All girls dream of makeup like in the picture. But it takes practice and experience to get such a picture!
With an arsenal of even the coolest beauty tools at hand, you can easily go nuts. If you do not want to become a victim of make-up mistakes, then you should know what cosmetics require skills. It’s better to practice at home, calling on beauty bloggers with workshops and video tutorials for help, than remembering the bad makeup that ruined the first date!
First, you should choose exactly your shade! Forget about the fact that red color allegedly does not suit you – there are dozens of shades, and you need to competently approach the choice of yours.
Secondly, mastering the technique of perfectly applying bright lipstick is not easy. Therefore, pull yourself together, turn off emotions, do not freak out and train! Before applying bright lipstick, you should thoroughly exfoliate the skin of the lips. You can use regular honey – by the way, the favorite method of Hollywood beauty Megan Fox. Just put some warm honey on your toothbrush and brush … lips with gentle circular motions. And finally, apply your usual moisturizing or nourishing balm. It is advisable to do this procedure before bedtime. During the night, the redness of the skin of the lips after the scrub disappears, the balm is perfectly absorbed into the skin and makes it velvety and tender.
Do not neglect the primer if you want the lipstick to last all day. Plus, the primer will keep your lips hydrated – even matte lipstick won’t leave your lips feeling dry. Learn how to properly line your lips – the starting point should be the center of the lip (both lower and upper).
Another mistake girls make is the desire to visually enlarge their lips. If you want to be like a clown, then go ahead. Such visual tricks are subject only to those who are well trained and know how to play with shades and concealer. Believe me, a pencil and lipstick of one shade will not be enough in this case! And don’t forget the fact that bright lipstick requires the perfect skin tone!
Summer is slowly but surely leaving, and with it the hope of becoming the owner of an even chocolate tan. For some reason, many girls think that self-tanning is the perfect and quick solution for those who dream of dark skin. The solution may be good, but not perfect and certainly not fast. If you just apply or spray a self-tanner on your skin, you run the risk of looking like an orange carrot!
To begin with, the skin should be prepared, that is, it is not enough to take a shower. During water procedures, you need to thoroughly scrub the body, ridding the skin of dead cells. After that, the skin should be moisturized. By the way, some girls use ordinary vegetable oil – the self-tanning lays on the skin perfectly! And now you can start the most important thing – applying self-tanning. But keep in mind that you will have to spend a couple of hours naked and in an upright position until the product is absorbed!
Surely every girl reproached herself for her curvature, trying to draw the perfect arrows. This is where practice is definitely needed! Better to get an inexpensive workout option, include video tutorials and devote a couple of hours to study. Wrong arrows – too long or short, wide, of different thickness and length – will not emphasize the beauty of your eyes, but, on the contrary, will make your look heavier.
If you can’t wait to try, so to speak, go out with arrows, then put aside the liquid eyeliner and take a pencil. Blots will be easier to correct, and ordinary dark shadows will help to correct and add brightness. Just run a thin brush along the line drawn with a pencil and the look will become more expressive.
It is worth noting that pearlescent shadows will be more appropriate for evening make-up, and for everyday make-up it is better to choose matte. Do not forget that mother-of-pearl and glitter accentuate fine expression lines. Do not under any circumstances draw the lower eyelid with them! The scattered glitter will roll down in wrinkles, the makeup will look careless, and the accentuated defects will add a couple of years to you. There should be very little mother-of-pearl even in evening make-up. Rely on opacity – you definitely can’t go wrong here! Do not forget about careful shading and forget about the usual applicators. Just a brush!
This is a really great beauty product that is ready to turn even the most problematic skin into perfect one. But, unfortunately, skills are indispensable here. The network is replete with various video courses in which the skin of the models, as if by magic, turns almost into silk. In reality, in the hands of an inexperienced novice, a lifesaving corrective agent can turn into a nightmare. Minimum risk – your face will resemble a mask and will give out all the excesses of foundation and powder, maximum – a poorly shaded product will make you a rainbow pony.
Recall that there can be several colors: pink – applied in the area of the cheekbones, eyes and forehead and gives shine to dull skin, green – removes skin redness, pimples, acne, orange, peach or red – will help hide bruises and brown spots (color saturation depends from the shade of your skin – orange and peach will suit the owners of a noble pale, it is better for dark-skinned women to choose a red color), purple – is applied along the line from the forehead through the nose to the chin, as well as under the eyes, hides traces of fatigue and yellow bruises on the skin. As you can see, there are many shades. Proper use and technique will help create the perfect tone, hide all traces of fatigue, pigmentation, imperfections and unevenness of the skin. But you need to learn!
It is often confused with a highlighter because it also gives the skin a glow. But shimmer is a tool for evening make-up. Due to the large glitter, it creates a more radiant and, so to speak, glamorous skin look. Agree, in daylight, such a shine will be superfluous and inappropriate. If you do decide to buy a shimmer and use it to create makeup, it is important to know two features.
First, decide on the consistency of the product. If you want a wet shine, then you should opt for liquid and powder shimmers. Creamy shimmer will give a more subtle effect, while neon powder will make you a real shining star in the literal sense of the word.
Secondly, decide on the right shade for your skin. Do not choose a product that is too contrasting with the natural skin tone – this will add age and will be very noticeable on the face. The ideal option is delicate beige shades!
In addition, the technique of applying the shimmer is important. The main thing is not to overdo it and apply a small amount of the product with a wide soft brush (not with a sponge or a puff!).
