in different directions of hairs in the eyebrows. To give them the right direction and bend, you just need to sprinkle the brush with a hairspray before you comb your brows.
- It often happens that during the make-up of the eyes, shadows scatter over the face - it's very ugly, especially if the color of the shadows is saturated and visible from afar. But do not be scared: to remove these tiny particles you will help a large makeup brush. Just lightly brush off the excess from the face, only it is advisable not to use force, so that the shadows do not stick into the skin.
- It happens that when you paint a cilium, a brush with mascara touches the upper eyelid, leaving a dark imprint there. But my eyes are already shaded! Do not worry, just take a cotton swab and quickly and clearly wipe the stain of the carcass as short a stroke.
- If you suddenly disregarded the main rule of make-up - to do it exclusively in daylight - then as a result you can see that all the colors turned out much brighter than you wanted: perhaps this range does not fit your image as a whole. However, do not rush to run to the washbasin and wash off your face makeup, because with loose powder you can fix the situation and make the makeup not so bright.
Every woman believes that she has enough knowledge and skills to make a make-up competently: at least a day, even a difficult holiday. Let you paint for at least ten years - it sometimes does not help you to avoid very common mistakes. And it's not scary - after all, only those who do nothing do not make mistakes in our lives. Let's consider these mistakes with the goal of not repeating them ever - it will greatly facilitate your efforts.
The first error. Foundation.
More precisely, the error is rather not in a voice-frequency cream, but in its absence. After all, very often women refuse to use this cosmetic remedy for one simple, but very weighty reason: after him the face seems to be chained, it seems to you that the skin looks unnatural. However, do not forget that it is with the help of foundation, you can "level" the face, dancing to this cream - a perfect base for make-up of any complexity. Should I abandon it? Moreover, modern cosmetics have not left a reminder of the old ones, which really brought discomfort. After all, during their use, the skin seemed to dry up, shrink - which, naturally, did not bring any pleasure, despite even the flawless appearance. The tonal cream now often also humidifies a skin, he practically is not felt on the face - in fact its or his formula is not burdened by any additives. And powder! It is light and weightless, but at the same time it is with powder that you can easily get rid of skin imperfections.
It is very responsible to approach the choice of tonal basis. It is chosen taking into account the skin type. If you are a dry type, you will need a moisturizing or clearing agent. It can easily be used as a regular cream. Fortunately, the choice is now great - you can find your tool that is perfect for you and will not strike at the wallet. But fatty or mixed skin such a tool is unlikely to work: here it is necessary to pay special attention to those tonal remedies, which in consistence resemble powder. It will score the expanded pores and "straighten out" the face, giving him the ideal color.
The second error. Light masking corrector.
No, we do not want to say that it should not be in your cosmetic bag - not at all. On the contrary, the masking remedy is simply irreplaceable for those who often have dark circles under their eyes in the mornings. To get rid of them is sometimes very problematic - that's why we resort to masking means. But here lies the insidious mistake: it is only necessary for you to choose the shade of the means incorrectly - and not only will you not hide your shortcoming - but, on the contrary, you simply pin the attention to it. After all, the masking agent should not be one iota different from the tone of the face as a whole. Otherwise, too light spots under the eyes will "shine" on your face, which, naturally, does not meet your requirements for make-up. Therefore, if insomnia or nervousness affects your appearance with purple shadows under your eyes, then take in hand a means for marking "bruises", the color of which should be within the peach scale.
The third error. Not the shade of tonal means.
Who does not want to seem like a swarthy fatal beauty, especially if in the summer you did not manage to go to the sea, and you feel indecently white among the crowd. In such cases, women usually try to correct the situation with foundation creams. They just choose the shade darker - and, without regretting the tonal remedy, try to give the skin the look of a natural tan. However, this usually leads to the opposite effect: instead of a beautiful and smooth tan you get a contrasting face with the body, which can not help but be conspicuous.
