If the lip line is calm, a calm eyebrow line is also combined with it, and the same eyebrows support the curved lip line.
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.
Directions
"Smoky Ice" ("smoky eyes") - the most common direction of Hollywood style. This make-up is perfect for the red carpet, secular parties and other celebrations. Hollywood stars often adopt the expressiveness of "smoky eyes", for example, this makeup is often used Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson.

Hollywood style - these are bright red or purple lips. For more volume, professionals brighten them in the corners from the outside, correct the contour, emphasizing the protruding parts. After that, lipstick is applied.
Beyond Smokey Ice, make-up artists actively use black arrows, which are applied with a very contrasting line. You can also use shadows of a bright shade. When choosing the “smoky ice” direction, the lips are covered with matte lipstick, and if the eyes are underlined with thin arrows, they can be shiny and shining.

Make up film stars of the 50s
The classic Hollywood makeup technique dates back to the 50s of the last century.In those years, the art of make-up flourished. Ladies acquire more femininity, pallor of the skin fades into the background, light tan is gaining popularity.
Hollywood make-up of the 1950s is the most attractive and feminine in the history of make-up. The beauties of that time attracted attention and always looked great. It's safe to assume that Hollywood diva Marilyn Monroe is a style icon of the 50s. In her images, one can see the characteristic features of the make-up of that era.
It was necessary to start Hollywood makeup with an evenly distributed tone. Without the mask effect, where the face borders the neck and ears, the transition should be invisible. The cheekbones were emphasized by applying blush.
In the arsenal of makeup artists then appeared a variety of decorative cosmetics.
The fashion of eyes lined with arrows has survived to this day, but then they were drawn with a pencil or eyeliner. For their application, several options for techniques are used, the most common in the 50s:
- It can be a thin line, the same along the entire length, which emphasizes the lash line, while it can slightly go beyond the outline of the eye;
- An arrow that expands at the outer side of the eye and rises up; finally, a thick line along the entire length of the arrow, while it should not extend beyond the eyelids.
- Particular attention was paid to the eyebrows. In the arsenal of makeup artists were eyebrow shadows or a cosmetic pencil. The darkest part of the tone fell on the curved middle, while the beginning of the eyebrow was left translucent. Eyelashes were thick and heavily made up. Then there were overheads.
- For lip makeup, they used dark tones of red hues, in shape they resembled a heart. Lipstick must be matte, without gloss.
- In the image of Hollywood stars in the 50s, it was not customary to apply shadows to the eyes, use glitter, shimmer, and various pearlescent effects in makeup.
Today, such makeup is back in fashion.
Modern style
In the modern world, the classic Hollywood make-up has changed directions. The natural beauty of actresses is appreciated, their makeup is invisible, the effect of a face without makeup is created.
Starting to apply makeup, you need to create an even tone of the face. You can use a sponge or a brush. To decorate the lips, makeup artists use the gloss of delicate tones. A starry smile will also be emphasized by soft lipstick in natural shades. They accentuate the eyes very delicately, while using shadows, excluding dark contrasting tones.
Makeup stars must be sustainable. To do this, when drawing eyes, experienced stylists use a base before applying shadows. It must be colorless so that when mixed, the shadows do not acquire a completely different, unnecessary shade. Application scheme: the upper part of the eyelid is treated with shadows using a beige or sand applicator, then a second sparkling layer is applied. Experienced makeup artists can sometimes use their hands previously treated with antibacterial soap to avoid infection in the eyes.
In modern Hollywood-style makeup, the eyes are visually lengthened from the outside. This allows you to make the applicator apply a small amount of shadows of darker tones: gray, charcoal, jade, chocolate predominate. In this case, great importance is attached to shading, since the boundaries of the shadows should be blurred.
Finally, the arrow is the basis of Hollywood makeup. Any make-up artist can thinly and accurately circle the edge of the eyelid with a sharpened pencil or liner.From the outer edge, the line should be raised up.
This makeup will make any woman a modern Hollywood beauty!
