Makeup under the "mint" dress

Tropical colors come into fashion every summer, so every girl most likely has a “mint” dress. This is a gentle, very girlish color. It is often bought for graduation or the wedding of girlfriends, which take place in the summer season. Dresses of this shade adorn any - blonde, brunette, red-haired ... Despite the fact that the dress itself can be very versatile, makeup for it is far from suitable for everyone. What colors and styles will create a single ensemble - read on.

To begin with, let's decide on a light daytime make-up under the "mint" dress.

If you put on an outfit during the day, most likely it will be a light cocktail dress or more business attire, but not evening at all, which means that makeup can be quite light and unobtrusive.

• Eternal classic. In fact, makeup like black winged eyeliner, an even complexion, well defined brows, a bit of blush and bright lipstick is an option that exists outside of time and outfits. The only way you can correct the image, adapting it to the color of the dress is the tone of the lipstick. Try to add a bit of "doll" to the image and make lips pink, like Barbie. For a daytime option, it is quite acceptable. You can make a slightly paler color, similar to cotton candy. If you are a person who is not so airy, not too bright burgundy-brown lipstick will also be relevant, you will get a sort of office style.

• "Hot-cold." Depending on whether your dress has a warm or cool shade, you can choose gold or silver shadows for a light daytime “smoky eyes”. If the tone of the clothes goes more into blue, silvery cool notes in makeup will emphasize the integrity of the image. If the colors have a warmer range, a golden or bronze hue is more suitable.

• Minimalism. If you have good skin without acne, age spots and other not very pleasant errors, you can afford a minimum of cosmetics.

Add some even tone with a primer, very light powder or BB cream. After dotted blush, paint your eyelashes with black or brown mascara, and apply a little lip gloss for the final touch and you can consider your look complete.

• Choose a tricolor. Another common makeup application technique is the use of three colors. Here are some successful combinations with a white base color that you can take into service:

  • White - nude - brown;

  • White - dusty pink - silver or gold;

  • White - orange-yellow - grey;

  • White - blue - the color of the sea wave;

  • White - pale purple - purple;

  • White - pink - faded raspberry;

  • White - pinkish - coral;

  • White - beige - coral.

If we exclude the white color, but take into account that the area in the corner of the eye closer to the nose in all cases will be slightly clarified by the highlighter, then we can come up with something more interesting. For example:

• Light blue - lemon - blue;

• Pale blue - delicate light green - purple;

• Beige - mint - coral;

• Mint - gold - bronze;

• Beige - gold - dark blue;

• Beige - metallic - black.

You can fantasize even more options, the main thing in this technique is to act step by step and shade the transitions well so that they are as smooth as possible and you get an ombre effect.

These moments concerned makeup on the eyes, but that's not all, let's look at the lips. You will always win if you apply matte nude shades. They are universal, they will help to connect the eye makeup and the tone of the dress with a single thread, and at the same time, with their help, it is easy to achieve the effect of lip augmentation.

Transparent gloss or small sparkles to match the natural color of the lips will also be appropriate. If you want to add accents and make your lips more visible, then the main thing is to choose cold tones for cold ones, and warm ones for warm ones. Otherwise, there are no strict restrictions.

When the daytime look has developed, you can proceed to the analysis of the evening makeup.

The afternoon look has the right to be more solemn, complex and weighty in terms of layering makeup and color saturation. An excess of natural light forces us to draw shadows and highlights with great diligence so that the picture develops into a full-fledged image. What can be done:

• The classic remains. We recall the first version of daytime makeup. All you need to make this look evening is to add a little highlighter to the area under the eyebrow, in the corner of the eye, on the cheekbones and change the color of the lipstick to a more juicy one. Cherry, deep wine shade, burgundy, scarlet like blood or thick like beets will be combined very beautifully with mint color. Do not forget about the rules of "hot" and "cold" and everything will be fine.

• Favorite "smoky eyes". Probably, this technique could be put in the first place, pushing the classics, because you will agree that, basically, all evening makeup is created on its basis.

Traditional black can be matte, devoid of any shine. He will look especially beautiful with blue eyes. You can use shimmery colors, they are universal. Also try to dilute the black with large sequins or rhinestones glued on with eyelash glue.

In addition to such a gloomy variation, take the risk of doing makeup in brown tones. Chocolate shades look more natural, but at the same time they also highlight and emphasize the look. Plum red makeup can also be appropriate, because the game of contrasts is always interesting.

• Banana and mint. No, we're not talking about a cocktail. If you didn’t know, there is a technique for applying eye makeup called “Banana”. At the base is a very interesting arrow shape. It can be drawn in black or brown, and the fill colors are entirely up to you. You can add metallic notes or matte, close to the complexion. This technique opens up a huge field for your imagination and experimentation.

• Greek makeup. His technique is reminiscent of “smoky eyes”, but at the same time, the tone of the shadows framing the eyes should be many times lighter, but the eyeliner along the upper and lower row of eyelashes, on the contrary, should stand out brightly.

Very often, mint-colored dresses are made precisely in the form of an ancient Greek tunic. Soft folds, flowing hem, drapery, like on antique statues... With such a style, Greek makeup will look especially appropriate.Complement the image with delicate large curls and no one will distinguish you from a real goddess.

• Bunches. If your dress is puffy, for example, his skirt is made of multi-layered mesh, it also does not hurt to reproduce the effect of something airy and light in makeup.

In this case, the shadows can be neglected or an even matte color can be given. But the eyelashes can be arranged in an interesting way.

For the top row, a classic, not too thick and long pair of false eyelashes is quite suitable, and the lower part can be decorated with bunches. Do not fasten them tightly, leave small gaps. There is something theatrical in this image, even a clown, but evening events are not always held in philharmonic societies with classical music and champagne. Sometimes it can be a friendly meeting in a bar or club, where a light joke will be perceived quite adequately.

Lipstick in this image will be assigned a secondary role. She should not be invisible, but she should not draw all the attention to herself either. Choose colorful, but not too saturated colors and the image will be complete.

The last thing to say is that the success of your makeup and overall appearance will always depend on advance preparation, and it starts with healthy sleep and good nutrition. It is impossible to strike on the spot with bags under the eyes and red veins in the cataracts.

In summer, when you want to wear bright colors like mint as often as possible, you should definitely have a minute for yourself. Just to take a break, to understand that life is beautiful and to smile at yourself.

Remember that it is not the dress and not even cosmetics that make the girl beautiful, but vice versa!
