Gentle makeup in natural shades is one of the main trends in almost every season. It is suitable for any event and event, and is also actively used at fashion shows. The relevance of gentle makeup allows you to use it daily for work, dates, business meetings, weddings and parties.
How to make gentle makeup for every day?
Many girls associate gentle makeup with nyudovym everyday, but this is not all variations of make-up. You can create a beautiful delicate make-up not only with the help of flesh-colored shades of shadows and faded lipsticks, but also adding catchy accents.
You can decorate a gentle light makeup:
- Arrows
- Translucent shimmer;
- Glitter;
- Unusual shadowing techniques;
- Ink color.
Depending on the purpose of the make-up, accents are also chosen. So evening make-up in nude shades will ideally combine with the techniques: “loop”, “butterfly”, “smokey ice”. In this case, you can use dark brown and ash shades to give the necessary smoky effect on the eyes.
A classic scheme for applying shadows with gentle makeup is considered a relief technique in which two or three shades are used and applied with a gradient.
For everyday life, a gentle make-up with classic arrows is suitable, which will give the face freshness and help highlight the look. You can make such a make-up at home quite quickly and easily, for this you will need:
- Nude palette of shadows;
- Tonal base;
- Color proofreaders;
- Primer
- Clear powder;
- Mascara is black or dark brown;
- Liquid eyeliner;
- Black soft eyeliner;
- Cream lipstick.
Before you start applying makeup, you need to study all the subtleties and nuances that can significantly affect the final result, as well as familiarize yourself with the basic steps for its implementation.
Color accents in makeup can also be added. The most fashionable option is considered to be with the failed mucosa of the lower eyelid. Usually it is brought down with a soft pencil in muffled saturated shades of green, blue or purple. The shade is selected depending on the natural color of the eyes.
Foundation preparation
The main thing for beautiful and gentle makeup is smooth and even skin. Before applying shadows, it is very important to prepare a good base for make-up. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the face with a sponge moistened in tonic or a cotton pad. The tonic can be replaced with micellar water. The best option would be a matting effect.
Then you need to apply a special primer. It can be white, beige or pink, depending on the skin tone. The use of this cosmetic product contributes to a better grip of makeup.
The primer should be thoroughly shaded over the surface of the face. You can apply it with a brush or fingers with soft, light movements. A concealer can also be used on top of the primer to help hide minor imperfections on the epidermis and narrow pores.
Defect correction
The second important step in preparing the skin for further makeup is masking skin imperfections. To do this, use special color correctors to help hide acne, spots on the face and small wrinkles or even scars.
Correctors are applied point or zone, depending on the size of the defect. So the green shade helps to hide redness, pink mask bruises, purple removes yellowness, and nuance nuances allow you to adjust the shape of the face, eyes and nose. Each shade must be carefully shaded.
Foundation
In accordance with the skin tone, a tonal agent is also chosen. The base should completely match the skin tone so that the effect of a “mask” on the face is not created. Apply a tonalnik or BB cream with a brush, and gently blend with a sponge.
Important: it is necessary to blend the tonal foundation from the face from the cheekbones to the neck to avoid sudden transitions.
It is best to choose a foundation with a matte effect. Such a cream will hide the enlarged pores and remove the oily sheen from the face. A base with flickering particles should be used when the rest of the makeup is planned in nude skin tones.
Applying powder
For daytime makeup, makeup artists recommend using a clear powder with a matting effect. In some cases, you can choose powder with flickering particles that are able to reflect light and give the face a slight glow.
It is better to apply powder with a special large brush with a soft pile in a thin layer, while it is necessary to cover the entire surface of the face and neck. You should start from the top of the face, gradually dropping to the chin.
Using blush
The final step in preparing your face is applying blush. Blush should also be selected in accordance with the skin tone, therefore, for a cold color type, a pink subton is better suited, and orange is better for a warm one.
Blush must be applied before eye makeup.
Apply blush with a fan-shaped brush on the cheekbones and cheeks. It is important not to overdo it with the amount of cosmetics, otherwise, instead of a fresh image, you can achieve the opposite effect.
Eye makeup
The next important step in creating a gentle make-up is eye makeup. To do this, it is better to choose a nude palette of shadows. Ideal shades would be:
- Champagne
- Peach;
- Sand;
- Beige;
- Corporeal;
- Light brown;
- Coral.
Eye make-up should also be done step by step, following the rules and techniques for applying shadows.
Step 1. Inter-ciliary contour
To add density to eyelashes and visually make them more voluminous and thicker, you can use a soft black pencil. Carefully draw a pencil along the eyelash growth line, carefully filling the space between them.
Step 2. Apply Foundation Shadows
As the main shadows, it is recommended to choose gentle pastel colors. An ideal option for everyday makeup will be a shade of champagne with a slight sheen. We apply eye shadow on the eyelid, blending even under the lower one.
Step 3. Drawing a corner of the eyelid
Choose a darker shade of shadows from the palette with a matte texture. Using a medium-sized brush, draw the outer corner of the moving eyelid with it and gently blend it.
Step 4. Adding an Accent
We select shades with a warm brown or red undertones, necessarily with a matte texture. The hue should not be darker than the highlighted corner of the eye. We put the shadows on the crease of the eyelid and brush it with a brush along to create a soft smooth transition.
