Secrets of beautiful and proper makeup

To get a chic result when applying cosmetics, you should learn how to choose it. The quality of the products used affects not only the effect obtained, but also the structure of the skin. Skin condition may worsen after using products containing harmful substances. One of the dangerous consequences is allergies. Toxic components are absorbed into the bloodstream and can cause serious health complications.

Another equally important factor is the mastery of makeup techniques, the use of color combinations that correspond to the type of appearance. An ideal make-up will skillfully hide overhanging eyelids, tired eyes, sore spots. A beautifully made-up woman feels confident and self-sufficient.

Skin preparation

Preparatory procedures consist of two stages: cleansing and moisturizing the skin. The following products are used for cleaning:

  • lotion;
  • scrub;
  • gel;
  • tonic;
  • milk.

A small amount of selected cosmetics is applied to clean, dry skin and then used according to the instructions. Cleansing helps open the pores, get rid of dead skin particles. Oxygen enters through the upper layer of the epidermis, which activates the cellular biochemical process. Useful minerals and microelements, which are part of the products, stimulate cell regeneration and restore the structure.

After cleansing, moisturizing follows, which is carried out with the help of a cream. It is enough to apply a small amount on the face and let it soak for a few minutes. Residues should be removed with a dry cloth.

Makeup steps


 The upper eyelid is applied with a pencil or liquid eyeliner, followed by shading
  1. Skin cleaning. Before using any cosmetics, the skin should be cleaned to prevent clogging of pores and not provoke the activation of the sebaceous glands. Twice a week, the skin should be scrubbed, and daily it should be treated with lotion, tonic or milk. The result of the procedure: clean, even skin without keratinized particles.
  2. Hydration. Water balance is necessary for the normal functioning of all vital processes, including the epidermis. Regular use of moisturizers prolongs youth and freshness. The composition of day creams includes the necessary trace elements that retain moisture in cells and tissues. Before makeup, apply the cream and leave to absorb for a few minutes, then blot the remnants with a napkin.
  3. Applying tone. The base is applied to the entire face in a thin layer. It is recommended to grab the neck as well to avoid focusing on the delineation. Spread the product over the skin with a cosmetic brush. On the eyelids, you also need to apply a foundation so that the layer of shadows is better fixed. To correct problem areas and give shades, you can use several tones at the same time, but no more than 3. You can evaluate the result by looking in the mirror. If the skin does not look like a mask, then the desired effect has been achieved.
  4. If necessary, problem areas are masked. A corrector is also suitable for this. Concealers are available in several colors, each of which masks a specific problem. For example, to hide cyanosis in the eye area, the green color of the product is suitable, and to hide black dots, white or beige. The layer should be thin. With fingertips, the concealer should be easily driven into the skin.
  5. Powder application. Powder your face in a thin layer. Proper use of the tool involves scrolling the brush in powder, followed by distribution over the skin. The area around the eyes is not processed, since after half an hour ugly folds form on the moving areas (the effect of old age).
  6. Emphasizing the cheekbones with blush. This technique is refreshing and rejuvenating. For daytime make-up, neutral tones of blush are used. Before applying, you need to pull the cheeks inward to highlight the border of the cheekbones and draw on them with a brush. 2-3 strokes are enough. If the tone turned out to be more saturated, you need to lighten the area with a clean brush.
  7. . Shadows are applied first. You can combine several shades. Next, the upper eyelid is brought in with a pencil or followed by shading. The final touch is staining the eyelashes.
  8. Lip shaping. To create a beautiful contour, you need to outline the borders of the lips with a pencil, in the color of lipstick or 1-2 shades darker. After that, lipstick or gloss is applied.

How to apply blush

Secrets of makeup artists

  • Eyebrow shaping has become trendy in recent years. Gel is required to create an expressive line, but what if it was not at hand? The answer is simple - use a transparent lip balm. The result will be no worse, as well as stability. It is enough to draw a thin brush over the hairs of the eyebrows, laying them in the right direction. The balm has a gel-like effect, so the shape will last a long time. The use of hairspray and mascara brushes will also become revenue. After spraying a little styling agent on the brush, comb the eyebrows with it, giving the desired bend.
  • A lipstick with a soft creamy texture can replace blush. After the foundation is applied to the face, you need to draw one small stroke in the cheekbone area with the rod. Using a thick brush or fingertips, blend them without rubbing into the skin. This technique will help to quickly give the face freshness in the absence of blush.
  • The rules for applying makeup include the use of a day cream before applying the foundation. Time can be saved by using a cream with the abbreviation BB or CC. Such products have a caring effect, mask small problem areas, even out the color.
  • Mattifying wipes will help you keep your look fresh and well-groomed throughout the day., and eliminate quickly fat content when it appears.
  • To give fluffiness to the eyelashes will help a technique that provides for two-time staining. The secret lies in the translucent powder, which is applied to the first layer of mascara. It should be used in small quantities so as not to weigh down the cilia.

Differences between daytime and evening makeup

With different light intensity, the perception of the same makeup is significantly different. This factor underlies the use of cosmetic products with different purposes. Natural light enhances natural beauty well. Sometimes it is enough to even out the skin tone or apply a small amount of lip gloss and the image will be ready. In the evening, bright accents will not interfere, which will make the look more expressive and playful.

Features of daytime makeup are to create naturalness and freshness. Mostly neutral shades are used. Problem areas are brightened and matted. Excessive bulges are tinted with dark powder or foundation 1-2 tones darker than the main one.

Using the techniques of playing with shades, you can successfully correct the oval of the face, nose, cheekbones and other areas. Eyeliner lines should be shaded, otherwise you will get the effect of artificial eyes or eyebrows. Layers of makeup are super thin so as not to weigh down the image. A balanced combination of shades will give freshness and lightness.

You can't do without bright colors. The first thing that differs from the daily procedure is the applied tone. To even out skin tone, several tones are used. This will make it possible not only to correct problem areas, but also to emphasize the natural beauty, to make the skin structure more saturated.

For eyeliner, it is preferable to use dark colors: black, dark brown, blue, purple. The arrow is shaded slightly for a harmonious combination with the shadows. With all the expressiveness, it is important not to overdo it with tones, otherwise the so-called “combat color” may turn out. Focusing on the eyes, do not brightly paint the lips and vice versa. For a general positive perception, it is enough to express only one zone.

Common Mistakes

  • Many girls try to create a tan effect by using a darker foundation. Do not use a tonal foundation that differs in color from the skin. This will create a mask effect.
  • Care should be taken when treating the eye area with white concealer. Too much difference in skin tones will create a panda effect.
  • If the shelf life of cosmetics has expired, you should immediately replace it. Before the initial use of new products, testing should be done to prevent an allergic reaction.
  • Often women brightly express both their eyes, highlighting them with dark eyeliner, extended thick eyelashes, and lips, using bright colors of lipstick. In the right make-up, the emphasis is on one thing. If in the evening image it can still be justified, then in the daytime brightness emphasizes the complete lack of taste.
  • A small slit of the eyes should not be let down. Black eyeliner will make it even smaller. You can express the look by shading dark shadows along the lash line.
  • It has become popular to use bright red lipstick in evening makeup. Before applying, you need to take into account the condition of the teeth, because the red color can favorably emphasize only white teeth. In the presence of yellowness and darkened enamel, the appearance will be even more unhealthy.
  • The error is the effectiveness of the receptionwith pencil and lipstick. A drawn outline above the real one will create an unnatural shape and become a bad accent in makeup.
