Makeup

Cosmetics are something that the fair sex has been using since the time of Cleopatra and even earlier. In today's world, cosmetics is a mandatory attribute of any self-respecting lady. And a woman without makeup is, at least, a sign of indifference to her own appearance (and disrespect for others too), which indicates some kind of internal contradictions. In a word, if a woman loves herself, then she strives to look good, because to please other people is a natural desire.

On the other hand, everyone is pleased to communicate with a well-groomed interlocutor. And it is cosmetics that help to make the image more expressive. Agree that even if you have done a chic hairstyle that fits your face perfectly and blends harmoniously with the chosen image, you still have a feeling of incompleteness without makeup.

Makeup preparation

When doing makeup in the morning, try not to do it immediately after applying the day cream, but after it is absorbed (that is, you need to wait ten to fifteen minutes). Otherwise, the foundation will get into the pores in the place with the cream, especially for oily skin, which can lead to local inflammation. For dry skin, foundation is more suitable, for oily skin - compact powder. Always stick to the norm: an overabundance of tonal foundation will very quickly become untidy. And also consider the color of the foundation - it should be a little lighter than the natural skin tone, because, like powder, during the day it mixes with the fat secreted by the skin and the face darkens.

Eye makeup

When performing eye makeup, it is necessary to take into account the color, shape and location of the eyes. For close-set eyes, it is recommended to apply light shadows to the inner corner and middle of the eyelid, and to extend the contour of the eye along the outer corner with a pencil or dark shadows. Mascara should be applied more to the eyelashes at the outer edge. You also need to lengthen the eyebrow line to visually increase the distance between the eyes.

With far-set eyes, it is better to follow the opposite tactics. Outline the eye contour from the inner to the outer corner, without protruding beyond the borders. Apply dark shadows in the opposite areas to the first case, but it is advisable to make the eyebrows closer with a pencil.

Recommendations

For small eyes, it is recommended to make a more intense eyeliner along the upper contour, but taking into account its narrowing to the outer corner of the eye. Tinted and slightly curved eyelashes will help to open the eyes, as it were.

For everyday makeup, give preference to dry shadows, as they hold better: they do not roll longer. Liquid shadows are best used for evening makeup.

Makeup colors depending on your type. For blue-eyed blondes, it is better to opt for gray and blue shades of shadows, and gray is preferable for an eyebrow pencil. If the eye color is brown or green (with a light or red shade of hair), it is logical to choose shadows for your own eye color, and brown pencil and mascara are better. Burning brunettes with fair skin will suit shades of light cold tones, a black eyebrow pencil and bright lipstick (for example, a plum shade). And for dark-skinned women, it is better to choose shadows according to the color of the eyes. Everything else is similar to the first option.

Blush. Since ancient times, women blushed their faces to give youthfulness and seductiveness. Although young girls should not abuse blush, because they have a natural fresh complexion. It is not recommended to get involved in this means of "rejuvenation" and ladies with fading wrinkled skin.

In general, blush not only rejuvenates the face, but also corrects its shape. So to visually lengthen the oval of the face, blush should be applied closer to the hair. Sometimes a fresh shade of the face can be given by applying blush around the perimeter, but only with a slightly noticeable shade (while using the chin and forehead). In general, apply blush to the part of your cheeks that you blush naturally. When choosing a color, focus on the natural skin tone. Light tones are more suitable for cold tones, and skin with a yellowish tint is warm peach.