However, do not despair - you can give your face a tanned form much easier and without such "sacrifices": use your native tonal remedy, and just apply a special bronzing agent on top of it. There is another option - to use blush and powder of the appropriate shades. These funds must be applied to all the places that darken a little in the usual tan: that is, on the cheeks and nose, forehead and chin - only then will your tan look as natural and beautiful as possible.
The fourth mistake. The skin needs care.
One make-up is not beautiful - that's what every one of us should know. The skin needs constant care and care - and only then it will respond to you with mutual love, shine with beauty from within and glow. You need to carefully choose skin care products - and then you will not need to hide makeup skin defects, because they simply do not happen when you look after the face. In addition, such care for the skin of the face will help you significantly delay the time when the first, very weak, signs of aging begin to appear. Therefore, in your arsenal of skin care products, there must necessarily be a cream that would protect it from the negative effects of the sun. In addition, each owner of oily skin simply must moisturize it constantly and cleanse with special lotions. However, follow the composition of the funds: it is desirable that they do not have different oils.
The fifth mistake. Autumn on the calendar - does not mean fall in makeup!
No, we do not mean the state of mind - autumn. Just recently, often come across a newly formed rule: each season - their own make-up paints. The most offensive, that this idea was picked up by many women and began to actively sort their cosmetics on the principle of a "calendar". As a result, at the end of summer everyone is bored with "summer" colors, so you want something cold and fresh. But in fact, no - taboo, until winter is still far away!
Women, dear, who else should rule our beauticians, if not ourselves? What determines the presence of these or other flowers in them, how not our desire? So release him to freedom. Make-up is an art. The art of being beautiful, in the first place, perhaps, just for yourself. After all, a woman who loves herself has that spark in her eyes that attracts not only the opposite sex, but also other representatives of the weaker sex. Therefore, if you want to make up your lips with bright scarlet lipstick - safely take it in your hands and paint, even if it's not "season" outside the window. You can decide for yourself when and what color you should decorate - and obeying fashion trends undoubtedly would be absolute recklessness.
Error Six. Makeup without applicators!
Doing make-up without a set of special brushes and applicators is a mauve ton. Cosmetologists have created them for some reason? Probably, for convenience of work with different cosmetic means. So why do we sometimes consciously return to the last century and selflessly with your finger in the palette of shadows? Of course, some processes are much easier to make with the fingers - for example, you can mix the cream well. However, if you work with blush or eye shadow - it is still better to use a brush and an applicator. They will help to apply cosmetics exactly, beautifully and professionally. After all, do you want your image to be perfect? To do this, all your actions must be perfect. Take advantage of what modern cosmetology has created, because it develops for the benefit of you and your appearance.
The mistake is the seventh. Acne: squeeze or leave?
Sometimes, looking in the mirror, we are horrified to find a pimple on his face. What immediately rushes to do every girl? Of course, to neutralize the enemy - I mean, squeezing out even the tiniest pustule. Herein lies the main mistake of yours! Remember: never under any circumstances pimples can not be squeezed out! There are several reasons for this. First, of course, the appearance of the squeezed acne is much worse than that of the untouched one. But this is not the most important thing. It is important that such an action can provoke the spread of infection throughout the face. That is, where there was recently one pustular, there will be ten - and from them to get rid is already more difficult. If you are going to a party, where you need to look brilliant, but the pimple does not make you feel confident - take any application means to get rid of the abscess.
Error eighth. The shape of the eyebrows.
Eyebrows - an important detail in your image. They should be of an ideal shape - wiggle, broad at the bridge of the nose - and gradually narrowing to the temples, like arrows. It is best, of course, to entrust care of the shape of the eyebrows to specialists in the salon, but often we decide that there is nothing complicated in this and can manage badly independently. And then we take tweezers and take it methodically, a hair behind the hair, bring the eyebrows in order. In any case, try to tidy up. But sometimes we are so addicted to the process that we do not notice how there are unsightly empty spaces between the hair, which sometimes looks ridiculous. To make them not noticeable - draw gaps with a pencil, imitating short, thin strokes of small hairs.
