What any self-respecting woman can't do withoutwoman? That's right, without spectacular makeup. But not every one of us is able to apply it correctly, favorably emphasizing the advantages and hiding the disadvantages. And unimaginable funds are spent on all sorts of shadows-powders-lipsticks, and all this wealth is applied to the face with a generous, unwavering hand. And here comes another "victim of cosmetics" down the street - so unbearably beautiful, so smart and self-confident that, according to the laws of the movie genre, the male sex is simply obliged to fall at her feet and stack themselves in piles. But instead of admiration, people ask themselves: why did she do it, why did she put on such makeup? Makeup mistakes are what can reduce to zero absolutely all efforts to look "one hundred percent". No matter how stylish and fashionable we are, a face spoiled by the wrong makeup will ruin the whole impression. It is not without reason that applying makeup is considered akin to art; stylists and makeup artists spend years studying the intricacies of their profession. But you don’t have to be a professional to know how to properly apply eye makeup, how to properly paint eyebrows and apply blush. Sometimes it is enough to simply avoid the most common mistakes in applying makeup, learn simple rules and understand what will suit you.
Face cream and powder
You want to see what’s under the mask, but – alas…One of the most typical makeup mistakes is a thick layer of makeup in the form of foundation or powder. There is nothing surprising in this: this is how girls try to mask absolutely all the defects of their skin, even those that they themselves have invented. Thanks to such a love for applying all the cosmetics available at home, a stable expression "a kilogram of plaster on the face" has appeared. And if we do not want someone to think of attributing this phrase to us, we urgently learn moderation and common sense in the process of using cosmetic miracle products. Foundation and powder were invented to even out the color of our face, and not at all to create the effect of unnatural whiteness, or, on the contrary, swarthiness of the skin. And therefore, when choosing the above-mentioned products, do not make a mistake with the tone, if you do not want to get a "mask" line along the contour of the oval of the face. Believe me, even if at home in front of the mirror the difference in the color of your face and the rest of your skin is not particularly noticeable, then on the street, in daylight, you will look ridiculous and funny. If you have difficulty choosing the color of powder, try this trick: touch it with your finger and touch your forehead. If the dot becomes invisible, buy it without hesitation.
Blush
Are you a fan of red cheeks and bright blush?You don’t have time to run to the store for a new portion of blush to cover your cheekbones, cheeks and (oh, horror!) the skin around your ears? Congratulations, you are clearly a contender for the title of “Matryoshka of the Year”. Unfortunately, red-cheeked beauties are not in trend now, and therefore you need to learn how to use your favorite blush correctly. And you shouldn’t draw strange stripes with blush across your cheekbones at all, because stripes are great for a zebra, but not for you. Find the right line of your cheekbones, and then you will not only emphasize the contour of your face, but also add warmth and natural beauty to your skin. If you have problems defining this line, we will help you learn how to do it quickly and easily:
- Go to the mirror and smile broadly. Your cheeks are rounded - find the highest point of roundness, touch it with your index finger.
- With your thumb, touch the top of your ear, pull up your index finger: you just got your personal line of cheekbones!
Lipstick
For some reason, most women are sure thatBright red lipstick applied to the lips in several layers is simply the height of beauty and sexuality. Having watched erotic melodramas and spreads in glossy magazines, such ladies are even ready to sleep with luscious red lips (you never know how things will turn out at night?!). But these fatal beauties did not think about one thing: the image of a vamp woman, so widely used in the fashion industry and cinema, in everyday life can look stupid and inappropriate. No one argues that red lipstick is sexy, but if you are sure that men are unable to resist a woman with blood-red lips, then you are deeply mistaken. Here are the most popular statements from men on various forums on this subject:
- Few of the women are wearing red lipstick. Much more often you can see girls who look vulgar and ridiculous with bright red lips.
- And you tried to kiss a girl whose lipssmeared with a thick layer of red lipstick? And do not try, the test is not a pleasant one: not only will you have to eat a pound of lipstick during a kiss, so then you will long cleanse your face.
Of course, red lipstick is a classic,however, you need to know how to use it. Carelessly applied thick layer of bright lipstick is the most common mistake in makeup. Do not overdo it with the amount of lipstick and do not enlarge the lip contour excessively - otherwise, instead of a sexy seductress, you will turn into a vulgar person showing signs of aging. In the end, there are many shades of red lipstick: bright red suits some, purple suits others, and soft scarlet lipstick suits others. Find your color - this way you will definitely avoid the possibility of looking like a "painted doll".
Eyes
Many girls know very well how to do ittheir eyes expressive and sexy. First of all, it is the magical effect of "smoky eyes", like Angelina Jolie, then - arrows on the eyes, like Brigitte Bardot, and, finally, false eyelashes, like Lady Gaga. But since they are not able to stop their choice on only one of these tricks, then with enviable enthusiasm they apply all of the above to their eyes. What do we have at the end? A kind of Bardot-Jolie-Gaga, or, more simply, a panda with eyes painted to smithereens. Moreover, such makeup mistakes are encountered all the time. And no matter how much the owner of "enchanting eyes" likes herself at this moment, she will make a repulsive impression on others. Of course, if you belong to the emo or goth subcultures, then such makeup will fit into the concept well, but if all these efforts are just for the sake of beauty, then you have clearly miscalculated. Even if you are a real master and have done a complex smoky eye and thin arrows perfectly (and it is not easy!), you will look simply vulgar and tasteless. And otherwise, also sloppy. To avoid this, remember the basic rules of eye makeup:
- a combination of the color of the shadows and the color of the eyes;
- obligatory feathering of borders between shadows of various shades;
- neat arrows;
- fluffy, and not stuck together from the carcass eyelashes;
- moderation of colors for daytime make-up and "competent" brightness for the evening.
Brows
"Mom, cover her eyebrows!"- these are the words that Marfushenka-soul shouted to her mother in the fairy tale film "Morozko", demanding that Nastenka's beautiful, natural eyebrows be immediately covered up. Oddly enough, the children's fairy tale failed to explain to many that abundant cosmetics on the eyebrows are not good. After all, even the most sophisticated makeup can be ruined by just incorrectly drawn eyebrows. Naturalness and naturalness are always in fashion, and therefore do not try to shape your eyebrows with a bright pencil, and even with a solid line. It is best to use special eyebrow shadows, with them the makeup will be so natural that no one will even guess about some kind of shape correction. If you prefer a pencil, then choose a tone close to the color of your hair: too light will look unnatural, and dark will make you look older. And also try to draw your eyebrows with strokes, so they will look much more natural. And, of course, you need to outline well-shaped, plucked eyebrows. Drawing something on thick, overgrown and unkempt eyebrows is the same as trying on the image of General Secretary Brezhnev. So why is makeup so important for any woman? Of course, because it helps to become sexier and more beautiful. But mistakes in makeup can ruin absolutely the entire impression! Try, experiment, take into account other people's mistakes. The main thing is that when looking at you, no one would think: why did she do this? We recommend reading:
