How to do makeup: phased photo with a description

Every woman and girl must know the simple rules for applying makeup. They will help to always look beautiful and well-groomed, without harming the skin.

What does the great sacrament begin with and what is the sequence? What important secrets do makeup artists know?

Makeup Tips

Properly applied makeup is able to beautifully emphasize your advantages and hide all the flaws. Only some 5 years ago, only professional makeup artists knew this secret. Today, every girl has access to a lot of information about how to become beautiful with cosmetics. The best makeup artists in the world have long been openly talking about their secrets.

The basic rules of good makeup

Getting started with makeup, remember that the most important thing in any make-up:

1. perfect face tone;
2. neat well-groomed eyebrows.

What do we mean by saying "perfect tone"? The color of the foundation should match the complexion, and the use of color correcting concealer in the presence of problem areas (bruises, acne, scars, dark circles under the eyes) is mandatory.

Just a couple of years ago, we did not pay so much attention eyebrows. Today, in the store of decorative cosmetics, a large number of products appeared specifically for them. What happened? The thing is that makeup artists have realized how important beautiful eyebrows are in makeup in general. Sloppy eyebrows can spoil even the most perfect makeup. Too thin pinched or, conversely, very thick massive ones are something that should be avoided. The ideal option is a natural form.

And finally, I want to say that it is very important do not overload your face with makeup. Today, more and more ladies sin this, so professionals say that "under" is better than "re."

Analyzing the features of your face

It is very important to sit down before a mirror and study all the features of your face in order to know what needs to be emphasized and what to carefully hide.

Skin type

Any makeup begins with the preparation of facial skin, and in the process we take into account all the features of the dermis.

• Moisturize dry skin, dusting it only in the “T” zone (forehead, nose, chin).
• Bold - we matte, powder well, do not use highlighter, periodically use matting wipes to remove greasy shine.
• Normal - just moisturize and slightly dust the “T” zone.
• Mature dermis requires a remedy with a lifting effect.
• Young skin loves liquid tones.
• We mask the skin with the presence of acne using a green concealer and foundation with high covering ability, powdering it (this will make acne less noticeable, since the powder removes all the shadows and works like a photoshop).

Eye color

In this case, we mean the correct choice of the shade of the shadows. Suitable shadows will make your eyes brighter and richer, and inappropriate shades will make you dull and tired.

 

Face shape

Getting to the correction of the face, it is necessary to correctly identify the areas of lightening and darkening.

Hair color

Blondes can afford dark and bright eye makeup. Lips are allowed to be painted red even during the day. Brunettes should give preference to nude shades. Red lipstick will only be appropriate with light makeup or small black arrows. Brown-haired women have a universal appearance, which gives complete freedom.

Problem areas

It is worth paying special attention to problem areas:

• Acne and red spots hide pointwise using a green corrector or a special pencil.
• Dark circles under the eyes it is necessary to grease with a peach corrector before applying foundation.
• Bruises hide yellow or peach corrector.
• Deep wrinkles we work out additionally with a moisturizer, do not powder and refuse pearlescent textures.
• Drooping eyelid It is corrected using the Smokey Ice technique (it is not necessary to draw black eyes, brown shades will completely come off).

Major makeup mistakes

Professional makeup artists highlighted the most common makeup errors that should be avoided:

Wrong light. If you are painting in the bathroom using artificial and yellow light sources, your make-up will be much brighter and “redder”. Yellow color neutralizes the "red", so you can not adequately assess the result. But the most important thing is saturation. In poor lighting, unintentionally we apply a lot more makeup than necessary. Try to paint in daylight or use a white fluorescent lamp.

Incorrectly selected face tone. If you incorrectly chose a tonalnik, a “mask” forms on your face. As a result, the face and neck will be in different shades.

Eyebrows too bright.Do not overdo it with eyebrows, otherwise you will have only them on your face. Make-up artists advise you to put on makeup first, after deciding on the intensity (daytime makeup does not require too bright eyebrows, while evening makeup implies a bit more intense than usual).

Eyebrows too thin.Fashion for thin eyebrows is a thing of the past. Today, professionals advise giving preference to the natural form that Mother Nature has endowed you. Thin strings above the eyes make the face even larger and look very unnatural.

Mother of pearl eye shadow for daytime makeup. We say right away that pearl products must be handled very carefully, since they have the ability to emphasize the almost invisible folds in the eyes and make the overhanging eyelid very difficult. If we talk about light daytime makeup, then in the morning sparkles will be a little inappropriate and may look a bit theatrical. All we need in the morning is lightness and invisibility.

