Perhaps every woman wants to bebeautiful... very beautiful... no, the most beautiful in the world. Nature has given more to some, less to others. What can you do? We have no power over this. But it is quite possible to correct its omissions. Fortunately, the times have passed when women had only antimony and whitewash in their arsenal. Oh, yes... and beets! Did you know that it was with its help that our great-great-grandmothers applied the charming blush that many poets have praised? It's good that we live in a different time, right? Modern women have decorative cosmetics of a completely different level at their disposal. Special studies are conducted for us, huge companies work for us. Chemists, biologists, technologists, dermatologists - a lot of people are engaged in helping us to be the most beautiful and desirable. And we just have to learn how to apply makeup correctly. In fact, it is not difficult at all. Shall we try?
Important rules
Proper makeup is an art. And art, as we know, has its own laws. How to apply makeup neatly and beautifully? Let's figure it out.
- In order to make the makeup better on the skin, before applying it you need to thoroughly moisturize your face. Use your usual day cream for this.
- Before you begin the process, wipe the mirror thoroughly.Make sure there is enough light in the room. It is recommended to apply everyday makeup in natural light. Otherwise, you may simply not see small flaws - for example, crumbling mascara or poorly applied foundation.
- If you want mascara to look beautiful, do not use it for more than three months from the time you open it. The old mascara lay down on the eyes with lumps and quickly crumbles.
- To make the eyes expressive,it is necessary to paint the roots of the eyelashes - just gently run the brush over them from left to right. Only after this can you proceed to the usual coloring procedure. The technique is simple - the mascara is applied along the entire length with uniform rotational movements.
- You should be extremely careful when using eyeliner - too thick, bright lines tend to look vulgar.
- Proper makeup implies, first of all,turn, a reasonable approach to choosing foundation. Here you should focus on the type and shade of your skin. For oily skin, liquid powder is considered the best option - it evens out all the irregularities and gives the face a matte shade. Owners of dry skin should pay attention to foundation with a moisturizing effect. For problem skin, compact powder is ideal.
- The tone of the base and the powder should match the shade of your skin.
- The color of the blush should be just a little darker than the natural shade of your skin. Otherwise, you risk becoming similar to a Russian doll-nesting doll.
- Blush, however, like shadows, should always be thoroughly shaded.
Well, that's it. We've figured out how to apply makeup correctly - or rather, the basic laws. Now let's look at everything in detail, step by step.
We lay the foundation
The base helps to smooth out all the rough edges.— fine wrinkles, age spots or freckles. It will make your skin smooth and matte. When choosing a cosmetic product for normal skin, it is recommended to give preference not to foundation, — it is still a little “heavy” — but to a liquid base with a rich color. It lies in a thin layer, while perfectly moisturizing the skin. The makeup will turn out natural and will look beautiful and natural. How to apply liquid foundation? The technique is quite simple, and the “tool” is always with you - these are your fingers! They perfectly feel the required amount of product. Therefore, the composition will lie evenly and will be completely invisible. Drop a little on the back of your hand. Carefully, with two fingers, pat the foundation into the skin of the face. You need to start applying from the forehead, gradually moving towards the chin. If you still decide to choose foundation as a base, then you should apply it not with your fingers, but with a sponge. To make the layer thinner, the sponge should be slightly moistened. Then apply a little cream to it and gently pat it onto your face. Want the tone to look even more natural? Then rinse the sponge thoroughly and gently pat your face. Redness and pigmentation spots can be masked by using a darker tone. Do not apply the foundation to the skin around the eyes - a lightening cream is better suited for this. And applying makeup in two layers - this is too much.
Apply the clarifier
If working with the base is a processis absolutely not creative, then applying a lightener is akin to art. Proper makeup without it is simply impossible. With the help of this miracle product, you can hide even significant wrinkles on the forehead and around the nose, change the size of the eyes and remove circles under them, eliminate wrinkles near the lips, visually lengthen the face - in general, do almost anything. Perhaps the most convenient means for application are cream lipstick or a mechanical pencil. Liquid lightener is not suitable for masking strong defects. In addition, it is suitable only for dry and mature skin. According to the rules of applying makeup, the lightener should be two tones lighter than the base. And you need to apply it on top of the foundation - otherwise it will quickly rub off. It is usually applied with your fingers, and driven into the skin in the same way as the base - with a sponge. To prevent the product from accumulating in the fine wrinkles around the eyes, you can mix it with cream. Try not to use matte highlighters - they look unnatural and harsh. When using the product in the eye area, try not to get close to the edge of the eyelashes. Otherwise, they will simply stick together.
