It is important to tint not only the outline of the face and throat, but also the ears, as well as the area under the chin and the back of the neck. If this is not done, a mask effect will occur.
- The tone should be applied in a well-lit room in daylight. You can even go to a window with a small mirror. Only then will the flaws be clearly visible.
- For convenience, you can squeeze a little cream into your palm, and then dip a brush or sponge into it.
- The tone begins to be applied from the center of the face, gradually moving to the edges.
If there is a need to adjust the shape of your face, you should use 2 shades of foundation - one that matches your skin color and a darker one. The main tone is applied to the entire face, the contrast tone is applied only to certain areas. 
- To visually narrow a round face, you need to darken the area of the temples and cheeks.
- A dark cream applied to its base and center will help to visually reduce the chin on an elongated face.
- Owners of a heart-shaped face should camouflage the lateral areas of the cheekbones and the temporal region. This technique will visually narrow the upper part of the face and soften the contrast with its pointed base.
- To make the chin less heavy on a trapezoidal face, the cream is more dark shade placed on the lower jaw and under the cheekbones.

Eyeliner and eyelash tinting
To give your eyes special expressiveness, you can make an outline with a pencil or eyeliner.
There are two types of pencils - soft and hard. A hard pencil is usually used in everyday make-up, as it allows you to draw a thin line that is resistant to external influences.
Soft allows you to create a more saturated contour, as well as draw the inside of the eye. It is usually used for holiday makeup.
Liquid eyeliner is more difficult to apply, but when used skillfully it gives better results than a traditional pencil. Beginners are recommended to use the product in the form of a felt-tip pen. More experienced people can choose eyeliner with a brush.
Let's look at the process of drawing arrows step by step. If the choice fell on a pencil, then first you should:
When using liquid eyeliner you need:
- fix your elbow by placing it on the surface of a table or cabinet;
- close your eyes and slightly pull down your upper eyelid;
- make a few short strokes at the base of the eyelash growth;
- draw a common line.
Using eyeliner you can adjust the shape and size of your eyes.
To visually enlarge small eyes, you need to draw an arrow from the middle of the upper eyelid to its outer part and slightly lift its edge upward. The inner part cannot be outlined.
- A contour drawn from the inside of the eyelid to the outside will help give round eyes an almond shape. At the same time, it needs to be made wider at the edges and moved slightly beyond the eye.
- With close-set eyes, the arrow is drawn from the middle of the eyelid, gradually rising and thickening towards the outer side.
- To "reveal" narrow eyes, you should draw a thin line at the lacrimal sac, and increase its width towards the center. Such arrows are drawn on both the upper and lower eyelids.

How to apply eyelashes correctly
- In an open bottle, the mascara fully retains its properties for three months. After this, it will curl up on the eyelashes into lumps and quickly crumble.
- To make your eyelashes look beautifully curved upward, you can curl them. This can be done with special heated tongs or a spoon.
- First, mascara is applied to the roots of the eyelashes, and then the hairs are painted along the entire length.
How to apply blush
The color and location of blush largely depends on the shape of the face.
- To correct the shortcomings of a long face, apply a light shade of blush to the cheekbones.
- A delicate shade of blush applied along the cheekbones towards the corners of the lips will help to visually make a round face narrower.
- Bright blush, applied along an oblique line from the mouth to the temples, will soften the angularity of a square face.
- For diamond- and heart-shaped faces, blush should be applied directly to the cheekbones. But in the first case they should be dark in tone, and in the second - light.
Lip makeup
When applying makeup, you must follow the following rule: the emphasis should be placed either on the eyes or on the lips.
For everyday makeup Gloss or lipstick in natural light shades, such as pink, peach or caramel, are suitable.
For an evening make-up, it would be appropriate to outline your lips and apply lipstick in the appropriate tone. These can be rich shades of red, brown, purple or pink.
As you can see, doing makeup according to all the rules is not such a simple matter. But if you have the necessary knowledge and experience, you can learn to create a unique image that will not go unnoticed by others.
Makeup artists always create competent and professional makeup, first of all, according to the shape of the face. After all, this is the only way to advantageously emphasize the advantages and divert attention from the shortcomings. By determining your face type and making just a few right touches, you too can bring your image to perfection.
