Beauty is what every woman strives for. At different times, fashion dictated certain standards, under which everyone tried to adapt, but even in distant, ancient centuries, there was such a thing as makeup. How to choose the right one for your type of face, how to use it to highlight the advantages, hide the flaws and look more attractive at the same time? Let's look into this issue in detail.
What make-up is made of
There are fundamental principles in the science of applying face paint, according to which all makeup artists work.
First is the tone. It serves as the foundation, on which everything else is built. You may not know how to choose the right makeup for eyebrows, eyes, lips, you can generally leave these areas of the face unpainted. But a well-chosen tone will do almost half the job.
Second position - relief. Nowadays, it is called sculpting and has become incredibly common thanks to socialnetworks. How to make up yourself in accordance with modern canons of beauty, we will consider below.
The third aspect is the eyes. If you don’t know how to choose the right eye makeup based on their shape, size and fit, it’s better to limit yourself to nude shadows and mascara without getting into art. Eyebrows are in fourth place, and they play an extremely important role in the perception of the face. You must adhere to your natural eyebrow line, as well as know the basic rules for coloring them. Well, lips, of course. Plump, thin, tight or sensual - they need contour, tone and shine.
Tone and color type
There is a long-worn axiom that tells us that the appearance of the whole world can be conditionally divided into four groups. These are the color types "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter". Depending on which of these categories you belong to, it is worth choosing the main tone, as well as the rest of the cosmetics palette. We will now learn in detail how to choose the right makeup for your appearance, based on the color type. Which shades will be acceptable and even necessary, and which ones should be categorically excluded from your palette. But slightly deviating from the topic, we note that the appearance will be the most harmonious if you choose the right not only makeup, but also hair color. For various reasons, many girls refuse to go with their natural hair. It may have an inexpressive shade, gray hairs may slip through, etc. In this case, it is worth monitoring in detail the question of whetherwhat color curls will suit you.
Winter
This contrasting and incredibly bright color type is considered the most common on the planet. It happens that a woman has naturally black hair and fair skin, but in some cases a similar effect is achieved through paint. These nuances are not important, since we are dealing with the result. If your hair and eyebrows are dark, while your skin is light and has a cold undertone, then you are definitely "winter". In the palette of this color type, the place is reserved exclusively for cold and bright shades. The most important thing is to choose a suitable base, in which there will be no yellow pigment. Also, when choosing lipsticks, shadows and eyeliners, pay attention only to those colors that have a cold undertone.
Spring
Girls who are representatives of this type, alas, are few. This is just a concentration of tenderness and light, which is presented in the form of peach or beige skin with freckles, light green or blue eyes, blond or golden hair. Of course, the makeup base for such a girl should have a warm, yellowish undertone. Blush is better to choose among the peach palette, in fact, like lipstick. It is important to know that bright and dark tones are contraindicated for "spring". They only create a ridiculous appearance, and do not place accents, as many mistakenly believe.
Summer
The color type is also very common, especially in our Russian environment. It's funny that many representatives"summers" can easily transform into "winter" by dyeing their blond hair black. For this reason, the palette for both types has a lot in common, but not without nuances. Since the representatives of the "summer" are very bright women who do not have saturated eyebrows, eyelashes and hair. How to choose the right makeup for a similar color type? Is it okay to use bright colors? First, the palette must remain cold. It is worth excluding all warm shades, especially orange, as it gives the face a shade of illness. As for saturated colors, it is permissible to use them, but, again, in the cold range. It is worth noting that a make-up with bright accents on the "summer" face will look very bright, so this option is best left for solemn and evening outings.
Autumn
Rarely in our strip there are representatives of this color type, so few people know how to choose the right makeup for it. Autumn girls are most often brown-haired or red-haired, their skin shimmers with a bronze tint, often there are age spots on it. The shade of the skin can be pale, but there will certainly be a "golden" in it. Against the background of all this, amber blue or brown eyes flaunt. The main condition in tone and makeup for such women is dullness. Avoid glitter, mother-of-pearl and overflows. Use predominantly warm shades, plum or beige.
How to choose the right makeup by typefaces
Now let's move on to the shape of the face. Not every lady can boast of a perfect oval, but this does not mean at all that only a few will remain beauties. There are several types of face, starting from which we will do contouring or sculpting.
- Square. The type of face is characterized by heaviness and angularity, so with the help of a make-up it is worth smoothing all the edges. You will need a foundation that matches your skin tone, and a tone darker. With the help of the second, we darken the sharp corners of the lower jaw and the edges of the forehead. Dark blush is applied to the line of the cheekbones in the form of a triangle, and the hollow under the cheekbones is slightly lightened.
- Circle. You can stretch your face as much as possible by darkening its side parts. Dark blush should be applied along the cheekbones and blended towards the corners of the lips.
- Triangle. Here you can not do without darkening the forehead. A dark tone is applied to the upper part of the forehead, as well as to the cheekbones. It is important to highlight the lips to balance the proportions of the triangular face.
- How to choose the right makeup for an oval face? This type does not require adjustment. Just highlight the cheekbones, apply blush, and most importantly - use a single tone for the entire face.
Eyes and makeup basics
This part of a woman's face has always received maximum attention, and for good reason. Much depends on their shape, and the overall impression of a person depends on how correctly the make-up is chosen for this form. How to choose the right makeup for the shape of the eyes? What eye shapes are there?
- Down corners. Due to such a landingthe eye face often looks a bit sad and infantile. It is rare for women who possess similar features to create the image of a predator. However, it is worth applying shadows using this technique. It is necessary to "raise" the extreme corner of the eye as much as possible with the help of arrows, shadows, false eyelashes.
- Convex. Too big eyes, over which a huge upper eyelid hangs - the basis for applying dark shades. No need to paint the middle of the moving eyelid with a highlighter, as in the classic version of makeup. Black or gray paint is applied to this place and shaded in both directions. On such eyes, arrows of various thicknesses look very attractive.
- Close-set. This is the case when the classic eye makeup technique comes in handy. It is necessary to apply a light tone to the inner corners of the eyes, to the middle of the moving eyelid and under the eyebrow. In a close tone, and even with arrows, the eyes are "stretched" to the sides, creating the effect of a cat's gaze.
- Set wide apart. Properly selected makeup for this type is smokey ice. It is only important to remember that dark shadows are applied both to the outer and inner corners of the eyes.
Choose lipstick
There are no clear rules and even recommendations regarding this beauty product. You can say even more - now there is no specific fashion for dark or light, brown or pink lipstick. All colors are in trend, but you should choose only those that suit you. First of all, the shade of lipstick is worth choosing.in accordance with the color type. The next rule is that it should be in harmony with blush, as well as with the image as a whole.
It's not just about the palette, it's also about the occasion. Agree, even a red dress designed for daytime events will look too vulgar in tandem with the same scarlet lipstick. But an evening dress in similar colors requires an appropriate addition.
