How to put on beautiful makeup

In order to get beautiful makeup, it is absolutely not necessary to contact professional makeup artists on this issue; you can do it yourself, having the necessary cosmetics and makeup brushes on hand. So that you can cope with this task, let’s figure out how to put on makeup beautifully.

What should you consider before applying makeup?

To make your makeup look good, you should consider a few nuances. In particular:

1. For what occasion do you do makeup? If you are preparing for an event: a banquet, a wedding, a party, you should do evening makeup, which allows the use of dark shades of eye shadow and eyeliner or lipstick. If you are going to work or a business meeting, you need to get by with a light daytime makeup with light beige or brown shadows, as well as nude lipstick - this option will always be appropriate.

1. What is the condition of your skin? If you have a large number of rashes and redness, do not forget to use special corrective products and dense textures of foundations in order to hide such imperfections; in this case, you should avoid bright red lipstick - it will focus attention on existing inflammations. If there are no skin problems, you can decide how to apply makeup at your own discretion. It is allowed to use bright colors of lipstick or eye shadow, as well as light textures of foundation.

1. What will you be wearing? Remember that your makeup should be in harmony with your outfit.

You should also take into account the shape of your lips, eyes, and chin when choosing one or another makeup scheme. Remember that there are recommendations on how to properly do makeup for different face types, eye shapes and lips, which will help you hide existing flaws and highlight your strengths. Be sure to study them and apply them to make your makeup look beautiful.

The main stages of creating makeup

It’s not difficult to figure out how to learn to paint from scratch. To begin with, you should collect the basic cosmetics, which will include: foundation or foundation base (girls with oily skin should use both of these products), powder, blush, eye shadow (it is advisable to choose basic brown shades to begin with), eye pencils and for lips, mascara, eyebrow product, lipstick. You need to do makeup with them step by step as follows:

1. First, you should cleanse your skin and apply moisturizer to it. A few minutes after this, you can carefully apply the foundation with a brush, sponge or fingers, spreading it over your entire face. If you have problem areas of the skin, for example, rashes or redness, as well as bruises, you need to apply a corrector to these areas.

2. Next you need to shape your eyebrows. They should be combed, shaped with a pencil and tinted with eye shadow on the eyebrows. If your hair is unruly, you can use brown fixing wax for styling.

3. The next step is eye makeup. You will need to apply shadows step by step, blending them on the moving eyelid, apply liquid eyeliner, and then mascara.

4. Next you need to do lip makeup using lipstick or gloss.

5. The last step is to apply blush to the cheekbones, as well as veil powder. If you have fairly oily skin, you may want to use a compact powder that gives full coverage.

Important: if you are doing bright makeup, you need to focus on the eyes or on the lips (but not on the eyes and lips at the same time). Let's take a closer look at how to do this correctly.

How to paint your lips beautifully?

If you are going on a romantic date, you should focus your makeup on your lips. Step by step you will need to draw them like this:

1. First, apply a special primer to your lips. It will ensure high durability of makeup throughout the evening. Please note: you only need to use a special lip primer; face or eye makeup products will not work for you.

2. Take a contour pencil and carefully outline the contour of your lips. If you don't have a pencil that matches the shade of the lipstick you've chosen, you can take a thin lip brush, put a little lipstick on it and draw a contour with it.

3. Using a brush, carefully apply lipstick to your lips.

If you want to achieve a glossy shine, you will need to apply a clear gloss over your lipsticks. If at home you want to get a matte finish, you will need to carefully blot your lips with a napkin and lightly powder the lipstick.

Makeup helps girls emphasize all the advantages of facial beauty and hide certain flaws. If you know how to paint your eyes correctly, you can highlight their depth and brightness, make your look more languid or dramatic.

How to apply eye shadow correctly

The first thing that is important to remember is that you need to use high-quality cosmetics. Any cheap shadows (regardless of whether they are liquid or pressed) tend to crease in the folds of the eyelid. This looks extremely sloppy and spoils the overall image. The second thing you need to focus on is the base. Without foundation and powder coating, the colors of the shadows will be inexpressive.

