Delicate makeup

There are clothes for every time of day and every occasion, and the same is true with make-up. For the evening we make a bright make-up, during the day we wear an inconspicuous one. Delicate makeup is a special kind of make-up that can be successfully worn in different situations.

gentle make-upcute make up) is not exactly the same as daylight, although similar shades and techniques are often used. If the daytime make-up should be invisible, then the gentle one still implies some brightness. Gentle makeup is different:

• smooth and radiant skin;
• the predominance of pinkprickly shades of blush and lipstick;
• very lush and curled eyelashes;
• expressive eyes.

Unlike daytime, gentle makeup allows the use of fairly bright eyeliner (meaning liquid) and lip gloss. The general idea is to become a bit like a doll, having designed the face in the appropriate colors. Pink shades, peach, lilac, beige palettes, golden shades with a shimmer are used. The main thing is that the palette matches your type of appearance.

Of course, it requires appropriate design in clothing.

• The ideal companion for such a make-up is undoubtedly a dress. Depending on the situation, it can be a babydoll-type cocktail dress, light summer, romantic flowing and long, basic knitted.
• Suitable for this makeup and skirt - long or medium length, lush or tight-fitting, as an option - from tulle. Of the trouser options, a non-business two-piece suit in powdery colors, a flowing jumpsuit, is suitable.

• Hairstyle - based on curls or in retro styleo (bunches, bouffants). Perfectly smoothed and shiny hair can be left as it is.
• The image is well complemented by shoes with heels or ballet flats.. In other words, everything that is most romantic, feminine and doll-like will look best with delicate makeup.
• Be sure to consider your scent. The theme will be floral and sweet smells based on vanilla or caramel. The main thing is that the smell should not be heavy.

Gentle doll makeup can be divided into two types:

• Day.
• Evening.

They will differ in the saturation of colors, the amount of shine, the general mood.

• In daytime version so you can put on makeup for a walk with your loved one, a trip with girlfriends to a cafe, daytime events, photoshoots on the street or in a bright studio. This is a good option for brides and their bridesmaids at the wedding.
• Evening option can be done by going to a club, to an evening movie session or dinner at a restaurant.

Any make-up must be selected based on your color type.Since the main focus in this form is on the eyes, it means that the whole choice of colors and shades will concern the eyes. Otherwise, girls of all color types should follow the same recommendations:

• You need to fix your skin. To do this, you need a suitable foundation (as an option - BB or CC cream), concealer.
• In order to prevent the appearance of a completely “non-puppet” oily sheen, you need setting powder.
• To achieve the effect of radiance and sculpting bronzers and highlighters are sure to come in handy. For swarthy skin and dark hair - golden hues, for fair-haired fair-skinned girls - pink and peach. Shade like "champagne" will be universal.
• Lipstick is better to choose in shade, as close to natural color as possible. Gentle make-up does not imply too bright lips. The task is to make them plump and seductive, so makeup artists usually pick up a natural shade of matte lipstick and “enliven” it with a drop of transparent gloss in the center of the lips.

• Owners of brown eyes most often have a warm appearance - swarthy or golden skin, dark blond hair with a redhead. Accordingly, warm shades in natural natural colors will look best on the eyes. For a gentle make-up, brown eyes can pick up shades of golden, red tones. Of the greens, deep turquoise, coniferous are suitable. From blue shades, you need to choose colors with a warm undertone - blackberry, blue-violet, plum.Of the red and pink, salmon, apricot will look the most advantageous. Plain black and white colors should be avoided. If you want to add just such shades to your makeup, it is better to prefer deep chocolate and the color of baked milk.

• Blue-eyed girls can be very different - fair-haired or dark-haired. Accordingly, the make-up will be different. For fair-haired girls, shades of lavender, pink, silver colors are best suited. Owners of blue eyes and dark hair can use more dramatic shades: dark blue, purple, golden. Brunettes with blue eyes definitely do not go pink (they create the feeling of inflamed eyes) and all shades of green.

• Grey eyes usually have splashes of blue or green. From this it is worth starting when choosing shadows. For gentle makeup, you need to enhance the shade that gray eyes carry. Gray-blue eyes will look brighter if they are shaded with light sky blue, silver. You can try to make makeup in a dark blue or grayish color, but you need to remember that gray shadows should not be in tone with the eyes. They should be a little darker or lighter - depending on what effect you want to achieve.

• Gray-green eyes look more expressive with terracotta shadows, you can try white and yellow options. Monochrome shadows - for example, black, gray-eyed do not go. That is why makeup artists consider gray eyes not suitable for smoky eyes, for example. By themselves, such eyes are not bright, so they need to be highlighted with colored shadows with smooth color transitions.

