To admit that you don’t know how to make up is tantamount to admitting your own incompetence. It is much calmer to tell everyone that you are a supporter of the natural onion, without even blinking with an unpainted eye. However, there are times in the life of each of us when this convenient excuse does not work and awkward, rude or inappropriate makeup betrays your inexperience or inexperience. But in order to shine at full power, you just need to repeat the basics of the make-up and practice a little. At the stage of professional retraining, while you do not feel very confident, it is better to give preference to the most neutral shades. This way there will be less chance that you will make a mistake. Do not forget that color accents can add both tenderness and naivety, as well as vulgarity and vulgarity. And let the angel and the little devil get along well in you, before you put on a war paint, it’s better to practice on a pastel scale.
Basic coverage
To begin with, it is important to properly prepare the skin so that the makeup lasts longer, and the applied contours do not blur. Today, primers solve this problem. But the first step is skin care.
After morning washing, you wipe your face with a moisturizing tonic, then immediately apply the serum to the still wet skin, and after 15-20 minutes add a primer on top. The cream after the serum can not be used if there is no desire to oversaturate the skin before makeup, since the primer can serve as a kind of analogue of the cream.
Primers come in several types and purposes: colorless, tint, caring, nourishing, sunscreen, and so on. Their task is to improve the condition of any type of skin in a matter of minutes before starting makeup and keep the paints in place. Polymers, including silicones, cope with the latter task. They provide hours-long resistance to makeup, allow you to improve the texture of the skin, facilitate the application of other products and ensure their uniform distribution over the surface of the face.
Burning eyes
Eyelids should be summed up before applying mascara. It can be done using shadows and a brush, a pencil with or without shading, using dry eyeliner in a wet or dry way, but the easiest option is to choose a marker eyeliner similar to a felt—tip pen, or a liquid liner liner.
The right tone
Important: the choice of foundation does not always depend on the type of skin. The main thing is the condition of the skin and the desired effect of the coating, masking properties, texture of the product, ease of application, durability of the texture. With the right choice of a primer or several primers, you can improve any skin condition with any type and use any foundation.
Few people know how to correctly determine their skin type, and even fewer people are able to assess the condition of the skin (dehydrated, cupirosis, inflammation and other problematic skin, age, etc.). Makeup is a puzzle where it is important to understand where the shine comes from, how quickly it appears and whether it is worth fighting with it, because sebum secretion — this is a natural function of the skin, as well as this integral phase in combination with sweat forms a hydrolipid barrier on the surface of the skin (in advertising it is called pH balance).
The skin is characterized by the presence of a light shine, this is normal and correct, excessive struggle with it can also lead to dehydration, and the skin of any type will behave the same way, trying to regenerate, will begin to secrete more sebum and at the same time actively peel off. If we start from the prevailing preferences and prejudices that shine is evil, owners of oily skin type will always choose a foundation with a matte and / or matting effect, although sometimes it is enough to choose a product with a powdery finish and a matting primer.
Eyebrows
The most difficult task is to bring the eyebrows into a decent condition. If they live their own and very violent life, add styling gel to the tweezers as soon as possible. Fixing agents are sold in the same bottles as mascara, and are equipped with a convenient applicator-brush.
If artistic drawing is required, try several techniques to choose the most suitable one. Eyebrows can be drawn with a pencil, liquid eyeliner or shadows. All these tools can be used both independently and in combination with each other. To begin with, you can master the classic schemes: gel + pencil; pencil + eyeliner; shadow palette + eyeliner + gel.
Always start tinting your eyebrows from the bend point and remember that this is where the darkest area should be. Then shade the tail of the eyebrow, trying not to round it down, otherwise you will add extra volume to the face and give the whole physiognomy a comical look.
If you have oily skin, give preference to eyeliner products based on hard waxes. At the very end, make out the base of the eyebrows. A liquid eyeliner with a high-precision applicator or a waterproof corrector will help to draw individual hairs. If there are no eyebrows at all, it is better to immediately switch to cream shadows.
Blush can behave treacherously, so choose the shade carefully. Pinkish, peach and coral notes are always a win-win. But beware of the rust color — it ages a lot.
Eyelash
Mascara manufacturers do not deceive us when they promise cosmic volume or dizzying length. The problem is that many simply do not know how to paint their eyelashes correctly. For each type of brush, depending on what material it is made of and how its bristles are twisted, there is a special application technique. A makeup artist will help you figure out these subtleties, but in the meantime, try to memorize the universal rules.
Eyelashes should be painted in three stages: you start from the outer corner of the eye, then move to the center, and at the end you study the inner corner. The technique will always be the same. First, remove excess mascara from the brush. Do this quickly so that the ink does not thicken. Now apply the brush to the roots as tightly as possible and make a few zigzag movements at the very base. You need to try to settle as much carcass as possible in this place. Then start combing the eyelashes from the roots to the tips with stretching movements to create an elongating effect. Do not use zigzag vibrations at this stage, otherwise the hairs will stick together. Then paint the tips separately — so the right dose of lengthening microwaves will settle on them. Then go through the combing movements from top to bottom again, lifting and stacking the eyelashes.
