New Year's fuss, carnival costumes, joyful expectation of a miracle, pleasant excitements and experiences - we all know this from early childhood. And how wonderful that many traditions are passed down from generation to generation, including Christmas tree dances, mummers, happy fun, transferring today's girls and boys into a fairy tale where we were once transported too.
Companion of Santa Claus
Any carnival costume, as you understand, includes not only special attributes by which we can recognize the hero. Not only those or other items of clothing. Not a single invented image can do without an appropriate “war paint”, that is, a suitable make-up. Take, for example, the makeup of the Snow Maiden. This fairy-tale character has several incarnations. Let's remember folk tales. The Snow Maiden is the daughter of Frost and Spring, a young girl, meek and dreamy, longing for love. According to other stories, she appears before us as a girl made of snow by an old man and an old woman and who became their beloved granddaughter. And she is also the granddaughter of Santa Claus himself, his constant companion. Therefore, makeupSnow Maiden can also look different. It all depends on who the carnival costume is sewn for, what age the one who puts it on will be. And yet there are a few rules for creating an image that will be useful to you in any case.
Makeup Features
Firstly, the classic make-up of the Snow Maiden should be light, airy, gentle, close to natural. It is not allowed to use too bright, flashy tones and shades. Cold and neutral color palettes are welcome. Secondly, the Snow Maiden's makeup involves replacing the usual lipsticks with colorless lip glosses or with a slight color tint - pink, flesh tones. At the same time, the whole face of the fairy-tale heroine should shine with freshness, as if only from frost, as if glowing. Therefore, the Snow Maiden's makeup for the New Year necessarily includes blush - terracotta, pink. Thirdly, our heroine is fabulous. Therefore, it is welcome to diversify the festive make-up with rhinestones, pebbles, face art of the corresponding theme. Say what you like, but the Snow Maiden's makeup for the New Year gives unlimited scope for creativity and imagination for both professional and novice makeup artists.
Frost freshness
The first make-up option is proposed to be done in silver-blue tones. Prepare your face as you always do before applying makeup. We dare to assure you that making the Snow Maiden's make-up with your own hands is no more difficult than any evening or festive one. Only foundation creamit is advisable to take a little lighter than your everyday, and the powder should be with light-reflecting particles so that the skin shines. Under-eye circles and pimples, redness and blemishes mask with concealer. And apply blush, just blend them thoroughly and take quite a bit.
The most difficult thing, from our point of view, when doing the Snow Maiden's make-up with your own hands is to emphasize the eyes. It would be nice to use metallic silver shadows as a base. Apply them to the entire moving eyelid, especially carefully in the inner corners of the eyes. In the crease of the eyelid, dark gray or blue shadows will look great, which should be carefully blended up to the eyebrows. But under the eyebrows they paint over with very light shades - white or blue. Then the eyes will appear brighter, and the look will turn out to be more open and expressive. Blue arrows from about the middle of the upper eyelid a little to the temples and blue or silver shadows complete the makeup. You can leave them as a pronounced line, or you can blend them into a “haze”.
And finally, the lips. Pale pink, shiny or flesh, they are most suitable for the image of the gentle Snow Maiden you have conceived. We draw the attention of make-up artists to such a detail: this fairy-tale heroine personifies not only beauty, but also the purity of youth.
Kids version
Children's makeup of the Snow Maiden is extremely simple. After all, fresh colors play on it, natural and bright. Therefore, it will be enough to slightly bring the eyes with pale blue shadows and paint over the very tips of the eyelashes with mascara. Cheeks canleave it as it is or add a little pink blush - if the girl herself, representing the Snow Maiden, is pale. For lips, a colorless gloss is ideal - transparent or with sparkles. An original addition will be a snowflake drawn with professional shadows or paints on the cheek or at the temple. Or some sparkling rhinestones glued over one of the eyebrows.
Triumph by all the rules
Let's not forget that the New Year is a fabulous holiday, and its main character - the Snow Maiden - also comes from there, from favorite children's fairy tales. Here is the makeup for a wonderful evening, too, sometimes you want to make it extraordinary. Here's one idea: "The icy glow of the north." Blend golden shadows all over the upper eyelid. Color the lower eyelid along the ciliary line and the inside of the upper one in light green. With a thin line of black pencil, underline the upper eyelid from the inner corner to the outer. Then shade this arrow on the outer corner with green glitter eyeliner. Glue rhinestones, slightly lighten the inner corners with white or pale pink shadows. And, finally, a lipstick with sequins, close to natural tone, will be the final touch in the image of your gorgeous Snow Maiden.
