Festive makeup

When a reason for a holiday appears in a series of gray everyday life, it always cheers you up and makes you think about how best to celebrate this beautiful day. Of course, both men and women want to look as solemn and elegant as possible. To do this, there are evening and cocktail dresses, as well as tuxedos and formal suits. However, girls can boast of another way of self-decoration - the ability to make a bright festive make-up.

Let's see what is the difference between holiday makeup and everyday makeup.

1. Firstly, of course, the daytime "make-up" is much less bright and intense. As a rule, it consists in simply emphasizing the dignity of the face with the help of nude shadows, tone, mascara and lip gloss or lipstick. Evening make-up requires more brightness and details.
2. Secondly, these procedures differ in the time required for application. Day makeup can be applied in 10-15 minutes, while a more complex festive one takes half an hour or more.
3. Another important difference is the presence of decorative details, such as false eyelashes, sequins, complex patterns on the eyelids.During the day, such delights will look at least strange and vulgar, while in the evening they will perfectly emphasize your beauty.

Every event, whether it's a birthday, New Year's Eve or a corporate party, requires a certain make-up. Depending on the chosen image and palette of shades, solemn makeup is divided into several types:

• Classical. Restrained and feminine, it is perfect for a photoshoot, going to a cafe on a date, or attending a theater or concert. Its hallmark is neatness and flawlessness, sustained in tones that are slightly more intense than your usual makeup. It is very important to emphasize all the advantages of the face, but do not overdo it;
• Club. Of all the types of “weekend make-up”, this one is the brightest and most daring. Since twilight usually reigns in nightclubs, it should be noticeable and eye-catching. You can "play" with artificial cilia, sequins, body art;

• Worker. Surprised? But now we are not talking about the make-up that you put on every day when visiting the workplace - we mean the option when immediately after work you have to attend an event, and you simply do not physically have time to change the image. Or if your working day starts in the afternoon and involves communication with people. This makeup is a cross between classic holiday and everyday nude, it should be noticeable, but not vulgar;
• Light. Some girls do not like makeup, preferring to always look as natural as possible. But even they sometimes need to embellish themselves a little to celebrate an event.In this case, an easy version of the solemn make-up will help out. Its difference from everyday use is the use of decorative products with a shimmering effect, whether we are talking about lips or a highlighter for the cheekbones;
• Professional. A special day, such as a wedding, anniversary or celebration in the presence of a large number of officials, requires a professional make-up by a certified makeup stylist who will help you think through the whole look. In this case, you simply have to look harmonious and flawless.

Evening "make-up" gives every girl the opportunity to experiment with shades and details. However, when performing it, you must adhere to several rules:

• The resonance of the overall bow and makeup is very important. You should not use too dark tones and sharp lines, coupled with a wedding dress, just as too delicate make-up will not work with an evening dress with sequins and rhinestones;
• Place accents correctly - choose either eyes or lips. A face overloaded with cosmetics looks grotesque;
• Focus on even out skin tone. Use a long-lasting make-up base, apply foundation that matches your skin tone, and remove shine with powder;
• Shape your face with concealer and highlighter. You can use suitable blush;
• Dark shadows, voluminous mascara and carefully drawn eyebrows will help to give expressiveness to the eyes;
• If you decide to focus on the lips, apply a dense lipstick in a rich color. To achieve the effect of volume, apply lip gloss on top.

Here we are forced to make a reservation: you need to carefully select a palette not only to perform an evening make-up option - you must have such a palette for every day. Its color depends on your color type, which can be determined by passing the appropriate test. So, girls whose appearance is dominated by cold shades should also choose “cold” cosmetics. And vice versa: warm skin tone suggests the presence of a “warm” palette to create an image.

It is not always possible and desirable to use the services of a professional makeup artist. You need to learn how to make a beautiful holiday make-up with your own hands at home, then even an unexpected invitation to a party will not cause you to panic. Below are all the steps for applying makeup step by step. Try, following our scheme, to make up yourself, and you will definitely succeed:

• We even out the tone and “make” the eyebrows. Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply your regular moisturizer. Wait until it is absorbed, and gently spread the tinting base with a brush. Correct the oval of the face with a concealer. Apply powder on top.
• Emphasize the shape of the eyebrows. Depending on the color of the hairs, use a black, gray or brown pencil or special shadows or mascara.

• Eye makeup. Depending on the chosen image, choose an evening range of shades of shadows that you apply to your eyes. The closer you move to the outer corner of the eye, the darker the shade should be. Use a volumizing or lengthening mascara to define your lashes. To create a more spectacular look, you can use overlays. Arrows are suitable for lovers of "cat's eyes".
• Lip makeup. Do not forget the rule: bright eyes - nude lips and vice versa. Therefore, we choose lipstick either in a neutral color or richly bright.
• We put on blush. Emphasize the protrusions on the cheekbones with blush. Their tone should be in harmony with the shade of powder and tint, but be a little darker.

If the celebration takes place outside your home, you should be able to adjust your "make-up". For these purposes, take with you:

• A palette of shadows with which you painted your eyes;
• Cotton buds;
• A bottle of thermal water to refresh a tired face;
• A small sharp object such as a toothpick to remove excess mascara from the cilia;
• compact powder;
• Lip gloss or lipstick;
• Highlighter.

When performing a festive evening make-up, take one of the modern life hacks into service. Here's what fashionistas choose:

• Shadows "metallic" gold. Great option for a party at the club. Your eyes will not go unnoticed. Combine these shadows with nude lipstick or gloss;
• "smokey eyes"- a classic that does not go out of fashion. Any girl, regardless of the cut, color and shape of the eyes, can effectively emphasize them if she applies shadows, shading them along the contour. The color of the shadows can be either from black and white, or any other, chosen by you;

• «kitty". We are talking about arrows. Draw them on the upper eyelids with a pencil or eyeliner, slightly lift the tip at the outer corner of the eye - and you will get a mysterious "cat" look;
• Bold color combination. Modern fashion allows almost anything. Therefore, if it fits into your image, make up your eyes with unusual shadows, for example, orange or pink.The main thing here is to choose the right combination of colors. Lips in this case are best left neutral.
