Girls before and after makeup: photos, details, makeup artist advice

Makeup artist: Svetlana Gaidukova

The purpose of the transformation: correct irregularities on the skin, even out the tone, highlight the color of the eyes, increase the volume of the lips.

• In case of unevenness on the skin, it is necessary to choose the right corrective agents and tools. In this case, the correction was made with a thick, greasy concealer in beige and green shades. After the piercing, Anna left a puncture mark on her face. It needs to be masked with a beige corrector slightly lighter in skin tone. The product is applied with a brush with blotting movements. The green color of the concealer neutralizes red spots, but requires careful blending, possibly in two layers.

• Even skin tone to one shade is done with a flat and wide brush with a water-based foundation with a mattifying effect. This brush allows you to apply a layer in an even and thin layer.

• The make-up artist emphasized the color of the eyes and made the iris brighter thanks to the shades of pink, gray-green and purple colors: a thick, careless arrow is drawn for 2/3 of the century, it is shaded towards the inner corner of the eye. Shadows are applied on top. A chocolate shade – like an accent – was added to the outer corner of the eye. Shadows are applied to the base – for durability. You can use a light concealer as a base.

• To create the effect of fluffy and thick eyelashes, the mucous membrane of the upper eyelid is painted over with a black kayal pencil. This eyeliner will be imprinted immediately on the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. The lower eyelid is additionally drawn in with a pencil.

• To highlight the shape and visually enlarge the lips, a lip contour is applied and shaded a little. It is better to choose a lipstick 2 tones lighter than a pencil. It is important to keep the pencil soft, firm and sharp.

Anna’s comment:

– Usually I paint naturally, but I always wanted to experiment: for example, to highlight the eyes. But I myself did not take it – I was afraid. I’m happy with the result. And I liked that Svetlana was gradually telling me what she was doing with my face. It was a discovery for me that it is preferable to apply the foundation with a brush, and not with your fingers or a sponge. I have already got myself a special brush and am very happy. I was also advised a green concealer to mask acne – the advice was adopted. The makeup on the face did not cause any discomfort at all, there was no feeling of a mask or that the eyelashes would fall off under the weight of mascara. After visiting the makeup artist, I had a meeting with a friend – she appreciated my makeup!

The purpose of transformation: Even out skin tone, hide bruises under the eyes, highlight lip color.

• The corrector is applied under the eyes, on the nose, center of the forehead and chin – it hides imperfections and mattifies the skin. The main thing is to apply the product in a small amount so that it does not flow in the heat and does not create a mask effect. Skin is smoothed with foundation, which is mixed with moisturizer to soften the texture.

• Peach shadows are applied over the base on the eyelids, the fold and outer corner of the eyes are highlighted with shadows of hazelnut and coffee shades. To soften the difference between dark shadows and skin tones, peach shadows are shaded over the top.

• Now, wide eyebrows are in trend, so they need to be emphasized from below for clarity, and then shaded, combing strictly from the bottom up. Underline the lower border with concealer – the line will become clearer.

• To make the look expressive, the eyeliner should be drawn on 2/3 of the eyes – it is not as bright as a regular arrow. It is important to take a soft pencil to easily shade it – shaded “in a haze”, it will look even more natural.

• Ksenia has small bruises under her eyes, so a concealer is applied to the area under the eyes, and shadows of a skin tone are applied on top. Thanks to this, the redness at the lower eyelash edge will go away, the look will immediately become fresh.

• Malachite mascara was applied to Xenia’s eyelashes – it emphasizes the green color of the eyes. And on top – a thin layer of black ink – it will give expressiveness. The lower eyelashes should be left unpainted for daytime makeup. If you paint them, you will have to add saturation to the entire makeup.

• Use a dark corrector to slightly highlight the cheekbones to emphasize them.

• On the apples of the cheeks – a little berry blush.

• Xenia’s skin is oily, so the top of the makeup needs to be fixed with powder.

• Berry matte lipstick is applied to match the blush.

• And to make the skin shimmer beautifully in the sun, add a little highlighter above the cheekbone and upper lip.