How to paint eyes with shadows

1. The base is applied to the skin first. Instead, you can use nude shadows or powder. Let us immediately note that by base we mean a foundation or a special base for makeup; Makeup with smoley eyes shadows
2. Next, white shades of shadow are applied to the skin of the moving eyelid, and they should also be applied under the eyebrow. This will make the eyes more expressive and all other colors that will be painted on top of the light layer will look brighter;
3. If you use shadows with shimmer, you should not just shade them, but work them into the skin. It is most convenient to use a flat shadow brush. To work with classic pressed shadows, a regular small sponge will do. They need to apply the base color to the upper eyelid;
4. To visually make your eyes more expressive and give your eyes an open look, you need to add a little shine to the corner. This could be a touch of highlighter or just a drop of white eyeshadow;
5. Regardless of the shape, it's important to darken the outer corner to add drama without making the look too busy. To do this, combine two dark colors (brown and black, blue and black, etc.), and apply them strictly along the eyelash growth line with a beveled thin brush. Afterwards, like a liner, a thin tail is drawn beyond the movable eyelid; Shading shadows
6. All that remains is to apply mascara and fill in your eyebrows.

Shadow application scheme

Why should you mix two dark colors rather than just one? Most drama shades look garish on their own, and some (brown) can even add age or redness. To avoid this, they are combined with each other.

How to apply makeup with a pencil

If previously it was recommended to paint your eyes with either a white or black pencil, now it is correct to use any shades. The brighter it is, the more interesting it is. This is a huge scope for imagination, because you can choose the right option for any color. But the most popular ones are still black, brown and dark blue.

How to apply makeup with a pencil step by step:

1. The pencil is used in almost the same way as the liner. Under no circumstances draw one line from the inner corner to the outer one. It is unlikely to turn out smooth and neat, much less symmetrical;
2. The pencil is applied only with thin, light strokes. The tail is removed at the end of the process, so first all attention is paid to the thin line of eyelash growth. Try to work with a sharpened pencil to make it as invisible as possible. Later you can give it the required thickness; Lining the upper eyelid with a pencil
3. To ensure that pencil strokes look uniform, they must be lightly shaded with an angled brush. And only after this the tip of the arrow is extended; Lower eyelid lining
4. To open up the look, apply a little highlighter to the lower eyelid. As an alternative, you can use a white or shiny light pencil (in this case, its pigment will need to be thoroughly rubbed); Eyeliner with light pencil
5. After applying mascara, the hollow at the inner side of the upper eyelid is emphasized with shadows, and the line of the eyebrows is highlighted.

It is not recommended to apply a dark color to the bottom - this will make the look tired, and the eyes will visually narrow unattractively. The only option when this is acceptable is with oriental themed makeup.

Classic arrows suit almost all girls. They are the basis of the favorite makeup of Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and many other symbols of seductiveness. Despite its apparent simplicity, a clear line with an elegant tail is quite difficult to draw.

Schemes of arrows on the eyes

Instructions on how to make arrows in the style of Kylie Jenner:

1. You need to apply a light base to the upper eyelid. We recommend using dry eye shadow or powder. To make the eyes appear more open, shadows of a darker color are also applied to the hollow of the upper eyelid. After this shadow is shaded;
2. Pearlescent shadows are applied to the main part of the eyelid over the base. They should also be applied to the corner of the bridge of the nose and under the eyebrows. This will make the image more harmonious;
3. The liner is used to paint the eyelash growth line. To do this, use the edge of the brush to apply thin small strokes up to a third of the eyelid. To learn how to draw arrows beautifully, you need to do them exclusively with your eyes open. This way, the curvature or unevenness will be immediately noticeable;
4. The ponytail is drawn at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the lash line. Then a thin line is drawn from its extreme tail up to a third of the century. It is painted over with eyeliner or pencil;
5. The rest of the eyelid is also painted over with thin strokes. The most inconspicuous lines should be in the corner of the eye;
6. Next, eyelashes are painted. But Kylie often uses extensions (by the way, they can also be painted with mascara). Then they will look very natural.

Learning to apply eyeliner

With eyeliner you can draw not only thin “cat-like” arrows on yourself, but also spectacular art. They are fundamentally different from thin and ultra-thin in their shape and size. Considered incredibly popular thanks to the style trend of the 80s and 90s.

