Fashion makeup is one of the components of the entire fashion industry. Here, makeup artists do not adhere to any patterns and are completely liberated. Fashion makeup is, first of all, art, and its main goal is to show people a certain idea, image. Just remember the blue lipsticks, huge arrows, purple eyelashes and bright green shadows. All of this throws us into shock, but only with the help of fashion makeup can you promote your brand.
Today we will look at how to make such a make up ourselves. In the article you will find multimedia materials that reflect the characteristic features for such an unusual type of creativity.
History of fashion makeup
For quite a long time, fashion makeup was limited only to typical smoky eyes, as makeup artists tried not to distract the audience with flashy make-ups from the perception of the advertised model.
But Italian fashion designer John Galliano proved that fashion makeup is a fantasy, creativity and inspiration of a makeup artist. Since then, such a make has become an integral part of the whole model, its spectacular emphasis.
Today, makeup artists must become futurists in order to show the image of the future in their work. Here should be present not only modern chips, but also a look at future trends, as well as the very idea of the author. It is very important that each particle of the image (make-up, clothes, shoes, hairstyle) be in harmony with each other, and the viewer can easily understand the whole idea of the creators.

Where is such makeup appropriate?
First of all, fashion makeup is appropriate for catwalks, performances of the new collection, or any theme nights. Such a make-up is created for the "big world". People who come to events of this type should not be surprised if they see huge rhinestones or purple eyelashes in front of someone's eyes. Whatever fashion style makeup is, get creative.
Features of fashion makeup
There is no definite concept of fashion make-up, since each makeup artist sees his point of view here. However, all definitions combine the following features of fashion makeup:
- Makeup of this type goes through “fire, water and copper pipes”, therefore, special attention is paid to its durability. Therefore, use only cosmetics that are able to stay on your face for a long time without unnecessary smudges and shedding.
- If you do makeup on the catwalk, then adhere to the following rule: a make-up keeps the idea and idea of the show, but it should not concentrate all the views of the audience. It is worth remembering that at the shows they represent a certain product, not cosmetics.
- If the model needs to enter the podium several times, then the makeup should be easily transformed. Thus, make-up will be suitable for each image.
- Photoshoot or show: you should have a perfectly even complexion. No bags under the eyes, shine, rash and other imperfections. Any fashion make-up will look advantageous on well-groomed face skin.
- Most emphasis should be on the lips or eyes. There are also cases where they highlight both that, and another. Most often, bright and unusual colors are used here.

Make up yourself
As a rule, these types of make-ups are used for large photography and large events. On the street, you are unlikely to meet a girl with poisonous green shadows. But no one forbids experimenting, so if you want to learn a new technique or try on an unusual image on your face, then the algorithm for making fashion makeup step by step is especially for you.
The first and most important step is to create a perfectly even complexion:
- Apply primer to cleansed skin.
- Next, use a tonal foundation that matches your skin color. For even distribution, use a damp sponge with a synthetic brush.
- Use the corrector to remove all skin imperfections.
- Apply matting powder.
Tip: before applying the base, use your cream. It will greatly soften the skin and remove peeling so that when applying the foundation they will not be visible. Below is a vivid illustration of fashion makeup.
Fashion makeup No. 1: purple
What does the fair sex need to create makeup in purple colors?
- Base under the shade. It can be either a special product, or a shade to match your skin tone. They will fix the shadows on the eyelid.
- Black pencil, eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow.
- Shades of the following colors: purple, silver, lavender, orange and sand.
- Flamingo lipstick.
- Scotch.
The algorithm of your actions:
- We apply a base on the upper part of the eyelid under the shadow or shadow of your skin tone.
- Cut off two small pieces of adhesive tape and glue them so that the tail and the middle of the eyebrows overlap. This is necessary to ensure that your makeup has even lines of shadow.
- We take a black pencil and bring the lower and upper eyelids. The line of the pencil should reach the tip of the tape (that is, to the place where the tip of the eyebrow is closed), lift it on the sticker and draw it to the nose.
- The pencil must be carefully shaded and apply black shadows on top of the drawn area.
- Cover the remaining clean part of the century with purple.
- Apply a cosmetic shade of silver to the eye corners.
- Apply on the line of black shadows - lavender so that you have a smooth transition between the two shades.
- And now the most interesting: with orange shadows we completely cover the lower eyelid, continuing the color to the temple and cheeks. Shade thoroughly.
- Between the corner of the eye and the orange shade, apply a purple color.
- Thoroughly blend the lower eyelid again. But do it in such a way that it doesn’t turn out extra “dirty” shades.
- Peel off the adhesive tape and apply sand shadows to the same place.
- Draw eyebrows and draw a small arrow.
- At the end, apply black mascara.
Done! Below is a photo of this makeup.
Fashion makeup No. 2: lime color
Makeup number 2 is a little lighter than the first. For him you will need:
- All the same base under the shade.
- Black eyeliner and mascara.
- Bright lime gel eyeliner .
- Shades of the following colors: beige, light green, and gray.
- Nude lip color.
The algorithm of your actions:
- We repeat the first paragraph of the previous section.
- We cover the gel with bright lime eyeliner eyelid, not reaching the crease.
- In the place of eyeliner, apply the light green color of the shadows. Next, cover the eye corner with the same shade.
- Under the eyebrow, apply a beige color.
- On a clean fold - gray shadows.
- Draw a neat and small arrow.
- Draw the lower eyelid in gray colors.
- Apply black mascara to the eyelashes.
And one more fashion makeup is ready! At first, it may be difficult to apply shadows with uneven arrows, but after a couple of repetitions you will already “beat your hand” and gain the skill to create this make-up.
How to evaluate catwalk makeup at competitions
As mentioned above, fashion makeup is something extremely unusual. What is usually hidden in salons is actively emphasized when creating competitive works. If in the salon you will be given an oval face shape, then in a futuristic fashion make-up, the ideal shape is a square.
Of course, the makeup itself should be complemented by a hairstyle and appropriate costume. The model here is a harmony between the three "artists". At many competitions, attention is paid directly to the model itself: how it presents its image and how it reveals the full depth of the creators' design.
Simpler Makeups
Of course, not every girl has the opportunity to purchase cosmetics screaming and other unusual colors. In this case, standard smoky eyes or make-ups with minimal use of unusual means come to the rescue.
Now you know how to do fashion makeup.
