It is important for every girl to look attractive and beautiful. One of the tools of a delightful appearance is makeup.

Color selection

To choose the right shade of shadows, consider which of them are suitable, for example, for brown-eyed, blue-eyed or green-eyed women.


Step-by-step instruction

For example, take a combination of purple and brown shadows. You can choose colors according to your taste. It can be peach / turquoise, deep blue / silver.

In addition to the main colors, neutral shadows will also be required. In this case, it's soft pink. In addition, you will also definitely need black eyeliner, mascara, makeup base, blush and lipstick of the desired shade.

Step 1

Apply a moisturizer to your face, including your eyelids. Then, using a corrective pencil, lightly cover skin imperfections (rash, areas under the eyes, redness, etc.). After that, lightly apply foundation. Lightly powder the entire face so that the decorative cosmetics lay down evenly. At the same stage, make a beautiful line of eyebrows.

Step 2

Use a pencil to form a line of arrows. This will serve as an excellent base for subsequent eye makeup. Then apply purple shadow on the upper and lower part of the eyelid, focusing on the edge of the eye. Blend lightly.

Step 3

Do not forget that you can always adjust the color of the shadows with lighter analogues. For this, we chose soft pink. Apply it around the perimeter of the purple layer and create a soft transition.


Do not try to make a perfect contour the first time, it is better to gradually apply shadows in several layers. This way you can achieve a smoother contour and, subsequently, it will also be much easier for you to repeat the drawing on the second eye.

Step 4

When the main colors are done, use light shimmery shadows to emphasize the line of the eyebrows and visually lift them. To do this, apply shadow on the free edge of the eyebrow. Make sure that it does not contrast too much, but still fulfills its visual function.

Step 5

It's time to apply the eyeliner with a smooth but confident movement. Its thickness or length should be chosen according to the shape of the eyelids. In addition, it would not be appropriate to make too rich, wide eyeliner if you are doing everyday makeup. There will definitely be no frills here.


Step 6

Next, you need to apply mascara to your eyelashes. The success of this process largely depends on the quality of the carcass itself. To apply mascara as successfully as possible, also use auxiliary tools - brushes and eyelash curlers.


Step 7

Makeup can be called successful if it can be used to emphasize all the advantages of the face - to make the eyes more expressive, create a good foundation and, of course, correct some imperfections. For example, with the help of blush, you can successfully emphasize the line of the cheekbones.

Step 8

Festive make-up differs from everyday make-up primarily by unusualness and aggressiveness. You can get a chic result only if there is an artistic taste and a sense of proportion. Otherwise, it will turn out vulgar and vulgar. Let's figure out what should be a festive evening makeup for a particular occasion.

How to make a chic evening makeup for a wedding (with photo)

Of course, we are not talking about competing with the newlywed, but taking second place in a beauty contest is not bad at all! Especially if the witness from the side of the groom is also very personal. Create a romantic halo around you with flirtatious chic makeup created with simple cosmetics. Bet on cream-based cosmetics that give the impression that the skin is radiant from the inside, before it lays down so well.

For a chic makeup look, grab a silky glowing foundation, then apply cream blush to your cheekbones in a circular motion. What colour? Raspberry if you have porcelain skin, blackcurrant if you have dark skin, or coral, a universal color that suits everyone.

Gently apply a slightly iridescent cream eyeshadow to your eyelids. Go for softer tones like pale pink, pearl grey, champagne or light brown to go with any outfit!

For a registry office or a church, more than this chic evening make-up is not required. Before the party, take out an eyebrow pencil to accentuate the look. Lips still remain dull, add only a drop of liquid gloss in soft pink, muted pink, peach or apricot. Keep it handy to touch up your lips after dinner.

Check out this chic makeup photo, which illustrates all the steps described above to create it:

Date makeup

Curb the heat that rises to your cheeks with a light layer of Foundation Cream Powder. With a little powder, you can manage stress and sebum. But don't be afraid to mimic the "oh, I just put on makeup" effect by placing a zesty pink blush horizontally along the cheekbones and blending it down.

