Proper skin care and preparation for makeup are no less important. In addition, you should choose cosmetics that suit you, preferably professional. Makeup tools do not necessarily have to include the entire list of a professional, but you should have the most basic set of brushes and applicators. And a sequential listing of all the stages of the process will tell you how to do your own makeup correctly.
Skin Preparation
Any cosmetic products must be appliedfor healthy and clean skin. In order for makeup to go on smoothly, beautifully and last a long time, the skin must be prepared in advance. Cleansing The first step in preparing the skin is to thoroughly cleanse it. To do this, use a cleansing gel, you can even take a soft scrub or peeling. The skin must be moistened with water, apply the scrub, massage in circular motions and rinse well with warm water. Avoid aggressive scrubs so as not to injure the skin, do not make too intense movements so as not to allow the skin to turn red. Pat your face dry with a towel. Toning After washing with tap water, which will undoubtedly be harsh on the skin, it will need toning. Wipe the skin with a toner or lotion, choose a product depending on your skin type. This step will eliminate dryness and tightness, remove excess sebum, prepare the skin for applying cream. Moisturizing Apply a light-textured moisturizer to the skin, do not use a greasy nourishing product before makeup. Allow the cream to be fully absorbed. If the skin is too dry, apply a generous layer of cream. Once the required amount of moisturizer has been absorbed, the remainder can be removed with a cotton pad.
Complexion
Not every one of us can boast of an idealcomplexion. To make it so, we will come to the aid of various toning agents. The application of foundation creams will be the basis of the entire makeup, a kind of artist's canvas on which we will later "draw" the eyes and lips. Makeup base The base or foundation for makeup is a silicone-based cream that evens out the surface and relief of the skin, hides imperfections, provides ideal "adhesion" of the entire makeup to the skin and, accordingly, its durability. The base can be without pigment, transparent, or have it. Then you need to choose a base according to the color of your skin, also in harmony with the color of the foundation. Corrector and concealer Corrector is designed to hide minor imperfections - pimples, age spots, and concealer - to lighten dark circles under the eyes. Corrector is usually white, or greenish to hide redness. And concealer can have both yellow and pink colors in the set. It is best to apply corrector and concealer with a thin soft brush or fingers. Foundation After applying the base and concealing imperfections, apply foundation. It should match your skin tone perfectly. Foundation should also be applied to the neck and décolleté area so that your face does not look like a mask. There are special sponges for applying foundation, but the last piece of advice from professional makeup artists is to apply it to the skin with slightly damp fingers; body heat will allow the cream to be distributed well and evenly over the face. Let the foundation soak in well and adapt to the skin – about 10-15 minutes. Powder Apply loose powder that matches your skin tone and the color of the foundation. Compact pressed powder lays down more densely, it is more suitable for emergency cases to correct the finished makeup. Loose powder will lay down in a lighter and more invisible layer, will not weigh down the skin, but will give it a sufficient matte finish. Powder should be applied with a large, voluminous brush made of natural bristles. Go over your forehead, nose, and chin especially carefully. You should move the brush over your cheeks from top to bottom, as if shaking the powder off your face.
