Naturally, you have a question: "Where to start the transformation?" Let's try to figure it out, and step by step we will come to a stunning final result.
Correct daily care is the main component of beauty
Contrary to all expectations, the basis for profmakeup is not a jar of super-effective wrinkle-smoothing cream, but proper daily facial care. Care can be expensive or cheap, the main thing is that it really suits you and works. Here are a few simple but important rules that you should learn and apply every day:
- Determine the type of your skin;
- If the skin is combined or oily, before and after it, wash with special equipment;
- For dry skin, buy nourishing milk or lotion. Wipe them face instead of washing, as ordinary water further dries and irritates the skin;
- Be sure to use creams (day and night). The main thing to remember is that you need to apply day cream half an hour before going outside. Night cream - half an hour before going to bed.
Preparing for make-up
Is a base necessary?Makeup base is a product that has appeared on the shelves of cosmetic stores quite recently. It allows cosmetics to stay on the face for a day or more. Makeup does not “run down”, does not smear and looks fresh for quite a long time. For special occasions, such as a photo shoot, wedding, important business meeting - the base will be irreplaceable. If you are just going for a walk or a meeting with friends, then you can do without it. Correcting imperfections and evening out the complexion You should start with the skin around the eyes. Look carefully in the mirror. Are there dark circles under your eyes from fatigue? Then, choose a yellowish shade of foundation. If you have naturally thin skin, and veins are visible around your eyes, then the tone should have a pink tint. Remember one rule: the foundation is selected 1-2 tones lighter than the skin. After application, the cream reacts with the skin composition and changes its color to a darker one. In just 2-3 hours, these changes will be noticeable, and you will get an unnaturally dark complexion. Professional makeup applied at home cannot do without solid correctors. What effect do they give? Here are some examples:
- Light corrector is used to visually reduce wrinkles. Apply a small amount of the product to the desired area of skin and carefully blend - the wrinkle will "hide" under it;
- To make your look more expressive and "open", treat the light corrector under the eyebrows and rub with your fingers;
- The dark corrector hides the flaws and removes unnecessary volume. For example, it is used to give the desired shape to the nose (thickness, length), as well as to correct small defects: acne, scars.
The main part of makeup is the eyes

So, what's next? And then get out all your pencils, shadows and mascara. Let's work with the eyes. Here everything depends on the purpose of the makeup. If it is everyday - choose light matte shadows of a milky or peach shade. You need to apply shadows to the entire eyelid in order to achieve complete alignment and correction of the skin.