Determining the shape of the face
Traditionally, all face shapes in people are usually divided into eight types: oval, square, round, trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular, diamond-shaped and elongated. This classification was chosen due to its similarity with geometric shapes and the severity of some parts of the facial contour.
To determine your type, you need to stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back and trace the similarity of your face shape to a geometric figure.
- Oval
The oval shape is slightly elongated due to the wide forehead and chin. The chin is not sharp, but smoothly arched.
- Square
Square is characterized by relatively identical upper and lower halves. A wide forehead and an equally wide, angular chin. The length and width are approximately the same.
- Round
A round face is distinguished by smooth transitions from a rounded forehead to cheekbones, from cheekbones to chin. No corners, no parts too wide. This makes it appear flat.
- Trapezoid
The trapezoidal (pear-shaped) shape is characterized by a narrow top and wide bottom. Cheekbones do not stand out.
- Rectangular
The rectangular shape is elongated, the height of the face exceeds its width. The forehead is quite wide, the cheekbones are not very prominent, the chin is wide and angular.
- Triangular
A triangular face is: a narrow chin, prominent sharp cheekbones.
- Diamond-shaped
The diamond type is defined by wide cheekbones, a narrower forehead and chin.
- Extended
Many people mistake an elongated face for an oval one, but it is more elongated (one and a half times longer than its width). This makes him appear very long and thin.
Choosing cosmetics
Smart makeup for different types face includes color correction of its parts. The main task of correction is to visually remove and bring closer the necessary areas using dark and light shades. For example, raise the eyebrows, make the nose narrow, narrow the forehead, etc. All these effects are achieved with the help of the necessary cosmetic products.
To choose the right makeup for your face type, makeup artists use the following set of cosmetics:
- cleansing toner according to skin type;
- daily cream for face;
- primer;
- brightening highlighter;
- foundation of one or two shades;
- concealer;
- powder;
- blush;
- good, soft brush.
Learning to work with different forms
Let's try to figure out the details of how to choose correct makeup by face type.
- Oval
Close to ideal in its proportions. Such a face does not require adjustment unless there are serious defects. You just need to highlight your beauty with blush; Apply them smoothly along the cheekbones to the temples. If your face appears very flat, add more volume. Lighten the central part (middle of the forehead, protruding part of the nose, chin) with a lighter foundation, and darken the contours.
- Square
The purpose of makeup is to hide rough and angular parts. darken the corners of the forehead and the sharp edges of the lower jaw. Apply dark blush to the cheekbones in the shape of a triangle. To soften their expression, the hollow under the cheekbones can be slightly lightened.
Eye shadow should be one color so as not to draw attention to a wide forehead. Using a pencil, it is better to lengthen your eyes and give them an almond shape.
- Round
Makeup for round face should lengthen it if you darken the side contours and edges of the cheeks with a dark foundation or powder with a brush. Reduce the volume of your cheeks by applying blush in the form of a triangle from the cheekbones towards the lips.
You don’t have to change the eye contour, but clearly outline your own. It is better to use two-color shadows. Apply darker shadows to the moving part of the upper eyelid, and let the part under the eyebrows be lighter.
- Trapezoidal
Makeup for a trapezoidal shape should visually lighten the heavy lower jaw and make the upper third of the head wider. To do this, the chin can be darkened with brown blush, and light ones can be applied to the protruding part of the cheekbones. We use a natural shade to mark the cheekbones closer to the line of the mouth, shading towards the temples.
You can widen the upper part of your face by lengthening the contour of your eyes. It is better not to use very dark shadows; a contour and a natural tone will be enough.
- Rectangular
For a rectangular type, first darken the forehead at the hairline, using brown powder and a brush to slightly shade the lower jawline. On the contrary, lighten the side part. Apply blush horizontally in an oval shape, blending along the edges.
The lips can be slightly enlarged by applying a contour a little wider than their natural one. Outline the eyes, lighten the inner corner with shadows, and darken the outer corner.
- Triangular
A triangular face needs to be corrected with a dark shade in the lateral area of the temples and the outer part of the forehead. Apply blush smoothly along a descending line from the temples.
It is important to highlight your lips correctly. They should look round and voluminous. To visually lift low eyelids, eyes can be tinted using a vertical technique.
