Important tips for girls
We bring to your attention all the most basic nuances that will help create the perfect complexion, brighten and darken it in those places where it is needed.
- Remember that sculpting requires matte textures. This is especially true for the allocation of cheekbones. Everything that requires dimming is done with matt means. For those areas that need to be made lighter, they usually use various shining agents. Simply put, your highlighter should be shining.
- A regular cosmetic sponge will help achieve the perfect blending of the product. Shading with a sponge is accomplished by soft circular movements. For an amazing effect, try moistening the sponge a little with plain water or using a moisturizer: this way the coating will turn out to be more even.
- Everything in the makeup should be fixed with regular powder. Choose the best one for yourself. Having finished makeup, be sure to fix the tone and makeup on the face with powder. This will make your makeup more durable and help get rid of all the extra boundaries of contouring.
- To understand which shade of the contouring agent suits you, slightly press on the cheek with your finger. In the resulting hole you will see the color of the natural shadow of your face. About this should be a contouring cosmetic in your everyday cosmetic bag.
Before applying makeup
You should know that before any make-up you need to thoroughly prepare, clean and moisturize your skin. This will not only enhance the resistance of makeup and prepare the skin for the use of all decorative cosmetics, but also make the surface and tone more uniform.
You can wipe your face with, for example, an alcohol-free tonic. After waiting a bit, apply a moisturizer to the skin: it will help to achieve a more even coverage, relieve peeling and unpleasant dryness. Without these preliminary manipulations, your face will be covered with a layer of plaster. This looks pretty ridiculous.
Nowadays, there are many different primers for faces of very different textures and purposes. Basically, they serve as a kind of base for makeup, play the role of a barrier between skin and cosmetics, enhance the durability of makeup as a whole. Here are matting primers that relieve the face of undesirable shine throughout the day, and funds that illuminate the skin from the inside. We advise you to pay attention to the choice of base for makeup, because such tools have a number of advantages.
Also, do not forget that painting and applying makeup on your face is necessary in the right light. Your makeup may look different in daylight and in artificial lighting. Ideally, it is best to put a mirror on the windowsill and paint in such a light. So you can fully understand how your daytime makeup will look on the street.
Cheekbones cosmetics
There is an impressive amount of means by which cheekbones can be distinguished. Usually they are emphasized with the help of dark proofreaders of a very different texture: there are dry proofreaders, and cream ones, softer ones. The natural shadow in the area of the cheekbones is especially good when using a bronzer, it gives the face a small radiant tan. Girls often use blush, eye shadow and other cosmetics for this purpose.
Specialized Proofreaders
This is the most popular way to highlight cheekbones, not only among experienced makeup artists, but also among girls who do their own makeup. Correctors come in different textures and colors. To choose the color that suits you as much as possible, press on the cheek with your finger. A natural shadow will appear in the dimple: approximately the same color should be your contouring tool.
How to highlight cheekbones using such a corrector? This is actually not difficult. To begin with, it is worth learning something important: corrections are cream and dry. The first should be applied on top of the foundation, but in no case on top of the powder. With dry products you need to do differently. Their professional makeup artists are advised to apply on already powdery skin. Here in this sequence we select the cheekbones with a corrector:
- Cream corrector is applied over the foundation. This is best done with a round brush, making soft, driving movements. If you want to do a full contouring of the face, apply it to areas that require natural darkening: temporal cavities, hairline, under the cheekbones, nose wings. By the way, girls in our time like to highlight their nose with the help of makeup and various correctors to make it more pronounced.
- All the boundaries of the corrector must be carefully shaded, then examined your face from all sides and make sure that everything is done qualitatively, there are no borders anywhere.
Highlighting the cheekbones using the corrector is quite easy. It is not such an obvious type of correction, but it visibly distinguishes cheekbones and makes the face thinner and more expressive.
We use concealer for sculpting
What else to highlight cheekbones? It turns out that this can be done by concealer. Sometimes girls confuse him with a corrector. Remember that there is a huge difference between these two similar tools.
You know that concealer is mainly needed to mask various defects. But a concealer with a darker shade can also be used to highlight cheekbones. Just apply it as you would a special corrector: just below the cheekbones. And do not forget about the main point in makeup - proper and competent shading! It’s best to do it with your fingers or a sponge.
Try mixing the concealer with a moisturizer: it will look more natural after applying the product on the face.
Select the cheekbones with a concealer just below the cheekbones with a wide brush. We draw a line from the earlobe to the corners of the lips, slightly not reaching them. After applying all the decorative cosmetics to the face, do not forget to shade it thoroughly.
How to highlight cheekbones with blush
Blush is an ideal tool for those who want to make their face not only more expressive and thin, but also fresh, young. To create cheekbones, you need to take a blush of two shades: light and dark. For such purposes, the following color scheme is not bad: a not very bright red color and fresh pink. How to apply blush on the cheekbones to highlight them, but do not overdo it? Firstly, for the correction of cheekbones with blush, it is best to take a brush with beveled edges.
- To apply blush, you need to choose them a little darker than your natural skin color, so you get the most natural result.
- To understand what point you need to apply blush, and how bright, stand in front of the mirror and smile broadly. If cheekbones are clearly and clearly visible during such an action, remember that highlighting them with blush is not worth it too brightly.
- The most convex part of the cheek should be covered with pearlescent blush or highlighter.
- The light color of the blush should be applied to the "apples" of the cheeks and thoroughly blend in the direction of the temples.
- A dark shade should be applied below the cheekbones and blend in the direction to the extreme corners of the lips.
- After that, blend the border between the two colors well. Remember that almost everything in your makeup depends on shading.
- Loose blush is applied with a beveled brush.
An undoubted advantage of this method: the face looks thinner, the cheekbones are quite noticeably emphasized, the look is more fresh and young. Of course, the shadow effect is not created here, as when using darker shades of corrections. This must be considered in advance.
Bronzer to create a tanning effect
How to distinguish cheekbones to achieve not only a thin face, but also get rid of traces of fatigue on it? In this case, you will need a bronzer.
When using this cosmetic product you get a more natural and natural effect of the shadow on the cheekbones, highlight the face, make it more rested and embossed. For best results, we recommend that you use a soft brush made of natural material. We offer some tips from professional makeup artists:
- The bronzer should be one or two shades darker than the natural color of your skin so as not to get a mask effect on your face.
- The bronzer is applied from the area under the cheekbones, closer to the earlobes, and gradually moves to the corners of the mouth. Do not bring the bronzer directly to them, stop a short distance from the lips.
- Shade thoroughly, making sure that no clear boundaries remain on the face.
- Bronzer is also applied to parts of the face that are most quickly exposed to ultraviolet rays. Where natural tanning should occur, add a little of this remedy. Usually this is the forehead along the hairline, whiskey and nose, which can also be slightly corrected with makeup.
- If you use a bronzer with a creamy texture, you can safely apply it with your fingertips. Make tapping movements, soft and driving.
