Makeup "banana"
Makeup in the style of "banana" is not something unusual and extravagant. In practice, such a make-up looks and is extremely simple. You will learn how to make up in this way and who suits such makeup, from this article.
Peculiarities
Make-up in this style got its unusual name due to the fact that the outlines that are drawn on the eyelid with the help of shadows and a pencil resemble an exotic fruit loved by many. If everything is done correctly and the right colors are chosen, then such a make-up will look beautiful and interesting on the eyes.
It is not difficult to make such a make-up - a little practice, and you will quickly learn how to correctly adjust the shape of the eyes. Professionals advise when performing such makeup to combine light and dark colors. Shades at the same time can be very different depending on your wishes and features of appearance.
This technique is also good because it suits girls of different ages. Thus, both young girls and mature women can paint their eyes. But because of its brightness and expressiveness, it is most often chosen as an evening make-up.
However, if you use nude shades, then everything can look very restrained.
Also often this type is used as a wedding visage. Light and pearlescent shadows, combined with each other and well blended, will complement the delicate and feminine bow, making it almost perfect.Also in such cases, all kinds of sparkles and rhinestones are often used.
What colors to choose?
To make your makeup look perfect, you need to be able to choose the right shades that suit your color type. The combination of bright and light shadows in general makes the look more expressive. If you have a rich eye color by nature, then the right contrasting shadows will make the shade even brighter and more interesting.
Such makeup is often performed in pencil technique. Here it is required to use a minimum amount of shadows, and all the main lines are drawn with colored eyeliners.
If you plan to do daytime makeup, then you will need to stock up on light shadows. A win-win option is classic beige shadows that suit everyone without exception. For dark-haired beauties with brown eyes, makeup artists recommend choosing deeper shades. And green-eyed and blue-eyed people will like gray shadows as a base. The dark color must be from the same gamut. So if you have a light shade in a warm range, then a darker one should be the same, and vice versa.
For an evening look, you can use brighter and more saturated colors. But at the same time, it is worth remembering also that all other details must be neat. When making a make-up in this style, you need to make sure that the skin tone is even, and the eyebrows have the correct shape.
Also think about how makeup fits the shape and features of your face. So, for example, if you have round eyes and a face, then it is best to refuse this makeup. But if you really like this type of make-up, then you can experiment with the classic technique and make the usual details a little more elongated. This will only benefit you.
And if your eye shape is more classic, then you should not change anything in standard makeup.
Make-up step by step
If you like the banana technique with the addition of a colored loop, then you should definitely learn how to paint the eyes in this way, especially since the execution scheme is extremely simple.
Choose the right colors that will open up your eyes and make your eyes more saturated and deep. Also stock up on brushes of different sizes. It is desirable that you have at least two of them - one for light shadows, and the second for dark ones. This will keep your makeup looking neat and prevent the colors from blending into a smudge on your eyelids.
Before you paint over the eyes themselves, regardless of what you plan to do it with - shadows or a pencil, you need to even out the tone of the face. The basis for such makeup should be almost perfect. If your skin is covered with pimples and other imperfections, you can use a primer or base, they can prepare your face for a dense layer of tone. Apply foundation, correct problem areas with concealer and, if desired, fix makeup with powder.
Once you've worked on your foundation, move on to highlighting your eyes. To make the makeup last longer, you will need to apply a quality base on the eyelids or simply powder the moving part. This is especially true if your eyes naturally do not withstand makeup well. This is true for girls with oily skin and for young ladies with an impending eyelid.
Then you can move on to drawing the outline. Most often this is done with a soft pencil. It should not be too sharp so that the lines are wide and easy to shade.It is worth starting the drawing of the contour from the lower eyelid, highlighting it with black or another dark color.
The mobile eyelid is also dark. Shadows need to be shaded only along the crease above the surface of the moving eyelid. The contours should not be clear, so they need to be carefully shaded with a suitable brush. Then carefully connect both lines. The transition should be smooth and accurate. The corner of the eye should be darkened as much as possible.
The next step is to change the brush. Take the one with which you will apply a light product to the surface of the moving eyelid. When everything is set, use a pencil or an angled brush with dark shadows to draw a dark line along the lash line. The final stage of this makeup is staining the eyelashes with dark mascara.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in such makeup. After you try this make-up a few times, you will "fill your hand" and will be able to experiment with a combination of colors and confidently draw smooth lines in front of your eyes.
Try to combine not only basic shades, but also some less familiar colors. For example, you can try non-standard makeup using burgundy or dark purple shadows. It may seem unusual, but in your free time you can try to experiment. You might like this new style.
