A few more life hacks for those who are just starting to master the basic rules of makeup.

  • To line your lower lashes, use a disposable plastic spoon. Place it under your eyes and apply mascara to your eyelashes: this way, all the excess will remain on the spoon, and will not be imprinted under the lower eyelids: you will not have to reapply concealer.
  • If you want to highlight your eyes effectively, but at the same time make your makeup look natural, use a highlighter. Add a little product to the inner corners of the eyes, as well as under the eyebrow on the protruding part, place a “highlight” in the center of the moving eyelid.

  • Most often, girls draw arrows on their eyes, looking straight ahead. Professionals advise to act differently: go as close as possible to the mirror, lift your chin slightly - and in this position, start applying eyeliner.

  • Do you want your shadows to look brighter on your eyes? Apply them on a white “base”, coloring the moving eyelid with a white pencil - completely or partially (if you are not using shadows, but bright eyeliner).

  • Another professional trick will help make your eyelashes visually longer. Using a curler, try the "double curl" technique: First, squeeze the curler at the very base of your lashes, holding it perpendicular to the ground. Then repeat the same action, but move the tongs parallel to the ground.

    You can learn about other nuances of using a curler from our video.

  • When choosing a foundation in a store, try different options shade not only on the wrist and on the cheeks, but also on the neck. This rule is especially relevant in the first days of summer, when the face has already managed to tan a little, but the neck has not.
  • During the hot season, eyeliner often smudges. The best way out of this situation is to use waterproof products, but if you don’t have any on hand, just powder the area under your eyes. The powder will create a kind of barrier that will help keep the eyeliner in its original place.
  • It is recommended to remove makeup from the skin, moving from bottom to top, so as not to stretch the skin. But applying foundation or powder is exactly the opposite: from top to bottom. The fact is that there is always a small “fluff” on the face, which is not at all noticeable to others - until you go over it with a brush. foundation in the direction opposite the growth of thin hairs.

  • Before using mascara, lightly brush the brush over the surface of a dry cloth. This action will help remove excess mascara and avoid the formation of lumps on the eyelashes.
  • If you can't draw clear black arrows on the eyelid, go over it with a gold or silver pencil with a light shimmer (a similar eyeliner will do). It will help hide imperfections and unevenness, and also soften the look a little.
  • To give your lips a real 3D volume, try this trick: add to the center lower lip a little blush with shimmer or light satin shadows. Blend the product with your fingers.

Basic rules for good makeup

When starting to apply makeup, remember that the most important thing in any makeup:

Applying foundation

We apply foundation or BB cream that matches the color perfectly. Choose those toning products that have a light yellow pigment. They are ideal for European women. Apply with a slightly damp beauty blender or a special synthetic bristle brush.

Setting tone with powder

We use loose powder in makeup to set the tone. It is preferable to fix only the T-zone, which quickly becomes shiny due to the secretion of sebum.

You can use transparent or white transparency. The main thing to remember is that powder is an auxiliary product that mattifies and sets the foundation. It is applied with a large fluffy brush in small quantities. During the day, you can lightly powder the T-zone with compact powder or blot with mattifying wipes.

Face correction with dry correctors

We shape the face, because after creating the ideal tone, it turns into a blank page without natural shadows and highlights.

  1. Blackout: Using a soft natural bristle brush, pick up a little dry corrector brown(Mac “Harmony” is ideal), we drive it on the hand and with light movements we draw it under the cheekbone (starting from the middle of the cheek we go “no” towards the cheekbones), along the hairline, the sides of the nose, under the chin, slightly under the lip.
  2. Highlighting. Use a highlighter to highlight the bridge of the nose, tick above upper lip, chin, protruding part of the cheekbone, under the eyebrow, inner corner of the eye, middle of the forehead.

Blend everything thoroughly!

Eyebrow drawing

Comb with a special brush, directing the hairs upward. Using a pale pink or white pencil, draw a line under the eyebrows and lightly shade. For correction, use an angled hard brush and matte shadows or a special hard eyebrow pencil.

If desired, you can fix it with a special transparent or brown gel (today there are huge selection for both blondes and brunettes).

Step by step eye makeup

At this stage, you can adjust the shape of the eyes, but we will consider the average light daytime makeup.

Stage 1 of eye makeup. Apply a base under the shadows (the primer makes the shadows more durable, helps them adhere better and shades well).