A lot of makeup for a date depends on the eyes: grabbing a little nail polish with an eyebrow brush (an old toothbrush will do), point the eyelashes up, and then in the direction of growth. Apply a slightly smoky shadow (gray, brown, mouse-colored) to the mobile eyelid and work with mascara, especially in the outer corner, to make the eyes appear larger and the look become open.

The secret of lips that provoke a kiss? A lip balm mixed with a drop of red lipstick to plump up the lips and give them a more natural look. We bet you'll see each other again?

See how this festive makeup is created: step-by-step photos will help you prepare for even the most exciting date:

Chic holiday eye makeup (with photo)

Glitter doesn't always make you look like a spinning ball of glitter. At the end of the day, shocking details turn into chic, provided that they are perfectly dosed. The following five steps will make you the queen of the dance floor:

  1. We study the rules of craftsmanship. Good old sayings are always the wisest. With regard to makeup, they say: "Eyes or lips." The same applies to glitter. If you opt for a sparkling chic eye makeup, indulge in a mirrored lip gloss. If your lips are shiny, muffle your eyes. As for the complexion, regardless of the chosen foundation, it should be radiant!
  2. Demonstrate a luminous complexion. Squeeze out a ball of foundation cream-powder with a silky structure, warm it with your fingers and spread it over the T-zone (nose, forehead and chin) towards the periphery. Then take the porthole, better known as the "magic wand", and apply a few strokes to the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and brow ridges. With what is left on the fingers, lightly blot the bulge of the forehead and chin. So, you have a “glowing” complexion, as they say in Hollywood! The last, and rather important, touch: to make the expression more friendly, add a little bit of blush (apricot or raspberry) in a straight line from the ear to the cheekbones, and then blend the color down, creating the impression that your skin radiates it.
  3. Choose shimmery shadows. Instead of crumbly sequins for eyelids in a festive eye makeup, it is better to give preference to shadows that already include sparkles. They never crumble from the eyes and do not fall on the cheeks. The color of the eyeshadow depends on your taste, but it is better to choose a neutral shade (from beige to black, not to mention mousey, brown, navy blue and gray), since the glitters are self-sufficient. But as for the sparkles themselves, the more diverse they are (golden, bronze, silver), the higher your chances of catching the light! Dip your finger into loose powder before applying eye shadow. This simple trick will allow you to capture more sparkles. Apply glitter in a circular motion to the entire moving eyelid, trying not to come close to the brow ridges. Let us finally be restrained! Accentuate the roots of your lashes with a black brow pencil to keep your eye from swimming in a sparkling ocean. Finish off by applying a few coats of volumizing mascara to your lashes. Despite all the precautions, did a cloud of glitter get on your cheeks? Dip a large brush into loose powder and, without ceremony, remove them.
  4. Beautiful mouth and white teeth? It is better to decorate the lips. Do you have glitter glitter? Go over your lips several times, depending on how shiny you want them to be. You can even apply your favorite glitter as a base and add loose glitter on top with your fingers, which will immediately stick. For the eyes, silky skin-colored shadows and jet-black mascara are enough.

To make glowing makeup a success, you need:

  • Think glitter mascara: perfect for classic chic makeup, but don't get carried away.
  • Choose metals that have darkened over time: slightly faded yellow gold, slightly darkened copper or blackened silver.

No need:

  • Combine sparkling makeup with an outfit embellished with rhinestones and feathers.
  • Choosing a glitter lipstick paired with a pearly sheen is too much. It is better to think about a transparent, and therefore more discreet shine.

