Before you start applying makeup, you need to explore all the subtleties and nuances that can significantly affect the final result, as well as familiarize yourself with the basic steps for its implementation.
Color accent in makeup can also be added. The most fashionable is the version with the lower eyelid mucosa. Usually it is let down with a soft pencil in muted saturated shades of green, blue or purple. Hue is selected depending on the natural color of the eyes.
Preparation of the base
The main thing for a beautiful and gentle make-up is smooth and even skin. Before applying the shadows is very important to prepare a good base for make-up. Therefore, the first step is to thoroughly clean the face with a sponge or cotton pad moistened with a tonic. Tonic can be replaced with micellar water. The best option would be a matte effect.
Then you need to apply a special primer. It can be white, beige or pink, depending on the skin tone. The use of this cosmetic product contributes to a better grip of the makeup.
The primer should be carefully shaded over the surface of the face. You can apply it with a brush or fingers with soft light movements. A concealer can also be used above the primer to help hide minor imperfections on the epidermis and narrow pores.
Defect correction
The second important step in preparing the skin for further makeup application is masking the imperfections of the skin. To do this, use special color correctors to help hide acne, blemishes on the face and small wrinkles or even scars.
Correctors are applied pointwise or zonal, depending on the size of the defect. So the green tint helps to hide the redness, pink masks the bruises, violet removes yellowness, and nude nuances allow you to adjust the shape of the face, eyes and nose. Each shade must be gently shaded.
Tonal basis
In accordance with the skin tone is selected and tonal tool. The base must completely coincide with the skin tone, in order to avoid the effect of a “mask” on the face. Apply a tonal or BB-cream with a brush, and with the help of the sponge gently blend.
Important: it is necessary to feather the tonal basis from the face with the cheekbones to the neck in order to avoid abrupt transitions.
It is best to choose a foundation with a matte effect. This cream will hide the enlarged pores and remove the greasy luster from the face. Base with shimmering particles should be used in the case when the rest of the makeup is planned in nude bodily shades.
Powder coating
Makeup artists recommend using a transparent powder with matting effect for daytime makeup. In some cases, you can choose powder with shimmering particles that are able to reflect the light and give the face a slight glow.
It is better to apply powder with a special large brush with a soft pile with a thin layer, while covering the entire surface of the face and neck. You should start with the upper part of the face, gradually lowering to the chin.
Use blush
The final step of preparing the face is applying blush. Choosing the rouge should also be in accordance with the skin tint, so a pink subtone is better for a cold color type, and an orange subtone for a warm color.
Blush must always be applied before eye makeup.
Apply blush fan-shaped brush on the cheekbones and cheeks. It is important not to overdo the amount of cosmetics, otherwise, instead of a fresh image, you can achieve the opposite effect.