Xenia’s comment:

– I love light everyday makeup: BB cream, concealer, blush, eyebrow pencil are my everyday companions! The makeup artist’s makeup was just the way I like it – everyday, light, discreet! I will take into account the trick with painting over the space between the eyelashes – the look has become more expressive! Since I am the mother of a young active boy, this is reflected in the skin under the eyes. The make-up artist coped with this task: she hid the bruises under the eyes and redness, the look became fresher and more rested!

The purpose of transformation: eyebrow line harmonization, natural light makeup for every day, mattifying effect for combination skin.

• First, the makeup artist corrected the shape of Irina’s eyebrows using tweezers: she visually “raised” the eyebrow, created a “kink”. And Irina’s look became lighter, more playful. The makeup artist highlighted the brow line with a light brown pencil.

• The mucous membrane of the upper eyelid was brought up by 2/3, an inter-eyelash arrow was drawn on top of a third of the eye – this made the eye makeup clean, neat, natural and raised the corner of the eye.

• The reddish shade of the hair was emphasized with chameleon shadows with a pink overflow, the corners of the eyes were shaded with green. Red-haired girls are also suitable for purple shades. And under the color of Irina’s eyes, all colors will be good, except for blue. Do not use black eyeshadow here – it will overload the makeup.

• The tone of the lipstick matches Irina’s natural lip pigment. The contour line on the lips is made with a thin line with shading, so that the color of the lips does not change.

• Irina’s face is oval, but close to an inverted triangle, so the chin was darkened during the correction.

• A mattifying effect in makeup is achieved with a light, rice-based powder. The tone of the powder is slightly lighter than the real tone of the skin.

• A gentle blush of a cold shade, shaded higher to the temples, added freshness to the image.

Irina’s comment:

“Usually I don’t wear makeup at all! But I liked this makeup. The face became brighter, fresher. I was especially impressed by the new shape of the eyebrows: the eyes seemed to become larger, and the gaze more open. Overall, my image has become lighter. I will definitely come back here for eyebrow shaping!

The purpose of transformation: lighten the skin under the eyes, hide the birthmark, focus on the lips.

• To hide the birthmark, you need to apply a concealer with a thick layer of patting movements even before the foundation. Next, a light concealer is applied to the areas that need to be lightened: under the eyes, on the center of the nose, center of the forehead, chin, under the cheekbone. He will hide the flaws and emphasize the merits. The rule of all makeup artists: what you want to hide – we darken, what needs to be highlighted – we highlight. The fact is that when you apply a foundation, “volumes” leave the face, and it becomes “flat”. Color grading helps bring those volumes back to the right places.

• A bit of foundation is applied to the lips as well to brighten the lipstick. The cheekbones are accentuated with dark powder.

• Eyebrows are dyed using this technology: take a pencil, apply it to the wing of the nose towards the temples through the outer corner of the eye. The ideal brow should end in this line.

• The corner of the eye was darkened with shadows, and then they were shaded all over the eyelid. As an eyeliner, you can use a malachite pencil – it suits brown eyes and the model’s dress.

• Eyelashes are painted with emerald mascara, and on top – black. So they will be of the usual black color, but in the sun a subtle shade will appear, which will favorably emphasize the color of the eyes.

• Finally, a blush-like lipstick is applied.

Valeria’s comment:

– The makeup seemed unusual, but it suited me very much! It turned out that the right lipstick, although bright, can easily become one of the everyday tools of the cosmetic bag. Previously, in makeup, I tried to highlight the eyebrows and eyes using arrows along the entire length of the eyelid. But the makeup artist, on the contrary, emphasized my lips, and applied unobtrusive, light shadows on the eyelids. This is how I like myself and, perhaps, will reconsider my makeup habits. I will leave unchanged only the indifference to the foundation. Applied in several layers, he, of course, evened out the tone of the face, but at the same time revealed minor irregularities.

The purpose of the transformation: even out the tone of the face, emphasize the line of the eyebrows.

• Alena has tanned skin, so it is important to choose a shade of foundation that will not whiten her face. To do this, you need to check the skin on the neck and arms.