• Green eyes considered the most rare and very beautiful.Makeup for them must be selected very carefully - as a rule, the appearance of green-eyed girls is rather difficult. Green shades of shadows are usually not in demand, but in this case this is what you need. You can safely use all shades - from delicate mint to emerald.

Golden and copper shadows with a delicate sheen emphasize the warmth of green eyes very favorably. Of the pink ones, quite bright, almost doll-like, will do. A rather cute and light image is obtained by green eyes with peach shadows.

Several options from professional makeup artists for inspiration.

• Brown eyes very often decorated with purple hues. It turns out a very mysterious and at the same time gentle image. In this example, rather light brown eyes (which most likely look rather faded without makeup) are decorated with a lilac-purple eyeshadow palette. The lightest shade is on the inner corner of the eye, to the outer there is a transition to the dark. The fold of the eyelid is underlined with a gray-lilac color. A golden hue is visible along the lower eyelid. The lash line is accentuated with chocolate eyeliner.

You can try a combination of white shadows (they will emphasize the whites of the eyes) and brick brown shades. In this example, white (or rather, baked milk-colored shadows) highlights the moving eyelid, and shades of brown and gold are applied in the crease and above. The lash line is lined with brown eyeliner. This makeup is reminiscent of the heroines of Japanese anime.

• A good example of cute make-up - for blue eyes. A shimmery taupe eyeshadow fades to a darker shade, and the crease is accentuated with golden pink. The area under the eyebrow and the inner corner of the eye are highlighted with pearl white.The lower eyelid is emphasized with thin lines of gray, golden, and the line of the inner eyelid along the bottom is highlighted in white - this gives tenderness and clarity to the look.

• Grey eyes are highlighted with beige and light brown shades, and the outer corner is emphasized with dark smoky gray. Instead of eyeliner, it is applied to the lower eyelid - this way the eyes look softer.
• Green eyes decorated in beige and brown, which fades into a warm rust color closer to the crease. The outer corner of the eye is emphasized with gray, which also forms the lower eyelid.

Good makeup is done slowly and step by step:

• First you need to clean and prepare the skin well. Wash yourself with the means that suit you. Then you need to apply a daytime moisturizer, which is suitable as a base for make-up. The main requirements for it: it should be light, quickly absorbed, leave no greasy marks and keep the face moisturized throughout the day.
• Apply a primer or other make-up base. Usually it is applied with a special brush in stages: first on the T-zone, then on the cheeks. A primer will even out your complexion and make it easier to apply foundation. This is an optional but highly recommended step.
• Apply concealer under the eyes, if needed. It is applied in dots to the lower and upper eyelids and then driven into the skin with fingertips.

• Apply foundation. Depending on how dense it is, you can apply it with a sponge, damp sponge, brush or fingers.The product is applied to the face and shaded so that it evenly covers the skin. Pay attention to the area under the eyes, the wings of the nose, the corners of the lips - there the product sometimes gathers in folds. The borders at the hairline and at the neckline should not be visible.
• Tidy up your eyebrows - tint them with a pencil or shadows, shape with wax.
• Now you can start eye makeup. It is advisable to apply a primer under the shadows on the upper eyelid - it will help the shadows look brighter, and they will last longer.

• Then applied main shade.

The main shade (usually medium in warmth and saturation) is applied to the eyelid completely.

• Then you can outline the lash line the darkest of your shades or line your eyes with eyeliner - liquid or felt-tip pen type.

• Then shades are applied to the outer corner of the eye and into the crease of the eyelid.. Most often these are darker shades from the selected palette. The darker the outer corner, the stronger the emphasis on the eyes will become, they will take on a soft “cat” look. Bright iridescent shades with a shimmer can be applied a little above the crease, as if outlining its transition to the eyebrow. The lightest shade from the palette should be applied to the inner corner of the eye and under the eyebrow. Whatever ideas you have during your makeup, remember that the most important thing is to ensure a smooth transition between shades. To do this, you need to use a good brush with natural bristles.

• The shade of the eyeliner is usually chosen according to the color of the shadows. - black looks too radical for cute make up. Chocolate, gray, blue, silver - these are the colors that you need to pay attention to.

• Next, the eyelashes are stained. Ideally, they should be “doll-like” - therefore, we take voluminous mascara with a separating and twisting effect. You can also use an eyelash curler.
• Lips, as already mentioned above, in this makeup usually do not stand out. On them you need to apply a soft, close to natural color lipstick and emphasize the center with a drop of gloss.
• Final step - highlighterwhich will give the skin a glow. Apply it with a brush or fingers to the tops of the cheekbones, the back of the nose, the dimple on the chin, the middle of the forehead.

Delicate makeup is ready. Since it still involves a lot of work, experts recommend using a make-up fixative spray at the end, which will help preserve beauty for a long time.