Bust with the length of the arrows.A beautiful arrow is a classic of the genre. It suits absolutely everyone and always, but here you also need to know the measure. The arrow should slightly extend beyond the edges of the eye, otherwise you will look like a freak.

Too bright lips.A couple of years ago, there were bright lips in fashion that look a little awkward. The fashion for such makeup has long passed, but many can’t part with this trend.

Red bronzer instead of contouring. The main mistake in makeup, which even make-up artists make. For contouring, use a dry or cream gray-brown corrector without a redhead. Bronzer in makeup is used by professional makeup artists only to give the skin a light, natural tan and a slight glow.

The abundance of highlighter. Today, many girls sin by watching a video of beauty bloggers from the Internet. But do not forget the main rule: what looks beautiful in photos and videos looks very unnatural in life. If you overdo it a little, just powder on top, removing the excess shine.

Badly shaded shadows.A brush for shading shadows must be on the shelf of every woman, and applicators should be thrown into the trash, as they apply the product too intensively, and it is simply impossible to shade the shadows with them.

Concealer too light under the eyes. Trying to brighten the area under the eyes, use the concealer a tone lighter, but no more.

Inability to use white transport powder. White transparencies need to be able to handle correctly and very carefully. Sometimes even professional makeup artists go too far, and as a result, the lady’s photo has white circles under her eyes due to the presence of reflective particles, although in life everything looks as natural as possible.

Search with blush. Blush create a harmonious connection between the eyes and lips and are applied lightly to the dimples of the cheeks (if you do not know where to apply, just smile).

Face powder. A too dull face, like a pancake without a single shadow and brilliance, does not paint anyone. Today, the main motto of makeup: "naturalness and lightness with the help of light contouring."

Search with mascara.Trying to make the eyelashes longer and eyes longer, many apply 2-3 layers of mascara. This gross mistake weighs down. Make-up artists advise lightly powdering the cilia or just glue as natural a length as possible.

Matte lipstick on dry lips. We all know that you need to take care of your skin and moisturize it thoroughly, but many people forget about lips. They should also be moisturized regularly, especially now that everyone has come to love matte lipsticks.

Makeup steps

Getting started with makeup, it is very important to do everything in sequence. In the beginning, it will take a lot of time, but constantly, practicing, you will learn to restore beauty in 10 minutes.

Facial skin preparation

(the most important stage, which includes makeup remover and good hydration).

It is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin of cosmetic residues or simply refresh with a tonic, then sprinkle with thermal water and apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type (we moisten oily skin and moisturize dry skin). This stage in facial makeup is very important, as the final result depends on it. Poorly prepared and not moisturized skin will ruin the whole picture.

Masking problem areas

Corrector for problem areas (if your skin is normal without defects, skip this step).

We work out problem areas precisely:

• red acne - close the green corrector,
• purple spots and blue veins - yellow,
• green spots, earthy complexion - pink, red,
• orange stains from tanning - purple.

But the most common makeup problem is dark circles and bags under the eyes. They can be hidden by a dense concealer, which is a tone lighter than the complexion (draw a triangle).

You can also work out the nasolabial folds.

Drawing a tonal basis

We apply foundation or BB cream, which is ideal in color. Choose those tinting products that have a light yellow pigment. They are perfect for European women. It should be applied with a slightly moist beauty blender or a special brush made of synthetic pile.

Powder tone fixation

We use friable powder in the makeup in order to fix the tone. It is preferable to fix only the T-zone, which quickly becomes glossy due to the release of sebum.

You can use a transparent or white transparency. The main thing to remember is that powder is an auxiliary tool that mattifies and fixes the tonal base. It is applied with a large fluffy brush in small amounts. During the day, you can slightly powder the T-zone with compact powder or get wet with matting napkins.

Face correction with dry corrections

We give shape to the face, because after creating the perfect tone, it turns into a clean page without natural shadows and highlights.

1. Blackout: Using a natural brush, we pick up some dry brown proofreaders (Mac “Harmony” is ideal), drive it on the hand and lightly move it under the cheekbone (starting from the middle of the cheek we go “no” to the cheekbones), along the hairline, side side of the nose, under the chin, slightly under the lip.
2. Highlight. Highlight the back of the nose, the checkmark above the upper lip, the chin, the protruding part of the cheekbone, under the eyebrow, the inner corner of the eye, and the middle of the forehead.

