We conducted a beauty experiment together with make-up artist Elena Moldovan, a member of the “Transformation” column on the Friday! TV channel. And here’s what happened.
With the help of makeup, you can radically transform your face – everyone knows that. For example, remove chubby cheeks, make an oval more pronounced, emphasize the relief with a round face, etc. Of course, a high-quality make-up requires professional knowledge and skills. But we hasten to reassure: many of them are so simple that any girl can do it. So, our expert – make-up artist Elena helps to reveal the secrets of makeup for slim women and girls with appetizing shapes.

The first step is contouring
There is no universal makeup that looks the same on both skinny and plump girls. But there is sculpting that can highlight the advantages and hide the flaws of any face shape. The main thing is to arm yourself with tonal foundations, special tools, a palette of powders or a bronzer and a highlighter. This make-up technique is ideal for every type, the only difference is in the texture of the product that is used. “The creamy texture is a frequent choice for curvy women looking for a more symmetrical face and a canonical oval shape. The dry texture gently corrects, helping to create expressive cheekbones, makes the silhouette of the nose more graceful, refreshes the skin tone, ”our expert advises. If the face needs to be “thinned”, then the bottom of the chin, its lateral parts, the hairline and cheekbones are darkened. Simply put, everything that needs to be reduced is darkened, and for the opposite effect – highlighting – we use the highlighting technique.
Focus on the eyes
Each girl is beautiful and unique, and little makeup tricks will only help to emphasize her individuality. When choosing between eyeshadow and eyeliner, you should pay attention to the shape of the eyes. For example, the almond shape is distinguished with clearly traced arrows, if there is a heavy upper eyelid (or overhanging), and in plump girls this shape is often observed, then you do not need to emphasize the eyelid with eyeliner. In this case, apply a soft line with shadows. “With“ puffy ”eyes, it is strictly forbidden to create clear boundaries and lines; give preference to“ smokey ice ”or a shaded arrow. And for a greater opening of the gaze, focus on the eyelashes, ”added Elena.
Do not select lips
Girls with a full face should give preference to a natural range of lipsticks without excess shine. For slender persons, there are no restrictions in the palette. The main thing is that if the emphasis is on the lips, then the make-up of the eyes should be calm. “To visually narrow the oval of the face, do this“ trick ”: accentuate the central part of the lips with lipstick of a brighter shade than the corners, and carefully blend the transition.
Lipstick with a “natural” shade
Perfect curl of eyebrows
In order not to disturb the harmony in the make-up, it is not necessary to greatly change the natural shape of the eyebrows. If you leave them thick and thin towards the edges, then the cheeks on a full face will visually decrease, and the look will become more expressive. But it is not recommended for thin ones to have wide eyebrows. The ideal shape for a thin face should be light, not harsh and tweaked with a natural eyebrow shadow. Also, do not forget about the trend of the season “lively eyebrows” – the emphasis is on naturalness and naturalness.
Before the transformation
You don’t need to be a professional makeup artist in order to be able to highlight your merits. The main thing is to adhere to the basic rules and master easy make-up tricks.