Remember the basic truth: do not try to change the natural bends of the eyebrows - when you pull them out, remove only the extra hair from the brow and under them. Better yet - to entrust this business to professionals and not to worry about what you might not be able to do.
Ninth mistake. How do you apply blush?
Blush is an obligatory attribute of professional make-up. After all, it is this cosmetic product that can revitalize and rejuvenate your image. However, you need to be able to correctly apply them, otherwise the effect of using can be absolutely opposite.
What is the error of the majority? In that you put a blush of dark shades directly on the cheeks - and after all this you add yourself a minimum of five to seven years! And sometimes more. Yes, and look such blush is not natural. But if you take a gentle pink, bronze or peach shade and lightly apply them to the right points of the cheekbones - then your image will instantly change, and the face will refresh. Only apply a blush not on the cheek itself, but on its middle, drawing a neat line to the temples.
We examined the basic rules and mistakes that occur most often during the application of makeup. Now you can easily avoid the latter by making your image truly perfect. Passing from general to specific, now we want to talk about two known types of make-up: day and evening. The technique of their execution is very different, there are hundreds of variants of combinations of colors and halftones, however, the general postulates of these types of makeup remain unchanged. Let's talk about each of them separately - they deserve close attention!
Being beautiful is the secret motto of every girl. In order to support it, we use all available to us cosmetic tricks, centimeter by centimeter, bringing your face and bodies closer to the desired result. However, if some girls under the concept of "make-up" see tons of cosmetics, then others see it as a symbiosis of a minimum of funds with natural beauty. This symbiosis is called "daytime make-up".
Its purpose is simple and clear: to make the girl more beautiful and pretty, how to hide imperfections of skin as imperceptibly as possible and show virtues, correct features. It can not be said that you will not need cosmetics. No! Daytime make-up - the same art, it requires the girl of a certain skill and skills, a set of objects and cosmetics that will help her to transform into a beautiful Cinderella.
Since we have touched on the issue of tools that you will definitely need in the makeup process, let's take a closer look at them, remember and do not forget to put them in our cosmetic bag.
- Applicators and brushes. Their number in this case is taken to be equated to four: these are brushes for powder and blush, lipsticks and shadows. If you are just going to visit a cosmetic store and buy a few brushes there - then stop your scrutiny on samples from natural villi. Such brushes will serve you for a long time, and their use will entail the perfect application of cosmetics on your face.
- Sponge in the number of two (can be more) pieces. For those who do not know what sponge is, let's say it's simpler: it's a sponge made of the most delicate foam, they are used to evenly distribute the foundation.
- A special comb, which will help give all the eyebrows a single eye. It is also advisable to buy a comb for the cilia, which will divide them and relieve the excess carcass.
- Tweezers to adjust the eyebrows - they are necessary, because the eyebrows - this is one of the most important elements of make-up in general, they must be impeccable.
A very important rule, one might even say a postulate, is to maintain all the necessary tools for make-up in perfect purity. The best option, of course, would be to handle tools with alcohol solution every time after their application. However, if there is no such possibility, and it is not foreseen, then you can simply thoroughly wash them with running water and soap and leave to dry yourself.
Having considered all the necessary tools, we will move on to cosmetic products, which must be in your cosmetic bag in order to recreate the correct make-up.
- First, you will initially need either lotion or tonic for the face of that cosmetic brand, which has already been tested for years and will not cause an allergic reaction.
- Tube of your favorite day cream. It is needed as a basic make-up remedy, which is the basis. After all, no professional make-up is applied to the "dry face".
- Tonalny means several shades, suitable for you on the color of the skin.
- Pencil for masking problem areas of the skin.
- Powders of different shades. Powder is one of the most basic and most basic tools in creating the ideal image of a girl. There are two types of powder: friable and compact. Each of them serves one purpose, but they are used in different situations. Compact powder is ideal for those options where you will need to adjust makeup throughout the day. However, for a more sustainable makeup, it is better to use loose powder - it is much more convenient and durable, in addition, it rests evenly on the face.
