To create the image of a mysterious oriental beauty, the main thing is not to overdo it and try to strictly adhere to the following recommendations.
Oriental arabic makeup
This type of oriental makeup has the most complex creation technique, and it will take a lot of practice to get it. There are several secrets:
- It is necessary to adhere to the following scheme - the tonal base, the use of a corrector, the application of powder. For dark skin, a natural tone should be used, and for fair-skinned girls, a tone darker than the native shade is recommended.
- It is allowed to take only dim shades of blush. A bronze tone would be an excellent choice.
- The main feature of the Arabian make-up is the correct shape of the eyebrows. They should be black, clear, fairly thick, but not too wide, and have a nice, slightly curved shape. If necessary, they can be corrected with a special pencil.
- In Arabic makeup, the emphasis should be on the eyes. Here you need to be patient and be very careful, because the work will be almost jewelry.
- It is recommended to take not too bright lipstick in natural shades. To highlight the beautiful shape of the lips, it is recommended to use a contour pencil, with which you can give your lips a little puffiness.
Arabic eye makeup step by step
For Arabic eye makeup, you need to use shades of rich shades - gray, black, white, beige, brown, etc. For more expressiveness, it is worth taking a small amount of sparkles of bronze, silver and golden shades.
Be sure to use eyeliner or a soft black pencil, false eyelashes or black mascara. Eye makeup is performed according to the following scheme:
- The shades of beige will be the base, applied to the entire space of the upper eyelid, right down to the eyebrows.
- The arrows are drawn with eyeliner or a well-sharpened pencil. The lines should start at the inner corners to create a beautiful almond shape. To visually enlarge the eyes, you need to make wider arrows.
- With a small brush, black shadows are applied along the entire contour of the arrow and gently shaded. Movements should be directed up to the temple.
- Shadows of a light gray shade are applied and carefully shaded so that the transition lines are not noticeable. With this technique, the shape of the eyes is visually extended and slightly expanded.
- Now you can apply a few more tones of the selected shadow color palette, which is determined based on the color of the eyes.
- Also, the lower eyelid is emphasized with colored shadows, then sparkles are applied to the entire surface of the eyelid.
- At the end, the cilia are stained, you can use false ones. But volumizing mascara is also great. Only one layer of mascara is applied to the lower eyelashes, and 2-3 to the upper. A new layer is applied after the previous one is completely dry.
For Arabian makeup, you need to choose special shadows that have a rich color and dense texture. The choice of color palette of shadows directly depends on the shade of the eyes.
Indian style makeup
Indian women have beautiful dark skin and dark hair, and to create oriental makeup in this style, you need to use juicy, bright shades. To get a beautiful Indian make-up, you must first prepare the skin - the correct tone is applied to the face.
Girls with dark skin should opt for beige shades that are as close as possible to the natural color scheme. So the skin becomes velvety, matte, ugly shine is removed. A more difficult task is facing fair-skinned girls who will find it difficult to transform into an Indian beauty. First, you will need to visit a solarium or use a self-tanner.
A feature of Indian make-up is the eyebrows of the correct and clear shape. To highlight them, you need to use a black pencil, but you can also take a dark brown one. Various light shades are categorically not suitable. If you want to create the image of a real Indian girl for a theme party, then you need to put a "bindi" (a small red dot) in the middle of the forehead.
An obligatory item of Indian makeup is to highlight the eyes with black eyeliner, taking into account the type of face, the thickness of the lines will be determined. The ends of the arrows should be brought out of the eyelids in the direction of the temples. Indian makeup has one interesting feature - the division of the eyelid in the horizontal direction into 2 zones. The line located in the lower area will be highlighted with bright colors of the shadows, and the one located at the top will be indicated by light ones (white ones with the addition of mother-of-pearl can also be used).
It is recommended to highlight the lower eyelids with shades of brown, black, dark blue, purple. The most important thing is that the chosen eyeshadow palette is in harmony with the color of the eyes.
Oriental makeup in Indian style has another characteristic feature - heavily painted eyelashes. Not all girls became happy owners of thick eyelashes, so you can use false eyelashes, the main thing is that they are neatly glued and do not differ from natural ones.
As a rule, in most types of makeup there is only one accent. In Indian, there are two of them - not only the eyes, but also the lips stand out. To emphasize the beautiful shape of the lips, you need to use only matte lipstick. You can choose coral and red lipsticks, and to visually make them plump, a layer of transparent gloss is applied on top.
In Indian makeup, it is not recommended to resort to the use of blush, as the created image may seem too heavy and tasteless. But if there is a need to highlight a beautiful line of cheekbones, you should stop the choice on brown blush.
Japanese style makeup
It is Japanese makeup that is considered the most restrained, so it is recommended to choose it for girls with a calm character. The play on contrast looks very interesting - perfect porcelain skin and black hair. When choosing this type of oriental makeup, it is worth remembering that too bright, saturated shades should not be used during its creation. Girls who wear bangs need to make sure that they are perfectly straight.
In Japan, the main feature of the aristocracy is considered to be beautiful snow-white skin, which speaks of the sophistication of its owner. That is why you first need to even out your skin tone. For this purpose, you can use powder or foundation of the lightest possible shades, but at the same time, painful pallor of the face should be avoided. Particular attention must be paid to the eyebrows - they must be of the ideal shape, thin, clearly traced in black pencil. A very interesting fact is that real Japanese geisha completely pluck their eyebrows, after which they are redrawn, while they are applied slightly above the level of natural eyebrows.
It is necessary to emphasize the beauty of the shape of the eyes with the help of arrows. To highlight the lower eyelid, Japanese women use a gray pencil. But you can also use shadows, however, preference should be given to light, delicate shades. Bright saturated colors are strictly prohibited. Pastel or white colors are ideal. But to create the perfect Japanese make-up, you don't have to use eyeshadow, you can completely skip them.
At the end, the lips and cheeks stand out. The cheekbones are accentuated with blush in a delicate pink shade. And it is recommended to paint over the lips with light, pink shades, but bright colors of lipstick are also suitable.
By adhering to the above tips, you can create a beautiful and stylish oriental-style makeup yourself, and not resort to the expensive services of experienced makeup artists.