- Diamond-shaped
On diamond-shaped face soften pronounced corners. To do this, darken the side contour of the cheekbones and the sharp peak of the chin. It is better to apply blush on the front part, from the lip line up, not reaching the cheekbones.
- Extended
It is advisable to shorten the elongated oval vertically and expand horizontally. Tint the lower part of the chin and the upper part of the forehead with a dark shade. Horizontal blush can widen the contours.
It is better not to emphasize lips and eyes too much, but to use natural contours and natural shades.
No makeup can be imagined without foundation. First of all, you need to choose what is more suitable: powder or cream.
If the choice fell on foundation, this article will be useful for you. Thanks to the facial makeup master class, making your own makeup will not be difficult, and the result will pleasantly surprise you.
Basic rules for ideal makeup with foundation (what to consider)

Choosing a foundation shade to match your eye color
To decide on the shade of foundation, you need to pay attention to the color of your eyes. It should be remembered that the shade of the foundation should not differ radically from the color of the eyes. The darker the eyes, the darker the foundation should be.
So, for example, girls with brown eyes you need to use foundations in peach tones. The shade is more suitable for blue eyes Ivory.

The color of the curls also influences the choice of foundation.
- If you have dark hair, you should use lighter colors.
- Dark brown hair requires the use of peach tones.
- Hot brunettes use shades of tan.
- Light bases, such as ivory, go well with dark brown hair.
Face shapes and makeup
Each face type requires an individual selection of decorative cosmetics. Makeup is aimed at bringing the face shape closer to the ideal. This is considered an oval face shape. Therefore, when tinting, you need to try to bring the outline of your face closer to this geometric figure.
To perform make-up, it is enough, guided by step-by-step photos, to select foundation creams, depending on the characteristics of the skin.
Facial correction requires the selection of two shades of cream - light and dark
A dark shade will help hide some imperfections, while a light shade will draw attention to itself and highlight as much as possible those areas of the face that will create the necessary highlights. Thus, some sculpting of facial features is performed and accents are placed.
Skin type
When choosing a product, you should pay attention to its components.
- Oily skin needs the presence of vitamins A and B. To avoid the mask effect, you should avoid a dense texture.
- For dry skin, you need to choose a cream with moisturizing ingredients.
- Mature skin needs toning products with a lifting effect.
- Liquid foundation is ideal for young skin.
Necessary tools and resources
Let's consider the rules for choosing a foundation, foundation and necessary tools
Concealer. Which one is better to choose?
Foundations differ in several parameters: density, suitability to skin type, color scheme, additional effects. Let's look at the main ones.
Density:
- light coverage that slightly evens out the tone;
- medium density - corrects color deviations, creating uniformity;
- high density - creates a thick layer, often used by professionals;
The color scheme determines the final result of the makeup, it can be:
- pink;
- beige;
- yellowish;
Foundation brushes
No face makeup can be done without brushes. Step-by-step photos of foundation often demonstrate their use. Brushes can be of two types: natural and synthetic.
Natural ones are used for dry textures (powder, blush). Synthetic ones are more suitable for creamy ones. They do not absorb products, reducing their consumption. They are often chosen by stylists for applying foundation in an even layer.
Powder, blush, sponge, other
For makeup you usually need the following:
- the basis;
- concealer;
- tonal products;
- powder;
- pencils (for eyes, eyebrows);
- shadows;
- mascara;
- blush, lipstick.
It is important to follow the following rules:
- The foundation is applied with a sponge, fingers, or a short brush.
- Loose powder has a special brush.
- A flat brush is used to apply blush.
- To blend shadows, use short brushes or applicators.
- To apply lipstick you need a thin brush.
Base makeup. How to choose
Makeup bases come in several varieties:
- for face;
- under the shadows (prevents rolling);
- for lips.
All varieties have different target orientations, therefore, they are not interchangeable.
It is best to choose a base based on the properties of your own skin - whether it is dry, sensitive to irritation, or has high oil content. Since the base is the first layer that holds all the makeup and is applied under the foundation, it must meet the requirements of the skin - to maintain its moisture, or to dry it out.
It is especially important not to miss when choosing a base for sensitive skin– irritation is dangerous not only by causing discomfort, but also by more severe consequences in the form of allergic reaction, inflammation, acne.
