catwalk makeup

The fashion industry is a whole mysterious world. Representatives of many creative professions, such as photographers, make-up artists, fashion designers, hairdressers, stylists, designers, are specialists who create masterpieces in their work.

Makeup in Fashion style is an important part of the world of haute couture. A podium make-up is necessary when creating an image of a collection, it often goes beyond the usual, it is unusual, futuristic, reflects both modern and future fashion trends.

Initially, the purpose of makeup was not to distract the viewer from the designer collection during the show. The models and their faces served as a backdrop, a white sheet, with the focus on outfits and accessories.

For the first time these unwritten rules were violated by an English couturier John Galliano. At the shows of his author's collection, everyone saw how a runway make-up can be an important element of a colorful show, part of an image that works for a design idea.

At fashion shows, models must look perfect. The main way to hide all the flaws in the skin of the face, making the girl flawless, is a professional make-up. An experienced make-up artist works with each model for a very short period of time allotted to him during the show. The organizers count everything by the minute, some models change outfits several times during the whole show.

Therefore, catwalk makeup is very practical and resistant to high temperatures and mechanical stress. After all, the work of models is many hours of demonstrations, numerous dressing up, bright light, hundreds of flashes are directed at them.

At the same time, it must be bright so that it can be seen by the spectators of the extreme rows, photographers.

Makeup for the podium is performed using the technique of stage make-up. When creating an image, professional makeup artists must take into account the laws of photography, the effects of optics, since such makeup is intended for the stage, photo shoots and video filming.

Step number one when applying make-up for shows is an even, smooth tone. It is the backdrop against which the make-up artist creates a new fantasy look for the collection. The required qualities in a tonal basis are durability, reliability and practicality. The skin of the face of the model must be matte. Even after a long time, smudges, oily sheen, and rolling of the cosmetic product are unacceptable. Make-up foundation is applied with a sponge, which allows you to remove excess moisture contained in cosmetics from the skin. Professional powder will help to fix the tone. Traditionally, it is applied to the face, neck and décolleté.

The eyes are the most expressive part of a model's face. Depending on the creative task and the idea of ​​the collection, make-up artists use various decorative cosmetics, different techniques. Use eye shadow in bright colors, there may be large arrows around the eyes - black or contrasting colors.

When making lips make-up artists use lipstick in bright colors - ruby, plum, burgundy, as well as classic red.

Depending on the image, the lips can be decorated with sparkles and rhinestones. A clear contour is achieved using a pencil to match the lipstick. Sometimes powder is applied over lipstick, which makes the lips velvety.

Eyebrows are of great importance. Masters achieve a natural shade that matches the hair color of the model as much as possible. Correction of the shape of the eyebrows is required in accordance with fashion trends. They are given the optimal shape in width and density. The eyebrows of the model should not be faded.

It is possible to apply a graphic pattern on the face with adhesive tape and a set of brushes.

Makeup for the catwalk is very different from what we are used to, what we face every day.

Salon makeup hides all the flaws on the face and bumps. Fashion style make-up emphasizes a strong personality. Features of appearance emphasize, even exaggerate: the relief surface of the face, too deep-set eyes, too wide lips.

In the salon version, the main thing is the formation of an oval face shape. The fashion industry appreciates the square, so make-up artists specifically emphasize the protrusions of the jaw with the help of makeup.

Makeup for the catwalk is noticeably different from everyday. It is brighter, more convex, various effects are used to create it.

Depending on the mood of the collection, the idea of ​​the designer, make-up masters use different types of podium looks for make-up.

A natural look is very valuable, as well as a clean, almost imperceptible on the face effect of no makeup. Lipstick - only flesh shades.

In creating an avant-garde look, shadows and lipstick in unusual contrasting tones are used. An example is black gothic makeup.

Glamorous look. Its name speaks for itself. Bright colors of decorative cosmetics traditionally highlight the eyes and lips.

Makeup artists in their work on creating an image must follow the rules of makeup. The makeup artist never forgets about trends, even when creating a retro look.

Sometimes, in order to implement an original idea, one must sacrifice natural beauty: make lips thicker, eyebrows wider, give an aggressive look, over-emphasize the cheekbones. Together, a masterpiece emerges that delights with its unreality.

• Red lips. Accentuate lips with a classic red lipstick. They can be so with neutral makeup, as well as with other bright accents. These are, for example, dark hair, thick eyebrows, heavily lined eyes - a trend in the style of the eighties.
• Gothic. Fashion designers welcome gothic looks this season. Black lips or as close to black as possible, the color of a ripe plum. The eyes of the gothic catwalk style are made out of unusual lines with discolored eyebrows.

• Graphic black eyes. The trend is smoky shadows, curved contrasting lines, all shades of black.
