The following actions are carried out step by step:

• cleanse;
• tone up;
• moisturize.

Before using the foundation, apply a primer with a blur or radiance effect. Then a foundation is applied, depending on the type of skin. For dry, a composition with moisturizing ingredients is required, for oily, a cream that absorbs secretions is suitable, for very oily, bases in the form of powder or mousse are chosen. For the combination, a matte base is suitable. On problem areas, imperfect zones are retouched with a corrector, and the base is selected on an average density.

Decorative cosmetics can be applied on an even flawless background. To create a game of warm highlights on the face, a bronzer is often used: a small amount is distributed along the cheekbones and along the hairline. If the cheeks are deeply tanned, a bronzer will be appropriate instead of blush.

To freshen up a tired look, mask dark circles, redness, a concealer or an eyelid base will help. Under each lower eyelid, a V-shape is outlined with a tonal composition. The sharp top is directed downward. Blend the concealer very close to the lash line. Better to do this with the sharp tip of a damp sponge.

After distributing the eyelash base, the eyelashes are curled. If you do this after painting with a pencil and applying shadows, the paint will float. To apply shadow on the eyelids, you should act in a certain way:

• shade the base shade throughout the eyelid;
• light - in the inner corner of the eye;
• dark - from the outside.

It is important to make an even transition between tones. Arrows in this make-up are optional, but the gaze is more expressive, and often this way I correct the shape of the eyes. The pencil is taken of medium hardness, 0.5-0.7 mm thick. The eyelids are applied using a blurry technique, the owners of thick and dark eyelashes make an eyeliner over the growth line. If the cilia are not very thick or light, draw an eyelash arrow.

Mascara is applied in one layer, volumetric or lengthening. For blondes and red-haired women choose brown, for brunettes and brown-haired women - gray-black or black. The lower eyelashes do not dye or do it lightly. By following these instructions, you can create an irresistible look.

In a natural look, eyebrows become an important detail. To make it more natural, use a pencil and eyebrow shadows a tone darker than the hair color. The eyebrows are emphasized along the contour with a pencil, then shaded. If the eyebrows are thin and very light, they are tinted. Do this carefully with a beveled brush. For a more open look, the inside of the eyebrow is lighter than the outside. If the eyebrows are dark and thick, they are only combed with a brush.

For a casual look, a balm with a light tinting effect is suitable. If the shape of the lips needs to be tweaked, you will need lipstick and lip liner in the same shade, and body liner will do. Lipstick is chosen in soft natural colors with a matte finish; it is often replaced with a transparent gloss.