- Pencil is contour (you need a pencil for eyes and lips).
- Favorite and proven ink for cilia.
- Shadows of the colors and shades you need.
- Pomade.
So, for a start, let's define again - what is daylight make-up, and what image does it propagate. Daytime makeup is an exceptionally warm and gentle pastel halftone. It is a harmony of natural beauty and make-up, which is practically not noticeable from the outside. In this, its whole essence is to be invisible, but to make you beautiful. This rule is taken for a basis even by cosmetologists and professional visagistes of Hollywood! Daytime makeup is radically different then the evening one with its pallor, close to naturalness. While the festive makeup rather resembles a fighting coloring of Indians.
Day makeup: lighting
So, the first main rule of daytime make-up: it must be performed only in daylight. Why? The answer is simple: it is in the street, in the rays of the midday sun, that people will see you. A make-up should match the lighting. After all, if you make yourself up in the dim light of a lamp in a dim room - you risk overdoing it with paints and total makeup saturation - and then it is unlikely that it will be able to be called "daylight" because of its unacceptable contrast. On your face should be a minimum of a shadow, unlit spots should be in the minimum amount. After all, it is in these areas of the face and lies "a dirty trick: after being carried away, you can shade them more than other parts - and makeup will be asymmetrical, ridiculous.
If you have never tried to make yourself a daytime make-up, and you do not have any understanding of what it is and how it should be on your face, then the first stage of its fulfillment will be the so-called "search for yourself." Count on time - perhaps in the first few times you will need more than a dozen minutes to get used to and tune in to the right wave. Immediately remove the hair from your face - take the bandage or tie the "ponytail" - your "field of activity" should be as open as possible. Since working with cosmetics means the possibility of stains on clothing (for example, a brush with mascara can slip out of hands, or shatter the shadows). In order to avoid annoying situations, it is better to throw on your shoulders some cloak, which you will not feel sorry for. Now take cosmetic milk and thoroughly clean the skin of the face with corrosive dust and contaminants. On top apply make-up - tonic, and after it - a little bit of a day cream. Now take a closer look at your own, so far pure and virgin, oval face. Think: what would you like to see after the make-up is done? What colors to choose? Identify yourself for yourself - and only after that, proceed to the main part.
Toning the face
To begin a make-up (any) it is necessary from the masking means - a special pencil matched to the tone of your skin. They can easily hide a pigmented spot or a small healing scratch, which introduced so much disharmony into your image. However, there is one significant "but" - if an unfortunate "fresh" wound has settled on your face, then you will not only have to stop with a masking agent, but with cosmetics in general. Otherwise, you can expect deplorable consequences. Be engaged in drawing of the general tone on the face.
When these simple manipulations are carried out, take a closer look at your face and determine: what do not you like about yourself, what features (yes, there is no typos!) Would you like to correct a little? Maybe it will seem a little surprising to you, but if you are skillful in using cosmetics, you can correct a lot: take an imperfect face, smoothen the wide cheekbones a little, visually place eyes that are too close to each other. No, you will not need any special ultra-trendy and super-expensive means. You just need to buy dark and light foundation creams - after all, they are able to create the effect of expanding or narrowing the facial features.
So, a brief excursion into the possibilities of a dark and light toning agent. The first is designed to shorten, narrow, make less what you do not like. Accordingly, the light medium serves for opposite purposes.
Accordingly, if you are not satisfied with the length of your spout (you think it is excessive), it is only necessary to touch the tip of the nose with a sponge with a dark tonal tool, and back, on the contrary, lighten slightly. And it is noticeably shortened. This technique, of course, is applicable not only to the spout - but its essence, I think, is clear to all.
However, it is not worth playing around with this game and with ecstasy cover your face with layers of dark or light tonal means. Remember one unwritten truth: all these halftones and shades that you put on the face skin should not be separate "spots" in the image as a whole. Do not forget about the smooth transitions and blurred, inconspicuous boundaries between the means of different shades. Otherwise, your face may resemble an ineptly decorated doll.
