How to learn how to do makeup beautifully yourself?

The service of professional make-up is now quite popular. But nevertheless, girls, most often, resort to services of this kind before important events – weddings, birthdays, corporate parties and other holidays. Hardly anyone goes to a makeup artist every day. But at the same time, we are sure that it is absolutely realistic to learn how to do competent makeup every day – no worse than that of a professional makeup artist. And today we would like to tell you a little more about how to achieve success in this field and how to learn how to paint beautifully on your own.

How to learn how to do beautiful makeup yourself?

First of all, keep in mind that makeup is an extremely individual thing. When doing makeup, you need to take into account many details – first of all, the features of your appearance. This is the shape of the face, and the tone of the skin, and the color of the eyes, and the bend of the eyebrows, and even the shade of the hair. All this together predetermines the choice of cosmetics and the accents that can be made with its help. In fact, not all makeup artists are able to discern individuality in their clients: many do makeup for each girl according to exactly the same patterns. It may look quite good, but at the same time, that same individuality is quickly lost. By doing makeup exclusively for yourself, you get an easier task: after all, it is important for you to study only one face – your own.

If you look at yourself, you will understand what you would like to draw attention to. For example, dignity is best emphasized either with color or with a radiance effect. But imperfections are either masked or taken into the shadows – so that they are not conspicuous. If your appearance is contrasting enough, for example, you have fair skin and dark hair, then you can afford to make up quite brightly – and use, for example, red lipstick or bright arrows on a daily basis. At the same time, keep in mind that the emphasis in makeup should be one. On the eyes, lips or healthy, beautiful skin of the face and well-developed eyebrows. If you have a not too contrasting appearance, then on the contrary, nude makeup will be the best solution for you.

What you need to know to do makeup at the level of professional makeup artists?

Here we would like to talk about the classic rules of competent makeup.

The skin must be prepared for makeup – moisturize it and saturate it with useful substances. This is a mandatory part of the program. To do this, use the usual care products: serum, oil or cream. The main thing is not to use acidic care products before makeup, it is not very good for the skin. Leave acids for evening care. If you properly care for your skin before makeup, then the entire make-up will be applied easier and it will last longer.

Next comes the application of foundation. This is already a special art. There are different tools and techniques that can turn a layer of cream into a “second skin". It is best to use a damp sponge, or a duofiber brush. Never smear foundation on your face. You need to apply the tone as if with patting movements. If you need to hide a lot of flaws, then in no case, do not apply many layers of foundation. One layer will be enough: it is better to correct all imperfections locally with the help of a pigmented corrector and shade well. Be sure to set the tone with translucent powder.

After completing the tone, proceed to the contouring technique. It is performed depending on what requires "corrections": sometimes you need to visually reduce the cheeks, sometimes – narrow the forehead, "remove" the hump on the nose, give clarity to the chin line. It is best to use a gray-brown powder corrector. Apply it under the cheekbones with a small brush and blend well. You can also walk along the contours of the face, nose, lateral surfaces of the forehead. Do not forget that the highlighter on the cheekbones always decorates, makes the skin look fresher.

After correcting the face, proceed to the eyebrows. They cannot be ignored – it is the shape of the eyebrows that “holds” the face and determines its expression. Therefore, it is so important to ensure that they always have a graceful curve and look neat. To do this, they need to be slightly tinted and carefully laid with a gel: this will make them more voluminous. At the same time, it is important to know when to stop and not draw eyebrows again – most often, correction requires only a couple of strokes with eyebrow lipstick or shadows. Again, eyebrows are a purely individual story. Choose a shape based on your facial features.

The secret to good eye makeup is to use a primer for hold and good blending brushes. And already you determine the technique for yourself.

For lips on a daily basis, we advise you to use moisturizing glosses, and for evening events, long-lasting matte lipsticks are well suited.