• All shades of shadows have been used on the eyelids – from peach in the inner corner of the eye to hazel in the outer. The absence of sharp transitions between colors creates a natural effect.

• The eyeliner line can be pulled up a little to raise and enlarge the eye. For naturalness, it is shaded and “taken away” to the outer corner of the eye. So the gaze becomes open and wide open. Above – purple shadows, they will add saturation and depth. The lower eyelid is lined with peach shadows that will hide the slight redness under the eyes.

• You can add a drop of emerald mascara to the eyelashes – Alena’s eyelashes are gorgeous by nature, so the makeup artist’s task is to just add a little shade that will make the eye color brighter.

• Alena has a warm type of appearance, so peach blush will suit her.

• On the lips – matte lipstick in berry shade.

Alena’s comment:

– I’m a model and I have enough makeup at work. Therefore, in my life I try to use cosmetics as little as possible. For exits, I emphasize the eyes, lips, I have a negative attitude to the tonal basis. Natural makeup was chosen today. I liked how the look was emphasized – it turned out very beautifully. But I don’t use lipstick like that in my life – it was unusual. Overall, however, I liked everything.

Makeup artist’s tip: Wash off makeup with a face wash to degrease and tighten pores. To prepare your skin for makeup, tone it with micellar fluid. Do not use alcohol-based toner! It is a mistake to think that such a product mattifies the skin and prepares it for makeup.

The purpose of the transformation: lifting makeup, raise the corners of the eyes, add volume to the lips, hide age spots.

• With aging skin (it is considered this from 35 years old), you cannot use thick foundation creams – they will only emphasize the skin’s relief. Therefore, in Anna’s makeup, only a concealer and concealer are used – they perfectly mask age spots.

• We added volume to the eyebrows – they look harmonious when they are about the same width as the upper lip.

• So that the shadows are not imprinted on the lower eyelid and are brighter, a base is applied under the shadows. The skin absorbs all the ingredients that we put on it, and the base becomes that layer that prevents the absorption of shadows, which increases their durability. The base should be applied in a thin layer to avoid rolling. Peach shadows are applied on top of the entire eyelid, and a crease is drawn on the eyelid with a coffee shade of shadows. Use a peach eye shadow brush to blend the transitions of different shades.

• The inter-eyelash arrow is drawn on 2/3 of the eyes; it expands to the outer corner. The line should be taken up – this will visually raise the corner. Important factor: for age-related makeup, the arrows should be drawn with the eye open, slightly lifting the eyelid so that the line is even. Blend the pencil well. Anna has blue-green eyes – blue-violet shades suit her. These shadows need to “duplicate” the arrow and additionally emphasize the crease of the eyelid to the middle of the eye. To add depth to the look, add a gray pencil over the shadows.

• First, purple, then black mascara is applied to the eyelashes.

• Women over 35 are not recommended to use a highlighter – it will add vulgarity and accentuate wrinkles.

• Therefore, Anna only darkened her cheekbones with dark powder, on top – a slight blush.

• The lips are painted using the ombre technique: a natural shade of lipstick is applied to the center, and a wine shade is applied along the edges. This 3D effect makes the lips appear more voluminous.

Anna’s comment:

– Of course, I’m used to painting in a completely different way, simpler. I really liked how Maria evened out my complexion, highlighted and emphasized the dignity. Of course, I tried to remember how she did it, but I’m afraid I can’t repeat it on my own. I was surprised that she used blue eye shadow and blue mascara, but it looked very natural, blue only added some mystery to the look. Perhaps I will take this into service. Maria explained to me that everything very much depends on shade and moderation. Vulgarity can be avoided by mixing blue with black or gray, just add a little blue tint. It is also better to mix blue mascara with black, then the blue glow on the eyelashes will only be noticeable when illuminated at a certain angle – and it will look interesting.

The purpose of the transformation: face shape correction, cocktail makeup option, cold lip camouflage.

• A thin layer of foundation is applied to the skin with a brush.

• Correction of a round face is performed using the contouring technique: a dark corrector is applied to the cheekbones and lower jaw towards the ear. It darkens the face along the hairline from temple to temple: thus, the shape of the face becomes more oval.

