How to create an Asian style makeup
Nowadays, almost every girl or woman uses various cosmetics. Cosmetics allows you to create beautiful makeup to suit different styles. Today we will talk about the main features of Asian makeup, as well as how to choose the right makeup for it.
Peculiarities
For Asian makeup, some of its own characteristics are characteristic: a yellowish skin tone, a slightly narrowed eye shape, pronounced cheekbones, bright eyebrows. Besides, Asians, when compared with Europeans, have an unusual shape of the eyelids: they are rather flat, they do not have the usual small folds.
It is worth noting that a make-up made on a movable eyelid will practically not be visible when you close your eyes, therefore, when applying cosmetics, you should carefully consider all the reliefs.
How to choose cosmetics?
When creating makeup in an Asian style, you should take the foundation and pigment of yellow shades as a basis, given the fact that Asian women do not have pinkish skin tones at all. Avoid terracotta or coral tones. You can give preference to neutral classic beige options.
For dyeing eyebrows and eyelashes, you can use only charcoal black cosmetics. You cannot use other colors. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of shadows - their tone should be close to the skin color. As a complement, it is permissible to apply a little gold or silver paint.
There are practically no restrictions on the color of lipstick. For Asian lip makeup, you can take different tones. But the most common options are bright scarlet and pale pink. Sometimes, using a simple lipstick or tint on the lips, a light gradient is made.
As an additional cosmetics for the skin of the face, bronzer is often taken, but it should be applied in a small amount. And also blush is often used. In this case, it is permissible to take options for pinkish tones. But you should apply them carefully so as not to spoil the make-up.
How to do it?
The creation of such a make-up goes in several stages.
- Preparation. To make a beautiful Asian makeup for a European woman, first of all, you need to prepare the skin of the face. To do this, it is thoroughly cleaned and moisturized.
- Base application. Choose a foundation that is 1 or 2 shades lighter than your skin tone. It is carefully shaded to create boundaries. Then, with the help of concealer, you need to carefully lighten the triangle that is formed by the wing of the nose and the lower eyelid. It is better to apply the product with a sponge, but with the thinnest possible layer.
- Securing the base. After applying foundation and concealer, the result is set with loose powder. On the places where concealer was applied, you should go with matte shadows. Moreover, they should be 1-2 tones lighter in color than the skin.
- Contour creation. To do this, it is worth working out the oval of the face. The areas under the cheekbones, the wings of the nose, the lower line located under the chin are carefully darkened with a bronzer.
- Eyebrow shaping. For this purpose, a special pencil of saturated black color is taken. In this case, the shape of the eyebrows should be either straight or slightly curved. At the same time, special attention is paid to geometry, clarity and expressiveness of the contours. Shading is not recommended at the end.
- Eye shaping. First you need to make a pronounced eyeliner on the upper eyelid, you can form it using a special liner. Later, a thin black line is drawn along the direction of the ciliary edge. The line should reach the outer corner of the eye. All the gaps between the cilia must be carefully painted over, after which the eyeliner line is slightly lowered. This technique of applying cosmetics will make the eyes visually narrower and slightly elongated. At the final stage, a thin arrow is made with an upward direction (2-3 mm).
If you decide to do your makeup in a Korean style, then you should consider some important features. So, when applying cosmetics, it is not necessary to sculpt the nose. The technique is mainly aimed at enlarging the incision of the eyes.
Before applying cosmetics, the skin is whitened with powder and a suitable foundation. At the end, a little blush is applied to the cheeks, they should have a slight pinkish tint.
Beautiful examples
Asian makeup with a pale foundation will look unusual. In this case, nose sculpting is used. The eyebrows should be thin, but pronounced with black paint. Thin eyeliner will visually create a small crease on the upper eyelid.
In this case, it is also better to paint the eyelashes in a rich black color. On the eyelids, you can apply some bright shadows (different shades of pink, orange). At the same time, they should go slightly beyond the limits. Lips can be tinted with a bright scarlet tint or light coral gloss.
Another interesting option would be an Asian-style make-up using a bronzer and golden eyeshadow. At the same time, the base is made pale, a little bronzer is applied to the cheekbones and wings of the nose.
With the help of black liquid eyeliner, small arrows are drawn on the eyes, the eyelashes are painted over with black ink. A little golden eyeshadow is applied to both the lower and upper eyelids, and then all this is shaded a little.
To highlight the lips separately, you can use bright lipstick or a tint of light brown color.
Makeup in Korean style with light green shadows will look beautiful. The base is made in a light beige color. A small amount of pink blush is applied to the cheeks. After that, arrows of medium thickness are drawn with liquid black eyeliner.
First, golden shadows are applied to the upper and lower eyelids, and then light green shadows are applied on top (sometimes yellow shadows are also taken). Then all this is neatly shaded. Eyebrows are made out with black paint, it is better to make them with a slight bend. Lips are painted with pale pink or beige lipstick. If you want to emphasize them a little, then you can draw along their contour with a pencil of the same color, but with a darker shade.