Tips on how to paint with liner for beginners:

1. Regardless of the type of eyeliner (matte, glossy, liquid, pencil, etc.), it is applied only to a powder base. Otherwise, the line will be smeared and imprinted on the upper fold of the eyelid;
2. All girls face problems with “different” arrows. To avoid this, you need to apply makeup only with your eyes open. Please note that even templates will not help in this case: the eye sockets have different shapes, which are especially noticeable when painting the arrows;
3. To properly apply liner to your eyes, you cannot draw one continuous line. The strokes are painted first, and only then are they connected to each other;
4. The most important rule when working with eyeliner is that the first line should be as thin as possible. If necessary, it can be thickened, but it cannot be made thinner. You will have to completely wash off your makeup.

How to paint with mascara

Without applying mascara, eye makeup will not be complete. This is a unique cosmetic product that, even on its own, can make your eyes look spectacular and bright. It is best to use black and brown mascara, although you can adapt to using brighter shades: blue, green, purple.

How to apply mascara to your eyelashes step by step:

1. The hair needs to be curled. To do this, you can use tweezers, but if you don’t have them at hand, you can even put them on your finger. To do this, the index finger is applied horizontally to the upper eyelid and the eyelashes are smoothed in its direction;
2. It is important to color the hairs on the inside of the eye first. The brush with mascara is directed parallel to the eyelash growth line and drawn from the very roots to the tips. Depending on the consistency of this cosmetic, two or more layers may be required; The principle of applying mascara step by step
3. The lower eyelashes must be painted. To do this, make progressive circular movements with the brush. From roots to ends, the paint is applied with gentle movements;
4. Finally, you need to apply an additional layer of mascara to the roots - this will extend the “durability” of the curls. If some hairs are stuck together, they are simply combed out with a brush or tweezers. Curling the ends

Step-by-step instructions on how to apply makeup for different eye shapes

Depending on the shape, there are different technologies for applying shadows and liner. Small manipulations will allow you to create first-class makeup yourself. Any master can, with the help of small strokes, emphasize the most advantageous features of the eyes and hide any imperfections.

Makeup for drooping eyelids

When the eyelids droop, the eyes immediately become visually smaller, this gives extra age and creates the effect of “chronic” fatigue. By carefully darkening the problem area, you can not only immediately become younger and refresh your image.

Master class on how to apply makeup to drooping eyes:

1. The base is applied to the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid is lined with a light pencil or highlighter. The fold of skin at the outer corner is carefully shaded with brown shadows or liner;
2. The brown shade is stretched to a third of the lower eyelid; a tail is made at the corner to create a small arrow. Professionals shade the shadows or pencil with a brush, but at home you can use a sponge;
3. To beautifully darken the overhanging part of the eyelid, apply a dark shade of eyeshadow on top of it, as close as possible to the natural palette. It blends out very well. Beige light shadows are applied to the outer part and also blended;
4. To make it look as natural as possible, the shadows of the two shades are gently mixed together. This will ensure a transition from light to dark;
5. Only after this is an arrow drawn on the outer corner. To do this, it is best to use a dark shade of eyeshadow: brown, graphite gray or another of your choice;
6. If the eyelids droop a lot, but you also need to create a reflective accent on top of the darkened crease. To do this, pearl-colored shadows or shimmer are applied under the eyebrows and before the beginning of the darkened area;
7. A thin line of black eyeliner is drawn along the lash line. The lower eyelid can be tinted with a bright liner. It is selected depending on the color of the eyes;
8. The corners are brightened with highlighter. It also tints the area under the lower eyelid.

Protruding and large eyes

If almond-shaped eyes do not cause their owners any problems at all, then girls with convex and overly large eye sockets have to visually narrow them all the time.

How to properly make up bulging round eyes:

1. A clear black outline is applied to the cream base. The easiest way to create it is with eyeliner. The liner line is shaded with a beveled hard sponge or brush to create a spectacular tip;
2. The moving part of the eyelid is covered with a matte, calm shade of shadow. Additionally, the fold under the eyebrow is lightened;
3. Afterwards, just a little dark is applied on top of the light color. You shouldn’t completely darken your eyes - this will give extra emphasis to the convex part;
4. Only after this is the classic arrow drawn with a dark liner. Some makeup artists use black shadows for such purposes, which are applied with a very small and thin moistened brush;
5. Using a brush, small upward strokes are made, the shadows seem to stretch towards the middle of the eye. This will darken the moving eyelid and make it as neat as possible;
6. Apply highlighter or shadows with shimmer to the corners;
7. Now a light natural eyelash shadow is created from the middle of the lower eyelid. This is most conveniently done with the same shadows that were used for the base on the upper part. Be sure to emphasize the lower rim of the eye. To do this, you need to outline it with a gray or dark beige pencil. It is unacceptable to use light shades.

