Correct and Show Off Your Ideal Skin
With the art of applying makeup we can retouch and give that extra excellence to the natural beauty. To do this it's important to know how to work with the facial features and the personal style of the person we are about to apply makeup for; otherwise, this great skill will not be utilized to the fullest.
The secret is in seeing individuality and seeing the aspects of the face as a group. First, try every area with what compliments it the most. Then verify this combination with the face and the outfit she will wear.
Healthy skin
In general, for all processes we need a foundation; makeup is no exception. Cosmetics will be of no use to you if you don't have you skin prepared, very healthy and hydrated. Remember that those products are accessories, not miracles.
Apply the right moisturizer for the skin type. The skin under the eyes is extremely delicate. You should apply a moisturizer made specifically for the skin surrounding the eyes.
Foundation
Foundation is used to cover imperfections and create a more even skin tone. In order for foundation to work you must find the right shade for your skin tone. If you will to brighten the skin, it is ideal to us a lighter shade on those areas on the face that reflect light the most. Besides brightening up the face it will help show off the face.
The key in finding the perfect foundation is to not only find the color required, but also the correct tone. At professional makeup companies we found different shades, like pinkish for Nordic skins or yellowish for sallow skin tones. When we want to correct the person's tone we want to use the contrasting color to counteract it. When you find the right foundation, it will almost disappear at the very moment you apply it.
Blush
We can apply blush correcting the shape of the face. If you like we can add a touch of depth a dark color in matte finish to the hollow of the cheeks. The best thing to achieve is have the blush coming up gradually from that dark matte color without any lines.
Foundation
When it comes to eyes, the best way to emphasize the beauty is to use contrasting colors. The idea here is that through the difference between your skin tone and shade of color, you attract attention to your eyes.
Consider these suggestions for color harmony:
Blue eyes: Pinkish tones and browns make your eyes more vibrant.
Green eyes: A shade of violet is excellent for afternoons and evenings.
Brown eyes: Greens and shade of gold accentuate the naturalness of this color.
Lips
When it comes to lips choose a color that goes with your skin. If you have a warm skin tone, opt for a tone of similar color. If you have cool color, something more lighter will be better. If you have any doubts, experiment and observe how each color brings or eliminates beauty from your general looks.
RESOLVING PROBLEMS
If you're faced with a particular aspect of your face that you aren't too happy about, you can disguise or correct it with the help of makeup. Pay close attention to the following solutions to problems in each zone of the face.
Face
Oval-shaped face. Apply a bit of naturally dark shading on the hollows of your cheeks and at your temples. Emphasize the points of light with a lighter shade.
Triangular face. Use deep shades on the chin line and blush on the cheekbones.
Round face. Conceal it by applying blush on the cheeks and more intense shade on the side of the chin and the contours of the face.
Eye Area
Prominent eyelids. Use shades of brown or grey in matte on the areas that reflect light in combination with a lighter shade on the brow bone.
Deep set eyes. Lighten up the eyelids, applying light shade and a bit more mascara to bring forth the eyes.
Small eyes. Apply an abundance of mascara and light and lustrous shades.
Lips
Thick lips. Use a lipliner on the interior part of the lips in a color that's darker than the skin. Use neutral colors.
Thin lips. Line your lips with a lip liner a bit on the outside of the natural lip line. Use shimmery colors.
Uneven lips. Use a lipliner to correct the natural line, avoiding dark lines. Make sure to blend in well.
