Heart-shaped face make-up. Decorative cosmetics for an adult woman

  • Determination of face shape
  • Choice of cosmetics
  • Work with different shapes
  • We take into account the type of appearance when choosing cosmetics

If your cosmetic bag no longer has room for new eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and other cosmetics, but you are still not satisfied with your makeup, then it's time to review its contents and decide whether your cosmetics is right for you or not.

First you need to pay attention to your face shape. Only by defining the correct face shape, you can emphasize all the advantages and hide the flaws that confuse you.

Determination of the shape of the face.

Face shapes are usually divided into several types: triangular, square, oval, trapezoidal, rectangular, round, diamond-shaped and elongated. To determine the type of face, you just need to go to the mirror to collect your hair and look at which geometric shape your face most resembles.

Triangular face: This type is characterized by prominent sharp cheekbones and a narrow chin.

Square face: characterized by fairly even and equal proportions of the face. An angular chin, as well as a broad forehead with approximately proportional width and length.

Oval face: like the geometric shape of the oval, the face corresponds to a slightly elongated shape, with a smoothly elongated chin.

Trapezoidal face: a wide lower face and a narrow top are characteristic, but the cheekbones are practically not prominent.

Rectangular face: the face is higher than wide. The forehead is wide, cheekbones are not prominent, the chin is wide and slightly angular.

Round face: characteristic smooth transition from cheekbones to forehead. Sometimes this face shape appears flat due to the smooth transitions.

Diamond-shaped face: defined by a narrow forehead as well as a chin and wide cheekbones.

Long face: easy to confuse with oval, but more elongated features.

When you have decided on the shape of your face, you can proceed to the selection of cosmetics.

Choice of cosmetics

The hardest part about makeup is choosing the right correction for your shape. The correction itself consists in visually removing and approaching individual parts on the face. For example: highlight the cheekbones, raise the eyebrows, narrow the nose, and more. All of these touches are achieved with the right makeup.

  • Triangular face - best corrected with darker shades around the temples and outer forehead. It is recommended to apply blush on a straight line from the temple. It is also necessary to emphasize the lips, they should be lush and rounded.
  • Square face. We must try to hide the sharp and angular parts of the face inherent in this form. Darken the corners of the forehead and the pointed edges of the chin with foundation. In a triangle shape, apply the blush to the cheekbones. It is better to choose monochromatic shadows.
  • An oval face is the easiest to make up, as it does not require any strong correction. Apply a drop of blush to your cheekbones. You can also add a little volume with dark blush tones. Lips and eyes can be painted with any suitable makeup.
  • Trapezoidal face - it is desirable to level the lower and upper parts of the face in terms of severity. When applying dark blush on the chin, apply light blush on the cheekbones, while visually the face will become more balanced. You can also lengthen the eye contour with arrows, and apply light shadows in the corners of the eyes, which will also balance the upper part of the face.
  • Rectangular face. Let's start by darkening the face line at the hair growth, and a little more shade the powder at the extreme jawline. On the side, the face needs to be lightened. With the eyes, everything is quite simple - to lighten the corners, darken to the edges of the eye. Highlight the lips slightly with a contour pencil.
  • Round face. With makeup for a specific type of face, you need to visually lengthen it using dark powder along the contour of the face and cheeks. You can not focus on the eyes, but simply circle around the contour, but choose two-color shadows.
  • Diamond-shaped face. The pronounced angles need to be corrected. Darken the cheekbones and chin. Blush can be applied to cheekbones and cheeks as usual.
  • An elongated face is a rather difficult type of face. With this type, you need to expand the face horizontally, and at the same time reduce visually vertically. Apply dark powder to the lower and upper part of the face. And for the eyes and lips, use natural tones.

Determination of the type of appearance.

It is customary to distinguish four types of appearance: Spring, Autumn, Winter, Summer. The main criteria for the distinction are the shade of the hair, skin and of course the eyes. To create a harmonious look, it is worth choosing the appropriate cosmetics.

Spring type.

Light brown or light brown hair,

Eyebrows and eyelashes are also light,

After determining your face type, you must not forget about the rules for applying the correct makeup.

Some of these rules:

1. Before applying any makeup, do not forget about the base. After application, you will need to wait a couple of minutes before you can apply your makeup. The foundation will help keep your makeup dry and fresh throughout the day.

