Hollywood makeup

Hollywood makeup is almost the most popular request that makeup artists receive from their clients before corporate parties, weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. To look their best, celebrities use the help of a whole beauty team, consisting of the best makeup artists, hairdressers and stylists. They already know exactly what techniques should be used to make their star wards feel confident on the red carpet. Hollywood make-ups always look extremely impressive and in this article we would like to talk a little more about how to create such make-ups at home without the help of professional makeup artists.

What is Hollywood style makeup?

The basic rule: in Hollywood makeup, the eyes should be very bright and expressive, the lips should be juicy, and the tone of the face should be flawless. In fact, Hollywood makeup is literally the essence of various techniques and all of them must be performed perfectly. Of course, Hollywood makeup is not a task for beginners, it requires the possession of certain techniques.

What are the types of Hollywood makeup?

Among the most popular Hollywood makeup techniques, you can find an emphasis on red lipstick, smokey eyes, and classic graphic black arrows. The contouring technique is also necessarily used: in view of the fact that it is it that allows such makeup to look as impressive as possible in the photo. Contouring makes facial features very expressive. Hollywood makeup excludes all possible nude variations, as a rule, such a make-up is bright enough and certainly not intended for everyday wear.

How to do Hollywood makeup?

Starting to apply makeup, you need to create an even tone of the face. After all, it is Hollywood makeup that always looks perfect in front of camera flashes. And the very impeccability, first of all, is provided by the foundation. You can use a sponge or a duofiber brush. Use a product with a sufficiently high coverage density – but at the same time, apply a thin layer. Any imperfections, if necessary, mask with a pigmented corrector.

Be sure to also correct the area around the eyes with a reflective concealer. Powder the entire foundation with translucent satin powder. It will additionally even out the tone of the face, help make it healthier.

Next, let's start contouring. This technique is necessary due to the fact that with the help of a dense tonal foundation, we seem to have erased the natural relief of the face. Now, with the help of special correctors, we will recreate it anew. You can use both powder and cream products: but keep in mind that if you are an adherent of cream contouring, then you need to apply all the necessary products on the foundation, before powdering. Otherwise, the funds will simply go in spots.

We apply contouring agents under the cheekbones, on the lateral surfaces of the forehead, on the lateral surfaces of the nose, along the contours of the face – and be sure to shade well. We apply a shining highlighter on the cheekbones, blend towards the temples. We also apply a highlighter on the back and tip of the nose, a “tick" above the upper lip, in the inner corners of the eyes and under the eyebrows.

Let's move on to eyebrow shaping. Choose the shade of your brow makeup product carefully. Choose shades half a tone lighter than your hair if you are a brunette and a tone darker if you are a blonde. Brown-haired and redheads are best to choose tone-on-tone options. It is best to use brow pomade and further texturize the hairs with gel or mascara to set the makeup.

We turn to eye makeup and do it according to the intended technique. These can be classic black smokes or spectacular arrows. If you plan to focus on the lips, then eye makeup should be as discreet as possible. Hollywood makeup is distinguished by the density of dark eyelashes. Makeup artists use lengthening and voluminous mascara, which paints them well. As a rule, several layers are applied, and the previous ones must dry so that they do not allow the eyelashes to stick together. In addition, you can use false eyelashes. The best fit are those that are distinguished by short villi at the inner corner and long enough at the outer. They create the effect of like a cat's eyes. Since Hollywood makeup belongs to the category of evening, false eyelashes will be quite appropriate.

And now – paint the lips. For example, red lipstick, if that was the intention. Or, if you made the main emphasis in makeup on your eyes, then it makes sense to use nude semi-matte lipstick and outline the contour of the lips with a nude pencil.