Important to remember! When using a sponge, it must be washed every 3 days to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Step-by-step instructions for makeup with foundation
Before you begin to even out your complexion, you need to properly prepare your skin.
Preparing the face for applying foundation
The advantage of foundation on the face is its ease of application and hydration of the skin during step-by-step makeup application. Numerous photographs show positive result. Half the success in applying makeup depends on proper preparation.
A clean face guarantees an even tone It is necessary to cleanse the skin and tone it. After applying the moisturizer, at least 15 minutes should pass. After this time, you can apply foundation. If during this time base cream is not absorbed, its excess is removed with a sponge or napkin.
Some types of leather require special attention in preparation:
- skin prone to oiliness must be cleansed with a special gel or foam;
- skin with acne requires the use of a special deep cleansing mask, it is good if it contains medicinal herbs;
- Apply your usual day cream (but not for children) to flaky skin; after 15 minutes you can begin applying foundation.
Step 1. Applying concealer
After cleansing your face, if you have some skin problems (inflammation, oily skin, scars, moles, pimples), you must use one of the concealers that are presented in different forms and composition.
Let's consider the main ones:
- Toning gel
Its use guarantees the concealment of freckles, acne marks and enlarged pores. Gives a mattifying effect. Easy to apply and spread over the face using a sponge;
- Concealer cream
Helps hide small wrinkles, spots on the face, evens out skin color. A small amount of it should be distributed with a sponge and gently blended.
- Masking pencil

Concealer pencil - shades - Concealer
Presented as a granular substance various shades. Dry concealer will disguise unevenness, and mixed with cream will visually remove small rashes and small fatty spots. It should be applied with a wide powder brush. It is unacceptable to apply liquid foundation over powder concealer.
- Color correctors
They are designated as a separate group of corrective products, where orange concealer hides dark circles under the eyes, lilac concealer removes yellowness, green conceals pink acne marks and allergic rashes. To apply them to the problem area, 2-3 drops are enough.
Step 2. Correction of face shape (T-zone, chin and neck)
The oval plays an important role in facial modeling. Correct facial makeup is used to correct it. The step-by-step photo reminds you: foundation must be used correctly and have at least two tones. Use light in the center of the face, and darker on areas that need to be hidden..
If the tinting agent matches the skin color, tinting the neck is not necessary, but it is necessary to powder it along with the T-shaped zone (forehead, nose and chin area).
Facial correction directly depends on its shape. Using dark and light tones you can visually reduce or enlarge certain parts.
The face shape is represented by the following types:
- The shape is in the form of a regular oval. Often there is no need for modeling; in extreme cases, it requires a minimum of effort.
- Round face. Characterized by the same dimensions of length and width. The face itself has a round oval. For correction, it is necessary to apply a darker shade of the product to the submandibular area, as well as to the sides of the face.
- Square. It is characterized by a massive lower jaw, equal proportions regarding vertical and horizontal dimensions. To lighten the lower front part, more dark shade distribute on the lower jaw and in the corners of the forehead.
- Heart-shaped face. Has a wide forehead and a narrow chin. To balance the lower and upper parts, a dark tone should be applied to the ridges and corners of the forehead, the upper part of the cheekbones and chin.
- Trapezoidal face. Against the background of a heavy lower jaw, there is a narrowed upper part. To visually reduce the lower part, darken the sides of the jaw obliquely from the beginning of the cheekbone.
- Rectangle. Predominance of vertical dimensions. Availability high forehead and a long chin. Proper facial makeup will help solve this problem. For step by step application(as in the photos below) with light-colored foundation, you need to pay attention to the side surfaces to visually expand the face. Dark tones The area along the hairline on the forehead should be corrected.
Step 3. Eyebrow correction
Eyebrows can optically change the shape of the face. Therefore, they also need correction. Beautiful eyebrows should have a clear outline, optimal length and width, and should not have any kinks.
The inner end of the eyebrow should not be higher than the outer one
Hairs outside the eyebrow formation should be plucked. If the length is insufficient, it is completed with a pencil or shadows. For eyebrow tinting there is special paint, eliminating the need for daily touch-up for at least 2 weeks. As for permanent makeup- imitates natural hair as much as possible.
Step 4: Eye Makeup
Eye makeup helps to visually change your image. It also begins with preparation and application of concealer. This is especially necessary for redness of the eyelids and dark circles under the eyes.