Natural blush with cosmetics
The next step is applying a rouge. This is also a kind of art, you need to handle this cosmetic carefully and carefully. In principle, the rules of applying blush in something similar to a tonal tool. In any case, here the principle of dark and light shades also operates. You can safely use this for your own good. It is only necessary to determine correctly that zone of cheekbones, where blush will look natural and beautiful.
Magic of beautiful eyebrows
A very important detail of your entire image is the eyebrows. Eyebrows can be modeled by yourself or trust their makeup artist, at your discretion. It is important to remember only one thing: if you have small facial features and a narrow, not full face - then thin brows will be very helpful. But if the features of the face are large and expressive - it is better to balance them with thick brows. The shape of the eyebrows is quite easy to correct and personal, but one should not underestimate the importance of this process. Take a white pencil and draw them neatly those extra hairs that need to be removed. Pull out your eyebrows neatly, start with a wide edge, gradually moving to the thin end. Take your time - it's better to look in the mirror after each hair pulled out - were not you mistaken? After all, it is very important that the eyebrows are symmetrical and have the same shape - otherwise the symmetry of the face will be broken. After all the extra hairs have been removed - carefully comb each eyebrow, giving the hairs a single direction. If your eyebrows are seldom - this is fixable. Take a pencil for the eyebrows and with a light movement of the hand draw a few strokes, imitating those most missing hairs. And if the eyebrows are already sufficiently thick - just emphasize their natural curve with the help of shadows.
Before moving on to the next item of our daytime make-up, I want to remind you that you must initially decide for yourself: what emphasis will you make today? More precisely, on what. As you know, there are two options: an emphasis on the eyes or an emphasis on the sponge. That is, choose yourself, which today will be a highlight in your appearance.
Eye makeup - rules and tricks
It's time to make up your eyes. Perhaps, this stage is reasonably considered to be one of the most important, and it is necessary to treat it with all "responsibility". After all, eyes are soul lakes! So let them be as beautiful as your soul!
Now when choosing eyeshadows for girls, most often they focus on two colors - light and dark (gamma does not really matter). For what? The goal is clear: this combination will help bring the shape of the eyes closer to the ideal - beautiful "tonsils". Here, the color correction rules work flawlessly. For close-fitting eyes, you should use a technique that involves applying light shadows on the inner corner of the eye, and for the convex ones - the opposite, that is, when the shadows are darker on the inner corner of the eye. The main problem is usually that the girl can not independently assess: in what adjustments does she need? And in such situations it is better to seek help from outside. It's so clearer, and good advice will help you not to break wood.
Even more expressive eyes will be using eyeliner, which, by the way, also has the magic property of slightly adjusting the shape and cut of the eyes. If for evening make-up you can choose podvodku almost any, even unnatural color, then in the daytime it is better to still use one, the shade of which is ideally combined with the color of your cilia and eyebrows. You need to use the wiring when the shadows already adorn the eyelids - before, as you know, there is no sense, because the line so carefully drawn by your hand will be covered with shadows. Many girls begin to make a line with a line from the corner of the eye - most often from the inside. However, this is not right: starting to draw the "arrow" is needed from the middle of the century, heading to its outer edge. And only then, if you want to delineate the entire eyelid completely, you need to gently, without spoiling the features of the first line, go back, dorisovav arrow to the inner corner of the eye.
We will tell you also about those little tricks that can be pinned on. She can correct the incision of her eyes. For example, if your eyes always look sad and sad because the outer corner is lowered down, then you need to draw arrows, pulling them up as much as possible, thereby visually raising the eye contour. And in case the eyes are too far apart - then we advise you not to paint the eyelid with eyeliner - it's better to start the line from its middle.
