The main rules when applying makeup at home
Start the development of makeup should be with the study of the basic rules. They are used not only by ordinary girls, but also by professional makeup artists. To properly apply makeup to the face, you need to remember the following:
- Feather - a pledge of natural and beautiful makeup. For her, it is best to use brushes, as they do their job faster and better than their fingers. To shade you need tools such as shadows, tone, blush and bronzer;
- The skin must be prepared to apply makeup. On an unprepared face, decorative products fall much worse. Before you apply makeup, you need to moisturize or degrease the skin. It depends on its type and condition;
- The primer does not increase the durability, instead it is more profitable to use a regular cream Many makeup artists have already covered this topic. Advertized primers do not provide better durability, the same can be said about liquid fixatives. They only help cosmetics better "grapple" with the skin;
- The tonal framework must be selected to match the tone of the neck. At this point, it is worth noting that funds from the mass market have scant lines of shades. Sometimes to get your color you need to combine 2 products. In order to find the right shade, you need to apply foundation to the neck, not the face;
- You need to choose a good brush. If you have problems with this, you can use makeup sponges. They are quite functional and comfortable, but not suitable for the eyes. There are a lot of brushes for applying shadows on the market, you need to choose medium-stuffed specimens with a soft nap.
Interesting fact! Few people know that mass-market and luxury products are literally boiled in the same pot. That is, the main differences only in the price list, packaging and brand. Lovers of savings can easily buy brands such as L'Oreal, Divage, Vivienne Sabo, and so on, because in quality they are no worse than luxury tools.
These rules are basic, it is them that professionals use in their work. They will also help orient newbies who are just learning how to apply makeup.
How to apply foundation for makeup?
In fact, makeup begins with the application of the base. This rule can not be adhered to if friable, shiny shadows are used in the work, as they are strongly showered on the whole face. But, in all other cases, after moisturizing the skin, it is necessary to apply basic products on it.
People with dilated pores and noticeable imperfections need to use a pore grinder. These are colorless gels and silicone-based creams that make the skin smooth, preparing it for a tonal basis. On the market, such products are often positioned as primers.
After applying this product or moisturizer, you must use a tonal framework. It can be in the form of CC or BB cream, it all depends on the desired density.
The tone is applied using a tightly packed brush or sponge. Distribute it evenly over the entire face. You can not avoid the area under the eyes, if the tool has moisturizing ingredients.
Important! BB cream forms a light coating, smoothing the tone of the face. The CC agent is denser, it better hides imperfections and, usually, has a dull finish.
The tonal base is set in about 1-2 minutes with the skin, after which other decorative products can be applied. It is better not to do this immediately, so that the base is not smeared.
How to apply makeup on face: step by step instructions
So, further steps will be described in applying cosmetics to the face. Tips are universal and suitable for both evening and daytime makeup.
For beginners, it is best not to try to focus on the eyes and lips at the same time, as this will give the image of vulgarity. Experienced makeup artists usually combine shades so that they are in perfect harmony with each other and do not make the face heavier.
Preparation and Basis
To prepare the skin, you can use any cream that is available in your home arsenal. It is important that it is quickly absorbed and does not leave a shine behind.
Girls with a very dry face are recommended to use oil-based products, and those with oily or combination skin should take matting products.
The cream should be applied in a thin layer, it can be used thickly only in those places where there is peeling. After the agent is absorbed, a tone foundation should be used. It should be applied evenly, and in places with dilated pores it is recommended to shade the tone with circular movements.
Blush, Bronzer and Highlighter
After applying the tone, the face looks flat, so just use the additional tools. For a natural make-up it is worth taking lighter shades close to natural. If you create an evening image, you can take bright tools that look good in artificial light.
For the correct application of blush should smile, then use the product on the formed cheeks. Apply such cosmetics must be fluffy and soft brush.
Bronzer, on the other hand, will require a more rigid, oblique-shaped product. Sculpting tools need to be applied to the cheekbones, for convenience, you can make the face "fish". In addition, bronzer is used to contour the nose, facial contours.
