Makeup ideas for a green dress

A green dress is a spectacular outfit that can emphasize the bright individuality and dignity of its owner's appearance. In order for the female image in which such a dress is used to look harmonious and catchy, special attention should be paid to the choice of suitable makeup. Consider what makeup options are best suited to a green outfit.

One of the important rules that should be followed when creating makeup for a green outfit is thorough preliminary preparation of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. A green outfit, according to makeup artists, like no other is able to emphasize and make visible even the smallest skin imperfections, not to mention pimples, bruises and bags under the eyes, redness, inflammation or unhealthy pallor. Thus, before applying the make-up, the owner of a luxurious green dress should make sure that her skin looks perfect.

This requires:

• cleanse the skin with lotion or tonic (for dry flaky skin, preliminary light peeling is also indicated);
• apply a moisturizer;
• apply a makeup base.

After that, they proceed to applying the foundation, the shade of which should correspond to your own skin color. For very pale girls, makeup artists recommend using tonal agents that are 0.5-1 tone darker (in this case, the agent should be evenly applied not only to the face, but also to the neck, and to the upper part of the décolleté).

Another important rule that must be followed when making a make-up for a green dress is in using a palette of shades that strictly match the color of the outfit. Below will be presented the colors and shades of decorative cosmetics, which are most harmoniously combined with green.

Stylists often call green too self-sufficient color, which looks spectacular and catchy without combining it with other shades. However, to create a multifaceted and visually complete female image, experts still combine outfits of this color with harmonious shades in makeup.

So, the following shades are most successfully combined with green:

• golden, sand, beige, bronze;

• cream, coral, pale pink;

• graphite gray, smoky gray, black;

• transparent pearlescent (without pronounced shine);

• pale lilac, calm pale blue.

Besides, green color organically combines with all shades of its group. However, the following important nuance should be noted here, which is that green can be both warm and cold. The warm range includes all green shades, in which the yellow spectrum predominates - pistachio, lemon, herbaceous.

The cold range includes shades close to the blue and blue spectrum - mint, emerald, malachite, jade. Given this fact, make-up artists recommend that when choosing eyeshadows in makeup for a green dress, focus on the nature of the color of the outfit - cold or warm.

When choosing lipstick or lip gloss, make-up artists recommend sticking to natural shades - coral, pale pink, pale red. Experts advise to observe no less caution when choosing a blush - their shade should also be as natural as possible.

Let's imagine two basic makeup options that can be used to match a modest daytime dress or a luxurious green evening dress.

Daytime nude - a universal version of a make-up that will look appropriate not only during the day, but also in the evening. In this case, a green dress will emphasize the naturalness of the image and the natural dignity of the appearance. The scheme for applying the make-up in this case will look like this:

• a tonal foundation is applied to cleansed and moisturized skin;

• minor cosmetic defects are leveled with a corrector;

• a highlighter is applied to the upper part of the cheekbones, to the brow space and in the area of ​​the corners of the eyes;

• a small amount of dark beige or pale coffee shade is carefully applied to the lower and upper eyelids and shaded with the applicator;

• the contour of the eyebrows is emphasized with a pencil or shadows of dark brown, dark gray shades;

• lengthening mascara is applied to the upper and lower lashes.

The final stage is the application on the lips of a translucent matte gloss or matte lipstick, which has the most natural shade - pale pink, pinkish beige, pale red.

The technique of applying one of the lightest options for evening make-up under a green dress is no less simple and provides for the step-by-step implementation of the following steps:

• thorough preparation (cleansing, moisturizing) of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté;

• applying a makeup base containing reflective particles (this will visually make the skin look fresher);

• application and even distribution of the tonal base corresponding to your own skin tone (the product is applied not only to the face, but also to the neck, and also, if necessary, to the décolleté area);

• slight lightening of the glabellar and nasolabial folds, as well as areas under the eyes with a corrector.

After that, with light jerky movements they emphasize the contour and shape of the eyebrows using shadows or a pencil, then apply the shadows of the desired shade to the upper eyelid and carefully blend them. Further, using a thin applicator, these same shadows gently emphasize the contour of the lower eyelid and contour the growth line of the lower and upper eyelashes with a dark brown, dark gray or black eyeliner or pencil. The final stage is the coloring of the upper and lower eyelashes with lengthening mascara, matched to the tone of the eyeliner.

For blondes with a cold shade of hair and light eyes, makeup artists recommend using pearl gray or gray-blue eyeshadows. Owners of brown, red or jet-black hair, in turn, are advised to look at the shades of golden brown, bronze or gray-brown tones.

Makeup artists recommend choosing mascara for a green dress, focusing on the color of the eyes and hair. So, dark-haired and red-haired girls with dark eyes are best suited for dark brown and even black mascara. For owners of dark hair and light eyes, experts advise using lengthening brown mascara. This mascara will perfectly complement the makeup of blonde girls with dark eyes.

For fair-haired girls with light eyes, makeup artists recommend giving preference to mascara in dark gray shades. It will allow you to create a natural make-up while emphasizing the depth of the look.

As an example of a simple but effective make-up for a green dress, this sample can be cited. In this case, the accents are placed on the eyes and bright, carmine-red lips of the model. It should be noted that the jade shade of the eyeshadows in this make-up exactly matches the color of the dress.

Here's another great example of makeup. The model is Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, whose hypnotic gray eyes were successfully highlighted by makeup artists with pale brown shadows and contour black eyeliner. Another emphasis is placed on the lips, covered with a pink-brown gloss.