The final touch in the makeup of the eyes will, of course, be mascara. It will wrap the cilia, make them blacker, thicker, longer - which will give the look a special sensuality, expressiveness. However, in this seemingly most banal and simple process, there are certain nuances. They touch, in the first place, the most cosmetic means. For example, make sure that purchased and unpacked mascara does not stay in your cosmetic bag for longer than three months - only such mascara can be considered fresh. If you take care of it and do not want to spend money on a new one, just remember that after this time you dye your eyelashes no longer with ink, but with solid bacteria, which in huge quantities like a tube with ink. In addition, do not overdo it with the remedy itself - do not try to get as many carcasses on the brush, it's best to gently remove the excess on the neck of the tube. The first to carefully paint the cilia, which grow on the outer corner of the eye, after - those that are located at the corner. Painting the cilia is best in two approaches, waiting a little after the first application, until the ink dries. I think it's superfluous to remind you in which direction the brush should move. We all intuitively paint the cilia correctly - from the roots to the tips. After you have repeated the mascara and waited until it has dried, take a brush for the cilia and brush them well - this will save them from unwanted lumps and give a single direction to growth. So eyelashes will look much prettier. If you want to make sure that mascara does not crumble with eyelashes for a long time, try to powder them before applying mascara.
Finishing make-up: sponges
The final touch of our daytime makeup is sponges. Here we want to immediately note: they should initially be touched by the tonal remedy that you put on the whole face. It is also desirable to powder a little. Next thing for the contour pencil for the lips. When choosing a color, stop at the same as lipstick. However, a good pencil and a darker tone. But not more. Pencil is especially useful for those girls who are not very happy with the shape of the lips - after all, it will help them to slightly adjust in the right direction. However, be very careful: after all, how easily you can correct all the shortcomings, so the slightest wrong movement can lead to the opposite result: the lip contour will be spoiled. After that, take a brush to apply lipstick and gently paint the outline. It is not desirable to do this simply with a tube of lipstick - for then the transition to the contour will be noticeable, which is not entirely aesthetic. If you are worried that the lipstick is too "eaten" too quickly - then use the following method: after applying lipstick - blot your lips with a tissue, removing its excess. And on top of the brush, apply the layer again. And if you think that the lipstick is too bright, then once again attach a napkin to your lips, then take the friable powder and powder the sponges from above. However, given the specificity of daytime make-up, probably, still an ideal variant of lip make-up will be shine, and not lipstick.
You can talk about make-up indefinitely: how many girls, as many options for applying cosmetics, as many reasons - so many opportunities to make your image unique, delightful, bright. Especially it concerns important, significant events and holidays. After all, at this time you want to stand out from the crowd and shine with beauty, catching the admiring glances of men and the envious glances of women.
With daytime make-up, we figured out: there's nothing there that could not be handled. However, the field for fantasy is much smaller. Whether it's evening makeup - absolutely spontaneous riot of colors and shades, sometimes the most incompatible, that give birth to the extravaganza of the holiday and reflect it in your eyes.
However, in this, at first glance, very positive element of evening make-up, in fact, there is a huge danger: after all, somewhere overdoing, you can seriously miss - and the make-up will turn out frankly defiant, vulgar, and even ridiculous - which is also possible. After all, you do not want to look ridiculous ?!
Then we will tell you a little about the small rules and secrets of evening make-up.
We will not go back to the question of what tools and cosmetics you will need in the process of creating your vivid image - all this has already been described in the topic of day makeup. The only difference is that now you need a more diverse color scheme, more shades of the same shade, lipstick ponasyschenney.
So, let's move from theory to practice: the next part of the article will be devoted to the technology of applying a festive and bright (or, as it is more often called, "evening") make-up.
Evening make-up: step one. The tone of the face.
Naturally, this stage can not be avoided in any kind of makeup. Even if you are only going to make up your eyelashes before you leave the house, you still have to look at your face beforehand, pick up the tonal remedy and remove all small skin imperfections, while also aligning the tone of the entire face.
Evening make-up is not something that is not just an exception - it just needs the most careful and painstaking attitude to the tone of the face, because, roughly speaking, it's the base for all make-up - the tone should be perfectly even and perfect. Therefore, the choice of the tone device itself must be approached with all the responsibility that is reputable in such cases. Remember one important rule: if the product really suits you, it will not be noticeable on the face: it will not leave any streaks or color transitions, it will not take up lumps and will not become visible in the pores, imitating the appearance of tired, mature skin.
