We do professional makeup

Professional makeup is immediately noticeable precisely because there is nothing superfluous and excessive in it. A woman with such a make-up looks confident, open, because there are no flaws in professional makeup. It is as complementary as possible to a woman's appearance, removes flaws, emphasizes the merits and is focused on the individuality of the image.

For years, many women can do makeup that does not fit either their color type or type, without seeing the best version of themselves regarding makeup. That is why it is worth contacting the pros without waiting for a reason: under any pretext to come to the makeup artist so that he shows the difference between make-up at home (intuitive) and professional.

Professional makeup helps:

• align the proportions of the face, hide the asymmetry;
• remove redness and pigmentation;
• mask the bruises under the eyes;
• choose cosmetics that are optimal in color / shade, texture;
• find your own version of daytime and / or evening make-up, which will become a reference point for the client.

Of course, most often people come to a make-up artist about: a wedding, an anniversary, a graduation party, an office party, and so on. An event where you need to look especially good should be complemented not only with an appropriate outfit and hair style, but also with professional makeup. Usually it is quite persistent, it can last more than one day, but it is unlikely that you will have to wear it longer than a day - going to bed with makeup is harmful to the skin, at least.

Another question is that after a professional make-up session, many women think about the need to improve their beauty education. This means that they want to master professional makeup in order to properly do it at home. And this is real.

The list of tools varies in the recommendations of each pro, but there is a base that is found almost everywhere. Because a professional make-up is built on it.

Here's what it takes to create this makeup.

• Products for the base. The base is what will be the best foundation for the applied products. It will provide uniformity and durability to the makeup, will not spread and smudge.

• Products for toning. The tone is quite difficult to create: foundation, BB cream, powder, highlighter, concealer, corrector - and that's not all you may need.

• Contouring kit. In the era of Kim Kardashian, contouring became the strongest weapon of beauty, it helps to sculpt the face, change features and proportions without plastics. So, you can always make your cheekbones more noticeable, a graceful nose, a less rough chin.

• Eye products. Eyeshadows, liners, kayals, eyeliners, mascaras and pencils - eye makeup is also not easy, especially if we are not talking about everyday make-up.

• Eyebrow products. The eyebrows are the area on the face that has been elevated to a cult in recent years. If you have good, well-groomed eyebrows, you will need less make-up, because they add expressiveness to the face. To emphasize them, you will need a pencil, shadows, gel.

• Blush and bronzers. Rare makeup can do without blush, but being able to apply it correctly, picking it up is a whole art.

• Lip products. Lipsticks, glosses, gels, pencils make lips more clearly defined, more voluminous and attractive.

This list contains only categories of cosmetics, but there will be much more of them. For professional make-up, you will definitely need a set of brushes and sponges; without this, the application of cosmetics cannot be called high-quality. And also the master uses a professional mirror with illumination - if there is no such at home, you just need high-quality (ideally daylight) lighting.

Well, training always starts with the first master class. You can try yourself to do what beauty influencers masterfully do in vlogs, and what you would like to repeat with your own hands. Professional makeup is applied in stages, section by section.

It consists in cleansing the face. There should be nothing on it: traces of past cosmetics, sweat, grease, dust. Whether you are using milk, toner, lotion, or micellar water, be sure to cleanse your face. It is always more convenient to apply makeup on prepared, well-groomed skin. At least well hydrated. On the eve of the event, for which the make-up is carried out, you can make a nourishing tissue mask with a deep moisturizing effect. And it is also very important to get a good night's sleep, then you will not have to retouch the bags under the eyes and puffiness.

Not everyone uses it, and laymen may never have heard of it. It is effective in that it helps to increase the durability of the foundation, to make the skin tone even. The product is distributed along the massage lines of the face. Its structure is such that it relieves the feeling of a mask on the skin.

Two tonal bases in a cosmetic bag are required: one of the light category, that is, suitable for everyday make-up, the second is dense, for special occasions. The foundation is applied to both the neck and décolleté. This is one of the obligatory features of professional make-up, which will not end exactly with the face (which can create a negative effect - “the head is separate, the neck is separate”).

Concealer is used after tone. It perfectly masks age spots, even large, dark circles. It is also sometimes called a proofreader, and rightfully so.The face is not uniform, if you compare it with a canvas, the area under the eyes is darker, the skin can be irritated, rashes, pigmentation. It is logical that just one tone will not even out the skin, that some places need correction. That's what concealer is for.

Contouring is a technique that needs to be learned almost more than anything else in the make-up. To emphasize the cheekbones, narrow the nose, change the face (in fact, this is so), you need to be a bit of an artist, to understand the principles of light and shadow. You can learn this on your own, but you will have to watch more than one video tutorial.

