Indian makeup
Beautiful Indian makeup is not suitable for all girls. At the same time, properly selected stylistic accents allow you to make your appearance better and focus on beautiful facial features. You will learn about all the intricacies of oriental beauty from this article.
Peculiarities
Make-up in Indian style is suitable for everyday wear, and for some special occasions. It all depends on what stylistic accents and tones you take as a basis. Perhaps the most noticeable feature of Indian-style makeup is that it emphasizes both lips and spectacular eyes at the same time. So, so that everything does not look vulgar and ugly, you need to carefully consider the color palette in which all the shades will be combined with each other and play with new tones.
Another important point is that the skin must be carefully prepared for such makeup.. Indian women have flawless skin. So, to make your makeup look like a real oriental, carefully prepare your face by applying foundation and tone to it. Against the background of a swarthy face, saturated colors look much better. If by nature you are very light-skinned, then you can choose a tone a few shades darker or use a bronzer.
Bright Indian makeup is more suitable for girls with fairly tanned skin.
How to do?
If you want to get a make-up like a real Indian, just follow the instructions by doing all points step by step.
- First of all, cleanse the skin with a tonic or milk. Then, to make the foundation lay better on the skin, moisturize the skin with a simple cream. Correct all imperfections and redness on the face with concealer and foundation. If desired, you can make the skin darker, or contour the face with a bronzer and highlighter.
- Next, you need to shape the eyebrows. In Indian women, they are usually quite thick and dark, so they need to be summed up with shadows or a pencil. Draw the hairs, blend the strokes and fix everything to make the eyebrows look more natural. This way you will make your eyebrows natural, but at the same time close to the ideal of oriental beauty.
- Emphasis on the eyes you can do with the help of shadows. To make the eyes big and beautiful, emphasize them with light shadows. You can take light brown, beige or another delicate shade. Blend them all over the eyelid.
- Then, using a more saturated tone, draw the crease of the eyelid and draw a neat arrow. It should not be too clear, because in the future you will still work on it. Indian women always emphasize their eyes with antimony or simple black eyeliner. Bring the lash line and draw a neat graphic arrow beyond the outer corner of the eye. The tail should not be particularly long - the main thing is that it visually opens the eyes and makes the look more sexy. Next, emphasize the eyes with a layer of black ink. This will help make the eyes more expressive.
- Correct the shape of the face and you can emphasize your positive aspects with the help of a highlighter and light blush. This will make you look healthier and more well-groomed.
- The final stage of Indian makeup - lips. In Indian women, they are slightly swollen and very beautiful. To make them so, use a contour pencil and bright lipstick. The contour helps to make the lips visually more voluminous, and bright lipstick will add sexuality.
Subtleties
The steps listed above will help you create a basic makeup. Now let's look at other subtleties. To make your makeup look advantageous, choose products that suit your color type. So, for example, if you have rather dark skin, the selected shadows can be presented in shades of green, gold or brown. Feel free to use terracotta, peach or light golden shadows.
Girls with fair skin are better suited for lighter tones - blue, pale lilac or silver.. This allows you to make the image more harmonious and beautiful. It is also desirable that the shadows have a more pearlescent texture. Fair-skinned girls will also suit lighter lipstick. Choose a light sheen with mother-of-pearl tints.
Another important subtlety, which determines how successful your image will be – bindi. This is the same point on the forehead that Indian women draw with paints, or simply stick on. As a rule, the point in the central part of the face is drawn with red or black paint. Initially, only married women made such a detail in their image. This ritual became inaccessible to young girls. To date, traditions have begun to pay less attention even in the East.And in our country, the image of an Indian woman is inextricably associated with a girl with makeup, complemented by scarlet, dark brown or even black bindi.
In your makeup you can make a classic dot or use special stickers in the form of a crescent, an oval, or even overhead pebbles. There are a lot of ready-made jewelry, and you can really choose the right option for any look. Makeup artists advise you to choose a bindi not only for your outfit, but also for the features of your appearance. So, for example, for young ladies with big eyes, classic large round dots are more suitable. And if your eyes are small, then you should choose a smaller bindi so as not to make your appearance worse. Also, the choice of bindi may depend on the width of the forehead. The narrower it is, the more oval and elongated the point should be. You can even use an inverted moon or triangle.
And finally, it’s worth talking about the emphasis on the lips. To make them more sensual, pick up scarlet lipstick. It will be easier to apply the product with a brush than in the classical way. Apply a light base first, and then work on the edges of the lips with scarlet or carmine lipstick. To plump up your lips, use a glossy lipstick with a pearly undertone. In general, radiance is welcome in Indian makeup. Lips should be at the same time very beautiful, but at the same time natural. For this reason, makeup artists do not recommend using red or wine lipstick to work out the contour of the lips. The edges, ideally, should be lighter, then the lips will look sexy and attractive.
For an Indian make-up, makeup artists advise pairing red lipstick with a more neutral one.
Who will suit?
For many of us, India is still one of the most mysterious countries. Bright and luxurious images are used to create images of actresses and dancers. Spectacular make-up for dance will allow you to attract maximum attention even while moving. Choose it according to the features of your appearance, and you will definitely look as impressive and bright as possible. However, despite the fact that Indian makeup is very bright, it can be safely used even in your everyday looks. Especially if you have a bright style, for example, boho. In combination with catchy bright skirts, this oriental rich make-up will look very good.