As we noted earlier, evening make-up allows you a lot of liberties in your performance. This also applies to the choice of the mask tone. You can choose something lighter or, conversely, a little darker than your natural skin color. However, you should not rely solely on your taste - in many respects the choice of tone of tonal remedy should depend on where you are going. So, if you are going to a party to where there are many light sources - then stop by the dark means. And if you expect a pleasant half-light of a cinema or restaurant, then it's better to try to lighten up your face a little, so that it is not lost in a poorly lit room.
If you go where only your friends and acquaintances are among the invited, you can go for the courage: take the powder of golden color and refresh it with the tone of your face. You can believe, it will look really royally chic! However, still, perhaps, do not experiment with such bold and original color solutions: in certain cases, they may look ridiculous and inappropriate. By the way, about the golden tonal cream - he has one more positive ability: he can hide the curious eyes of the noticeable skin imperfections of his owner.
Evening make-up: step two. Ruddy cheekbones.
No, in the evening makeup without blush well can not do. If in the variant with the daylight you can avoid using them, justifying that they can give some unnaturalness to the image, then in this case they are just necessary! After all, in evening make-up there are no trifles, every line, every stroke of your image should be thought through to the smallest detail. And what, if not rouge, give the person a special liveliness, correct the shape and height of the cheekbones, leading the oval face to perfection?
Few people know that you need to choose blush, not based on your own considerations, but by betting on your hair color. For example, blondes in this plan is easier: they will suit any color, most importantly, that the blush is not defiantly bright. At brunettes the choice is a little bit more poor: here attention should be concentrated on three basic colors: brown, pink and peach. Naturally, you can choose almost any shade of these colors - all this is known by trial and error.
Red-haired girls can not boast of even such a permissible variety: it is better not to experiment specifically and choose a win-win option: a brownish blush. And they, like fire, should avoid pink tones.
In general, the rule of color matching is the same: the lighter your skin, the paler the rouge should be. And vice versa - the skin is swarthy, the more saturated the color should be.
Evening make-up: step three. Magic and magic of the eyes.
As you can see, the sequence of processes for all types of make-up is approximately the same - and this, undoubtedly, is good - helps not to get confused in this or that case. Therefore, it is not surprising that after applying the blush, the girl should begin to make up her eyes.
Perhaps we are mistaken, but it seems to us that nothing is more important and more difficult in evening make-up than the eyes. Of course, if they are the focus of your image. Eyes must attract and attract glances, drive mad, and be forever captivated! In this you can help shadows of all colors and shades, various eyeliner and mascara.
The choice of shadows, we suspect, will be very, very difficult. After all, at your disposal as many of their options: Do pearls - safely drop the applicator in a jar with pearly shadows. You want your eyelids to flicker faintly in the darkened hall where the event will take place - put shimmering shadows on your eyes. Colors should be as bright and saturated and deep as possible. And only in this case you really will be the goddess of the evening, the queen of the party and just the center of everyone's attention.
To the shadows, of course, must be attached and podvodka. Here, too, the choice is wide and it depends both on the general tonality of the make-up, and on the color solution of your costume and accessories. For example, you can easily pick up gray or brown, blue or beige pods - all this will be of use to you in case of proper use.
If you were careful, you probably already read earlier that in daytime make-up, make-up artists advise you to replace the liquid liner with soft pencil lines. But in the case of evening make-up, everything is exactly the opposite! Liquid podvodka will come in handy: it will give make-up eyes of piquancy and brightness, will prink common attention to these lakes of your soul. And she is much more resistant than a pencil. Only we want to make one remark: on the upper eyelid this cosmetic miracle looks simply gorgeous, but on the lower part at times it is vulgar and not very cute. Therefore, it is better to limit the line and the arrow from above, leaving the bottom in peace.
