Maria presented us with seven makeup options for all occasions.
Makeup for young and charming girls is an integral part of the image. In our case, we offered the model a bright and at the same time elegant make-up in the Hollywood style. An integral part of this make-up is a bright accent on the lips and graceful, charcoal black arrows. It is important to remember that the beauty and delicacy of this image does not allow “bruises” under the eyes and requires a detailed study of the skin. Red lips suit every girl, it is important to choose the right shade and be confident in the durability of the lipstick. In the make-up, we used a long-lasting eyeliner and argan oil lipstick from the Paese cosmetics brand.
How often can we brag about the boldness of using yellow, green or blue shades in our makeup ?! Probably every second girl wants to try these colors in her image, but there is not always a reason. If you are the owner of bright brown, black, blue or green eyes, then you have such an opportunity! Try to build a beautiful eyelash line from colored eyeliners, and your daily look will become more interesting and brighter. I will share a little secret, if you have a lot of bright eyeshadows, then you can get a stable eyeliner only by adding the magic remedy from Paese Drop fix to these shadows. Do not forget about the skin, any bright accents will draw attention to imperfections, so try to hide all sorts of little things with a light foundation or concealer.
Dry skin, as every second girl is familiar with in winter. It should be noted that many try not to touch this type of skin again, so as not to harm and emphasize peeling. For proper care and preparation for make-up, nutrition is very important for such skin! This is where concentrated hyaluronic serum comes in handy. By adding a couple of drops to your day and night cream, you will provide your skin with additional nourishment and hydration from the inside out. When it comes to makeup, you definitely need a light moisturizing base and foundation without moisture and stickiness on your face. You can fix such products with a powder with a slight glow effect, which will give more freshness to the skin. Don’t be afraid to add all kinds of shimmery textures, on dry skin it looks expensive and rich, the main thing is not to overdo it!
If your corporate style does not allow wearing bright makeup, this does not mean that you need to forget about it. “Makeup without makeup” is also an art and a secret of every business lady. When starting such a make-up, it is important to be confident in choosing a make-up base that will keep the make-up fresh throughout the day under artificial illumination and computer exposure. The base should provide the necessary care for the skin, dry, moisturize and nourish, oily matte, etc. The shade of the foundation should ideally blend with your skin tone and be light in texture without a mask effect. Be sure to neutralize the “bruises” under the eyes with a concealer with reflective particles. Such particles work very well optically and do not accentuate expression and age wrinkles. My favorite concealer on these occasions is from Paese’s Clair series. A light blush will give the skin freshness and well-groomed. There should not be a lot of mascara, it is necessary to paint over the roots of the cilia as well as possible, but not to form lumps at the tips. And finally, lipstick. It should give the effect of well-groomed and moisturized lips in a natural shade and have the most soft creamy texture. I do not advise using gloss, as it will give the effect of oily or slightly unkempt lips in this makeup option.

When you are a sweet and gentle child, and you need to look like a graceful lady at an upcoming party, in your case it is important not to overdo it with the brightness of your makeup. This can create an unwanted age difference and draw undue attention to you. Delicacy in creating an image is a very important point. All your facial features should instantly become clearer and more graphic, which will emphasize the architecture of the face and add grace. Skin should glow with health with a light-textured foundation and powder with a glowing effect. Remember, if your skin is prone to oily, then you can apply glowing powder only on the protruding cheekbones. The eyebrows need to be defined without darkening them too much, you need to choose the most suitable shade for you. The area under the cheekbones should be slightly darkened, this is called the cheekbone correction. This technique gives graphicity and thinness to the face. Uncomplicated color transitions on the eyes in natural neutral shades that suit everyone, without exception, will add charm to the look. And of course the lips. They don’t always need a very bright lipstick to make them look attractive. Lightly contoured powdery shades and highlights in the center of the lips work flawlessly.
All magazines and sites are full of models with naturally sloppy makeup, which have become so actively fashionable in the last year. And it is really beautiful! In fact, such looks are not complete without decorative cosmetics. A special part of these looks are the “sable” eyebrows and the effect of moist, radiant skin. The brightness and “shaggy” of such eyebrows is often achieved even with the help of building up the missing hairs, but I think this is unnecessary in everyday life. There are simpler options for this. For example, cream eyeshadow or liquid eyebrow gel plus a brush with which you can comb the eyebrows up and you are already halfway to a fashionable look. Of course, the need for hairs on the eyebrows is very important, if you do not have them, then you can try to grow them by lubricating them at night with special solutions. But this is a separate conversation. Further, the skin! If you want to get the effect of moisture, then you need a fluid tone, that is, very light, liquid in texture. These tones do not really cope with pimples, so it is important that they are not in very prominent places. Then – powder. Most often, instead of powder in such options, dry highlighters (shimmery pressed powders) are used, again, it is important not to overdo it with the amount so that the face does not look like a pancake at Shrovetide. A blush with a cold pink undertone will provide youth and tenderness, but on the lips it is better to use creamy translucent lipstick. You can apply it with your finger without a special contour.

“Each person is individual and unique, but they all have some common features,” says Karina. – The color palette is based on hair, eye and skin color. Based on this, there are four types of appearance, which are usually called according to the seasons. Looking at these photos, it will not be difficult for you to find out your color type and try on one of the proposed makeup options.
One of the tools for creating makeup is the color wheel. It is very easy to understand this scheme, then it will be easier for you to choose cosmetics and things for your wardrobe.

many alternatives).

Autumn is always bright and juicy. Therefore, the lipstick can be chosen in expressive warm shades. Lipsticks of dark red, raspberry, purple colors belong to autumn. Autumn women need to follow the main rule: only one bright accent on the face – either the eyes or the lips.
The skin is golden in color, with a lot of blush. Hair is usually bright red (its natural color), eyes are warm shades (hazel, warm green, amber). Such skin perceives sunburn badly.

Eye makeup for a winter type can be quite warm. Ladies’ makeup looks spectacular. Winter is the queen of contrasts, so bright lipstick will be more than appropriate. A woman of the winter type can afford bright makeup and rich colors. Deep purple, purplish pink, wine and red are great. Winter is of two categories – contrasting (Snow White) and southern winter.
Snow White is characterized by very light skin, almost white, while her hair is black or very dark. In the southern winter, the skin is dark-skinned, with an olive undertone and light down. The hair is dark brown and the eyes are brown, green, blue or blue.

Representatives of this type are distinguished by thin, almost transparent skin, a slight blush on the cheeks is possible. Hair in warm shades, soft to the touch. Eyes are light blue, light brown or light green, light eyebrows and eyelashes, lips in warm shades. Spring people usually sunbathe badly.
For daytime makeup, use pastel colors: beige, sand, gold and cream. And for the evening – brighter coral, lilac and purple colors. Lips in the spring version are warm, pale pink. Therefore, lipstick in pink natural colors will do.
The shade of the summer skin is usually set-pink, light gray, the skin is smooth, without fluff. The eyes are gray, blue-gray or brown. Lips are pale. The skin accepts tanning well. Shadows should be chosen in subtle, blurry, cool shades. lips of this type have a soft pinkish color. The summer type of appearance does not tolerate bright, pretentious cosmetics.
However, if a summer woman has a sufficiently contrasting appearance within the framework of her color type (light face and dark hair), then her lips can be made up and brighter.
