Make-up is modeling and adjusting the shape of the face with decorative cosmetics in order to highlight attractive features and hide imperfections. The art of beautiful makeup is the ability to use cosmetics. First you need to determine the shape of the face: round or oval, triangular or quadrangular.
Makeup types
Makeup is subdivided into several types, each of which is determined "on the occasion." Distinctive features: the saturation of the shadows, smooth transition and shading, the use of the contour, the density of the eyelashes, the use of blush. The process should begin with preparing the face for applying the base and makeup. To do this, it is enough to cleanse the skin with a makeup remover.
Natural makeup
Natural makeup is daytime makeup. It is necessary to avoid sharp contrasts of shadows, using mainly natural shades: bronze, cream, coffee, gray. If there is eyeliner in the makeup, then the contour line should be of moderate thickness, neat, with a thin tip.
How to properly apply natural makeup:
- Prepare your face and apply foundation.
- Remove blue circles under the eyes with concealer.
- Set the tone with powder or foundation. Remember, the color must match the skin.
- Apply eye shadow to the eyelids or outline the contour with eyeliner (pencil). If you prefer to use shadows in multiple colors, avoid stark contrast. Blend the eyeshadow gently without trying to define the lines - this is already beyond the norm of daytime makeup.
- Use mascara.
- Accentuate the brow line with matte eyeshadow in the appropriate shade, if necessary.
In natural make-up, it is not necessary to use shadows, it is enough to even out the tone of the face and highlight the eyes by making up the eyelashes.
evening make-up
Evening make-up at home can be done just as well as by a make-up artist. It is necessary to accentuate the eyes as much as possible. You will definitely need:
- a small palette of eyeshadows from pearl-white to brown-black or gray;
- black pencil, eyeliner;
- concealer;
- foundation and powder;
- blush;
- eyebrow shadow or pencil;
- lipstick or gloss.
- mascara (you can additionally use false eyelashes or stick on bundles).
How to do evening make-up correctly:
- Prepare your skin and apply concealer under your eyes.
- Hide minor blemishes (pimples and redness) with a face corrector.
- Use foundation, then powder.
- On the oval of the face, near the hairline, brush using a darker tone of powder.
- The corners of the wings of the nose and eyes should be "painted" with the main powder interspersed with milky shadows.
- Apply the blush to the widest part of the cheekbones and stretch in the desired direction, forming the correct face shape.
- Define your eyelids using dark and light shades of eyeshadow. This can be a technique of applying shadows in the style of smokey ice, banana, fan, sophisticate.
If you have narrow eyes, try using the banana technique:
- First, apply a makeup base, lift an eyebrow with lighter shadows and outline the outline.
- Build on the eyelid a kind of frame of dark shadows, starting from the top of the eyelid.
- Blend thoroughly with a brush. Then draw a crease between the upper space and the movable eyelid according to the shape of the eyes.
- Connect the top and bottom lines, and fill the space with lighter shadows.
A universal technique for evening make-up is the smoky eyes style, which is a smoky veil with a drag. Make-up saturation should be determined by skin color. Since the emphasis is on the eyes, avoid lipstick or lip gloss in eye-catching shades and opt for a neutral color.
After preparing your face for applying makeup, draw in the lash area with a black pencil and blend the line. Draw shadows on a thick brush and outline the upper eyelid. Use patting movements to "drive in" the shadows, carefully filling the entire space. Make the shading, and bring the lower eyelid with shadows. Draw the mucous part with a pencil. Color your eyelashes to maximum volume.
Bright makeup
Spring and summer are traditionally involved in iridescent carelessness. It's time to experiment and do bright makeup every day. A few basic rules from professional makeup artists will help you create a unique look:
- Avoid heavy powder and foundation. As a base, a translucent tone is perfect, which will absolutely naturally fall on the skin. Bright shades of shadows will look stylish if the naturalness of the skin and the illusion of the absence of other makeup prevail. Throw away the rules of color combinations and be guided by mood.
- Draw out the eye contour with colored arrows or thick pencil drawing. Do not be afraid of an uneven line - it can be shaded or corrected with a cotton swab.
- For brown eyes, use saturated colors: blue, purple, green. For blue and gray eyes, it is better to avoid nondescript shades (dusty, mint). It is recommended to apply the most saturated shade along the upper and lower eyelashes, and shade the lighter one with a fluffy brush from the inner corner to the outer one. Apply eyeshadow with a damp brush or applicator for color saturation.
Eye makeup
Eye makeup should be given special attention. The end result determines the choice of technique. For example, using shadows, you can correct and model the shape of the eyes, make them "glow". The most important thing is to modify the position of the eyes.
How to paint your eyes correctly
You need to start by lightening the area under the eyebrows. This will optically raise the eye. Apply white or other lightest shadows under the eyebrow and blend down slightly. This method is not suitable for women who have excess skin on their eyelids.
If you have narrow, small or deep-set eyes, brighten the area above the pupil. This will give the look a special charm. To do this, over the usual eyeshadow, in the center, apply glitter. However, this technique should not resemble a stain - the shine must be carefully shaded.
If you have wide-set eyes, you can visually bring them closer together. Apply the eyebrow shadow with the applicator, making small vertical movements towards the inner corner of the eye. For this, it is better to use not a light shade of shadows, but a darker one.
How beautiful to apply eye shadow
It is necessary to use a base, since eye makeup can be done beautifully only on a prepared eyelid. It is better to take a light tone as the main color. With a brush with a beveled edge, draw a contour, that is, set the shape of the distribution of shadows.
Use a fluffy brush to draw in the shadows and carefully fill in the eyelid from the inner corner of the eyes. Stretch slightly and type in a second color - darker. Blend smoothly, lowering the saturation towards the center.
You can also apply a uniform tone over the entire eyelid area, and draw up the upper movable fold with a contrasting arrow. However, such makeup is considered evening or festive and is not relevant for everyday life.
How to learn to paint eyes with shadow
It is enough to purchase a palette of classic shades and special brushes. You will need tools for smooth shading of shadows, contouring, eyebrow shaping, creating corners. In the arsenal of the cosmetic bag, you must definitely keep a black classic pencil.
For long-lasting makeup, be sure to use a foundation under the eyeshadow. It is not recommended to use pearlescent shadows for color transition. It is more convenient to do evening and bright makeup with a sponge, and day makeup with a brush.
At the beginning, decorate the eyelid area with matte shadows. Draw an arrow or shape the corner with a beveled brush. Fill the lid space with a color that matches your eye color.
How to beautifully apply eyeliner
Eyeliner is used to form the eyes at the final stage of makeup, before applying mascara. One awkward movement of a trembling hand can throw the whole process down. It is important to draw a straight, clear line. To do this, pull the outer corner of the eye with your hand and slowly draw a line from the center of the eyelid. This zone has the greatest density of eyelashes, and if necessary, the line can be continued or imperceptibly reduced to nothing. This is useful if you have an eyeliner brush with a soft, fuzzy edge.

It is recommended to apply a beige eye shadow on top of the base, which can be supplemented exclusively with contour and mascara.

High-quality makeup depends on the sequence of actions and careful practice of each step. It is also important that the makeup style matches the individual facial features: oval, forehead, location and depth of the eyes, eyelid width, cheekbones, chin shape, fullness of lips. Wide-set eyes need to be visually brought closer together, a wide forehead should be narrowed, cheekbones should be emphasized, lips should be given fullness, an eyebrow line should be drawn, the correct face oval should be shaded using a dark tone of powder.
