Proper makeup will turn you into a beauty queen
You can achieve delightful results if you learn to apply decorative cosmetics properly. According to specialists of the Unimakeup Makeup and Visage Studio, everything can be corrected – from skin tone and eye shape to eyebrow shape and even nose. By the way, on the studio's website unimakeup.ru you can sign up for a one-day makeup seminar, which is held weekly.
How to correct the color and shape of the face
Any makeup starts with a base. Therefore, it is worth buying a special makeup primer. This will later allow for even application of foundation. It, in turn, will give the skin smoothness, radiance, and make small imperfections invisible.
Choosing a foundation is not easy; you need to consider your skin tone. You simply need to take one trick into account: foundation is always chosen a little darker than your natural skin tone.
How to apply foundation? There are two methods to mention.
• The first method – using a damp sponge. Squeeze a little cream onto a pre-moistened sponge. Then blend the foundation. Apply the sponge to the forehead and move to each temple alternately. Also, first apply to the chin and move to the earlobes. And from the side of the nose to the prominent part of the cheekbones.
• The second method is done using the ring finger. Why the ring finger? Because it is the weakest, with minimal pressure. This means the skin will not be injured or stretched. In the amount of two or three dots, the cream is applied along the lines of the forehead, cheekbones (the highest prominences). One dot each – near the corners of the mouth, nose, and chin. Gently touching the skin, you need to even out the tone.
If there are no skin problems, most makeup artists insist on using a moisturizer instead of foundation.
Rule for applying blush
When applying blush, remember one rule: less is more. Apply to the cheeks, chin, temples, earlobes.
What should be considered when doing eye makeup? First, many girls skillfully play with contrast, emphasizing the individuality and uniqueness of their eye colors. To do this, just choose eyeshadows of contrasting shades.
Secondly, the inner corner of the eye should always be a shade lighter than the outer corner. Moreover, the transitions from one color to another should be smooth.
Third, the combination of colors should be well-chosen. For example, from pink to beige, from lilac to purple. If you want to emphasize the arch of the eyebrows, apply eyeshadow under the arches – pearlescent or light silver.
Rules for applying mascara
• The brush is pressed at the base of the eyelashes.
• With a continuous zigzag motion, move the brush from the base to the tips of the eyelashes.
• Wait two minutes, repeat.
Makeup for eyebrows
Eyebrows can be colored with a pencil or eyeshadow. If you choose a pencil, it should be positioned at an angle towards the eyebrow. The arches are colored with short, precise strokes. Finally, all lines are blended to achieve a natural result.
If you use eyeshadow, a small amount is picked up with an applicator and also blended over the eyebrows.
Unruly eyebrows can be set with gel or wax.
About lip makeup
To correct the shape of the lips, it is enough to use a lip liner. If the lips are full, lines are drawn below the upper and above the lower natural edges of the lips. For makeup, a dark pencil is used.
For correcting narrow lips, on the contrary, a light pencil is used, and the natural borders are expanded. The lip liner should always be blended.
For a perfect lipstick application, it is worth using a brush.
And one final tip. In makeup, the emphasis is always on one thing: either the eyes or the lips.