2. If you want to focus on the eyes, the arrows will become irreplaceable.

3. If you do not want to look unnatural, do not use more than four shades in your makeup.

4. For the lower eyelid, use a light colored pencil. And to visually enlarge the eye, light shadows under the eyebrow will help you.

5. And don't forget about mascara. To create your look, you need to find the perfect mascara that will lengthen and enlarge your lashes.

Observing all these rules, you can look natural and beautiful in any situation and at any event.

Make-up artists always create competent and professional makeup, first of all, according to the shape of the face. After all, this is the only way to emphasize the advantages and divert attention from the shortcomings. By identifying your face type and taking just a few of the right strokes, you too can perfect your look.

Determine the shape of the face

Traditionally, all forms of human faces are usually divided into eight types: oval, square, round, trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular, diamond-shaped and elongated. This classification was chosen because of the similarity with geometric shapes and the severity of some parts of the facial contour.

To determine your type, you need to stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back and trace the similarity of the face shape to the geometric figure.

  • Oval

The oval shape is slightly elongated due to the wide forehead and chin. The chin is not sharp, but smoothly arched.

  • Square

The square one is characterized by comparatively equal upper and lower halves. Wide forehead and the same wide angular chin. The length and width are approximately the same.

  • Round

The round face is distinguished by smooth transitions from the rounded forehead to the cheekbones, from the cheekbones to the chin. No corners, no parts too wide. This makes it appear flat.

  • Trapezoidal

The trapezoidal (pear-shaped) shape is characterized by a narrow top and a wide bottom. The cheekbones are not prominent.

  • Rectangular

The rectangular shape is distinguished by its elongation, the height of the face exceeds its width. The forehead is quite wide, the cheekbones are not very prominent, the chin is wide and angular.

  • Triangular

A triangular face is: a narrow chin, prominent sharp cheekbones.

  • Diamond-shaped

The diamond pattern is defined by wider cheekbones, narrower forehead and chin.

  • Elongated

Many people take an elongated face for an oval one, but it is more elongated (one and a half times longer than its width). Because of this, it seems very long and thin.

Choosing cosmetics

Competent makeup for different types of face includes color correction of its parts. The main task of correction is to visually remove and bring the necessary areas with the help of dark and light shades. For example, raise the eyebrows, narrow the nose, narrow the forehead, etc. All these effects are achieved with the help of the necessary cosmetic products.

To choose the right makeup for your face type, make-up artists use the following set of cosmetics:

  • cleansing toner for skin type;
  • day cream for the face;
  • primer;
  • brightening highlighter;
  • foundation of one or two shades;
  • concealer;
  • powder;
  • blush;
  • good, soft brush.

Learning to work with different forms

Let's try to figure out the details of how to choose the right makeup for your face type.

  • Oval

Close to ideal in its proportions. Such a person does not require correction if there are no serious defects. You just need to emphasize the beauty with blush; apply them smoothly along the cheekbones to the temples. If the face seems very flat, add more volume. Lighten the central part (the middle of the forehead, the protruding part of the nose, chin) with a lighter foundation, and the contours with a darker one.

  • Square

The purpose of makeup is to hide rough and angular parts. darken the corners of the forehead and the sharp edges of the lower jaw. Apply a dark blush to the cheekbone line in the shape of a triangle. To soften their severity, the cavity under the cheekbones can be lightened a little.

Eye shadow should be in one color so as not to draw attention to the wide forehead. Using a pencil, it is better to lengthen the eyes and give them an almond shape.

  • Round

Makeup for a round face should lengthen it by darkening the side contours and edges of the cheeks with a dark foundation or powder with a brush. Reduce the bulk of the cheeks by applying blush in the form of a triangle from the cheekbones towards the lips.

You can not change the contour of the eyes, but clearly outline your own. Better to use two-tone shadows. Apply darker shadows on the movable part of the upper eyelid, and let the part under the eyebrows be lighter.

  • Trapezoidal

Makeup for a trapezoidal shape should visually lighten the heavy lower jaw and make the upper third of the head wider. To do this, darken the chin with brown blush, and apply light ones on the protruding part of the cheekbones. We mark the cheekbones closer to the line of the mouth with a natural shade, shading to the temples.

You can expand the upper part of the face by lengthening the eye contour. It is better not to use very dark shadows, the contour and natural tone will be enough.

  • Rectangular

For the rectangular type, first darken the forehead at the hairline, use brown powder and a brush to slightly soften the lower jawline. Lighten the side part, on the contrary. Apply the blush horizontally in an oval shape, blending around the edges.