Shade everything thoroughly!

Eyebrow drawing

We comb with a special brush guiding the hairs up. With a pale pink or white pencil, draw a line under the eyebrows and slightly blend it. For correction we use a beveled hard brush and matte shadows or a special hard pencil for eyebrows.

You can fix it if you wish with a special transparent or brown gel (today in stores there is a huge selection for blondes and brunettes).

Step-by-step eye makeup

At this stage, you can adjust the shape of the eyes, but we will consider the average light daytime makeup.

Stage 1 eye makeup. Apply the base under the shadows (the primer makes the shadows more stable, helps them to lie down better and shades well).

Stage 2 eye makeup. Apply dark opaque shadows to the outer corner of the eye and the fold of the upper eyelid, light - to the inner. Shade the border. You can add a little brown matte shadows to the outer corner of the lower eyelid along the line of eyelash growth, reaching the middle of the eye (shade).

3 Stage makeup gdaz. Highlight the eye with a black pencil or eyeliner. You can simply walk along the eyelash growth line or make a soft arrow on the upper eyelid and blend it beyond the edges of the eye and lifting it up (this will make the eye much larger).

Stage 4 eye makeup (optional). Paint the mucous membrane of the eyes with a light pink or beige pencil.

5 Stage eye makeup. Make up the eyelashes, slightly twisting and focusing on the roots at the base (many people like to dye only the ends of the eyelashes, but over time they drop and we get not big eyes, but the exact opposite effect).

Applying blush

We take pink (you can peach or coral) blush and apply on the apples of the cheeks, which are formed when we smile. Lightly shade towards the temples. Lightly walk along the tip of the nose and around the perimeter of the face to create a harmony of color in the makeup!

Lip makeup

Moisturize the lips with balm and stained with your favorite lipstick. If you want to create a more lasting effect, paint your lips completely with a pencil, the same shade as the lipstick, and only then apply the lipstick.

Makeup fixation

Sprinkle thermal water or makeup pads (not an obligatory stage, but desirable for evening makeup).

How to choose cosmetics

The choice of cosmetics is one of the most important issues, since good cosmetics are inexpensive, while cheap cosmetics are not always happy with their quality.

Foundation should be suitable for your skin type and meet your needs:

• light texture and color;
• saturated color and high covering ability;
• durability;
• Extra moisturizing or matting ability.

And how to choose the color of the tonal? When choosing a shade, do not make the main mistake that absolutely everyone makes - they test the product on the wrist. The shade of the hands and face is very different. Apply a little product to the area under the eyes and blend on the cheek.Going outside, look at yourself in daylight. Stores often sin by turning on yellow lamps that neutralize redheads. That is why when we come home, we are often disappointed with the purchase.

It is best to apply the product on the face and live with it all day. A good store will not refuse you the opportunity to test the tonalnik correctly. You must understand whether you are comfortable or not and whether this product withstands your rhythm of life.

At lipstick The main color and texture. Put a little lipstick on your hand and decide whether you like the texture. Next, attach to the lips and look at the color. Do not try the color on your hand, as this also distorts the color. You can apply a little tool on the inside of the fingers, as it is almost the same color as the lips.

The only universal color of lipstick that will suit absolutely everyone is red of a cold shade (if you rub it on your hand, it should shade to pink).

It is advisable to buy loose powder, and use pressed powder only in order to throw it in handbags and correct during the day. Crumbly lay down in a thin light layer, while pressed has the ability to layering.

Blush better choose cream, so they look as natural as possible. Color can be cold or warm pink, peach.

Ink choosing is not so difficult. Just decide what you need: make eyelashes longer or thicker.

Concealer should be slightly denser than the tonal and lighter by one tone, but no more.

Eyebrow pencil or eye shadow must be brown or gray-brown without a "red". It’s best to choose a tone shade lighter than your eyebrows.

Eyeliner choose according to the principle of shading. Draw a small line on the hand, wait a bit and rub it. If the line is practically not smeared, take it.

How can I save?

We all know that the more expensive the cosmetics, the better the quality. But there are funds that can be saved.

And also inexpensive analoguesthat are great for home use.

What is not worth saving on?

Foundation must be expensive and good, because we apply it on the face and live with it for the whole day. But the most important thing is that only the quality of makeup depends on it. You can have an expensive tonal, and all other products are very cheap and no one to notice. A cheap tonal one will fall in spots, be too “red” or even be like a mask.