Stage 2 eye makeup. Apply dark matte shadows to the outer corner of the eye and the crease of the upper eyelid, and light ones to the inner corner. Shade the border. You can add a little brown matte shadow to the outer corner of the lower eyelid along the lash line, reaching the middle of the eye (shade).

Stage 3 of makeup. Highlight your eyes with black pencil or eyeliner. You can simply walk along the lash line or make a soft arrow on the upper eyelid and shade it going beyond the edges of the eye and lifting it up (this will make the eye much larger).

4 Eye makeup stage (optional). Paint over the mucous membranes of the eyes with a light pink or beige pencil.

Stage 5 eye makeup. Apply eyelashes, curling them slightly and focusing on the roots at the base (many people like to paint only the ends of the eyelashes, but over time they droop from the weight and we don’t get big eyes, but the completely opposite effect).

Applying blush

Take pink (peach or coral can be) blush and apply it to the apples of the cheeks, which form when we smile. Lightly blend towards the temples. Lightly brush along the tip of the nose and around the perimeter of the face to create color harmony in your makeup!

Lip makeup

We moisturize the lips with balm and stain with your favorite lipstick. If you want to create a more lasting effect, fill your lips completely with a pencil, the same shade as the lipstick, and only then apply lipstick.

Fixing makeup

Spray thermal water or makeup fixative(not a mandatory step, but desirable for evening makeup).

How to choose the right cosmetics

The choice of cosmetics is one of the most important issues, since good cosmetics It’s inexpensive, and cheap ones don’t always please with their quality.

Foundation should suit your skin type and meet your needs:

  • light texture and color;
  • rich color and high covering power;
  • durability;
  • additional hydration or mattifying ability.

How to choose the right foundation color? When choosing a shade, do not make the main mistake that absolutely everyone makes - testing the product on the wrist. The shade of the hands and face is very different. Apply a small amount of product to the area under your eyes and blend across your cheek. When you go outside, look at yourself in daylight. Stores often make the mistake of turning on yellow lamps, which neutralize redness. This is why when we come home, we are often disappointed with our purchase.

It is best to apply the product to your face and live with it all day. A good store will not deny you the opportunity to test the foundation correctly. You must understand whether you are comfortable or not and whether this product can withstand your rhythm of life.

U lipstick the main thing is color and texture. Apply a little lipstick to your hand and decide if the texture is pleasant to you. Next, apply it to your lips and take a closer look at the color. Do not test the color on your hand as this will also distort the color. You can apply a little on the inside of your fingers as it is almost the same color as your lips.

The only universal lipstick color that will suit absolutely everyone is a cool-toned red (if you rub it on your hand, it should fade to pink).

It is advisable to buy loose powder, and use pressed powder only to throw in your handbags and touch up throughout the day. The crumbly one lays down in a thin light layer, while the pressed one tends to layer.

Blush It’s better to choose cream ones, so they look as natural as possible. The color can be cold or warm pink, peach.

Mascara choosing is not that difficult. Just decide what you need: make your eyelashes longer or thicker.

Concealer should be a little denser than the tone and one tone lighter, but no more.

Eyebrow pencil or shadow must be brown or gray-brown without “red.” It is best to choose a shade that is a shade lighter than your eyebrows.

Eyeliner We choose according to the principle of shading. Draw a small line on your hand, wait a little and rub it. If the line is practically not smeared, we take it.

What can you save on?

We all know that the more expensive cosmetics, the better quality. But there are ways you can save money.

And also, which are great for home use.

What should you not save on?

Foundation It must be expensive and good, since we apply it to our face and live with it all day long. But the most important thing is that the quality of makeup depends only on it. You can have an expensive foundation, but all other products are very cheap and no one will notice. A cheap foundation will be stained, will be too “red” or even look like a mask.

Video lessons

A visual aid for those who want to learn how to paint quickly and beautifully. But remember that the main thing in this matter is practice. Practice constantly, make mistakes, correct yourself, and after some time you will learn how to create beauty in 5 minutes.

Light makeup for every day

Arm yourself with all your makeup and start experimenting. Only if you devote at least 10 minutes to makeup every day can you become a good makeup artist for yourself.

Simple budget make-up

Not every girl can afford expensive premium cosmetics, but everyone should know how to look expensive for little money.

