Beauty Hacker Of The Week: Runway Makeup Options For Real Life From Alena Lapina

Makeup artist Alena Lapina (@lapinamakeup) told us what kind of ink to use for "spider legs" and how to adapt the runway graphic arrows to everyday makeup.

It may seem to you that at the shows, makeup artists and stylists create images that are not related to real life. But this is absolutely not the case. Yes, the image can be too bright or even pretentious, but it does not need to be completely copied. Get the main idea. The main trend of the season is the emphasis on the eyes. Eyebrows have become neat, lips - natural and slightly hydrated. But what a super fashionable eye makeup can be, I'll tell you now.

Graphics

Arrows, as they say, "rule"! Moreover, make-up artists often choose not classic arrows, but bright, expressive, even grunge ones with rounded ends, like Tom Ford. If you don't want chunky arrows, put a little emphasis on the tip, like on the Lanvin, Jil Sander or Oscar de la Renta shows. Perfect shooters make eyeliners from Tom Ford and Pat McGrath.

Kayal

Another way to create an expressive look was suggested at the Oscar de la Renta show. Kayal was applied to the mucous membrane along the entire contour of the eye and gently shaded it. The tone and shade of the lips remained neutral.

Highlighter under the eyes

The trend of the season was set by the makeup artists of the shows Prada and Victoria Beckham. An under-eye highlighter is also a great way to mask bruises. By the way, I have been using this technique for a long time and have already talked about my must have from Smashbox, which the stars love very much.

Spider legs

The glued eyelashes from the catwalks have moved into real life and are loved not only by celebrity makeup artists, but also by ordinary girls. As a base for such an effect, you can use eyeliner, making a black contour along the eyelid (like in Christian Dior), or, conversely, nude monochrome makeup. To get "spider legs", you just need to apply mascara in several layers. Any tool will do for this. For example, Dior Diorshow mascara.