There are several eye makeup techniques that can hide visible imperfections.
- Falling eye effect
It can be removed by drawing a gentle line along the eyelash edge of the upper eyelid with any pencil except black. Blend dark shadows, pointing towards the temples.
- Bulging eyes
Such a flaw can be corrected by a clear, shaded line above the eyelashes of the upper eyelid. It is necessary to smoothly expand the eyeliner line to the outer edge. Shading it with dark shadows, cover the entire eyelid with these shadows, directing the shading towards the eyebrows. The lower eyelid should also be drawn down about a third, starting from the outer edge.
- Close eye set
Dark shadows applied on the outer corners with shading towards the temples will help solve the problem. The inner corners should be covered with light shadows, blending them along the wings of the nose.
- Wide eye set
Shadows one tone darker than the skin should be applied to the bridge of the nose. Cover the outer edges of the eyebrows with neutral shadows. Use matte light shadows on the outer corners of the eyes.
Step 5. Cheekbones and lips
Lip makeup involves applying lipstick. But before application, lips also need to be cleansed with toner and hygienic lipstick applied. When using lip foundation, the lipstick will be distributed more evenly.
- Lips are cleaned with a special scrub. Facial scrub is not suitable!
- Using foundation.
- Defining the shape with a contour pencil.
Ideally, the tone of the pencil matches the tone of the lipstick. By raising the line of the natural outline of the lips with a pencil, the fullness visually increases.
Using a lip pencil you can change their shape To make your lips thinner, the contour line should move slightly towards the center.
- Contour lines do not connect if the corners of the lips are lowered
- The line must be drawn from the middle of the upper lip, ending the contour at the corners. Draw the line of the lower lip starting from the left edge with short strokes.
- Apply the first layer of lipstick from the center to the corners. In this case, you need to cover the entire surface. Lightly blot your lips with a napkin and apply powder.
- Applying a second layer of lipstick to highlight the shape.
Applying gloss or light lipstick to the middle of the lower lip will create attractiveness by visually enlarging thin lips. Plump lips will become smaller if you draw a pencil line 2 mm below the natural contour.
Light lipstick of a warm shade visually enlarges the lips
A more rounded contour will correct the flaw of a thin upper lip. In this case, a highlight of mother-of-pearl on the upper lip will not hurt.
Age makeup involves raising the highest point of the cheekbone for a lifting effect. This is achieved by applying a reflective emulsion, which visually creates skin firmness and volume.
The look for a lady over 40 differs from the options for younger women Note! The room for applying makeup should have light walls and good natural light. This will ensure the most even distribution of the product on the face.
Step 6. Thermal water or makeup fixative
There is often a need to maintain makeup for a long time. In this case, makeup fixatives come to the rescue, giving durability, preventing smudging in the heat, and smearing from touch. Such fasteners are the final touch in creating a unique image.
The fixative is applied over the finished makeup. The mouth and eyes must be closed. The can must be kept at a distance of 20-30 cm from the face. Spray the spray on your face and wait a little. Then blot with a dry cloth.
To apply eyeshadow wet, you can wet your brush with this spray.
Many people use a fixative as a primer before applying makeup, since such a layer of hydration is a good base.
Let's highlight the main ones.
- Foundation on dry skin in winter should be used after applying fat cream. Using moisturizing foundations in winter will aggravate the problem and cause flaking.
- For light makeup, a thick foundation can be diluted with liquid day cream or moistened with water on a sponge. The tone will be more uniform, and the face will become more fresh and natural.
- The foundation must be distributed from the center of the face to the sides. Otherwise, large pores and wrinkles will be more noticeable because they will absorb more product.
- Do not apply the cream to your face in large portions or use a large volume at once. This will make it more difficult to achieve uniform distribution, and the tone on the face will not be even.
It is important to know! To avoid streaks and lumps, foundation must be applied to dry, clean skin. The skin can be pre-treated with a lotion or tonic appropriate to your skin type.
Bronzers
Bronze tonal shades in bronzer creams are used in the case of corrective facial makeup. Exist step by step photos online with instructions on how to apply them correctly.
Bronzers are necessary for pale skin tones to imitate a tan and give the skin a glowing effect. But it is not advisable to use them in winter, as the skin may acquire a yellow tint.