The lips can be enlarged slightly by applying a slightly wider contour than their natural one. Select the eyes with a contour, lighten the inner corner with shadows, darken the outer one.

  • Triangular

The triangular face needs to be corrected with a dark shade in the lateral area of ​​the temples and the outer part of the forehead. Apply blush smoothly downward from the temples.

It is important to correctly highlight the lips. They should look round and voluminous. To visually raise the low eyelids, the eyes can be tinted using the vertical technique.

  • Diamond-shaped

On a diamond-shaped face, soften the pronounced corners. To do this, darken the side contour of the cheekbones and the sharp top of the chin. It is better to apply the blush on the front, from the lip line up, not bringing it to the cheekbones.

  • Elongated

It is advisable to shorten the elongated oval vertically and expand horizontally. Tint the lower part of the chin and upper part of the forehead with a dark shade. Horizontal blush can broaden contours.

It is better not to accentuate lips and eyes, but to use natural contours and natural shades.

Beauty is what any woman strives for. At different times, fashion dictated certain standards, to which everyone tried to adapt, but even in the distant, ancient centuries, there was such a thing as makeup. How to choose the right one for your face type, how to highlight advantages with its help, hide flaws and look more attractive at the same time? Let's understand this issue in detail.

What make-up consists of

There are basic principles in the science of applying paint on the face, in accordance with which all makeup artists work.

The first is tone. It serves as the foundation, everything else is built on its basis. You may not know how to choose the right makeup for eyebrows, eyes, lips, you can generally leave these areas of the face unpainted. But a well-chosen tone will do almost half the battle.

The second position is relief. Nowadays, it is called sculpting and has become incredibly common thanks to social networks. How to make up yourself in accordance with modern beauty canons, we will consider below.

The third aspect is the eyes. If you do not know how to choose the right eye makeup based on their shape, size and fit, it is better to limit yourself to nude shadows and mascara, without introducing yourself into art. The eyebrows are in fourth place, and they play an extremely important role in the perception of the face. It is necessary to adhere to your own, natural line of eyebrows, as well as know the basic rules for coloring them. Well, of course, lips. Plump, thin, tight or sensual - they need contour, tone and shine.

Tone and color type

There is a long-worn axiom that tells us that the appearance of the whole world can be conditionally divided into four groups. These are the color types "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter". It is depending on which of these categories you belong to that it is worth choosing the main tone, as well as the rest of the cosmetics palette. We will now learn in detail how to choose the right makeup for your appearance, based on the color type. Which shades will be acceptable and even necessary, and which should be categorically excluded from your palette. But deviating a little from the topic, we note that the appearance will be the most harmonious if you choose the right makeup and hair color as well. For various reasons, many girls refuse to walk with their natural hair. She may have an expressionless shade, gray hairs may slip through, etc. In this case, it is worthwhile to monitor in detail the question of what color the curls will suit you.

"Winter"

This contrasting and incredibly bright color type is considered the most common on the planet. It happens that a woman has naturally black hair and fair skin, but in some cases a similar effect is achieved through dye. These nuances are not important, since we are dealing with the result. If your hair and eyebrows are dark, your skin is light and has a cold undertone, then you are definitely "winter". In the palette of this color type, a place is given to exceptionally cold and bright shades. The most important thing is to find a suitable base that does not contain yellow pigment. Also, when choosing lipstick, eyeshadow and eyeliner, pay attention only to those colors that have a cool undertone.

"Spring"

Alas, there are few girls who are representatives of this type. It is just a concentration of tenderness and light, which is presented in the form of peach or beige skin with freckles, light green or blue eyes, light brown or golden hair. Of course, a makeup base for such a girl should have a warm, yellowish undertone. It is better to choose a blush among the peach palette, in fact, like lipstick. It is important to know that bright and dark tones are contraindicated in "spring". They only create a ridiculous appearance, and do not set, as many mistakenly believe, accents.

"Summer"

The color type is also very common, especially in our Russian environment. It's funny that many representatives of "summer" can easily transform into "winter" by dyeing their blond hair black. For this reason, the palette for both types has a lot in common, but not without nuances. Since the representatives of "summer" are very fair women who do not have rich eyebrows, eyelashes and hair. How to choose the right makeup for a similar color type? Is it acceptable to use bright colors. First, the palette must remain cool. It is worth excluding all warm shades, especially orange, as it gives the face a shade of illness. As for saturated colors, it is permissible to use them, but, again, in the cold range. It is worth noting that a make-up with bright accents on the "summer" face will look very bright, so it is better to leave this option for ceremonial and evening outings.

