Makeup in two minutes
Many girls in everyday life want to spend as little time as possible on makeup and use a minimum of funds. To always look fresh and well-groomed, it is enough to have only 3 products in your cosmetic bag - concealer, cream blush and mascara.
The concealer will help even out skin tone and refresh the eye area. Creamy blush should be applied not only to the cheeks, but also to the lips and eyelids. Mascara will accentuate your eyes. Using this technique, you will always smile when looking at yourself in the mirror.
How to carefully paint over the upper and lower eyelashes
You can achieve an expressive and wide-open look with just one mascara if you know how to apply it correctly. Expressive eyelashes are in trend now!
Pay attention to the elaboration of the root volume - apply mascara from the roots of the eyelashes in zigzag scrolling movements, pulling them up. To accentuate the lower eyelid, apply mascara with the tip of the brush, holding it vertically. By painting over only the roots of the eyelashes, you will achieve an eyeliner effect.
Bright shadows without the effect of teary eyes
Bright shades are relevant in eye makeup this season. Many people are afraid to use them because orange, purple and pink colors can create the effect of teary eyes. To avoid this, arm yourself with a dark shade of pencil or eyeliner (graphite, black, brown). Work out the space between the eyelashes with a pencil or make a small arrow - this technique will add expressiveness to the look. Finally, be sure to paint over your eyelashes using the techniques above.
Smooth and symmetrical arrows
It is important that the arrow is thinner, starting from the inner corner of the eye to the middle, and thickening towards the outer part of it.
To make beautiful tips, paint them with your eyelid open. Use a piece of tape to make the arrows symmetrical and stick it around the outer corners of your eyes as a guide.
Natural and voluminous eyebrows
Wide, natural, well-groomed eyebrows have been in trend for several seasons. To achieve this effect in makeup will help the use of several eyebrow products.
Use pencils in two shades: lighter draw the entire shape of the eyebrow, darker highlight the curve and emphasize the bottom line of the eyebrow. This technique will give your brows a natural volume. And eyebrow gel will help to achieve the density of hairs.
