Makeup is an art, and mastering it is not so easy as it seems. Nowadays, natural beauty is in fashion, as they say - makeup-nomakeup. But sometimes it happens that creating a natural image, we are mistaken somewhere. The result is a blatantly vulgar makeup that causes either ridicule or bewilderment. How to avoid such a phenomenon on your face? Are there any “rules” by which vulgar makeup is done? Yes, they are, and we will dwell on them now.
Short introduction
On the streets of our hometowns, we very often meet women who wear vulgar makeup. Photos in magazines even sometimes show us such "hits", and looking at them, some believe that it is fashionable and beautiful. Just note: what is printed in the fashion magazine is a carnival. Such a make-up is created to maintain a particular image or to demonstrate a specific hairstyle. In real life, such "colors" are extremely inappropriate, so you should forget about them. But if this truth is simple and understandable to everyone, why do we still see how women, not sparing themselves, leave the house with an unaesthetically designed face and believe that everything is in order with them? The fact is that even trying to create a new, neutral make-up, sometimes you can make mistakes. Mismatch of shade, improperly selected eyebrow shape, excess mascara - these and many other details noticeably spoil the image. We will describe in detail below how to avoid such errors below, but for now we will consider another, much more deplorable case ...
Makeup from the past
To understand what vulgar makeup looks like, just remember the fashion of the 80s and 90s. No, not the one that was printed on the gloss of Vogue and Elle, but the one that was distributed in the post-Soviet space. Blue shadows, red lipsticks, black lip liners, pink blush, blue brasmatics, liquid shadows with sparkles - all this could be combined in one make-up. Most women sacredly believed: the brighter, the more fashionable. And the ladies did not spare money for the purchase of low-quality, but very bright cosmetics. It turned out pretty vulgar makeup, which was appropriate not only in the evening, but also in the afternoon, at work. Nowadays, such "trends" are considered bad manners, but some ladies continue to be so painted. It’s useless to look for errors here - all makeup in this case is a complete mistake. And to correct the situation, it is best to familiarize yourself with the new make-up techniques, and then study the mistakes that you can make.
Modern rules
At first glance it seems that the fashion world left blue shadows and a black lip contour in the distant past, and this palette was replaced by nude palettes and bronzers with a natural shine. But it’s worth opening Instagram, as we see makeup lessons that allow you to create an equally vivid and catchy image, only now using those very skin tones. Is this really possible? Yes, it’s worth a little too much with a highlighter, apply several layers of brown shadows, stick on false eyelashes - and your face turns into a shimmering something. Such techniques should be avoided, since with their help you can do only vulgar makeup, devoid of a sense of proportion and taste. All these "tricks" are good for working in front of the camera, for the stage and TV shows. They are also useful for theme parties.
Now we turn to the main question: how to make vulgar make-up, or rather, what mistakes we make, and as a result of what actions the integrity and naturalness of the image collapses.
Foundation
Problem: those who grew up in the 80s and 90s remember the miraculous foundation “Ballet” and its mask effect. Despite the fact that this tool has long sunk into oblivion, new textures, if properly layered, make it possible to achieve a similar "ballet effect". Often with a tonal basis, they overdo the girls who have problem skin in the hope of hiding all the flaws. In such cases, on the contrary, they become more noticeable, in addition, the cream begins to clog into folds, making the face older and sloppy.
Solution: concealer will allow concealing, which should be applied pointwise. Finishing work with a facial tone is best done using mineral rather than compact powder.
Excessive sculpting
Problem: a few years ago, sculpting broke into the life of ordinary girls. This is a makeup technique in which the face relief is worked out with light and dark pigments. This technique is necessary for working in front of the camera and for the scene, but in everyday life it is superfluous, especially if you overdo it with the amount of paint. After this trend left the pinnacle of popularity, many cosmetologists and stylists began to assure women that sculpting is a vulgar make-up of a new generation.
Solution: if the face is too rough, you can afford easy contouring. Highlight the top of the cheekbones with a small amount of light pigment, and underline the bottom with a bronzer. Leave a dark current under the lower lip and a light one above the upper lip. Slightly darken the edges of the forehead and nose wings. Be sure to thoroughly blend the dye and fix with mineral powder.