Eye Makeup
Eye makeup is done especially carefully andtakes a lot of time. Regardless of what you focus on - your eyes or your lips, eye makeup plays an important role in the entire makeup process. Eyebrows First of all, you need to emphasize your eyebrows. Of course, it is best to give them the necessary shape by correction beforehand. But you should not do the correction immediately before applying makeup, as the sensitive skin of the eyelids can turn red and swell. If your eyebrows are dark and thick, then it will be enough to comb them with a comb or brush and lay them with a special gel. But thin and light eyebrows should be emphasized with an eyebrow pencil, imitating hairs with strokes. Professional makeup artists advise lining the eyebrows with shadows, this will create a background and will not be too intrusive. Shadows Shadows should be chosen according to the type of makeup - daytime or evening, eye or hair color, color of clothes, style and image in general. Gray and blue-eyed women will suit cold shades, while green and brown-eyed women will suit warm shades. It is worth taking several shades of the same color - from light to darker, you can also use contrasting colors. Light shadows are applied as a base to the entire eyelid, and dark ones emphasize the outer corner of the eye and the lower eyelid. Light pearlescent shadows can also be applied under the eyebrow itself, this will add shine to the look. You should not use creamy shadows, they tend to roll, it is better to choose high-quality dry shadows. Pencil and eyeliner Pencil and eyeliner are used to give the look even more expressiveness. They are most appropriate in evening makeup, especially their black color. It is good to draw arrows on the outer corner of the eye and on the lower eyelid with a pencil, which are then shaded using dark shadows and a brush. This way, the effect of smoky makeup is achieved - "smoky eyes". But eyeliner is used in the fashionable retro makeup - it is used to draw a long-lasting bright arrow along the lash line along the entire upper eyelid, stretching the corner of the eye to the eyebrow. The pencil and eyeliner can be used in various colors that match the color of the shadows. There are even special holiday options with glitter and a shining effect. Mascara It would seem that there is nothing easier than applying mascara to the eyelashes. However, there are some nuances here too. The variety of mascara brushes - a classic brush or a rubber comb - offers you to choose the most suitable one. But mascara must be applied in a special way. If the eyelashes are not strongly curved, you can curl them with special tweezers. Mascara must be applied in several layers, allowing each previous layer to dry well. Do not overdo it so that the eyelashes do not stick together, it is better to comb them with a dry comb or brush. Multiple layers of mascara can cause flaking, so don't apply more than three.
Lip Makeup
For lip makeup, especially for the evening version,should be treated no less responsibly than with eye makeup. Before applying lipstick, lips need to be prepared. Nourishing the skin of the lips No lipstick, even the best quality and best, will look good on lips if they are dry and cracked. It would be good, even when preparing the skin for makeup, to do a gentle peeling for the lips. For this, you can use sugar or coffee grounds. The main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to injure the delicate and thin skin of the lips. After this, apply a nourishing balm to your lips and let it soften your lips well, soak in a little. Contour pencil When applying foundation to your face, you should also apply it to your lips in a light layer. This will give them colorlessness, so the lipstick you choose will show its true shade on your lips. Use a lip liner that matches the color of the chosen lipstick, or is a tone darker. Outline the contour with a pencil, starting from the middle of the upper lip and moving to the outer corners. Underline the lower lip with a movement from left to right. Lipstick Lipstick should be applied with a special brush, this will give durability and evenness to the coating. Apply a thin layer of lipstick, let it soak in a little, lightly blot your lips with a thin napkin, and powder a little. Then apply a second, more saturated layer of lipstick. Move the brush from the center to the corners of the lips, evenly distributing the pigment and not going beyond the contour outlined by the pencil. The technique with powder and a napkin will make the lip makeup much more durable. Lip gloss Lip gloss can give lips additional volume, a seductive shine, and the effect of sexy wet lips. For daytime makeup, lip gloss can be applied to the lips without using lipstick. But in evening makeup, gloss applied to the middle of the lower lip over the main lipstick will give it volume and plumpness. For festive makeup, there are also glosses with fine sparkles, sparkling pigment, and pearlescent in various colors.
Blush and bronzing powder
The last step in makeup is applying blush.Without them, the makeup will look like it was painted on a canvas; they add liveliness and completeness to the face. Blush Blush is usually applied to the cheeks, highlighting the cheekbones. However, if used correctly, it can even correct the shape of the face. Blush should never lie on the skin as a spot. Use a wide, voluminous brush to apply it and blend it well. To begin with, you should take a little blush on the brush so as not to overdo it, and if this is not enough, you can add color. Blush of a natural peach shade is suitable for any skin color, but you can also use pink and terracotta. Bronze powder Bronzant or powder with light-reflecting particles, golden or bronze shade, can give the skin the effect of radiance and glow. This powder is good for emphasizing the cheekbones, apply a little on the upper eyelid under the eyebrow or on the chin. This way you will reproduce the effect of a sun tan. Very often, this powder is mixed with blush or applied instead of it. At the very end, it is worth once again lightly going over the face with a brush with matting powder to brush off the remains of shadows from the skin or to reduce the intensity of the color of blush and bronze powder, to remove excess shine. Do not forget about the neck and décolleté area, and if you have a hairstyle with hair raised up, it is worth touching the ears with the brush as well. This technique will give the skin of the body a velvety feel and even out its color with the color of the face. Your flawless makeup is ready!
