Secrets of perfect makeup

The ideal makeup is the one that best matches the woman's face, mood and reason for applying it. Too bright, excessive, not holistic, but as if disintegrating, will attract attention, but only with its structure and an attempt to disassemble this "cosmetic puzzle". But the make-up is intended to beautify and emphasize the individuality of a woman, and not to use the face only as an excuse to brag about the possibilities of cosmetics. You can learn the perfect make-up by listening to the masters, knowing cool beauty tricks, understanding the peculiarities of your own appearance.

If you want to make a really cool make-up, you shouldn't skimp on tools. In addition, they usually serve for a long time, and good, high-quality things repeatedly justify themselves.

What brushes are required for makeup:

• foundation brush;
• brush with which concealer is applied;
• powder brush;
• blush tool;
• flat brush for shadows;
• lip brush;
• a brush with a pointed tip.

If the brushes are purchased, it's time to study them and try them in business. The first and common mistake for beginners is to keep the brushes very close to the hairs. And you need to keep it approximately in the middle. Although there may be personal differences here too, it is a matter of convenience.

Professional makeup artists often emphasize that they prefer to work with small brushes. Even if they have to work on a large area.A small brush is more virtuosic and not so "clumsy", it is easier to work out the details with it.

Someone famous from the world of visage said: "Tone is a high-quality canvas, if you took cheap paper, you can't paint a masterpiece on it." However, misfires with the choice of foundation are more common than you might imagine. Although it has been several decades since the time when it was presented in the country with a pair of tubes "Ballet".

What is a foundation for:

• evens out skin tone;
• refreshes the face;
• moisturizes (many creams have such a component);
• prolongs the action of the day cream;
• gives shine;
• can provide a light tanning effect.

10 tips for choosing a foundation are presented below.

• You need to focus on your skin type. Dry skin benefits from a light texture with a moisturizing effect. Oily cream with a matting effect is required. If the skin is problematic, a cream labeled "non-comedogenic" is needed. Well, for the owners of combination skin, it makes sense to add powder to the foundation, using the latter on the T-zone.

• Foundations of different shades, in fact, very few people need. It is enough to choose one, but one hundred percent suitable. You need to focus on the natural skin tone.

• The cream is selected according to the priority need. If you want to reliably protect the skin from oily sheen, take a cream with a matting effect. If shine is more important, with reflective particles. The moisturizer may contain hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

• If the original skin tone is light with a cool undertone, the choice of foundation is light beige. If the skin is light and the undertone is warm, a peach tone is needed. Olive skin is suitable for golden and beige tones, for very dark skin - terracotta and bronze.

• Testing the product on your wrist is pointless. Only on the face, but actually, on the neck.

• In winter and summer - different colors. This is not an axiom, but a wish that will not be superfluous. In the cold season, a foundation is more appropriate, which will be 1 tone warmer than a natural shade. A cream with reflective particles is also good for winter. In the summer, when the skin is tanned, you need to take this into account, you may have to take a darker cream for a couple of tones.

• When choosing a cream, you need to evaluate its texture, it should be comfortable. The option "endure - fall in love" will not work, an uncomfortable, unpleasant tactile cream will vegetate in the cosmetic bag.

• There are a lot of foundations, cream is only one of them, albeit the main one on the list. If your skin needs matting, a powder cream is a good solution. If the skin is dry or age-related manifestations have already affected, a serum is needed. The mousse has a delicate texture.

• A separate story is BB cream and CC cream. The first is a fairly dense product, but nevertheless it fits easily, adjusts to the skin tone, and has a high percentage of caring components. The second also cares for the skin, and also corrects tone, shade, hides pigmentation, etc.

• When choosing a foundation, the composition must be read. It is good if the cream contains natural oils, proxylan, vitamins, plant extracts, etc.

Make-up secrets are a lot of universal advice, classic recommendations and author's findings. You can choose the perfect make-up for yourself at any age and with any budget. The main thing, when choosing a landmark (photo of models, professional make-up), is to check with the time when this photo was taken. What was popular and relevant, for example, 10-20 years ago, does not work today. And if young girls are more open to experiments, it is time for women after 45 to think about lifting makeup, an equally interesting and cool beauty tool, just with its own characteristics.

Consider step by step the steps that will help you make beautiful makeup at home.