Evening makeup for going out

Beautiful makeup from a professional makeup artist is very expensive, so we must learn how to apply beauty ourselves.

Despite the fact that makeup is predominantly a female art, not every lady masters it. And the presence of the most expensive and elite cosmetics does not guarantee an excellent result if you do not master the rules of its use. Knowing how to apply makeup correctly, you can look impressive and attractive in any situation, even without having an arsenal of tubes, jars and palettes. Learning this craft is not at all difficult if you have patience, perseverance and imagination.

Everyday makeup refers to a simple look. It is designed to disguise minor imperfections, give the face freshness and highlight its natural beauty. If the skin does not have very noticeable defects, and the facial features are harmonious, proper daytime makeup will only enhance the natural charm of a woman, while being invisible.

Evening makeup is usually complicated and requires more time and cosmetics. It allows the use decorative elements, glitter, false eyelashes and other paraphernalia.

Preparing for the makeup process

Preparation is no less important than the process of applying cosmetics. The durability and accuracy of the makeup, as well as the time spent on its creation, largely depend on this stage. It is important to pay attention to every detail, try new techniques and select a harmonious combination of shades and textures. Practical skills will be developed over time, and then the question of how to apply makeup correctly will no longer arise.

Cleansing and skin care

On a cleansed and moisturized face, makeup adheres better and lasts longer. It is not allowed to apply new layers to existing “plaster”. Makeup removal is definitely necessary. In general, the more the skin rests from cosmetics, the better its appearance and condition. If you have free time or on weekends, you can practice using face masks that you make yourself or from a store-bought assortment. The frequency of such procedures is 1-2 times a week.

Washing with water is not enough for adult skin; it needs to be supplemented with cosmetic cream, milk or gel. Cleansing ends with tonic or lotion.

Care is selected depending on skin type and time of year. The care product can be a fluid cream, a nourishing or moisturizing cream, or an emulsion.

Toning and matting

Correction of problem areas and minor defects is carried out using a corrector and concealer. They can “hide” dark circles under the eyes, pimples, protruding veins, and pigmentation. To consolidate the camouflage effect, you should apply foundation and powder, which also provide an even complexion. For oily or combination skin, you can use products with a mattifying effect that will absorb excess sebum and eliminate shine.

Advice: To select the color of the foundation, it is tested: applied to the inside of the brush.

Highlighter and brosator will give the face relief and correct its oval. A makeup artist who knows how to use these tools is like a sculptor who skillfully plays with light and shadow, sculpting the desired image. For each face shape, there are schemes for highlighting and darkening certain areas.

Applying corrective cosmetics in multiple layers is acceptable for evening makeup. But even in this case, it is important not to overdo it, so as not to turn your face into a mask. For daytime makeup, a light powder or BB cream may be sufficient.

Tools and cosmetics

Determining the color type of appearance, namely the shade of skin, eyes and hair, is the next step towards flawless makeup. A correctly selected palette of eye shadow, blush and lipstick can embellish or completely transform a woman’s face. You can determine the range experimentally, relying on the recommendations of professional makeup artists and your artistic taste. It is clear that for daytime makeup you should choose nude and pastel shades that will not clearly stand out on the face. For evening look Bright, saturated colors, enchanting combinations, interesting textures are suitable.

In any case, it is better to prepare in advance necessary cosmetics and tools to apply everything at once and not be distracted by searching while creating makeup. It is important to pay attention to the expiration date of cosmetics and decorative products and not to forget about their storage time after opening the package.

A set of sponges and brushes of different shapes and sizes will help in the difficult but interesting process of creating “make-up”. Cotton pads and swabs will correct errors and remove excess makeup. And of course, at a comfortable table with good lighting and a large (preferably magnifying) mirror it will be easier to apply makeup.

Step-by-step makeup creation

It is important to follow the generally accepted sequence for applying makeup among makeup artists. In makeup, especially evening makeup, it is recommended to focus on one part of the face. As a rule, these are the eyes. They provide unlimited scope for the use of unexpected shades of shadows, their interesting combination with the natural color of the iris. A flutter of luxurious eyelashes, a bewitching gaze - these epithets are not in vain used when describing attractive women.

If you want to highlight seductive lips on your face, this is easy to do with bright lipstick. In this case, it is correct to make eye makeup natural and inconspicuous.

