The main thing to look for when applying Greek makeup is to create expressive eyes, thick and dark eyebrows, and perfect skin. This type of makeup assumes the presence of black arrows, the length of which will depend on what time of day and where you need to make a make-up. We will tell and teach the secrets of this type of makeup, and if you adhere to them, you will be able to create beautiful makeup on your own, no worse than experts do.
How to do Greek makeup at home?
- Straightening the face. As you know, in all types of make-up, Greek makeup is no exception, it is necessary to perfectly align the face. Before applying cosmetics, you need to wipe your face with milk using a cotton pad, this will cleanse it of dirt and oily sheen. Then moisturize it with some kind of nourishing or moisturizing cream. Only when the cream is already absorbed, you can safely proceed to the beginning of the Greek make-up. The very first, this is a foundation, the application of which will help to perfectly smooth the skin, hide all its imperfections: dark spots under the eyes, vascular network, pimples or even acne spots. When the foundation is dry, you can proceed to the next step, namely a camouflage pencil, concealer and loose powder. It is with the help of a corrector or a pencil that you can finally sketch out skin imperfections, and with the help of powder, just perfect the tone of the face.
- Brows. First of all, their edging should have clear lines, well traced, but only with dash-like movements. Then, to create the perfect shape and color of the eyebrows, you need to gently blend the strokes using a cotton pad or just a piece of cotton wool, and fix the result with a cosmetic transparent gel designed specifically for eyebrows. To achieve good results, you should have an eyebrow pencil that is 1-2 shades darker than your own color. After all, eyebrows are where you can't overdo it with color. In Greek make-up, they should be expressive, jet black and eye-catching.
- Cheekbones a very important part of the face in creating Greek makeup. With the help of blush (brown or golden shades) or bronzers, you can achieve the desired result. It is necessary with the help of a wide and large brush to draw a straight line from the very beginning of the cheekbones to the temple, then, it is necessary to thoroughly shade this line, so that the boundaries between the natural skin tone and the cosmetic product completely disappear. The main thing here is to visually create the impression of a natural skin tone, and not just makeup applied to it. Also, a rather important point is that it is necessary not to overdo it with a saturated shade, this can create the effect of sunken cheeks.
- Eyes - flawless, dramatic and mysterious. In creating the look of the mythological goddess, only two eyeshadow colors need to be used: brown with a matte shade and pearlescent golden. The procedure for applying shadows is as follows: pearlescent golden shadows are applied to the mobile eyelid and under the lash line, emphasizing the lower eyelid. And brown shadows cover the rest of the eyes under the very eyebrows, but you also need to remember to achieve a smooth transition from one shade to another, so that the image has naturalness and sophistication. Having finished with the shadows, we take in our hands a coal-black eyeliner. With the help of eyeliner, it is necessary to draw clear lines that will gradually thicken from the inner corner of the eyes to the outer corner. An important point is that the arrows should go beyond the boundaries of the century by a few millimeters, rising a little and rushing up. The final step will be lengthening and adding volume to the carcasses. It is applied in several layers, but not less than two, each of which must be applied only after the previous one has dried.
- Lips - sensual and sexy at the same time. It's not news to anyone that there is one fairly important rule in creating makeup - never highlight the eyes and lips at the same time, and only in creating a Greek make-up is this allowed. Also, in Greek makeup, it is allowed to use lipsticks, ranging from caramel-golden shades to bright red colors. Calmer lipstick tones will add mystery, tenderness and sophistication to the image, and more daring - sophistication, sexuality and sensuality. The only thing that needs to be taken into account and taken into account is that gloss will not be appropriate in this image, its presence on the lips can only spoil the image. Before you put on lipstick, apply a powder or foundation on your lips, this will allow the lipstick to stay on the lips longer and attract admiring glances to the whole image.
That's all, our image of the "Greek goddess" is complete. All that remains is to do the appropriate hairstyle, put on a chic evening dress, put on high-heeled shoes, straighten your shoulders, and, smiling, catch the admiring glances of men on yourself.