• The correct shape of the eyebrows also helps to correct the oval of the face: it is better to avoid pronounced angles in the eyebrow line by drawing a soft horizontal line.

• It is better to fix the correction with two shades of powder – light and dark.

• The eye makeup is accentuated on the outer corner. The pencil is first applied to the outer corner of the eye for 1/3 of the century, shaded, on top – shadows of a dark shade. The third line is applied with a brush over the shadows in the shape of an arrow. In this case, the outer corner is visually raised.

• The eyelash line is worked out with a kayal pencil. Blue, graphite and pink shades of the eyeshadows made the look clear, emphasized the color of the eyes. Shades are mixed with each other using a round brush. To do this easily, you must first apply dark shades, and then a light shade from the inner corner of the eye “enter” into a dark tone. The lower eyelid is drawn with a soft line of gray-green shadows by 1/3.

• Black mascara is selected, after the first layer, the eyelashes are combed with a special metal comb, the second layer is applied only to a third of the outer corner of the eyes.

• Cocktail makeup involves lip and eye makeup of the same intensity. The color of the pencil and lipstick is chosen two tones darker than the color of the lips, it is of a cold shade, matte texture.

• A cold on the lower lip is corrected with a dense green corrector with a blotting motion so as not to spread the lesion further. The same movement is applied in this place and lipstick. It is better to do this with another brush and then be sure to process the tool.

• Cold baked blush is applied in a rotating motion from the middle of the cheek to the temple, creating a soft color on the cheekbones.

Anna’s comment:

– I liked everything! Makeup artist – a professional in her field – gave a lot of advice on skin care during make-up. She talked about eye brushes – it turns out that it is better to choose natural, not artificial, because they shade better and apply shadows more gently. I also liked the advice, use a brush instead of a pencil for eyeliner.

Makeup artist: Svetlana Gaidukova

The purpose of the transformation: makeup with an emphasis on the eyes, the use of smokey ice techniques in daytime makeup, skin tone correction.

• According to all the rules of makeup, smokey ice makeup refers to the evening version. Initially, it was performed in black and gray saturated color, with a clear line of eyeliner on both the upper and lower eyelids.

• Eyelash extensions accentuated the contrast in the makeup. You can also use false eyelash tufts with an emphasis on the outer corner. This makeup is done using the pencil technique using a dense base under the eyeshadow. Using a light base under the eyeshadow in the form of a dry concealer, the color on the eyelid becomes less intense. And by choosing pencils-kayals of gray and brown shades, you can make this type of makeup more daytime.

• Skin tone is evened out with a light foundation.

• The eyebrow line is drawn with a dark brown pencil, and the color is applied with a brush with a beveled edge.

• Shades of shadows were chosen taking into account Maria’s brown eyes: from black-brown to gray-brown shades. A bright terracotta tone is applied to the movable eyelid – it is in perfect harmony with the hair color. In this case, the color shade is applied on top of all dark shades. So that it does not get absorbed by black, it is better to choose a pearlescent shade and apply it with blotting movements with a flat brush – this way the mother of pearl is not lost.

• The line between the eyelashes is worked out with a black-brown pencil, which makes the eye makeup dim. A soft line of liquid eyeliner is made along the entire length of the eyelid. The lower eyelid is not worked out separately with a kayal, since a thin line has already been imprinted from the upper inter-eyelash line.

• Black ink, voluminous.

• The pastel tone of the lipstick makes the lip line neat, but at the same time the accent in the makeup is on the eyes. A pencil is used to thicken the color on the lips. The color is “stretched” with a dense brush over the entire area of ​​the lips from the outer corner to the center. The lipstick is applied evenly in two thin layers.

Mary’s comment:

– I have never painted my eyes so brightly, so it was a pleasant surprise for me that smokey ice suits me! I will definitely learn this technique and use makeup for evening looks. I liked the shade of lipstick, but it was pearlescent. In my everyday makeup I would use exactly the same color as Svetlana used, only matte.

The purpose of transformation: lifting makeup, masking age spots.

