From June 6 to 12, Sochi is hosting the most important film event of this year – the Kinotavr-2016 Film Festival. The official MAX Factor makeup artist Andrey Arbuzov told how he created stellar looks for the red carpet.
Svetlana Ivanova
To enter the red carpet, the actress Svetlana Ivanova chose a delicate feminine look and nude-look makeup. The most important thing in this makeup is the subtle application of all cosmetics.
Use Mastertouch Concealer before applying foundation. It will cover any redness and prepare the base for the main tone. With the Miracle Match foundation, we make a translucent coating, applying it with a special brush from the center to the periphery. Loose Powder sets the tone, while Crème Puff adds a fresh, natural glow to the cheekbones and under the eyebrow.
Pick up some gray-brown eyeshadows from the Smokey Eye Drama Kit palette on the brush and apply them to the upper eyelid and lower eyelash contour, blending well, making them almost invisible.
Use Masterpiece Black / Brown Mascara to paint over the upper and lower lashes in one layer. The lashes are perfectly separated and look natural. Comb and style the eyebrows with a special brush-comb from the Eyebrow Pencil and lightly paint over. Finish the makeup with a drop of Color Elixir in a natural shade.
Katerina Spitz
Actress Katerina Shpitsa appeared on the red carpet of “Kinotavr” like a sea goddess – very feminine and sensual. The soft-smoky makeup perfectly complemented this look. The actress has very good skin, so the face can not be overloaded with a tonal foundation, but only use Facefinity Compact powder.
With a shade of powder slightly darker than the main one, we work out the line of the cheekbones and the hairline for additional relief of the face. In eye makeup, we use golden brown shades of shadows from the Smokey Eye Drama Kit palette, actively painting over the upper and lower eyelids. For an even more expressive and deep look, fill in the lash line with a black Kohl Pencil.
False Lash Effect mascara perfectly completes eye makeup by increasing the volume of lashes from root to tip. Leave the lips fashionable and neutral with just a drop of Color Elixir gloss. To maintain the golden shade of the eyeshadow, you can apply the same shade to the middle of the lips.
Maria Shalaeva
This year Maria Shalaeva was a member of the jury of the full-length film competition at Kinotavr. For her new role, she chose an incredibly elegant look, which we supported with makeup with an emphasis on the eyes.
Apply Miracle Match foundation on the face and décolleté. It blends perfectly with the skin tone, does not overload the face, but at the same time hides all minor imperfections. We work on the cheekbones with Crème Puff blush, correcting the shape of the face and giving the image a fresh look. With a comb-brush from the Eyebrow Pencil, we style the hairs, and draw the shape with color and fill it.
Apply Kohl Pencil to the upper and lower eyelids as a base under the eyeshadow and blend well. Apply the charcoal shade of the Earth Spirits shadows over the pencil towards the temple. Paint over the upper and lower lashes with False Lash Effect mascara. Apply the first layer, let it dry and paint over again. This will make your eyelashes even more voluminous and fluffy. Paint over the lip contour with a Natural Color Elixir pencil and apply a thin layer of Lipfinity Longlasting Lipstick.
Marina Orlova
The actress Marina Orlova has very beautiful eyes, so it was decided to focus on them. Apply the Miracle Match foundation on the face, creating a slightly moist effect on the skin, as if stretching the product from the center to the periphery.
This technique refreshes the face, giving it a natural glow. In eye makeup, we use the classic smoky-eyes scheme, where the intensity of gray-black shadows from the Smokey Eye Drama Kit palette gradually increases from the inner to the outer corner of the eyes. Paint over the inner contour with black Kohl Pencil.
Several coats of Voluptuous False Lash Effect mascara will make the look even more expressive. We apply it with scrolling movements, lingering for a few seconds at the very roots. Carefully comb the eyebrows and paint over with the Eyebrow Pencil. To focus on the eyes, apply Lipfinity Longlasting Lipstick in a neutral shade to the lips.
The celebrities’ hairstyles were created by the Wella Professionals team using Eimi styling.