The highlighter is applied to the projecting parts with a small soft brush. It should be used to tick the lip, the area above the cheekbones, the middle of the nose and forehead. It is important not to overdo it with glitter, especially when it comes to natural makeup.
Eyebrows
For eyebrow shaping, you can use: gel, eye shadow, pencil, mascara and fixative. Beginners are advised to take funds with a rigid foundation, as they are more convenient.
To get natural eyebrows, it is necessary to draw hairs, and not to paint the whole space with one color.
In addition, at the base you need to make them lighter by not pressing hard on the pencil. Naughty eyebrows are best fixed with a colorless fixative or a special mascara of a suitable shade.
Shadows
In applying shadows, the most important thing is feathering. For the base you need to take beige shades close to the natural color of the skin. After that, you can use darker ones, but between them you need to create a smooth transition.
This is what is required to use a soft brush. The fold of the century is best worked through with the darkest shade to create the effect of deep, expressive eyes.
Lips
If the eyes are already underlined, then a delicate shade of lipstick or gloss should be applied to the lips. Before using these decorative tools, it is important to draw a contour with a pencil.
He, in principle, can be applied to all lips to achieve the effect of lipstick with a matte finish. But before that, they must be well moistened with a hygienic shine.
How to apply makeup on the eyes
To create a beautiful eye makeup, you can use absolutely any shades, but it is important to harmonize them correctly. Some girls put a base color on the entire eyelid, and then draw an arrow - this approach creates a beautiful accent and refreshes the eye. But to create a smooth line you need to practice well.
Proper eye makeup is important to complete the mascara. It can be with lengthening or natural effect, it does not really matter. Mascara can be applied to the lower cilia, but not overdone.
Features of applying makeup depending on the type of person
Face type plays an important role in creating the right makeup. Even universal tips need to be used wisely. To change the shape of the face or its underlining, you can use a highlighter and a bronzer.
In the language of makeup artists this technique is called "contouring". Light tones should be applied on the convex parts of the face, and dark tones - on the cheekbones, oval and nose wings. All color cosmetics must be carefully shaded.
People with an oval type of face is best to emphasize the cheekbones. This will give visual thinness. The darkest point should be done approximately in the middle of the cheekbone, but not near the hairline. The same advice is suitable for people with a round face, big cheeks. It is also recommended to use a highlighter or white base below and above the dark contour line.
The square face type, on the contrary, needs to be made more rounded. To do this, you do not need to emphasize sharp corners, that is, use a bronzer minimally. The main focus is best done on the cheeks, giving them a natural glow and pinkishness.
People with an elongated face are recommended to put a dark outline on the chin, visually making it smaller. The same technique can be used in the upper part of the face, near the hairline. Thus, the face will appear less elongated.
What else should be considered for the correct make-up
Beginners should remember one rule: from the very beginning of mastering makeup, it is best to use products that have a natural effect, as well as basic colors. No need to buy shadows of extreme shades, which are much harder to apply and extinguish. It is also important to avoid complex textures and poor quality.
Over time, when the basic techniques are studied, applying makeup will become much easier. Here then it is already possible to use more capricious decorative products. A few more basic rules regarding the combination of colors:
- For girls with golden hair is best to use beige, brown, orange and metallic shadows. Colors should be warm, it does not depend on the color of the eyes and skin. The main contrast occurs precisely against the background of the hair;
- Blue-eyed women are cold shades (especially gray). These colors are expressive, they highlight the blue and create the right accent;
- Owners of red hair can safely use green. Especially if they have brown eyes. Green should not look cheap and be too bright, but otherwise it is just perfect for a redhead.
Important! By the way, all red lipsticks are divided into two groups: with a warm subtone and cold. Before buying, you can put the product on hand and bring it to your face to make sure that the shade is appropriate and harmonious.
All the above rules and tips will help every girl in the correct application of makeup. It should be understood that the theory is necessary for the development of any business.