• Pigment spots are masked with a concealer and corrector, and a foundation is applied on top. The bend on the right eyebrow is slightly corrected so that they turn out to be the same.

• Peach eyelids are applied to the eyelids to even out the skin color. On the outer corner of the eye, the makeup artist applied and shaded pearlescent shadows of a complex shade with her fingers: swamp green with tints of gold. The fold of the eyelid is drawn with shadows a little higher than it really is – this will raise your gaze. With peach shadows, the border between the shadows is shaded with a pencil brush – this way the shade “stretches” towards the eyebrows. In the center, you can again add peach shadows with your finger.

• An arrow is drawn with a black pencil from the beginning of the eyelash growth line (you need to step back a few millimeters from the inner corner of the eye).

• Now mascaras are next in line: the first layer is green, the second is black. Only after the mascara is the arrow drawn with an eyeliner-marker, the cilia have become thicker, they will not let the eyeliner spread. The lower eyelid is drawn in with a dark green pencil, the line is slightly wider towards the outer corner. For overflow, you can add a little purple pencil to the dark green. With dark blue shadows using a flat brush, the crease of the eyelid is highlighted, the eyeliner is extended slightly upward. We carefully extinguish everything with walnut shadows – there should be no visible transitions.

• On the lips, a lipstick-gloss of a ripe peach shade is applied. When the lips are nourished, a long-lasting matte lipstick lays on top.

Catherine’s comment:

– My husband loves it when I’m not made up. But I love makeup. True, with age, I notice that it began to take more time. Now you need to avoid mother-of-pearl and bright shades – they strive to add years! I saw myself in the reflection after makeup – and it seemed to me that it was not me. Evening makeup, bright. I really liked it. I will take note for an identical exit.

Makeup artist: Svetlana Gaidukova

The purpose of the transformation: make-up under glasses in order to highlight the eyes, to show the option of multicolor in the make-up.

• The color on the eyelid draws attention to the eyes, which is necessary when making up under glasses. And we no longer see glasses as a necessity, we perceive them as an accessory.

• The main rule of chromatic makeup is the combination of colors. Second rule: shades should be of the same matte texture. The ideal base for eyeshadow is a dry concealer with reflective beige particles. It is he who gives the effect of radiance from the inside. Elena uses yellow, red, orange, green, blue, purple in her eyelid makeup.

• A sloppy line is drawn with a gray-brown pencil, which highlights the outer corner of the eye and forms the intended area of ​​application of the shadows. Starting from the inner corner of the eye, shades are “blotted out”, “introducing” one color into another: red, orange, green, blue. Color borders are aligned with a yellow tint. The outer corner of the eye is filled with a purple hue and fills in the entire planned shape. Blue connects purple and green. Apply symmetrically to both eyes.

• A highlighter is applied under the eyebrow line to make the makeup look neat.

• A clear contour line from the inner corner to the outer corner with an arrow element made it possible to highlight the shape of the eye. The eyeliner line should be thin and clear.

• The lower eyelid is highlighted with a light beige shade of shadows along the planned color area with emphasis on the outer corner, which also emphasizes the shape of the eye.

• Lips in this make-up should be “delicious”. A contour is applied, it is shaded over the entire area of ​​the lips, on top is a matte shade of a dusty rose lipstick. The outer corner of the lips is drawn again with a pencil to make it darker. In the center of the lower lip, a bright pink tone of lipstick with mother-of-pearl is applied to add volume and create an ombre effect.

Elena’s comment:

– I was in a beauty salon for the first time, but definitely not the last. In the process of creating makeup, make-up artist Svetlana made it possible to compare the result before and after applying any product, which helped to see dramatic changes. In addition, she gave advice on makeup: how to highlight the dignity of my face, hide flaws. I really liked the result! I would never have used such bright shadows, afraid to look wild, but Svetlana played up everything so that before my eyes a beautiful sunset turned out!

Makeup artist advice! The effect of “kissed” lips is in vogue – when the contour is indistinct and blurred. But in age-related makeup, it is worth observing the clarity of the eyeliner line. When the skin becomes less elastic, the effect of “kissed” lips looks like sloppy.
