How to do your own makeup: makeup artist tips

Eye Makeup

Looking for sexy eye makeup? Draw arrows that will make the look deep and expressive. Do not try to draw arrows in a single line. It is better to move in stages from the middle of the eye to the outer corner, and then draw from the middle to the inner corner. Do not close your eyes when drawing arrows. If you are not sure that the line will turn out straight, it is better not to use liquid eyeliner. It is worth taking a pencil or creamy eyeliner on a brush. Before drawing arrows on the eyes, it is better to powder the eyelids. And when the arrow is ready, you should shade it well so that it does not look rough.

It is immediately striking if the arrows are drawn in front of your eyes by a trembling hand. Even the smallest blots are very noticeable in eye makeup. Therefore, you need to fix your hand when you apply makeup. Put your elbows on the table, put your little finger on the lower eyelid – and you already feel more confident.

Lip augmentation

One of my favorite tricks for plumping up lips is the two-tone mix. The right combination of your two favorite colors can have a fantastic effect. To enlarge your lips, don’t be afraid to mix different lipstick tones, experiment! And for the lips to look perfect, it is important not only to apply lipstick correctly. It is necessary that the lips are well-groomed. Can’t choose your color – explore what shades of lipstick do stars choose.

Foundation

It is worth trying to choose a foundation to match the color of the neck. It sounds strange, but this way girls can avoid the mask effect on their faces. Another little trick is to apply the tone with a natural sea sponge. Even if there is no experience in makeup, the product will be perfectly distributed over the face. Concealers of different shades will help to even out the complexion and make the skin tone perfect. Yellow helps to hide blue under the eyes, greenish removes redness, light pink will relieve the face of an earthy color, and purple will give an aristocratic pallor. It is important that the color of the concealer matches well with the color of the foundation and powder.

Eyebrow shape

It is better to entrust the care of the shape of the eyebrows to a professional. Talk to your makeup artist – he will determine the shape of your face and dominant features. The fact is that prominent facial features are more combined with well-visible eyebrows, and not too thick and light eyebrows are suitable for soft features.

With color it is easier: for blondes it should be a tone darker than hair, for brunettes – a tone lighter. For eyebrow shading, it is better to choose shadows or pencils with a smoky shade, that is, sand shades – for blondes, for brown-haired and red-haired women – gray-brown.

To make the eyebrows look natural, I recommend shading them. They have more coloring pigment, this gives a natural look, looks great. It is better to tint the eyebrows with jerky movements, as if drawing feathers. It is worth paying attention to mousses and eyebrow styling gels. The mousse will add volume to thin eyebrows, and the gel will create the desired shape.

How to Get Rid of Acne

Covering pimples with foundation can be difficult. The product lays down unevenly, and the redness remains – this is an eternal problem for many girls. We spend money and time hiding skin imperfections instead of taking care of problem skin. Therefore, the first piece of advice is to see a cosmetologist.

As for makeup, there are special gels and creams that need to be applied to the breakouts to reduce redness. There is a little secret. To reduce redness, you can apply eye drops to the area of ​​concern. Since they have a vasoconstrictor effect, the redness will disappear immediately.

After that, be sure to apply a makeup base, for example, moisturizing creamso that the makeup lies flat. Next, we proceed to masking pimples – apply concealer. Redness is best hidden with green concealers. Try to choose a concealer that will not only mask acne but also heal your skin. These products usually contain salicylic acid or tea tree extract. After applying concealer, work on your foundation and finish off your face by applying powder.

Cheeks

Are you dreaming of highlighting your cheekbones? First you need to make sure that you really need it. There are many faces with prominent cheekbones. In this case, it is better to visually make the face flatter – this will add femininity. If a girl needs to emphasize her cheekbones, then it is worth using a powder one or two shades darker than the main tone of the face, or a bronzer. You can apply the product on the cheek under the bone and blend in an upward circular motion. If you want to visually sharpen your face, you can slightly darken the areas of the temples and in the middle of the forehead, very close to the hairline. You can apply a little dark powder even under the chin and blend along the line of the lower jaw – this will outline the oval of the face, emphasize the shape.

Makeup mistakes

One of the most common makeup mistakes the fact that girls buy new makeup products to use especially for an important occasion, and do not test them the day before. Even the most expensive eyeliner that looks perfect can leak after an hour or trigger an allergic reaction. Therefore, I advise you to do a test makeup a couple of days before the important date.
