Professional make-up at home: learning how to do it yourself? Video
Determining who wore makeup – an inexperienced girl or a professional make-up artist – is very easy for people close to the empire of fashion and beauty. For a novice beauty, cosmetics on the face are too noticeable, colors sometimes do not match, the lines do not emphasize, but hide their natural advantages. And a professional in make-up applies shadows, powder, lipstick so that they are almost invisible, but at the same time they retouch the flaws and highlight the advantages.

The secret to the success of professional makeup is even, shiny skin. Any cosmetics looks good on it, does not roll into lumps, does not clog into wrinkles. But perfect skin is rare. Therefore, makeup artists use special tools to make it smoother.
These funds are selected depending on the type of skin:
- for oily skin, professionals use a water-based leveling gel. It does not clog pores, removes shine and prevents cosmetics from blurring
- for mixed to normal skin, make-up artists choose a light cream. It has a moisturizing effect, evens out skin tone, hides fine wrinkles
- for dry skin, apply a dense cream with vegetable oils. It fixes cosmetics on the face, makes the skin shine, makes it smoother
And in home make-up, it is worth starting precisely with smoothing the skin, preparing it for applying makeup. Choose one of the products, apply it on your face, wait a few minutes for the composition to be absorbed, and only then apply powder or foundation.
The minimum set that should be in a home cosmetic bag: makeup base, foundation or powder, eyeshadow palette, pencil, mascara
After that, eye makeup is done. For daytime it is quite possible to do with a brown pencil and black ink. In the evening, you can add eye shadow and liquid eyeliner. First, a pencil or eyeliner is applied (along the line of the upper eyelid). Then step by step shadows and mascara. In daytime make-up, calm natural shades are acceptable, in the evening – bright ones, making the make-up festive.
After applying makeup to the eyes, pay attention to the cheekbones. You can highlight them with a darker powder or apply a tanned blush. The bright pink shades that were once in vogue are now used only to create oriental makeup, which is very suitable for brunettes with slanting eyes.
Lipstick is the final touch of makeup. During the day, it is better to use glitter instead. It makes lips juicy, bright, without shifting accents. With this tool, the makeup looks natural and very organic. But in the evening, lipstick will emphasize the solemnity of the make-up, make the image more sexy and open.

False eyelashes are quite difficult to use. The glue can get into the eyes or, conversely, drain and not fix the artificial hairs properly. And at the most inopportune moment, they just fall off.
How to properly emphasize the cheekbones, it is also better to learn from professional makeup artists.