Focusing on two or more parts of the face will make the image look doll-like or too “womanish.” Confidence and accuracy - distinctive features stylish and luxurious woman.

Eyes

Eye makeup is the most important and difficult stage. It usually uses tools such as:

  • base for shadows;
  • pencil or liquid eyeliner;
  • eyeshadow palette;
  • mascara.

In the daytime version, only light shadows and mascara or only mascara can be applied. Evening or stage makeup is unthinkable without expressive wings and rich colors; it allows the use of false eyelashes or rhinestones. Also, the formal look should be combined with the outfit, hairstyle and accessories.

In complex eye makeup, after the base, eyeliner is applied, then the shadows are shaded. There are various makeup schemes - horizontal, vertical, “bird”, “smoky ice”, “banana”. Their use depends on the shape of the eyes, the distance between them, and the shape of the eyelid.

The choice of mascara is determined by the natural thickness and length of the eyelashes. It can be lengthening, curling, or increasing volume. Waterproof swatches provide longer-lasting makeup. The color of the mascara may also vary. Thus, brown-eyed girls are recommended to use brown shades in daytime makeup. For a festive occasion, blue, purple, green or silver mascara may be useful. Particularly extravagant ladies even pay attention to the color red.

Some manufacturers offer “2 in 1” products, consisting of a caring serum, which additionally increases the thickness of the hairs, and a coloring composition.

To achieve desired effect When tinting your eyelashes, you can try several methods of applying mascara:

  • vertical, in which the brush moves vertically relative to the eyes, that is, parallel to the hairs;
  • blinking - rapid fluttering of the eyelashes when touching them horizontally with a brush;
  • Zigzags - alternating movements of the brush left-right and up-down.

Eyebrows are not the main object of eye makeup, but the expression of the face and gaze largely depends on them. Sloppy or irregularly shaped eyebrows can negate the effect of brilliant eye shadow and stunning eyeliner. Therefore, they need to be given due attention. A cosmetologist will help you choose the optimal length and width; in the future, you can easily adjust your eyebrows yourself. To maintain shape or curb unruly hairs, you can use a transparent gel that is applied to the eyebrows.

Lips

One of the final stages is lip makeup. They can be pre-softened with balm and thus prepared for applying lipstick. There are also special scrubs with fine exfoliating particles that will delicately remove the stratum corneum and chapped skin.

A lip liner pencil will highlight and, if necessary, correct their shape. Its color should match the lipstick or differ from it by several tones. A soft, well-sharpened lead will help achieve a clear outline.

It is important to carefully paint your lips with lipstick and cover their inner surface as much as possible so that the makeup looks beautiful and natural when talking and laughing. The first layer can be powdered or blotted with a cosmetic napkin, then apply another layer. This will make your lip makeup richer and more durable.

The shade of lipstick should be combined with the color of the shadows and skin tone. For each color type of appearance, there are recommendations for choosing cosmetics. For bright eye makeup, nude lipsticks are usually used, that is, lipsticks close to the natural color of the lips. For daytime make-up, you can limit yourself to liquid gloss or balm. Some may like it long lasting lipsticks, but you should not overuse them, as they dry out the skin of your lips.

Blush

Blush refreshes the complexion, gives it a natural glow and completes the makeup. Their color is usually selected to match the skin tone: pink and beige are suitable for fair complexions, bronze or brown are suitable for dark complexions.

By changing the direction and width of the strokes, you can adjust the shape of the face, visually stretch it vertically or horizontally, increase or decrease its width. The optimal intensity for applying blush is when it does not stand out on the face.

It’s not difficult to understand how to apply makeup beautifully and correctly. Their practical implementation will help to consolidate the acquired knowledge. With such skills, a woman will feel confident in any situation and will be able to make the desired impression on others.

And if you want to further enhance the beauty of your painted eyelashes, then properly paint over the ends of your eyelashes and curl them more up. When using mascara with a strong thickening and enlarging effect, do not forget to comb your eyelashes with a special brush.

When we're done with the eyes, let's move on to the lips. Our lips are a sensual part of the face, and they can be aggressive and luscious, or they can be barely noticeable.

For a woman with fair skin, coral, soft pink, nude, and beige colors are suitable. Know that if you wear lipstick purple flowers, you will only increase the yellowness and emphasize the teeth.