"Autumn"

Representatives of this color type are rarely found in our strip, so few people know how to choose the right makeup for it. Autumn girls are most often brown-haired or red-haired, their skin shimmers with a bronze tint, often there are age spots on it. The shade of the skin may be pale, but there will certainly be a "gold" in it. Against the background of all this, amber blue or brown eyes flaunt. The main condition in tone and makeup for such women is dullness. Avoid glitter, mother-of-pearl, and overflows. Use mostly warm shades, plum or beige.

How to choose the right makeup for your face type

Now let's move on to the shape of the face. Not every lady can boast of a perfect oval, but this does not mean that only a few will remain beauties. There are several types of faces, based on which we will do the contouring or sculpting.

  • Square. The face type is characterized by heaviness and angularity, so with the help of a make-up it is worth smoothing out all the edges. You will need a foundation that matches your skin tone and one darker tone. With the help of the second, darken the sharp corners of the lower jaw and the edges of the forehead. The dark blush is applied to the cheekbone line in a triangle, and the hollow under the cheekbones is slightly lightened.
  • Circle. You can stretch your face as much as possible by darkening its sides. Dark blush should be applied along the cheekbones and shaded towards the corners of the lips.
  • Triangle. Here you can not do without darkening the forehead. A dark tone is applied to the upper part of the forehead as well as to the cheekbones. It is important to highlight the lips to balance the proportions of the triangular face.
  • How to choose the right makeup for an oval face? This type does not require adjustment. Just accentuate your cheekbones, apply blush, and most importantly, use a single tone for your entire face.

Eyes and makeup basics

Women have always paid maximum attention to this part of the face, and for good reason. Much depends on their shape, and the general impression of the person depends on how correctly the make-up is chosen for this form. How to choose the right makeup for the shape of your eyes? What are the general eye shapes?

  • Lowered corners. Due to such a fit of the eyes, the face often looks a little sad and infantile. It is rare for women who possess such traits to create the image of a predator. However, it is worth applying shadows using this technique. It is necessary to "raise" the extreme corner of the eye as much as possible with the help of arrows, shadows, false eyelashes.
  • Convex. Eyes that are too large, over which a huge upper eyelid hangs, is the basis for applying dark shades. There is no need to paint the middle of the moving eyelid with a highlighter, as in the classic make-up. Black or gray paint is applied to this place and shaded in both directions. Arrows of various thicknesses look very attractive on such eyes.
  • Closely planted. This is the case when the classic eye makeup technique comes in handy. It is necessary to apply a light tone to the inner corners of the eyes, to the middle of the movable eyelid and under the eyebrow. In a tight tone, or even with arrows, the eyes are "stretched" to the sides, creating the effect of a cat's gaze.
  • Set wide apart. Correctly selected makeup for this type is smokey ice. It is only important to remember that dark shadows are applied to both the outer and inner corners of the eyes.

Choosing a lipstick

There are no clear rules and even recommendations regarding this beauty product. We can even say more - now there is no specific fashion for dark or light, brown or pink lipstick. All colors are in trend, but only those that suit you should be chosen from them. First of all, the shade of lipstick should be chosen in accordance with the color type. The next rule is that it should be in harmony with the blush, as well as with the image as a whole.

It's not just about the palette, but the case as well. Agree, even a red dress designed for daytime events will look too vulgar in tandem with the same scarlet lipstick. But an evening dress in similar colors requires an appropriate addition.

In general, we figured out how to choose the right makeup. Photos, allowing you to roughly navigate this science, are attached to the article, and by looking at them you can learn a little make-up tricks.

Makeup enables a woman to look attractive. But often the fair sex just prefer to cover the eyelashes with mascara and the lips with lipstick. Many of them do not even know that decorative cosmetics is a unique tool that allows you to visually change the shape and expression of a face, present their advantages and hide disadvantages in a favorable light. Consider how to choose makeup for your face type.

Face shape and makeup

First you need to determine the type of your face. To do this, you need to stand in front of the mirror, take all the hair in a ponytail. Then try to determine with which geometric figure the contour of the face can be compared.

To get a more accurate result from the experiment, you can go closer to the mirror and, closing one eye, circle the reflection of the head in the mirror with a water-soluble marker.

