Makeup trends from Elena Krygina for 2017
Red or pink? Arrows or shadows? Every season brings something new to our cosmetic bag. Woman’s Day asked top makeup artist and beauty blogger Elena Krygina, whose first book “Makeup” was published by “ODRI” publishing house, about what we should buy this spring, what make-up to make for the first date and about many other things.
The most banal trend “clean face” has not left the catwalk for five years now and is not going to go anywhere. It can be used as a quick make-up or as a foundation for a more formal look.
The draping technique from the 70s will come, that is, when face correction, cheekbones and sculpture are performed using blush.
From the 90s, metallic eyes and lips have returned, namely, metallic lipsticks, persistent liquid shadows, eyeliners of all colors and shades – and always bright, juicy.
Makeup in one shade will also come into fashion. For example, when we take a shade of plum for the lips and broadcast it to the eyes, blend it to the temples, cheeks.
Arrows, like jeans, do not go out of fashion, but they change: sometimes thin, sometimes wide feline, broken, graphic, neon, double, like Cleopatra’s, and so on. But you can never draw only arrows and look cool. In this case, your eyes will be swollen, your cheeks will be thick, and you will be swollen like a pig. The same goes for the lips. You can’t just make up them and become a beauty. An unaligned skin tone will kill any red lipstick and arrowheads on the eyes, because the nasolabial folds will become noticeable, the proportions of the face will be disturbed. The only thing that has the right to exist is an even tone plus well-groomed eyebrows, and then everything is cool.
If you need to be blooming as soon as you get out of bed, then there are two options. The first is to use a gentle night peel. These products are similar in texture to emulsions or serums and contain fruit acids, which, unlike a scrub, do not scrub, but gradually exfoliate the upper stratum corneum and do not violate the protective membrane of the skin. They can be alternated with moisturizing night masks that are as thick as a cream. But I do not advise you to carry out such procedures every day, only once or twice a week.
The second option: apply a loose or pressed mineral powder on the face with a wide large brush at night. And wake up not so swollen. Mineral cosmetics (and talc is a mineral) does not allow the liquid to stagnate in the tissues and does not harm the skin, it does not even need to be washed off.
No red lipstick will look great on dry, chapped lips. This area should be given special attention.
Massage the revitalizing balm daily. Leave it on your lips until they are colored.
Use a mild lip scrub once a week or before using Super Long Lasting Matte Lipstick. Apply a little, massage with your finger, remove with a damp cloth and use lip balm as a mask. If you don’t have a scrub, go for thick honey, or mix sugar with lip balm.
If the chin practically does not have a clear outline and gently passes into the neck, it is necessary to darken the space under it along the border of the face and neck with a gray shade corrector.
Your task is to create a shadow on the neck, as if from a sculpted chin. To clearly see where you are applying the product, tilt your head back slightly.
First, paint thickly only the roots, lightly press on them, this will raise the eyelashes.
After the bulk of the mascara from the brush settles on the roots, the optimal amount of product will remain on it for dyeing the length.
With a slightly vibrating motion, stretch the mascara along its entire length, and at the ends, roll the brush towards you.
After that, comb the eyelashes several times with a brush, without recruiting additional mascara.
Color the lower lashes easily, the more mascara you put on them, the more heavy your makeup looks.
I don’t remember my first dates, but I often see strangers, because I don’t have a kitchen at home, I eat in a cafe. And to be honest, I have more complaints not about makeup, but about hairstyles. Styling must be!
I think that men first of all look at whether you are healthy or consumptive, suitable for procreation or not. Therefore, a healthy glow is needed, which shows that hemoglobin is normal, and the hair is well-groomed. This is how you have to make an impression.
Cosmetics are getting smarter. All products are gradually becoming multifunctional. For example, cream eyeshadow can be used as a highlighter and as a blush.
Most foundations come with an immediate concealer function, that is, with the ability to fill in dark circles under the eyes.
BB and CC creams even out skin tone for us.
The decorative cosmetics market has survived all the crises and, on the contrary, has succeeded! Do you know why? If a girl cannot afford a fur coat, then she can always please herself with lipstick.
Airplanes themselves are not harmful transport; pressure and dry air, which affect the vessels, are to blame for all the troubles. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for the flight, introduce contrast procedures – in a few days, start washing with hot and cold water in order to tone the vessels.
If we can put on compression stockings on our legs, then on our face, alas, not, although I would gladly wear one, because I don’t want to walk with burst capillaries.
It is useless to do anything in flight, since both the air and the pressure have already changed. Here any mask and thermal water will work in the opposite direction. The safety factor must be created before takeoff, while the plane has not yet gained altitude. We sat down in the salon, immediately put patches under the eyes, applied a moisturizing mask and fly like this until the button “Fasten the seat belts” goes out.
The most harmful for cosmetics is direct sunlight and a shelf in the refrigerator. If the shelf life is a year, then if stored improperly, divide this figure by three, and as a result, you will get the number of months of your product’s life. More precisely, his fragrances, it will become unpleasant and you are unlikely to like it.
Foundation and concealer, since they contain water, can become moldy, but lipstick does not care, in principle, it rarely deteriorates, only if it was of poor quality initially.
And with tools, drying is the main thing. Was the brush washed, squeezed badly and put on the table? Water will accumulate in its holder in the glue layer, it will exfoliate, and the pile will climb or it will fray. The problem with sponges is that they absorb everything into themselves. They need to be washed well, wrung out by hand, through a towel, and then put in a dry place.
