A woman can only sometimes afford herselfspend 2-3 hours applying makeup. Most often, "beauty is applied" in a few minutes before leaving the house. But at the same time, you still want to look good, so the makeup artist's advice on makeup principles will not be superfluous and will allow you to easily achieve the effect of professional makeup. So, depending on the time spent on makeup and the number of cosmetics used in the process, any makeup can be divided into simple and complex. Simple makeup includes daytime and business makeup, as well as light evening makeup, which does not include any additional art elements and age-related makeup. Complex makeup is a process that already requires a certain skill and dexterity. It can even include face art and makeup.

What do you need for professional makeup?

First of all, to make perfect makeup,you need to buy quality cosmetics and tools. After all, if you use cheap products, you will never achieve the effect of makeup done by a professional. Eyeshadow will be spotty, bad mascara will crumble, and lipstick will wear off an hour after application. Now the choice of brushes and cosmetics is so great that choosing what you need is not a big problem. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to buy products from expensive brand manufacturers that are used by makeup artists of movie and pop stars. It will be enough to choose a good palette of eyeshadows, blush, several color correctors, a couple of shades of powder, foundation, lip and eye pencils, mascara and long-lasting lipstick. This is quite enough to make neat and even makeup for any occasion.

Why make professional makeup?

It would seem that this is not a very appropriate question, because everythingand so it is clear - makeup is done to be beautiful! But in fact, everything is a little more complicated. Of course, when a woman puts on makeup, she tries to disguise some minor flaws, make her eyes more expressive, and her lips more appetizing. But professional makeup performs several more functions that depend on the situation for which it is done. With the help of complex makeup, you can not only make your eyes more expressive or your complexion healthier, but also correct the shape of your face, hide flaws, and emphasize your advantages. For example, if you are going to take part in a professional photo shoot, then makeup should be applied taking into account the lighting, the properties of the camera to emphasize the flaws of your appearance, etc. Doing high-quality makeup is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. But if you are used to getting by with eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss, then you will have to study a little and improve your skills, since makeup at a professional level also implies evening out the tone, modeling the oval of the face and much more. We will talk about this in more detail.

Perfect skin color

The first step in makeup can be considered preparation.face. This includes preliminary skin cleansing, applying a makeup base, foundation, and correctors. First of all, you need to remove any remaining makeup from your face, as well as small particles of dust, grease, and sweat. The skin must be perfectly clean, otherwise the makeup will look sloppy. After the skin is prepared, a makeup base is applied to it. This can be a special base cream or just a good moisturizing day cream. It smooths the skin, makes the complexion more even and allows you to evenly distribute corrective products and foundation over the skin. Correctors should be applied pointwise - only to the places where there are imperfections. This can be done with a brush or with your fingers. The movements should be light, trampling. In no case should you try to rub the product in, otherwise it will be useless and all the imperfections will remain visible. It is important to know what color of corrector to choose. Green corrector masks redness, yellow - bags under the eyes, and light beige will hide small age spots. Now that the imperfections are hidden, you can apply foundation. It is important that it matches your natural skin tone, otherwise you will get a mask instead of a perfect face. The most convenient way to spread foundation over the skin is with a sponge. It is important not to stretch the skin or smear the previously applied corrective product. Don't forget about the neck and décolleté area. Run the sponge with foundation over the ears and behind them, this will allow you to apply the tone evenly, without clear boundaries.

Once the face is prepared, attention is paid toattention to eyebrows and eyes. The eyebrow line can be corrected with a special pencil, the color of which should be chosen carefully so that the eyebrow looks natural. There is one small "star" secret. To make the look very expressive, you need to draw a 5 mm line above the eyebrow with a light corrector, and "press" it with your finger (not shading it too much, but so that it is not noticeable). No pearlescent shadows will give such an effect as this method. To make the eyes in photographs shimmer and seem mysterious, it is worth conjuring with shadows. The technique of their application changes in accordance with fashion, the situation, the character of the woman. But there are several general rules:

• Use pearl highlight in the center of the rolling eyelid to give the eyes volume;
• Work well on the upper ciliary edgesubmarine pencil, so that the line was thin, but without omissions. To do this, lightly pull the skin up and, as it were, open the eye slightly. This will create the illusion of thick eyelashes;
• Well shade the boundaries of the shadows. Remember, even if you use 3-4 colors, the border should not be visible;
• Apply the eyeliner and make arrows better after you have applied shadows. So the line will be clearer and more expressive;
• With a white pencil, make eyeliner extensions of the lower eyelid. This will make the eyes visually more open
• Before applying mascara, slightly lighten eyelashes with a special tool. Drawing cilia, focus on the outer corners of the eyes. You can also add a few tufts of eyelashes.

Appetizing and seductive lips

To make your lips beautiful,you need to clean them well. It is best to rub your lips with a soft brush and apply a moisturizing balm to them beforehand when you apply foundation or do eye makeup. The time while you work with your eyes will be enough for your lips to become soft and smooth. Just like with eye makeup, you need to know a few little tricks:

• To make the lipstick look brighter and last longer, it is necessary to work with a pencil not only the contour, but the entire surface of the lips;
• If you have asymmetric lips or you just want to give them volume, draw the contour 1-2 mm behind the natural line. If, on the contrary, you want to reduce them, then make a contour, stepping back inside 1mm;
• In order that the lipstick does not spread, and do not have to constantly tint, apply a few layers. Before applying a new layer of lipstick, powder the previous through a cosmetic napkin;
• Using a light corrector or pencildraw a so-called smile line. It is a short line 5-7 mm right under the contour of the lower lip from the corner to the center. The line should not be too clear. As in the case of the line above the eyebrows, it should be slightly "pressed".

Powder and blush – the final touches

Once everything is done, you need to secure yourMakeup. To do this, apply a thin layer of loose powder with a brush. Compact powder and a sponge will not allow you to make this layer invisible. And the skin needs oxygen, so it is better not to overdo it with the amount of powder. Blush is applied after you have finished your eye and lip makeup. The places of their application can be different. For example, a young round-faced girl can slightly "reduce" her cheeks by emphasizing the cheekbones with blush. An older woman can rejuvenate and enliven her face if blush is applied to the protruding parts of the face. To better understand where to apply blush, smile slightly at yourself in the mirror. As a rule, a protruding line is immediately noticeable, which will allow you to make the blush natural. These are such simple secrets that will help you do your makeup no worse than in a beauty salon with a professional makeup artist. But remember that nothing is done perfectly the first time. So do not be upset and continue to practice and learn. The main thing is to believe in yourself and strive for results! We recommend reading:
