You need to prepare not only your body for a seaside vacation, but also a cosmetic bag! We will tell you how to look irresistible even under the hot sun.
Any girl dreams of looking amazing on the beach. And how to create a beauty look without the right tools and makeup hacks? Which cosmetic products are not afraid of salt spray or the scorching sun, which make-up is appropriate on the beach, and which summer makeup trends are really worth looking at? The art director, leading teacher and makeup artist of the ARTBANDA school-studio Daria Bogatova tells about this to the readers of Wday.ru.
Girls who may not wear makeup at all and still be at their best can only be envied. But there are many of us who feel insecure without makeup. There are circles under the eyes, here is a treacherous pimple … It is inappropriate to impose a dense tone on the beach, and the risk that cosmetics will flow at any moment is extremely high. But makeup artists know a couple of secrets. Now I will tell you about them.
As a base for makeup on the beach, it is better to choose a sunscreen moisturizer with very high UV protection – about SPF-15, and for very sensitive skin – SPF-30. Don’t forget to protect the delicate skin around your eyes from the sun, and choose a caring balm with a UV filter or lipstick for your lips.
An ordinary foundation will melt very quickly in the merciless heat. The BB cream with SPF protection will perfectly cope with the task of light toning, smoothing out imperfections and protecting the skin from aggressive external influences. Despite the fact that almost only creamy products are involved in the beach make-up option (therefore it is customary to call it “wet”), on the beach you can also use light mineral powder with sunscreen components and vitamins A and E.
If at the beginning of your holiday you want to give pale skin a warmer shade or emphasize an existing tan, you can use a bronzer. The main thing is to shade the product well so that it does not look like foreign stripes on the skin. The bronzer will sharpen the contours of the face, and the shimmer will give the skin a healthy and radiant look.
When making eye makeup, it is better to refuse from eyeliner and shadows with a liquid texture, so that the make-up does not smudge due to the high humidity of the air. For those who still really want to emphasize their eyes with something else besides waterproof mascara, it is recommended to use a waterproof eyeliner. You can, for example, line your lower eyelid with blue kayal and paint over the eyelashes with turquoise mascara to achieve a mermaid look that is fashionable this season, and discipline your eyebrows with a waterproof eyebrow pomade. If you don’t have cream shadows at hand, you can apply a transparent lip gloss to the eyelids – it will add sexuality and attractiveness to the look. Plus, the water, flowing down the shine, will not be able to lubricate the makeup. In combination with colored shadows, such a tandem will create a very bright, rich accent on the eyelids.
Due to the viscous consistency, lip glosses are constantly smeared in the wind, so a colored or transparent fortified balm of light consistency is suitable for the beach.
Lipstein gloss that is absorbed into the lips, leaving a delicate shade on them, is another useful find for beach lovers. It simultaneously eliminates stickiness and does not require careful painting of the contour.
Beach makeup should be discreet, in soft colors. It is advisable to choose a foundation with a golden color, and it is better to fix the eyebrows with a transparent gel. In the sun, shades of coffee, golden and light gray tones play very well, and for a beach party, azure, emerald or sapphire shades of shadows are suitable. Apply a waterproof terracotta blush in one stroke to enhance your natural tan.
In pursuit of a flawless way, do not apply one layer of cosmetics to the skin after another – it is better to thoroughly protect it from ultraviolet radiation and let it rest, in addition, today many well-known cosmetics brands offer special lines of tanning products. Naturalness, naturalness and natural tones are the basis of any fashionable beauty image this summer.