With false eyelashes that no one will know about, your look becomes stunning. Forget about ready-made false eyelashes-strips, which are visible from a kilometer away, it is better to give preference to mini-bushes (three or four cilia), which can be dosed at will. Cover your natural lashes with black mascara before you do the needlework, as you won't be able to tint them once you've applied the false lashes without damaging them. Take an eyelash bush with tweezers for epilation, lower the base into the glue and attach the bush to the roots of the eyelashes in an outward direction.

Look at the festive eye makeup in the photo, which shows the options for using different types of shadows and eyeliner:

Just three or four bushes in the outer corner of the eye are enough to transform your look! Are you a lazybones lazybones? Go to a makeup artist. In no more than two hours, it will make your natural eyelashes thicker, and the result will last a couple of months!

See how to do evening holiday makeup correctly - the video demonstrates the basic techniques to emphasize the beauty of the eyes and lips:

Evening makeup is different from the usual everyday. Its task is to emphasize facial features and delicately hide imperfections. To create a spectacular evening look, cosmetics with unusual textures are used. In order for the face to look perfect, it is important to choose the right colors and texture of the product, taking into account the lighting features and the nature of the event.

Features of evening makeup: the right choice of cosmetics

To create an evening look, ordinary everyday products are not suitable. Bright artificial light "eats" paint, the usual foundation, pencils and shadows will look dull and expressionless. The best choice is cosmetics with a delicate satin texture that emphasizes the healthy glow of the skin. Dense matting textures will not work; in the light of lamps, the face will look as if sprinkled with flour. For very oily skin, you can use a mattifying base, over which a light foundation with a moisturizing effect is applied. Instead of dense compact powders, it is better to use airy loose ones.

When choosing shadows, you should pay attention to creamy and gel products. They are well fixed on the eyelids, do not spread and do not gather in folds. Evening makeup should not require constant correction. A beautiful cut of the eyes can be emphasized with liquid or gel eyeliner, automatic liner or resistant pencil.

In the evening, you should abandon light fruity glosses in favor of rich lipsticks with a velvety or satin texture. Classic involves the use of a contour pencil, it must exactly match the tone of lipstick. A more modern option is to apply lipstick without a pencil, with a brush or fingertips. Such slight negligence is in fashion today, the blurry contour of the lips looks younger, looks fresh and natural.

Makeup for the evening is fundamentally different from the day. Creating a festive look, you can forget about the ban on focusing on the eyes and lips at the same time. It is perfectly acceptable to use dark shadows and rich lipstick. It is not forbidden to add an additional portion of blush on the cheeks. You can actively use large sequins and shimmer. A simple and effective technique is to add dry sparkles to the shadows, powder or foundation.

How to do evening makeup yourself

To create a beautiful festive look, it is not necessary to contact a professional makeup artist. Modern cosmetics are easy to use, they are easy to apply and last all evening. It is important not to apply cosmetics too thickly, bright artificial light will ruthlessly emphasize skin imperfections. Makeup artists apply products in layers, carefully blending them with brushes, sponges and fingertips.

Pledge is the perfect tone. First, a silicone-based leveling base is applied to the face. It smooths out all the irregularities, fills the pores, visually hides fine wrinkles and other imperfections. For pale skin, a mother-of-pearl pink base is suitable, a lavender-colored base will decorate dull and earthy skin, and golden can be applied to tanned skin. Silicone products are quickly absorbed and do not require rubbing. On top of the base, makeup lays down more evenly and lasts all evening.

The next step is to apply foundation. For the evening, a liquid tone with reflective particles is suitable. Under artificial lighting, a cream on a yellowish or light beige base looks better, giving the face a healthy shade. The cream should be applied with a soft sponge or a synthetic flat brush. The area around the eyes and wings of the nose is worked out with a small brush. This technique allows you to hide minor skin imperfections. Makeup is fixed with loose powder, it is more convenient to apply it with a large fluffy brush. Excess powder should be brushed off with a flat brush in the form of a fan.

