How to paint correctly at home?

Everyone can learn to do beautiful makeup at home. Having mastered the basic rules for applying cosmetics, you can look well-groomed and beautiful in any situation.

The first step is to be able to choose the right quality cosmetics for yourself.

• The foundation. The foundation should ideally match the person's skin type. When buying a product, it is recommended to test it not on the hands, but on the cheek. It's important to see how your foundation looks in daylight.

• Concealer. This product should be one shade lighter than the main product. To create makeup, you can use both a dry product and a product with a brush. Both are equally easy to apply to the skin.

• Powder. This tool is consumed rather slowly. Therefore, a novice makeup artist can buy a very small package of powder.

• Shadows. A beginner's makeup artist's kit should have at least one small eyeshadow palette. As a rule, girls buy neutral shades first. They can be used to create both casual and evening looks.

• Mascara. Good mascara can be bought for little money. At the same time, the product will not be inferior in quality to more expensive analogues. The main thing is to choose the means that help to achieve the desired result. This can be mascara, curling or lengthening eyelashes. In the makeup bag of a novice makeup artist, you should buy a brown or black product. Ideally, mascara should be several shades darker than your hair.

• Eyebrow pencil. To draw the hairs, you can use both a pencil and shadows. The selected product should be one tone lighter than a person's eyebrows. Girls with naturally dark eyebrows can do without such a makeup product.

• Pomade. It is also recommended to test the lipstick on the lips and not on the fingers. Lipstick can be both classic and made in the form of a cream. The lip palette is much more convenient to use. After all, it contains several different shades of lip products at once.

Therefore, it is important to study the product description and find the expiration date before purchasing. You shouldn't use cheap copies of original cosmetics. This can lead to skin rashes. The same applies to all tools that are used in the makeup application process. They must be of high quality and soft. Otherwise, they will scratch the skin of the face.

In the process of applying makeup, it is important to adhere to the following rules.

• It is very important to cleanse your skin before applying cosmetics. If this is not done, the foundation will not hide the existing imperfections, but emphasize them.
• It is necessary to prepare the skin, taking into account its characteristics. If it is dry, it should be well moisturized, if it is oily, matte. Ladies with mature skin should use products with a lifting effect.
• You need to take care of the condition of your eyebrows in advance. If they look messy, it will also ruin the overall make-up impression. The best option is the natural shape of the eyebrows.
• When applying cosmetics, it is very important to know when to stop. Too much foundation and other products make your look look messy.
• Good makeup can only be done with the right lighting. It is best if it is natural. If this is not possible, it is worth painting in a room with bright light.

All cosmetic products are applied to the skin in a specific sequence. It is this order that allows you to make your makeup neat and attractive.

The step-by-step preparation process begins with makeup remover. The skin is cleansed with micellar water or a special foam. After using these products, wash yourself well and pat dry your face with a paper towel. Next, a small amount of moisturizer should be applied to the skin. This product should be absorbed well.

Foundation can be applied to prepared skin. It can be either a thick cream or a light liquid product. It is best to distribute the foundation over the skin with a special soft brush or a convenient beauty blender. Having evened out the tone of the face, the T-zone can be additionally fixed with powder. This will get rid of the extra shine.

The next stage of makeup is contouring. It allows you to correct the shape of the face. For this, you can use both light highlighters and brown correctors. The first product is applied to the bridge of the nose and cheekbones. They are also given a check mark above the upper lip and the inner part of the eye. A dark corrector is used to highlight the hairline, sides of the nose and the area under the chin. This allows you to make your face slimmer and more graceful. To learn how to do this for yourself, you need to practice a little at home.

Having finished with the make-up of the face, you can start dyeing the eyebrows. To begin with, the hairs are combed up. Next, draw a thin line with a light pencil or shadows. It must be shaded with a brush.

To shape the brows, you can use matte shadows and a beveled brush or hard pencil. When the makeup is ready, the hairs must be fixed with a transparent gel.If a girl wants to make a natural make-up, you can get by with one fixative.

You can paint your eyes in different ways. At the beginning of any makeup, a primer base is applied to the eyelids. This allows the makeup to last longer. In addition, shadows fit better on such a foundation. You need to distribute the primer over the skin with gentle touches of the fingers. After that, you can proceed to the distribution of the color pigment over the surface of the eyelids. Dark shadows are applied to the outer corner of the eye. This same product is distributed at the base of the eyelid. The lower lash line can also be tinted with dark shadows. After that, all shadows must be carefully shaded.

Next, bright shadows are applied to the base of the eye. The rich pigment is carefully shaded. Lighter shadows are applied nearby. The transitions between different shades should be smooth. When everything is ready, the eyes can be emphasized with eyeliner or pencil. Arrows can also be made using shadows. Apply them with a thin beveled brush. To make the look wide open, the mucous membrane can be emphasized with a light pink pencil. The final stage is the application of mascara to the eyelids. To create a daytime look, it is enough to paint over the upper edges of the eyelashes. A sophisticated evening make-up is created in a different way. Apply 2-3 layers of mascara on the eyelashes. This draws attention to the eyes.

Lip makeup can be done with lipstick or gloss. Usually the emphasis is on either the eyes or the lips. Therefore, if a person has already used bright shadows, you should not complement them with too dark or bright lipstick. Moisten the lips before applying the product. This will increase the durability of the make-up, as well as protect the skin from flaking. The pigment is best applied to the skin with a small brush. The product is spread from the center to the edges.

This step is optional, but it helps to make the makeup look more permanent. To fix cosmetics, a universal fixative or thermal water is usually used. They are applied by moving the bottle a short distance from the face.

In order not to spoil the simplest step-by-step makeup, novice makeup artists should avoid the following mistakes.

• Lack of base. Any make-up master class begins with the use of a base. If you skip this step, the make-up will not last as long as we would like.
• Incorrectly matched face tone. If you make this mistake, a "mask" will appear on the face. This will make the image look unnatural.
• Light lips. At the beginning of this millennium, light lips were in vogue. Now this trend is already a thing of the past. Therefore, it is not recommended to use light lipsticks and lip glosses. This will only add soreness to the image.
• Incorrect use of shadows. Pearlescent products should not be used for daytime makeup. In the morning it is better to work with matte and light products.
• An abundance of highlighter. This is another brilliant product that can be easily overdone. The highlighter must be used carefully. Otherwise, the make-up will turn out to be unnatural.
• Poorly shaded pigment on the eyes. It is very important to blend the shadows on the eyes well. Therefore, you should not use cheap applicators to work with them. They put too much pigment on the eyelids. It is almost impossible to shade the product well with them.
• An abundance of powder. A face that is too matte will look like a mask. Therefore, it is necessary to apply powder to the skin in a small amount.
• Improper use of matte lipstick. This product should not be applied to dry lips or cracked skin. In this case, she will only highlight all the existing shortcomings.
