Secrets of Transfiguration
The wonders of makeup are an endless theme. Indeed, even a completely “colorless” person with the help of decorative cosmetics can be so transformed that his close friends can hardly recognize him. And what can I say, if the face is noticeable, and the eyes are beautiful, and the features are correct! The task of modern makeup artists-stylists is not only to mask the flaws in appearance, but (first of all) to emphasize the merits. And all the wonders of makeup should be aimed at ensuring that a woman can give herself in a favorable light: skin tone, lips juiciness, silk density of eyelashes, etc. That is, simply being able to model your appearance according to the highest standards and parameters of beauty and harmony. How to do this in practice - we follow the advice of the Masters! Today, the object of our study will be the lips that the poets of the East compared with juicy ripe halves of pomegranate, bright cherries and delicate pink petals, and eyes, these wonderful mirrors of the soul.
Kissing lips
In the face, in the first place, two details attract attention - the eyes and the mouth. Let's find out what wonders of makeup, the methods of makeup artists-practitioners can help you adjust the shape of your mouth so that your lips look seductive and attractive. For example, if they are thin, visually you need to add volume to them. To do this, draw a pencil around their outline a few millimeters above the natural lines. To give a natural outline to round. Give the volume a stroke with a pinkish or pale red hue, take a lipstick peach, apricot, with mother of pearl. Suitable and transparent shine. Dark tones do not fit!
Special effects for thin lips
Mouth large and thin-lipped requires a different correction. And here the wonders of professional make-up come down to such actions: a medium-sized pencil draws around the rounded contours, then use eyeliner, but don’t touch the corners. Now the lipstick: it’s light, it should be painted evenly with her lips, and put a gloss on the middle, but do not shade it.
From sadness to a smile
Makeup works wonders if the corners of a woman’s lips are lowered and there is a constant grimace of grief and resentment on her face. Using the techniques described above, it is possible to carry out the correction in this way: the outlines of rose petals are given to the mouth, the lipstick is selected in pale pink or peach tones. The main thing - do not forget about the shine with mother of pearl.
If the mouth is small
With a small mouth, the task of the makeup artist is to visually increase it. First, the contours of the lips need to be smoothed with a brownish corrector, then in the area of the corners the line is slightly extended, lifting up (the mysterious half-smile of the Mona Lisa). Double color with
beige or pink
lipstick . For the final touch, use glitter with mother of pearl.
So that your mouth doesn't seem big
And finally, if the lips are of normal fullness, but the mouth is long, which makes the face look vulgar, such effective techniques will help to save the situation. Outlining your lips along the contour, do not reach a couple of millimeters to the corners themselves. Take a neutral lipstick. When you make up your lips, pat them dry with a napkin. Shine is not needed here.
The light of beautiful eyes
And now about how you can apply the wonders of makeup art, tinting your eyes. Beauticians distinguish round, almond-shaped, mongoloid and slit-shaped sections. The eyes of the second type are considered ideal. The rest can be corrected using decorative cosmetics and special makeup techniques.
- In order to give round eyes a slightly elongated shape, you need to draw a neat line along the upper eyelid with a light or neutral gray color just above the growth of eyelashes. Stretch it outside the outer corner for another couple of millimeters, slightly lifting to the temples. Circle the lower eyelid along the ciliary contour, but beyond the natural borders of the incision. Both lines should be thin.
- With a slit-like incision, because of the high cheekbones, the eyes seem narrow, and your task when applying makeup is to visually make them more open, wide. To do this, draw a arrow on the upper eyelid with a dark pencil with a rounded stylus, slightly thickening in the center. Color the eyelashes well above and below. But do not apply shadows.
- To correct the Mongoloid section, you need beige tones, light brown, gray can be. Just draw thin lines over the eyelashes, without thickening. Connect the arrows in the outer corners. Combine with mascara. You will see how the wonders of eye makeup wonderfully transform your face after such simple manipulations. Here it is, real magic!
- The amygdala incision is classic, the most beautiful, you do not need to adjust it, you can only emphasize. Arrows are made along the line of eyelash growth. To do decorative makeup, use seasonal colors.
Adjust the size
Not only the shape, but also the size of the eyes can be corrected, knowing some of the secrets of makeup, mastering its wonderful techniques. If they are small, beige or pale gray arrows will help to visually increase. And with silver shadows, shape the outer corners. The main shadows take light shades, opaque, translucent. If the eyes are too large, they should be visually reduced. To do this, draw a fairly wide line along the upper eyelid, blend with a brush, and paint over the top with blue, gray, brownish, peach and beige shadows.
