How to do Hollywood makeup?

For an evening out, for a photoset, for a wedding - there are many reasons to do Hollywood makeup. The attraction is that you don't have to go to a makeup artist to look like a star from the red carpet. With information in front of you, step-by-step instructions and a desire to understand these intricacies, everything can be repeated at home.

Hollywood style makeup is flawless contouring, laconicism and noble tones. It is considered classic at the same time, because in most of the options for Hollywood makeup, the principle of "red and black" is preserved: black arrows and eyelashes + red lipstick. Combined with the perfect complexion and convincing hairstyle, the look is truly stellar.

Consider the basic principles and description of Hollywood make-up.

• Perfectly even skin tone. There is nothing to argue here: the natural blush that arises in the everyday hustle and bustle should remain in it. And going out (this is why a Hollywood-style make-up is done) must be accompanied by impeccability. Therefore, the saturation of the tone cannot confuse anyone.
• Dark shades for the eyes. Hollywood makeup was created to typify female images: they all seem to mimic each other. Classic canons, where both eyebrows and lips are expressive, are good on the red carpet (or any other event from non-stellar life that can be equated with it). If you want to make red lips without touching your eyes at all, this is no longer Hollywood, but something creative. In Hollywood aesthetics, the appearance of an actress from old postcards is welcomed: clear arrows, long eyelashes.
• Active colors. Lips in bright lipstick are a Hollywood make-up classic.Even those women who are sure that this does not suit them, simply did not find their tone. For daytime and everyday make-up, red should be the soloist, but in Hollywood make-up it will become one of the details.
• Clarity and accuracy. All the effects are akin to "walking all night until the morning", which in some cases are appropriate and sexy, taboo in Hollywood make-up. As well as, however, hairstyles with a casual effect.

The first requirement is to make sure that you have all the necessary cosmetics, and you don't have to run to the store “in the middle of the road” for eyeliner or eyebrow gel, for example.

Here is a short list of what will probably come in handy when creating a Hollywood make-up:

• make-up base: it makes it more resistant, and this is very important in this case;
• foundation with radiant particles: the older the woman, the more important it is not to skip this point;
• highlighter: you cannot become truly dazzling without it;
• eyeliner: the arrows must be perfect;
• shadows of the base palette with shining particles;
• black pencil with good shading;
• lipstick of the ideal tone for a specific color type (always bright);
• blush: the "apples" of the cheeks should be highlighted;
• bronzer: without contouring anywhere;
• eyebrow pencil / gel: they should be fine, hair to hair.

Yes, this list is short, because Hollywood makeup requires subtleties: concealer, corrector, shimmers and, of course, different brushes for correct, flawless application. This, incidentally, is the case when false eyelashes are in place.

As already mentioned, the complexion must be flawless. To do this, it is not enough just to apply tonal means, you also need to prepare the skin a little in advance. Do not eat sweet, spicy, peppery and salty a couple of days before the events. Do not overuse your tan. And, of course, get enough sleep. The skin must be regularly moisturized, and irritation must be dealt with quickly and competently. Collagen sheet masks the day before the event will also not be superfluous.

A light moisturizer is applied to clean skin, literally a drop. The next layer will be a make-up base. It can be a silicone-based product: it is quite heavy for a daily make-up, but in cases of special outlets it works perfectly. Such a product can even even out small wrinkles, that is, it creates the perfect skin (as much as possible) for applying tone.

Apply concealer to the T-shaped area, and then gently blend it. Precisely softly, this is important. The perfect blending tool is a beauty blender. If there are dark circles under the eyes, apply a peach or pale pink concealer to the richest point of the circles. This is followed by a foundation, and it is applied to the skin tone, no too dark or too light shades. When applying the tone, you need to go a little on the neckline and décolleté, otherwise the mask effect cannot be avoided: it will be comical, all the makeup will fail.

Next comes the contouring, this is a very important stage. From the middle of the ear, you need to draw a dark line along the bone, almost reaching the wing of the nose. For this, a suitable tone from the palette is used, it is not necessary to darken very much. With the same shade, you should walk along the oval of the face along the hairline, and touch the wings of the nose. When contouring the nose, you need to make a vertical strip in the middle, the width of which will be no more than 0.5 cm.

To fix the tone, you need to go over the entire face with transparent powder. Here is such a multi-stage process is the processing of the skin, the creation of tone in the Hollywood make-up.

They must be perfect. Therefore, even a miss in the shade of a pencil ruins all makeup.

Let's see how you can highlight the eyebrows.

1. The natural hairline should be emphasized with a dark pencil: it can be chocolate and graphite, for natural brunettes - black. There is a secret: the eyebrow line should be in harmony with the shape of the lips. If the lip line is curved, the eyebrows follow that curve.
2. It's time to apply the gel to the hairs: yes, right now, after drawing only one line.
3. And now the pencil can be shaded: the gel will do its job, and the shading will be neat.

There is no need to try to make the eyebrows exaggeratedly massive, even if the fashion convinces of this. Hollywood makeup is quite conservative, and very wide eyebrows will suit only those for whom they are natural, and for whom such eyebrows are a "business card" of the face. For the rest, such exaggeration can ruin the whole impression of makeup.

Hollywood make-up often uses the smokey ice technique, here it will really be appropriate. It is only better to know in advance whether it is going or not: in some cases, the smoky ice is very old.

Smokey ice is done in stages as follows.

1. On the eyelids and the area that is adjacent to them, the base is applied under the shadow.
2. With a wide brush, pearlescent shadows are applied to the entire movable eyelid, preferably a light gray scale.
3. Starting from the middle of the century, you need to distribute graphite shadows towards the outer corners. The color transition should be well shaded.
4. An arrow is drawn with a beveled brush with black shadows: from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner, along the ciliary line.
5. An arrow is also drawn on the lower eyelid, clear boundaries should be shaded.
6. You can take up mascara, voluminous here will be preferable. If you want to enhance the effect, use false eyelashes.

Let's see how to make Hollywood-style arrows step by step.

1. Beige shadows are applied to the eyelids.
2. When using false eyelashes, it's time to stick them on.
3. The line along the growth of the eyelashes is painted over with a black soft pencil, the joint is covered.
4. Using a medium-thick liner, an arrow is delicately drawn, it should be extended beyond the boundaries of the outer corner. The longer the arrow, the brighter you need to make your eyelashes.

Arrows go to the owners of brown, green, gray, and blue eyes. The main thing is to stop in time and not make the make-up oriental, Arabic.

First you need to outline them with a neutral pencil: this is done to create volume. And then apply lipstick. An important point is that it must be matte. Red looks best, but purple hues are also found. It is optimal if the lipstick is applied with a brush.

Only occasionally in Hollywood make-up are beige, caramel, sandy shades of lipstick used. But this is done when a deliberately golden gamut predominates in makeup, usually this is due to the choice of an outfit. And yet, red is considered more classic, because where else to wear it (on the lips), if not to such outlets.

You can look at the perfect Hollywood makeup with examples of stars of different types.
