I want to be beautiful always, and especially in spring. But to catch rave glances on yourself, you need to try. For example, it is wise to use such a powerful means of transformation as makeup.
How to make a refreshing spring make up, what products to use and what to avoid, Woman’s Day found out from a professional. Visagiste Ekaterina Khokhlova not only told, but also showed how to do a light daytime makeup.
At first, make-up base is fresh skin. In spring, you want freshness, youth, brightness, so the closest attention should be paid to smooth, well-groomed skin. Light tonal creams can help in this: BB or CC and a toning fluid that has not a dense, but a lighter airy texture. I also advise girls to apply reflective bases, which, as it were, illuminate the face from the inside without creating excessive shine.
Secondly, in spring makeup, it is important to use universal products, such as blush-lipstick. These funds have recently been very popular, so it will not be difficult to choose your own shade (watermelon, berry, salmon, coral). The product has a creamy texture and can be applied to cheeks and lips. It moisturizes the skin and looks very natural. Such a product is produced, for example, by NARS, Yves Saint Laurent.
Young girls should pay special attention to eye makeup. It should be light, so it is better to use satin eyeshadows (not matte, but also without a lot of mother-of-pearl). When applied, they fit well, their glow is almost imperceptible, but at the same time they look beautiful and natural.
Now about the eyebrows. Their shape has now changed, it has become more straight, not so curved and diagonally ascending upward. This gives additional lifting to the face. Eyebrows also need to be monitored. There are a lot of means for caring for them now: these are fondants, and gels, and waxes. Gels and sweets are denser and have more pigment. If you have good brows, a gel (either slightly tinted or clear) will suffice.
Whip up makeup
First, cleanse and moisturize your skin. Then apply a reflective concealer. If the skin is problem-free, we don’t use the tonal base, if you need to correct something, apply the toning fluid. Then eyebrow shadows. We take powder light, rice or transparent, that is, transparent. It is almost invisible on the face, it only mattifies the skin. Further – satin shadows. You can use a pencil that works well for both the arrow and the lash line, which will give the lashes a thicker look. The final touch is applied blush-lipstick. Fresh spring makeup is ready!
“Shadow” question
Matching eye shadows. Blue eyes are always emphasized by golden, peach, golden brown shades. For brown-eyed, olive, red-brown, inky blue and purple colors are preferable. Violet, pink, brown tones are suitable for green eyes.
Important: when choosing shadows, you need to take into account the natural color of a person. That is, you do not need to focus only on the eyes, the skin tone and hair color are also taken into account.
If we talk about everyday life, it is better not to use purple, green, red shadows (we will leave them for pretentious events). I think brown is the ideal color for every day. This color suits everyone. It’s just that someone needs a colder shade, someone a warmer one. You can also vary both the saturation and color temperature.
Professional tips
1. Better underpainting than oversaturated makeup. Girls, do not overdo it with a tonal foundation!
2. A common mistake – when toning the face, but not toning the neck and ears. Avoid her!
3. Don’t get carried away with contouring. Many people apply contouring products too aggressively, and it shows. Bright contouring is only suitable for a photo shoot.
4. Many people use makeup bases on a daily basis to keep it better. I do not recommend doing this on a daily basis. They still have a rich composition, the skin can get used to and deteriorate.