Now let's talk about eyelashes. It is difficult to overestimate their role in evening make-up. It itself is very rich, bright, catchy - and here simply short and rare cilia will be imperceptible. In principle, if you are the owner of just such cilia, - there's nothing wrong with that. Case reparable! You can fix the situation in two ways. The first is to buy a good mascara and work hard on what is given to you by nature. We think, four layers of carcass, superimposed carefully and carefully, will give eyelashes the necessary volume and length. Well, if all this did not bring the desired effect, then use an absolutely win-win option and build yourself cilia in the cabin. They will last for several weeks, and this will greatly simplify the process of applying makeup. Yes, and they look much prettier.
By the way, even this element of make-up can succumb to the most unexpected color reforms! Are you used to black mascara? Down with monotony! If the evening promises to be interesting and bright, then strive to be as unordinary! Are you going to dinner at a restaurant? Well, then, perhaps, you should not experiment with too extravagant colors: you can do with a dark gray, saturated brown or deep blue. But in the event that you are waiting for an explosive party or a ball-masquerade, then be bolder and resourceful! Green, lilac, bright pink or fluorescent eyelashes will look just amazing and very impressive! You will not lose your fortune and you'll feel like the queen of this costume ball all evening!
Now let's get down to the eyebrows. They in evening make-up simply can not be distinguished - otherwise they will look very pale against the background of all the riot of colors of other cosmetics. Therefore, take a pencil for your eyebrows (you can choose color either in natural tone or slightly darker) and hover the contour, dorisovyvaya where necessary, small strokes, imitating hairs. After all, and eyebrows should be just perfect in your evening image!
Evening make-up: step four. Captivating sponges.
To the make-up of the lips, usually all make-up artists proceed at the end. However, this does not mean that you should think about it even when everything else is done. Remember, we talked about two main accents of makeup: on the lips or on the eyes? First you need to choose: what exactly will you allocate today? If you have beautiful big eyes, then give them more attention to them, select them, make the eyes wide and bewitching! But if nature has endowed you with sensual, beautiful lips - then why not show this dignity in all its splendor? There is only one "but" - even if you doubt the choice of an accent, do not think about stopping at once for two, because it will look very vulgar, which does not fit in with the concept of "beautiful evening make-up".
So, the first thing you need is a lip pencil. Do not try to sharpen it as much as possible before using it - otherwise it will too sharply stand out on your lips. Let it be slightly blunted - then the contour will be soft and neat. Try not to go beyond the natural boundaries of the lips. The only exception is if you want to slightly tweak the outline. However, be careful: a single wrong move can reduce all your efforts to "no", and you will have to re-manage the pencil. After you have already drawn a pencil outline, lightly powder the sponge so that the lipstick is not washed off so quickly. And only after this procedure, which does not take you much time, you can start applying the lipstick itself.
The choice of color we give you and your taste preferences. There is only one unspoken rule: to make your lips seem sensual and seductive, you should use rich and vivid colors. You can take a bright red, saturated cherry or dark pink lipstick. You can choose it under the overall range of makeup or clothes or just under the mood. Just be extremely careful with red lipstick: it will suit only that girl who can boast of perfect clean skin. Therefore, even if a foundation to save you from minor "troubles" on your face - it is better to leave the dream of red color today and choose something less attractive. For example, take a tube of ripe cherry color - it will make your lips exciting and passionate!
Fashion trends in 2010 dictate our terms. And, according to these conditions, you simply must have in the cosmetic bag a lipstick of a purple scale. Whether it's a gentle lilac or a rich and deep purple color - it does not matter. The main thing is the availability and reasons for use.
But surely among the readers of this article there are those who do not like lipstick bright colors on their lips, preferring something more tender and pastel. This absolutely does not mean that you have to sacrifice your preferences and through "I can not" paint your lips with lipstick. You can do without your favorite shades. This does not in the least interfere with the general image, moreover, a well-chosen tone of lipstick will only brighten you! And if you apply a little sparkling and shimmering luster to the top - you will be simply irresistible!