• Women love to apply foundation, concealer, powder on top - and you're done. But the powder must be blotted with a napkin, otherwise the tone will be overly dense. Someone will definitely say "a mountain of plaster" about such a make-up.

• The application of cosmetics to the eyelids can precede the application of the tone. The rule is not strictly necessary, but it is really more convenient. Because if the eye makeup is to be thorough, shadows and mascara can crumble on the induced tone, and it will have to be corrected. Double work, and not the fact that with a successful ending.

• There is such a cool thing as a beauty blender. This is a sponge that must be moistened with water. It helps to avoid streaks on the skin, to achieve extremely natural coverage.

• The correct move is to first apply a balm to your lips. This will moisturize them thoroughly, and by the time the rest of the makeup is done, the lips will be prepared for lipstick, contour or shine and will accept these products better.

• When using dry highlighters, it's best to use a flat, small brush. It makes it easier to blend the product on the protruding parts.

• On the face, of course, you can draw, shape any eyebrows. But if everyone is now wearing thick, sun-combed eyebrows, do not worry if, like everyone else, it does not work out. Because for women with small facial features, such fashionable eyebrows are of little use. Her expression becomes more severe with them.

• You can paint over eyelashes with mascara in 2-3 layers. But between the layers you need to withstand 10 seconds, a little respite. During this time, the mascara dries out, which will relieve the effect of glued eyelashes.

• If you want a matte lipstick, you need to make sure your lips look perfect. If they have peeling, they are dry, cracked, a matte product will only emphasize these defects. And it certainly won't add moisture to your lips. And they are clearly asking for it.

• If the mascara is on your skin, you don't even need to try to remove it with your fingers. A cotton pad is also awkward in this matter. But the cotton swab copes with everything in one moment.

• Mixing a foundation with a highlighter is the right decision. And it is suitable for everyday makeup.

• If the skin is aging, it is better to take a primer with a pinkish undertone. This way you can get rid of the feeling of dullness on your face. And this is one of the main anti-aging tricks.

• Smooth arrows emphasize age, wrinkles on the eyelids. But shaded, on the contrary, hide.

• Eyebrow gel is still an unfairly underestimated remedy. Colored helps light eyebrows to acquire a persistent desired shade, transparent - "calms down" dark eyebrows.

• Oil can be used instead of a highlighter. For those with oily skin, just a little, for the rest - as needed. This glow will be more natural.

The stars who follow their appearance especially strenuously become the authors of beauty tricks themselves or remember what the top stylists do with them. Fortunately, many stellar secrets are available to the whole world.

• And stars have dropped eyes, but to visually correct the situation, Eva Green and En Hathaway paint over the inner corner of the eye, brightly and accentuated. Thus, switching attention from the lowered corner to the inner one.

• Small eyes are not a problem at all, at least Jennifer Aniston and Renee Zelweger were able to become favorites of the audience and with such a relative disadvantage. But they were helped by the correct make-up - shading on the lower eyelid, emphasis on eyelashes and soft smokey ice.

• A drooping eyelid can make the face look tired, but if you use matte shadows in light shades, how Blake Lovely does it, the nuance seems to disappear.

• Huge eyes like Mila Kunis, often confuse their owners, they do not seem very harmonious to them. To remedy the situation, you need to paint over the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. And the arrows will help the round eyes move closer to the almond shape.

• Red-haired girls like Cynthia Dicker, you should focus on the lips. Scarlet, ruby, raspberry, there is a selection of lipsticks that will help women of such a bright type to look organic. But the eyes and eyebrows can be "unloaded".

• Angelina Jolie has been copied for 20 years, and not only with the help of make-up, but also with plastics. You should not reshape yourself, there can be only one Jolie anyway, but using tricks from her make-up history is a quick way to transform. The actress prefers smoky eye makeup, actively mixes dark and light shades, and her eyelashes are lush and clearly divided.

• Bella Hadid is hard to imagine without arrows, and her type of appearance really seems to be made for predatory, seductive shooters. And the model selects the color of the eyeliner to match the outfit.

• Sarah Jessica Parker is a role model for those womenthat are not close to the classical canons of beauty. But heavy, rugged facial features can look charming when presented correctly. Sarah always focused on the eyes, if not with a bright make-up, then with impeccable mascara, which emphasized the blue color of the eyes.

• Eva Longoria actively brightens the nasolabial folds and the area under the eyes - it really makes the face more open and removes signs of fatigue.