Step 5. Arrows and eyelashes
You can decorate delicate makeup with the help of a thin classic arrow. With a liquid eyeliner, gently draw a thin line along the edge of the upper eyelid, without going beyond it. This arrow is considered minimalistic and ideal for work or daytime meetings.
Then also gently paint the eyelashes with mascara, without touching the lower ones. It is recommended to carefully separate the cilia with a brush, applying no more than one or two layers of mascara.
When applying makeup, do not forget about styling eyebrows. Eyebrows should be as natural as possible. For design, it is better to choose shades that are suitable for the natural color of the hairs. Apply shadows should be a thin layer, and then they need to be combed with a special brush.
Lipstick
Light shine or creamy lipstick will help to complete the look. You can also choose lipstick from nude shades or choose the right eye make-up with the right undertones. Lipsticks in shades are ideal:
- Roses
- Peach;
- Coral
- Beja.
Some professional makeup artists recommend replacing familiar lipsticks with cream blush. They are applied with fingertips on the surface of the lips and shaded from the center to the corners, achieving the effect of “kissed lips”. On top, you can add the usual transparent gloss that will add volume to the lips.
Gentle makeup with arrows.
To create a beautiful and delicate make-up for every day, it is not necessary to resort to various sophisticated techniques or unusual cosmetic products. Simply apply one shade of shadows to the eyelid and draw a neat arrow.
Types of arrows for a gentle make-up:
- Basic;
- Classic thin;
- With a short ponytail;
- Half.
At the peak of popularity in 2024, gentle makeup with white classic arrows.
Draw arrows using liquid eyeliner, soft pencil or eye shadow. Shades are selected according to the purpose of the makeup. The most relevant colors are:
- The black;
- Brown;
- White;
- Golden.
As the basis for the arrows, you can choose pearl shades in light brown, gray, beige and pink shades. Arrows on eyelids with solid shadows and a transparent shimmer will look good.
You can create simple and gentle evening eye makeup with arrows in just three steps:
- Application of the main shadows: champagne, peach, coral, cinnamon. You can take shadows with a pearly finish or add golden glitter;
- Draw arrows suitable for the occasion. For the evening make-up, classic or with a bent up corner are suitable;
- Eyelash tinting.
Lipstick for such a make-up is better to choose in muted nuances: brown or plum, without a shiny finish. The use of shades of fuchsia, terracotta or amethyst nuance, velveteen and flamingo colors is also allowed.
Ideas for Brunettes
To create a delicate make-up for brunettes, the technique of embossing eye shadow or nude smoky ice will help. The technique should be chosen depending on the shape and size of the eyes, and shades - focusing on the color of the iris.
Ideal color combinations of light make-up for brunettes will be:
- Beige, light brown and chocolate;
- Corporal, champagne and peach;
- Light gray, silver and wet asphalt;
- Muted green, golden and ivory.
The main method of makeup artists when applying gentle makeup is the use of creamy textures.
Cream shades look more natural than powder ones, therefore they help to create a light and airy image, emphasizing the natural beauty. The same rule applies to lipsticks. A matte finish visually dries the skin and can add several years.
Brunettes fit lipsticks of all shades. There are exceptions, depending on the skin tone, however, there are a number of colors suitable for absolutely all dark-haired beauties. Lipsticks should be chosen in universal colors:
- Dusty roses;
- Coral
- Smoky plum;
- Ripe cherries.
The main pigment in the lipstick should match the skin tone. So, for tanned brunettes, lipsticks with an orange undertone are ideal, and for pale skin with pink. You can also resort to the gradient method of applying lipstick, when the corners of the lips are painted with darker shades, and the middle is lighter.
For girls with dark hair, which has a bright and memorable appearance, just add a little makeup and eye shadow to stand out.Nude makeup is the best way to emphasize the natural virtues of brunettes.
To make a make-up in the style of nude more noticeable, just select the shades of the shades a couple of tones darker than the natural tone of the eyelid. The darkest colors should be applied to the outer corner of the eye and the fold of the eyelid. In this case, it is better to avoid the use of transparent gloss, preferring pink nuances.
Ideas for Blondes
A win-win version of gentle makeup for blondes - peach, pink and sand tones. Pastel shades of shade also go well with blond hair. In nude shades, you can perform various shading techniques:
- "Bird";
- "Cut crease";
- Relief;
- Arrows
- Smokey Ice.
Blondes are contraindicated in too dark shades and black color of shadows. Especially in combination with bright saturated lipstick.
Cream shades with a matte finish, but not with satin or pearl, will help to add lightness, freshness and innocence to the image. For this, nude and ashy shades are suitable:
- Purple
- Lavender;
- Pink;
- Powdery;
- Corporeal.
Perfectly complete the image of lipstick in delicate pastel shades: lilac, light violet, wisteria, dusty rose, eggplant, cream, terracotta. Instead of lipstick, you can safely use lip gloss or tint.
In everyday makeup, aggressiveness should be avoided, namely false eyelashes, wide arrows, bright scarlet lipsticks.
An ideal variant of a gentle make-up for blondes is monomake up.
The technique of mono makeup is the use of one cosmetic product for applying on the lips, eyelids, cheekbones. A striking example of mono makeup is the popular Korean make-up, which uses exclusively creamy blush of delicate pink shades.
