Beautiful everyday makeup is the key to success throughout the day. A correctly selected make-up will help both in work, at business meetings, and on a date. Makeup for every day is significantly different from evening or holiday, so before you begin to perform it, you need to familiarize yourself with all the features.
The basic rules of daytime makeup
Eye makeup for every day differs from other options with a color palette, application techniques, the choice of appropriate shades of lipsticks. In addition, it is important to observe all stages of applying make-up on the face.
Mostly daytime makeup is identified with nude.
The basic rules and stages of everyday makeup include:
- Preparation of the base: applying a moisturizer, foundation, concealer, highlighter, using powder and blush or bronzer;
- Styling and correction of eyebrows in accordance with hair color;
- Design and highlight eyes with shadows, mascara, eyeliner or pencil;
- Use lipstick and contour.
In addition to a careful selection of the tonal foundation and face powder, suitable for skin tone, it is very important to choose a palette of shadows for simple makeup. Shadows should be invisible, but at the same time perform the proper functions: emphasize expressively the eye, adjust their shape and draw attention to the look.
Ideal shades of shade for daytime makeup:
- Peach;
- Beige;
- Corporeal;
- Light brown;
- Cinnamon;
- Chocolate;
- Champagne
- Powdery;
- Dusty rose;
- Golden.
Coverage of shadows can be both matte and pearlescent. However, it is recommended to avoid applying too pronounced shine. An exception is the use of a shimmer in makeup designed for dating.
For everyday makeup, it is recommended to use warm shades of lipsticks, you can also resort to the use of lip gloss or a tint of soft tone.
Lipstick can be replaced with discreet blush with a creamy texture.
It is recommended to choose a shade of lipstick for your lips depending on the finish:
- Matte: beige, light brown, cinnamon or flesh;
- Mother-of-pearl: pale pink, champagne, with a red undertone or lilac nuances.
Colorful, eye-catching lipsticks are categorically not suitable for everyday makeup. Saturated lip colors are allowed as a sub-tone if lipstick is in nude shades.
Of the techniques, smokey ice in delicate colors, a relief method of applying shadows and a “loop”, which helps to highlight the outer corner of the eye with a darker nuance, will be most relevant. You can also decorate everyday makeup with the arrows.
We select everyday makeup according to eye color
Beautiful light makeup for every day directly depends not only on the time of day, destination, hair color, but also on the color of the eyes. Before applying makeup, you need to decide on a color palette suitable directly to the eyes, which will help highlight the look.
Shadows need to be chosen in several shades, but in a single gamut, passing from a light nuance to a dark one.This will help to make the look and face more expressive. You also need to consider the color of the carcass and eyeliner so that the shades do not merge with the base, but do not contrast strongly.
For a balanced everyday look, it is recommended to combine a light base with arrows in pastel colors or a light pearly shimmer.
For those who like to emphasize the lower eyelid with an additional arrow, make-up artists advise changing tactics and using soft pencil or shades of neutral shades instead of eyeliner, which are easy to blend.
For brown eyes
Girls with brown eyes can easily choose beautiful makeup for every day. Neutral shades of shadows are suitable for this type of face, so any make-up made in the right color palette will look perfect.
Shades of shadow suitable for brown eyes:
- Light pink;
- Pink;
- Peach;
- Beige;
- Chocolate;
- Smoky.
In this case, depending on the skin tone, it is recommended to use a blush with a cold undertone or bronzer. Too much facial contouring will look artificial, which can ruin the overall impression of makeup.
Beautiful makeup for brown eyes can be created using shadows with a golden tint and a bronze liner.
For lips, brown-eyed girls need to give preference to saturated shades of lipsticks:
- Lilac;
- Purple;
- Bodily;
- Brown.
Of the techniques for applying shadows fit: smokey ice, cut crease, loop. The most interesting option for every day is cut crease, in which the emphasis is on the crease between the movable and fixed eyelids. However, for daytime makeup, it is better to choose a non-standard option with a transparent shimmer.
You can perform this technique quite quickly, armed with the necessary palettes and brushes.
Step 1: apply a shadow base to the moving eyelid. The color of the shadows can be any, but it is advisable to choose as close as possible to the natural skin tone, for example: beige, flesh, light brown or even peach. With the help of a brush, the shadows are shaded up along the fixed eyelid to the very eyebrows.
Step 2: Between the mobile and the fixed eyelids, apply shadows of a darker shade with a red or bronze undertones. This is the main element of the cut crease technique. The line also needs to be shaded a little up and down to create a smoother transition. It is important that you do not block the existing base with a new color.
Step 3: on top of the drawn line, apply shadows a tone darker than the previous ones. This is necessary for a greater effect. You do not need to shade them. We also add some light shades of beige or with a golden nuance under the bend of the eyebrows.