Painting narrow and small eyes

Slanted or narrow eyes most often have a small shape. But despite this, with the right makeup they look incredibly impressive and beautiful.

Makeup for narrow eyes

How to properly make up oriental eyes at home:

1. The entire moving eyelid is worked on with the lightest shade. Ideally, it should be close to porcelain or white;
2. After this, the skin is covered with mother-of-pearl or shimmer;
3. A thin line is applied with a liner to the inner corner of the eye and the outer part. Next, select a cool shade of brown and apply it to the upper fold of the eyebrow;
4. Now the most interesting point. The painting scheme for narrow eyes is radically different from all those described above. In particular, the fact that the fold between the movable eyelid and the eyebrow is emphasized by a thin line of dark color. It needs to be created with the eye open, so at first you will have to practice a little;
5. This “bird” stretches the tail, it remains open. Then a second arrow is drawn from the middle of the eye to the outer corner, and its tail will cover the upper eyelid. Naturally, the lines are shaded according to the growth of the eyelashes;
6. Afterwards, the eyes are lined in a classic (cat-like) way with liquid eyeliner. All that remains is to add a little mascara and gloss under the lower eyelid.

Evening smokey eye is done according to the same scheme, but brighter colors are selected for it.

Deep-set eyes

The main problem with deep-set eyes is excess volume above the upper fold. If the eyelids are sunken, then the eye socket is “lost” under them. Here it is important to darken not the fold itself, but the space above it.

Deep-set eyes

Instructions on how to do daytime makeup for deep-set eyes:

1. For this type, the optimal color scheme is beige-brown with a small splash of red. This will create the most natural shadow;
2. A dark shadow is applied over the problematic crease. It is shaded at a slight angle, as if stretching the eye. The same shade is applied in very small quantities under the lower eyelid;
3. To prevent your eyes from looking tired, a thin classic liner is painted along the eyelashes. This subtle outline will also help lift the outer corner, giving it a slight stretch;
4. For the winged line on the upper eyelid, it is best to use liquid eyeliner, but do not extend the tip. This will only emphasize the hollowness. Leave it sort of uncovered. Emphasize the lower lash line from the middle to the edge with a dark shaded line;
5. A small amount of glitter is applied to the inner corner. For deep-set eyes, we recommend working exclusively with matte shadows in natural tones - this will make you look much more natural than when using flashy shades;
6. Afterwards mascara is applied and eyebrows are drawn in. Please note that the eyebrow area should not be highlighted either. Leave it practically untouched (except for foundation).

Shadows according to eye color

According to all the laws of color, if you use the “correct” shades in the shadows, you can achieve an incredible effect: the color will become bright, expressive, and deep.

Shadows according to eye color

Brown eyes

Dark, cool shades suit brunettes very well. These are purple, lilac and the whole range of blue. For daytime makeup, we recommend paying attention to delicate lilac tones and matte beige (they are natural and suitable for everyone).

Eyeshadow palette for brown eyes

Greens

For girls with such a unique color, shadows with a reddish pigment are suitable. These are brown, red, peach and other “warm” shades. Red and pinkish palettes look especially cool.

Palette for green eyes

Gray and gray blue

These are almost perfect colors. Almost all shades are suitable for their owners, including black and dark gray.

Shadows for gray and gray-green eyes

Blue

Light gray shades of eyeshadow, yellowish, beige and pearlescent are suitable for all blondes. Black and dark gray liners would be ideal for eyeliner. But it is better to avoid brown and bright shades.

You can apply foundation with a synthetic bristle brush, sponge or fingers. Which method to choose is up to you: the brush provides a denser coverage, and the sponge provides translucent coverage.

When using a sponge, be sure to wet it with water and squeeze it thoroughly. This will make the foundation much easier to apply. At the same time, do not rub it into the skin, use patting movements.

Distribute the foundation from the center to the periphery, so that almost none remains in the area at the edge of the hair. In addition, blend the product well on the chin and near the ears so that no boundaries are visible.

Use concealer and, if necessary, corrector not before, but after applying foundation. Read more about these tools here.