Both here and there
Problem: stylists vied with each other: they need to single out one thing - either lips or eyes, and this is the truth. You can not thoroughly stain the eyelids with dark shadows and black pencil, and then even paint your lips with red or wine lipstick. So you will look like a representative of an ancient profession, and if there are defects on the face, they will become much more noticeable.
Solution: determine your strength. If you have an unearthly beauty in your eyes, work on them. Choose the appropriate shade of shadows and the technique of applying them, select the perfect shape of the arrows, paint over the cilia. If you are the owner of puffy and sensual lips, focus on them. Bright and dark lipsticks will help you, and at the same time, only slightly tint your eyes.
Watch your eyebrows
Problem: alas, most recently women all over the world realized that it is eyebrows that are responsible for the integrity of the image, they form our appearance. Often women ignore this point, turning their eyebrows either into thin strings of an unnatural shape, or into coarse "logs" covered with paint for tattooing. And the first and second option looks extremely vulgar, so you should find a middle ground.
Solution: grow your eyebrows and determine what their natural shape is. Stain it with henna or work it out daily with shadows / pencil and gel. It is important to choose a dye tone that matches the color of the hair.
Too much shine
Problem: bronzers and highlighters are modern beauty products that were designed to make women more beautiful, and at the same time leave their beauty natural. It all turned out a bit different than planned. When applying a bronzer and highlighter at home, sometimes you don’t notice that the pigment has already secured enough on the skin. Going out into the street, the face does not just shine, but reflects everything around and looks extremely untidy.
Solution: it is enough to apply one layer of highlighter and bronzer to shine, but not look vulgar.
Very rosy cheeks
Problem: the rules of the modern make-up dictate to us that the blush with which women previously covered almost all of her cheeks should be applied in small quantities on the cheeks between the strips of the sculptor and highlighter. Trying to be brighter, girls are often fond of pink and peach pigments, mixing them with light and dark lines that should frame them. It turns out an unaesthetic mix that looks dirty, untidy and gone.
Solution: try to use blush only for special events, they are not needed for daytime makeup. You need to apply them in the thinnest layer, and on top you can overlap with mineral powder. And try not to pick the blush to match the lipstick - this is the last century.
Taboo for owners of dark hair
At first glance it seems that brunettes have such a bright appearance that against its background even the most expressive and catchy make-up will look organic. But in reality it’s worth a little too much, and the image becomes cheaper, it becomes vulgar and untidy. What is he, a vulgar make-up for brunettes, and what mistakes can the dark-haired young ladies make when decorating their face?
- Very dark and very wide eyebrows. If your eyebrows are naturally black, then every extra hair will be very noticeable, so they will need to be regularly adjusted. When the eyebrows are dyed dark, make sure that it is slightly lighter than the shade of the hair.
- Lack of a clear lip contour. This does not mean that you need to draw it with a black pencil. Just lips should be graphic, neat, complete. If the lipstick seems to be smeared, the image becomes sloppy and untidy.
- Bright shadows. Against the background of dark hair, green, blue, turquoise and other “juicy” shades will look funny and defiant.
Taboo for blonde girls
For a blonde, vulgar make-up is any deviation from naturalness and naturalness, any use of bright or dark pigment. If the appearance is framed by light hair, you should be extremely careful in creating a make-up.
- When it comes to red lipstick, the tone should ideally fit the shade of the skin and eyes. Lips should be graphic and neat.
- The arrows are worth drawing very thin. Thick and uneven lines will cause a vulgar image.
- Excessive blush is unacceptable.
- Just as shown in the photo, the vulgar make-up for a blonde is too light lipstick, made up not along the contour of the lips. The color of lipstick should be natural and natural.
Conclusion
Makeup is a science. Sometimes, it seems that only a painter can master it. But do not despair. Train, experiment, look for the most suitable colors and textures, and be sure to ensure that the image is natural, harmonious and holistic.