Mascara and shadows: all about eye makeup

A very important point is eye makeup. For the evening, a beautiful one in black, dark gray, chocolate or rich purple tones is suitable. Shadows must be applied in layers, the darkest tone is superimposed in the outer corner and in the crease of the eyelid. For extra shine, you can add a little loose glitter pigment to dry or cream shadows. It is most convenient to bring your eyes up with an automatic black or dark brown pencil with small sparkles.

Eyelashes are painted with voluminous mascara of rich black, dark purple or coffee color. Before applying mascara, the hairs can be curled with tongs. In evening make-up, overheads are often used. They are attached to the outer corners of the eyes with special glue and plastic tweezers. Sparkling rhinestones can be glued to the corners of the eyes.

You need to finish the makeup session with the design of the lips. In order for cosmetics to last as long as possible and not be washed off during dinner, you need to apply a small portion of foundation on your lips, then color them with lipstick, blot with a napkin and apply another layer of lipstick. For the evening, pure red, burgundy, golden brown shades are suitable. The choice of color depends on the overall range of makeup.

Little tricks: how to turn daytime makeup into evening

Sometimes evening activities start right after work.

If there is no time for a complete change of image, you can try to make a simple evening make-up based on the day one.

The process will not take more than a quarter of an hour, and the result will exceed all expectations.

If foundation was applied to the face in the morning, it is not necessary to wash it off and apply a new foundation. It is enough to gently blot the skin with matting wipes that absorb excess fat. You need at least 3 wipes for the whole face. Particularly careful processing requires the T-zone: nose, chin, forehead. Then you need to spray thermal water from a spray bottle on your face, remove excess drops with a soft paper towel.

Another option for refreshing the face is treating it with a piece of ice. This procedure tightens and tightens the skin, reduces pores, makeup lays down neatly and does not flow. You need to wipe the entire face, the area under the chin, neck and décolleté. After rubbing the skin with ice, excess moisture should be removed with a paper handkerchief or napkin.

The next step is masking problem areas with a concealer. You will need a light translucent yellowish tint. White, pinkish and grayish correctors should be avoided, they are stained and look unnatural. With fingers or a latex sponge, the wings of the nose, the area under the eyes are worked out, traces of pimples and other minor imperfections are removed. The concealer must be thoroughly smeared so that it practically merges with the skin. Make-up can be fixed with loose powder with the smallest golden pigments. It does not give a bright shine, the face will emit a soft healthy glow. A little powder should be applied to the neck and décolleté.

Dark blush is applied to the convex part of the cheeks: fuchsia, reddish, rich coral. The tool is carefully shaded towards the temples. On top, you can add a little golden or pearly pink highlighter. This technique will make the face more embossed.

Smeared shadows can be removed with a clean cotton swab. Then cream shadows of a rich shade are applied to the eyelids and rubbed well with an applicator. A small portion of the shadows should be applied along the growth line of the lower lashes. The edge of the upper eyelid can be emphasized with gel or cream eyeliner. Those who do not know how to draw straight lines will like an interesting novelty: overhead arrows. They stick as close as possible to the upper lash line and look very impressive. Eyelashes need to be painted with rich black mascara with a glossy sheen. The best option for the evening is mascara with the effect of false eyelashes. When applying the brush, you need to move it from the bottom up and slightly obliquely, slightly pressing the hairs with it. This will give the eyelashes a beautiful curve and visually lengthen them.

If your eyes look tired, you can apply a little trick. The inner eyelid is outlined with a light pink mother-of-pearl pencil, and a tiny dot of red lipstick is placed in the outer corner of the eye. The eyes will become brighter, the whites will appear even whiter.

The final touch is applying lipstick. Beautiful evening lip makeup does not require perfect drawing. Slightly blurred outline looks very sexy. A fresh berry or rich burgundy lipstick can be applied with the pad of your finger, lightly tapping it into the skin. A drop of golden gloss is applied to the center of the lips, which will shimmer beautifully under artificial lighting.
