Don’t Do It: 8 Signs of Vulgar Makeup

For most women, the morning starts with makeup. For another beauty, this process is so worked out that she is able to draw arrows with one stroke and with her eyes closed. But everyone has mistakes. We figure out what women do wrong, and whether it is possible to learn how to make your beloved make-up as from a professional make-up artist.

“There are no limits to what women sometimes do with themselves, trying to“ paint ”a new face for themselves or following the latest trends and completely forgetting: what perfectly emphasizes the beauty of one can disfigure another,” says the director Beauty Industry Academy Tatiana Kravchenko. – Of course, you need to strive to create the perfect image. But ideal for each particular girl. And this will have to be learned. “

Today, the boundaries between professional and ordinary makeup are blurring, and every second fashionista considers it mandatory to have professional cosmetics in her arsenal. But after buying expensive textures (persistent, difficult to apply, brightly pigmented), the girl realizes that it is very difficult to work with them. It turns out that you need to learn how to use them in order to know what, how and where to apply, how much to type, what brushes to use.

There are many channels for teaching the art of visage now. But it is still worth studying not online, through videos on Youtube, but in real life. Everything turns out online quickly and beautifully, the videos of beauty bloggers are mesmerizing. But in fact, make-up is a very individual matter. Only a professional will tell you how to apply texture, how to touch the skin with a brush, where and what to apply, so as not to distort the appearance.

To make up emphasize your pros and “hide” the cons, you need to know the rules associated with the anatomy of the face. As a rule, beauty bloggers are girls with the right facial features. But most of us have our own characteristics; no two faces are alike. And make-up, as professionals say, should be “planted” on a specific face. Everything is important here: the relief and structure of the face, the features and color of the skin, the shape of the eyes. If you want to confidently do flawless makeup, of course, it is better to go to courses and get acquainted with all the laws of makeup.

There are many such courses now. For example, in our academy, you can choose programs from the individual course “Make up for yourself”, where you study “for yourself”, to short express courses in professional make-up. If this is a serious school, they will tell you about anatomy, and about the magical work of light and shadow, and about changing the proportions of the face using only cosmetics, and about textures and shades that are right for you, they will put a hand in working with brushes.

Always. And today the difference in color between the face and the neck is considered bad taste. Meanwhile, even within the face, our shades are different: the forehead is always darker than the lower part of the face. And if the color of the foundation is chosen incorrectly, it immediately catches the eye. You can have flawless makeup, flawless shading, perfectly matched colors. But as soon as the tone of the face differs from the skin tone, it crosses everything out.

What to do? Learn to choose your tone correctly, to align it. To do this, you can contact a consultant, or even better – take a short course like “Make-up artist for yourself” or an express course on make-up.

In the meantime, a tip: since the face sunbathes in summer, you need to change the shade of tone, and choose a light and durable texture that does not melt and does not flow in the sun. Buy a foundation one or two shades darker, but smaller, especially for summer. And as you acquire a tan, simply mix it in with your base product or use it yourself. This is both economical and reasonable. By the way, never match the tone by trying it on the back of your wrist. The veins are there, and your hands are not your face, the difference is obvious.

Its purpose is to fix the makeup, make it more resistant, get rid of the shine. This is the finishing touch of the make-up. It is a delusion to mistake powder for foundation.

Modern powder of HD quality – a very fine fine texture, in which the amount of pigment is reduced to a minimum. Such a powder will not be able to change the skin tone if you want to even out it. Unless you layer a lot of it. But then you dry out the skin, the powder will lie unevenly and create a plaster effect.

Do not be afraid to apply it all over your face with a light microlayer – the effect of a mask can only be obtained when the powder is applied thickly and in large volume.

Eyebrows should be well-groomed but natural. Lines clearly delineated on all sides are not welcome, and thinly plucked eyebrows can even add a few unnecessary years.

One of the most fashionable trends today is eyebrows without a clear outline at all. But if you cannot decide on this, then draw up only one outline – either at the top or at the bottom. The opposite side needs to be made softer, blended and simply combed the hairs with gel.

Where to highlight – top or bottom? It depends on the shape of the eyebrow. Highlighting the bottom contour will make your eye makeup more defined. We will get a calmer, more peaceful look, but the eyebrow will be lower. If we draw up the upper outline, we will emphasize the break in the eyebrow, which will give the image character.

If you choose a shadow color that matches the color of the eyes, you get a subtle haze effect. The color of the eyes becomes dull, as if blurred. It doesn’t look very contrasting, but the eyes just shine on the face.

If you want to emphasize the color of the eyes, to make it juicy, sonorous, you need to choose a shade opposite to the color of the eyes (knowledge of the color wheel will come in handy here). For blue eyes, apricot, bronze, golden gamut is suitable, for green eyes – peach and pinkish shades, and brown-eyed ones should try lilac, lilac or purple shades.

For some reason, many are sure that this is the most difficult thing in makeup. I would say it differently: it is a very important element, active, bright, capable of changing appearance. The wrong stroke can easily “drop” the eye. But we are trying to get rid of the falling lines on the face.

It is very important to place the arrow correctly. By the way, we have a one-day course devoted to this. In choosing an arrow, the shape of the eyes is very important – the shape of the arrow, the width and even the texture with which it is applied depends on it.

Ideally, the arrow is an imitation of a beautiful deflection of the eyelash edge and eyelash shadow. Depending on this, we choose its shape – sharp, flying, like in the punk style, or infantile, soft, curved in the style of the 50s.

A clear, glossy arrow drawn with permanent textures – for girls with a bright appearance. It becomes the main accent of makeup, and there is no need to match bright shadows or lipstick to it (except for red, this is a classic). If we are talking about an everyday version, it can be a very soft arrow with a blurry line, which literally lies in the eyelashes with a light veil, in the space between the eyelashes, leaving the eyelid zone only with a light transparent haze.

Otherwise, the lips, as if divided into different zones, will look smaller. If you still want to use an additional shade to outline your lips, then the contour and lipstick should be the same color, and the area around the lips can be highlighted with a light kayal. The lips will look fuller and more contoured.

In order for even unstable lipstick to last for a long time, you must first apply a pencil to the entire surface of the lips, and then apply the lipstick directly. In the summer, it is better to choose not lipstick, but gloss, and nude shades. In the evening, lipstick of any degree of brightness is allowed. By the way, on the catwalks you can now see models with blue, purple and even green lips.

This season’s trendy matte lipstick should only be applied to perfectly smooth lips. Use moisturizers to achieve the desired effect. And even if you do not use matte lipstick, do not forget about lip care, this is always relevant.