Step 4: with the help of flickering translucent shadows, we distinguish a moving eyelid. Despite the fact that the makeup is designed for a weekday, such an element will not spoil or overload it, but only give the look the necessary radiance.
Step 5: color the eyelashes with black or dark brown mascara. If a girl is going on a date, then you can supplement it with ordinary arrows, suitable for the shape of the eyes and face.
Lipstick for such a makeup is chosen in nude shades and can be:
- Peachy;
- Champagne colors;
- Pale pink;
- Light brown;
- Coral.
It is better to choose a lipstick with a liquid texture or vice versa matte. Pearlescent nuances on the lips in this case will be inappropriate, especially in bright pink or purple shades.
For green eyes
Owners of green eyes are quite difficult to choose a light and beautiful makeup for every day. This is due to the fact that the ideal gamut of shadows for green-eyed girls is purple, which can emphasize the brightness of the look, but not the only one.
For daily makeup for green eyes, warm shades of shadows are suitable:
- Peach;
- Copper;
- Bronze;
- Coffee with milk;
- Golden;
- Pearl.
Facial blush is better to choose peach or pale pink.The mascara will suit classic black, and the arrows will be green, especially in combination with nude makeup.
Create a catchy, but not vulgar makeup for green eyes will help the favorite technique of most makeup artists - smokey ice, made in golden colors.
The Smokey Ice technique is also called “smoky,” because it consists in creating a smooth transition from light to dark nuances from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. Green-eyed girls are perfect palette: beige-golden-brown. When creating such a makeup, you must follow the instructions.
Step 1: training. We apply beige or flesh-colored shadows on the eyelid and carefully blend them. Shadows can be replaced with a dry concealer, which will not only give the right tone, but also hide possible skin imperfections.
Then, using a narrow brush along the lower eyelid from the middle of the outer corner of the eye, draw a thin line with brown shadows, bending the corner up.
Step 2: applying shadows. Closer to the inner corner of the eye we apply golden shadows, increasing the amount by the middle of the eyelid. To the outer corner, add dark shadows with a bronze tint from the same palette. Repeat the application of shadows on the lower eyelid.
Step 3: feathering. With a medium-sized brush and with a soft pile, gently blend the shadows with each other for a smooth transition. Repeat the procedure with the edges of the shadows. Add a little dark bronze to the lower eyelid, slightly drawing a narrow line.
Step 4: eyelashes and lips. Black ink on the upper and lower eyelashes. Then remove the remnants of the shadows with a brush. For bronze smokey ice, lipstick in warm colors is suitable:
- Beige;
- Peach;
- Champagne
- Light brown.
Despite the unusual color scheme, such makeup is quite relevant for everyday affairs. It perfectly emphasizes the green shade of the eyes, looks neat and is not overloaded with additional elements, like the evening one.
For gray eyes
Gray eye color is one of the rarest. It includes various shades: blue, green, blue, sometimes even brown. That is why the choice of shadows for gray eye makeup is quite extensive, especially including the orange undertone:
- Cold brown;
- Taupe;
- Melon
- Salmon;
- Copper;
- Wine.
However, for daytime makeup of gray eyes, it is better to choose discreet shades of shades or nude with a red tint. Peach is considered a universal color for a face make-up, and relief and cut crease will look most advantageous from techniques.
The classic version of the cut crease technique is to separate the movable and fixed eyelids with an expressively defined line. In this case, the upper part is smoky, and the lower part is clear. You can create this effect using shadows or even dry concealers.
The everyday cut crease option can be done in three simple steps.
Step 1: we apply the main color on the eyelid, on a tone or two darker than the natural skin tone. Experts advise to leave unpainted a small strip above the eyelash growth line.
Step 2: apply dark shadows to the fold and fixed eyelid. The color should be with warm nuances, preferably peach or brown with an orange undertone. Shadows should extend beyond the outer corner of the eye.
Step 3: apply light shadows to the moving eyelid. Instead of light, beige or body shadows, you can use a concealer that matches the skin tone to give the image a natural look. Shadows draw a straight strip along the eyelid without shading. The line should be smooth and clear.
Step 4: color eyelashes. This must be done carefully from the very foundation of eyelash growth. For such makeup, it is better to use dark brown mascara, but in no case light or black. It is also better to avoid colored mascara or bright eyeliner.
Lipsticks are suitable for everyday makeup for gray eyes:
- Chocolate
- Plum;
- Cinnamon;
- Nude.
Lip texture is best to choose cream, avoiding matte options.Also ideal for girls with gray eyes are lip glosses with different tones: pink, red, peach.