Sometimes bronzers include glitter, which provides a unique, radiant look, but such products are inappropriate for daytime or at work. They are designed to create a festive, evening look.
Blush
When applying blush, remember that there should not be a lot of it.. Excess gives the face an unnatural and sloppy appearance.
For harmonious makeup blush must be combined with the tone of lipstick. They should be approximately the same color. In order to accentuate any area, apply light blush. To hide some defects, use blush in darker tones.
Highlighter
Highlighter is a relatively new but popular product in cosmetology. By highlighting some areas, thanks to the content of reflective particles, it successfully corrects the relief of the face, hiding small wrinkles.
Expert advice:
- golden highlighter will highlight tanned skin;
- peach tone is good for yellowish complexions;
- lilac and pinkish pigments are suitable fair skin with redness;
- Silver tones are indispensable for pale skin.
Pomade
Lipstick plays an important role in creating a certain look.
It is carefully selected depending on the color of the hair and eyes:
- Bright lipstick is recommended for dark hair.
- Brown-eyed girls often choose coffee or bright red colors.
- Light eyes require a cherry or beige shade.
For proper facial makeup before applying lipstick (see. step by step photo) recommended:
- cleanse the skin with a special scrub;
- apply balm;
- use foundation;
- powder your lips;
- draw an outline with a pencil;
- apply lipstick;
- get slightly wet soft cloth, apply a second coat.
Makeup plays a huge role in creating appearance. But we must not forget that it should not be vulgar. When creating a style, it is better to focus on compliance with status and age. It should be remembered that beauty largely depends on accuracy and inner peace.

Today, every girl has access to a sea of information on how to become beautiful with the help of cosmetics. The best makeup artists in the world have been openly talking about their secrets for a long time.
Basic rules for good makeup
When starting to apply makeup, remember that the most important thing in any makeup:
- ideal face tone;
- neat well-groomed eyebrows.
What do we mean when we say " perfect tone"? The color of the foundation should match the complexion, and the use of a colored corrective concealer in the presence of problem areas (bruises, pimples, scars, dark circles under the eyes) definitely.
Just a couple of years ago we didn’t pay so much attention eyebrows. Today, a large number of products specifically for them have appeared in the decorative cosmetics store. What happened? The thing is that makeup artists have realized how important beautiful eyebrows are in makeup in general. Sloppy eyebrows can ruin even the most perfect makeup. Too thin plucked or, on the contrary, very thick massive ones - this is what you should avoid. The ideal option is a natural form.
And finally, I would like to say that it is very important do not overload your face with cosmetics. Today, ladies are more and more often guilty of this, so professionals say that it is better to “under” than “over”.
Analyzing the features of your face
Applying foundation
We apply foundation or BB cream that matches the color perfectly. Choose those toning products that have a light yellow pigment. They are ideal for European women. Apply with a slightly damp beauty blender or a special synthetic bristle brush. 
Setting tone with powder
We use loose powder in makeup in order to fix the tone. It is preferable to fix only the T-zone, which quickly becomes shiny due to the secretion of sebum.
You can use transparent or white transparency. The main thing to remember is that powder is an auxiliary product that mattifies and sets the foundation. It is applied with a large fluffy brush in small quantities. During the day, you can lightly powder the T-zone with compact powder or blot with mattifying wipes.
Facial correction with dry correctors
We shape the face, because after creating the ideal tone, it turns into a blank page without natural shadows and highlights.
- Blackout: Using a soft natural bristle brush, pick up a little dry corrector Brown(Mac “Harmony” is ideal), we drive it on the hand and with light movements we draw it under the cheekbone (starting from the middle of the cheek we go “no” towards the cheekbones), along the hairline, the sides of the nose, under the chin, slightly under the lip.
- Highlighting. Use a highlighter to highlight the bridge of the nose, tick above upper lip, chin, protruding part of the cheekbone, under the eyebrow, inner corner of the eye, middle of the forehead.
Blend everything thoroughly!

Comb with a special brush, directing the hairs upward. Using a pale pink or white pencil, draw a line under the eyebrows and shade it slightly. For correction, use an angled hard brush and matte shadows or a special hard eyebrow pencil.
If desired, you can fix it with a special transparent or brown gel (today there is a huge selection in stores for both blondes and brunettes).