We apply powder
To make the foundation last longer on your faceIt needs to be fixed with powder. The main rule when choosing powder is that it should exactly match your complexion. If your skin is reddish or, on the contrary, too pale, you should choose a transparent powder. When applying powder, professionals recommend using a damp sponge. Spread a napkin and sprinkle some powder on it. Lightly wet the sponge and powder your entire face. Got spots? No problem. Just keep patting the sponge. Very soon the powder will become invisible, and your skin will acquire a peach shade. This makeup will easily survive many hours of testing.
Apply the blush
Apply blush only to cover uppaleness and “draw” rosy cheeks - means not using all the possibilities of this type of decorative cosmetics. With the help of blush, you can change the shape of the face - for example, make it more “cheekboned”, full or, conversely, thin. The color of the blush should match the tone of the lipstick. And it is easier and best to apply it with a brush. Just do not take the same wide one as for powder. The brush for blush should be much thinner - this is, in fact, jewelry work! The movements are smooth, circular. After you have applied the blush to the cheeks - run the brush over the forehead. The remaining amount is quite enough to shade it. If you want the cheeks to look natural - just powder them a little. Did it work?
We paint lips
The main trend of the season is naturalness andnaturalness. Therefore, the main task is simply to favorably emphasize, and if necessary, slightly correct the natural curve of your lips. How to do it? Yes, it's very simple! In order to correct the shape, apply a lightener to the edges of the lips - it will mask all the imperfections. Take a sharp pencil and carefully, from one corner of the lips to the other, draw a line. Powder the contour a little. For this, you can use a cotton pad - just wrap your finger in it. It is most convenient to apply lipstick with a rounded brush - this way the contour will be much more clearly visible. However, there is another option. For a more durable makeup, it is correct to completely paint the lips with a pencil, and then apply lipstick. If the skin on the lips is not too dry, then you can use a special powder. It should be applied 10 - 12 minutes after the lipstick. However, you shouldn’t get carried away with this product – it doesn’t contain any moisturizing or nourishing substances.
Beautiful eyes
Perhaps nothing emphasizes this more thanindividuality, like eyes. They are what make the face expressive. It is not for nothing that they are called "the mirror of the soul". How to choose a worthy "frame" for your "mirror" - how to apply eye makeup correctly? In order for cosmetics to look advantageous, it is necessary to take into account a lot of nuances. After all, we are all different, each has its own characteristics. And therefore, the application technique will also be different. Let's consider how to emphasize your natural beauty with the help of simple means - shadows, mascara and eyeliner.
- Makeup for small eyes In order toIt doesn’t take much effort to visually enlarge eyes that aren’t too large by nature. Take light shadows and carefully apply them, starting from the eyelashes and up to the eyebrows. Apply shadows of a darker color to the crease of the upper eyelid. Take a sharply sharpened eye pencil and draw a thin line. Start it from about the middle of the upper eyelid and extend it to the outer corner of the eye. Try to make it as close to the roots of the eyelashes as possible. Apply light shadows to the area under the eyebrows. Draw a white pencil along the inner part of the lower eyelid - this will make your look as open as possible. Always carefully and thoroughly monitor your eyebrows and, if necessary, promptly correct their arch. Your eyebrows should be thin enough, as this visually enlarges the eyes and makes the look expressive.
- Makeup for Wide-Set Eyes Applybase shadows from the lash line to the eyebrows. It is better to take medium - not too light, but not too dark - shades. Do not forget to shade. Take dark shadows and apply them to the inner corner of the eye - from the roots of the eyelashes to the bone. Shade about 1/3 of the upper eyelid. Highlight the remaining 2/3 of the eyelid again with light-colored shadows. Apply mascara. Pay special attention to the eyelashes located in the center - it is on them that you need to apply the maximum amount of mascara - this will visually bring the eyes closer together.
- Makeup for deep set eyes Applybase shadows on the area from the crease of the upper eyelid to the eyebrows. Apply light shadows to the movable part of the upper eyelid. Use dark shadows on the outer corner of the eyes. Slightly darken the area under the eyebrows. If you use eyeliner or eye pencil, all lines should be as thin as possible, and they should be drawn as close to the eyelashes as possible. Always choose mascara that adds extra volume - this will help "pull out" even the deepest-set eyes.
- Makeup for Close-Set Eyes Takepencil and draw a line along the contour of the upper eyelid eyelashes, extending it beyond the eye. The line should visually continue the contour. Carefully shade it on the outer corners - it should not be clear. Apply light shadows to the middle and inner part of the movable eyelid. Apply dark shadows to the outer side of the eyelid - closer to the temples. Apply mascara, stretching the eyelashes to the temples, from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corners of the eyes. Paint the eyelashes located closer to the nose very lightly. Apply a light highlight under the eyebrow.