You can pre-apply a special eye shadow primer on your eyelids, which will allow them to gain a foothold. Shadows often crumble during application, so that this does not happen, a napkin is placed under the lower eyelashes. Otherwise, there is a risk of blurring the tone, and it is not easy to correct it.

The requirements for the shadows are not so great, the main thing is that the palette has classic and popular shades, the cosmetics are of high quality, and it is easy to apply. The makeup artist has a lot of eyeshadow brushes, and anyone trying to become one at home should also have more than one eye shadow brush.

This is the name of a soft pencil that perfectly emphasizes the expressiveness of the eyes. It visually enlarges the eyelashes. But bright arrows are an option for an evening out; in everyday make-up, a brown pencil is often used, which does not remain a clear line on the eyelid, but is shaded.

You need to find your pencil to match the eyebrow color. Today, the main trend in eyebrow makeup is combing them up with the "sun". They don't have to be graphic, perfectly laid out. You need to draw a dark line that repeats the base of the eyebrow (that is, the growth line), then apply the gel to the hairs, and use a pencil that is gently shaded directly over the gel.

Experts often use a curler - a tool for curling eyelashes. But, it is worth noting that false eyelashes can also be used in a professional make-up (for evening and festive occasions). Eyelashes are always painted with mascara in an evening make-up, in everyday life - this is either one layer, or in some cases it is possible without it. But then eyelash balm does not hurt.

They are applied to the apples of the cheeks in small quantities. Do not overuse dark blush, they have signs of age-related makeup. Pink, soft berry shades, soft peach shades are much more successful and are considered more versatile.

Professionals often do the contour of the lips with a pencil, but only in the color of lipstick or gloss. Then the lip make-up will be more persistent, the beauty of the natural shape will be traced (sometimes with subtle correction).

Eye color, of course, affects the features of makeup, but not as significantly as is often written in express recommendations. Therefore, everything is important in general: skin tone, facial contours, hair color, eyebrows and much more.

Accents in eye makeup depending on their color.

• Brown. Pale shades of lilac and pink, lavender, gold and expressive green shadows look almost safe. Dark blue and dark green products are often used as eyeliner. Black ink is beyond competition.

• Green. Such eyes go with brown, peach, golden and bronze shades of shadows. Warm pinks, purples, plums and lilacs are also suitable. But cold shades should be avoided. Highlighter under the eyebrows will be a good addition. The eyeliner is often chosen golden or bronze.

• Blue and gray eyes. They can be combined into one group, because makeup really has a lot in common. Shadows use deep brown, dark gray, golden, peach, purple and pink. The shadows should be darker than the color of the eyes.It is better to take a brown eyeliner, it will look brighter.

And a few more tricks that will help you quickly master the stages of learning makeup.

The nuances of a professional make-up:

• cosmetics cannot be stored in the bathroom - a warm and humid environment shortens the shelf life of the products, and is also beneficial for the growth of bacteria (in cosmetics as well);
• for styling eyebrows, you can use men's mustache wax, it is very persistent, makes a good shape;
• to hide small wrinkles on the eyes, you should use matte shadows;
• pink and reddish shades of blush are always applied to the apples of the cheeks, peach - on the line slightly above the cheekbones, bronze - always under the cheekbones;
• when choosing a lipstick in a store, the probe must be applied to the fingertips, this will be the most accurate choice;
• the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid often gives out the so-called fatigue of the eyes, a light pencil on the mucous membrane "opens" the eyes, adds volume, dark - makes the look like a cat;
• there is no need to be afraid of experiments and discoveries - for example, some supervisors who work with world stars remove makeup with baby shampoo.

In the examples below, you can consider specific "hooks" of a cool make-up - what clings, what sets the mood, which allows you to correctly represent a certain type of appearance.

Examples with tips.

• A universal make-up that will be good both day and evening. It is based on the ideal tone and naturalness, and nothing more.

• Lips and shadows can match in shade, and also the blush will be "third". The result is such charming organics.

• Perfect arrows on the eyes of one and the Hadid sisters, and mascara can be used just lengthening. But for an evening out and fake eyelashes are not a crime.

• Nude lipstick is still in trend, as are the "fluffy" eyebrows. Eye accent is always good for celebrations and special occasions.

• The relevance of bright shadows is evident in this example: a bright blue color can slightly change the shade of the eyes.

• And again, an example about bright shadows, they are very refreshing - the face becomes more expressive, you cannot take your eyes off such a woman.

• A lot of sparkle and shine is a trend that suits both young girls and older women.

• The importance of eyebrow beauty does not seem to be outdone. At this point you don't know what to look at, lips or eyes. Too much for a daytime make-up, ideal for a solemn one.

• Maximum naturalness and emphasis on the upper lash line. Every part of the face is affected by cosmetics, but overall the image is light.

• Makeup that is not visible. A light tone, slightly drawn eyelashes, styled eyebrows and lips barely touched by lipstick - you will not undermine.

Good luck!