Step-by-step eye makeup
At this stage, you can adjust the shape of the eyes, but we will consider the average light daytime makeup.
Stage 1 of eye makeup. Apply a base under the shadows (the primer makes the shadows more durable, helps them adhere better and shades well).
Stage 2 eye makeup. Apply dark matte shadows to the outer corner of the eye and the crease of the upper eyelid, and light ones to the inner corner. Shade the border. You can add a little brown matte shadow to the outer corner of the lower eyelid along the lash line, reaching the middle of the eye (shade).
Stage 3 of makeup. Highlight your eyes with black pencil or eyeliner. You can simply walk along the lash line or make a soft arrow on the upper eyelid and shade it going beyond the edges of the eye and lifting it up (this will make the eye much larger).
4 Eye makeup stage (optional). Paint over the mucous membranes of the eyes with a light pink or beige pencil.
Stage 5 eye makeup. Apply makeup to your eyelashes, curling them slightly and focusing on the roots at the base (many people like to paint only the ends of their eyelashes, but over time they droop from the weight and we don’t get big eyes, but absolutely the opposite effect).
Applying blush
Take pink (peach or coral can be) blush and apply it to the apples of the cheeks, which form when we smile. Lightly blend towards the temples. Lightly brush along the tip of the nose and around the perimeter of the face to create color harmony in your makeup!
Lip makeup
We moisturize the lips with balm and stain with your favorite lipstick. If you want to create a more lasting effect, fill your lips completely with a pencil, the same shade as the lipstick, and only then apply lipstick.
Fixing makeup
Sprinkle thermal water or makeup fixative(not a mandatory step, but desirable for evening makeup).
How to choose the right cosmetics
The choice of cosmetics is one of the most important issues, since good cosmetics It’s inexpensive, and cheap ones don’t always please with their quality.
foundation should suit your skin type and meet your needs:
- light texture and color;
- rich color and high covering power;
- durability;
- additional hydration or mattifying ability.
How to choose the right foundation color? When choosing a shade, do not main mistake, which absolutely everyone does - test the product on the wrist. The shade of the hands and face is very different. Apply a small amount of product to the area under your eyes and blend across your cheek. When you go outside, look at yourself in daylight. Stores often make the mistake of turning on yellow lamps, which neutralize redness. This is why when we come home, we are often disappointed with our purchase.
It is best to apply the product to your face and live with it all day. Good store will not deny you the opportunity to test the foundation correctly. You must understand whether you are comfortable or not and whether this product can withstand your rhythm of life.
U lipstick the main thing is color and texture. Apply a little lipstick to your hand and decide if the texture is pleasant to you. Next, apply it to your lips and take a closer look at the color. Do not test the color on your hand as this will also distort the color. You can apply a little on the inside of your fingers as it is almost the same color as your lips.
The only universal lipstick color that will suit absolutely everyone is a cool-toned red (if you rub it on your hand, it should fade to pink).
It is advisable to buy loose powder, and use pressed powder only to throw in your handbags and touch up throughout the day. The crumbly one lays down in a thin light layer, while the pressed one tends to layer.
Blush It’s better to choose cream ones, so they look as natural as possible. The color can be cold or warm pink, peach.
Mascara choosing is not that difficult. Just decide what you need: make your eyelashes longer or thicker.
Concealer should be a little denser than the tone and one tone lighter, but no more.
Eyebrow pencil or shadow must be brown or gray-brown without “red.” It is best to choose a shade that is a shade lighter than your eyebrows.
Eyeliner We choose according to the principle of shading. Draw a small line on your hand, wait a little and rub it. If the line is practically not smeared, we take it.
What can you save on?
We all know that the more expensive cosmetics, the better quality. But there are ways you can save money.

What should you not save on?
foundation It must be expensive and good, since we apply it to our face and live with it all day long. But the most important thing is that the quality of makeup depends only on it. You can have an expensive foundation, but all other products are very cheap and no one will notice. A cheap foundation will be stained, will be too “red” or even look like a mask.
Pomade natural Pink colour- this is what you need for every day. It will last you a long time, so don’t waste your money.
Shadows cheap ones can become stained and simply blend out poorly. Buy just one palette of natural shades and it will last you a very long time.