Now that you have figured out which figure your face is associated with, let's take a closer look at how makeup is done for different face types.

Oval

This type of face is characterized by a slight elongation and a not very sharp chin. This shape is ideal for makeup artists as it is easiest to apply makeup on an oval face. Various techniques for applying decorative cosmetics are appropriate here. You just need to take into account the individual characteristics (hair, skin and eye color).

Special correction for this shape is usually not required (unless, of course, there are no defects).

The correct proportions of the oval shape allow you to experiment with decorative cosmetics. If the face looks flat, it needs to be visually given volume. To do this, the center of the face (from the forehead to the chin) needs to be lightened using a light foundation, and closer to the contours, apply a darker product.

Using blush will make the oval face more attractive: brush movements should be directed from the cheekbones to the temples.

Square

Such a face is distinguished by a wide forehead and a clearly outlined massive jaw. The width is approximately equal to the length.

The purpose of face-type makeup in this case is to soften the protruding features, visually reduce the width and try to "smooth" the protruding corners.

The makeup base is used in a dark shade. The eyeshadow is applied from the inner corner to the outer corner, bringing it almost to the brow line.

It is better to use single-color, soft shadows. With an eyeliner, you can give the "mirror of the soul" an almond shape.

Blush in natural shades is applied from the middle of the cheek to the temple.

Using lipstick, the upper lip should be painted naturally and the lower lip should be triangular.

Round

This type of face is easy to recognize: it has equal width and length, rounded forehead and chin.

Applying decorative cosmetics, they try to visually lengthen such a face shape. This is facilitated primarily by the use of a dark tonal base.

The cheeks are covered with blush with a brick or brown tint from the cheekbones almost to the mouth line (in the shape of a triangle).

It is better to take two-tone eyeshadows: apply a dark tone to the upper eyelid, and a light one higher, blending it up to the eyebrows.

The shape of the lips is usually not increased, it is enough to choose a lipstick of a natural shade.

Pear-shaped

It has a small forehead and a fairly large lower part, especially the chin.

Skillfully done make-up visually makes the lower part of the face smaller and expands the upper one. To achieve this effect, the chin is darkened, and the prominent points on the cheekbones are covered with light blush or powder.

The blush is shaded from the corners of the mouth to the temples. It is best to use natural colors.

By lengthening the eye contour, you can visually reveal the upper third of the face. Shadows use natural tones.

Lipstick is selected dim, the most suitable option is flesh-colored.

Rectangular

A rectangular face is characterized by elongation in length, a high and wide forehead, a large chin, and not too prominent cheekbones.

Make-up for a rectangular face consists in correcting large details, for this they are darkened using brown powder.

The blush applied to the cheekbones along the horizontal lines is given an oval shape.

The eyes will look attractive if you draw a thin outline. The inner corner should be lightened with the appropriate shade tone, and the outer one darkened.

The lips can be distinguished by giving them volume.

Triangular

Owners of this type of face have a narrow, sharp chin, as well as a wide forehead. Makeup helps to soften the lines.

The temporal areas are corrected with a dark shade, and the lower face with a light shade.

Blush covers the temples, bringing the brush to the most prominent parts of the cheekbones.

The low eyelids, characteristic of a triangular face, can be visually raised slightly using the vertical eye makeup technique.

By adding volume and roundness to the lips, you can visually add the width of the lower part of the face.

Diamond-shaped

A face of this type is distinguished by wide cheekbones, a narrower chin and forehead.

The imbalance between these traits can be corrected with a well-chosen makeup.

The purpose of the make-up is the visual narrowing of the middle, as well as the expansion of the upper and lower parts of the face. For this, the lateral areas are covered with dark shades, and the central part of the face (from the forehead to the chin) is highlighted in a light tone.

Blush is applied with movements from the mouth line to the cheekbones.

The eyes will be more expressive if they are emphasized with thin arrows, winding their line up a little. The shadows, applying to the upper eyelid, are slightly shaded towards the temples.

With a pencil of warm shade, outline the line of the lips and apply a bright lipstick to match.

Elongated

This face shape is also called elongated, since it resembles an elongated oval.

The task of the make-up is to visually increase the width and decrease the length of the face.

The top of the forehead and bottom of the chin are tinted using darker shades of corrective agents.

Blush on the cheekbones is placed horizontally.

So that the lips and eyes do not stand out much, they are tinted with natural shades, giving them natural contours.

Makeup color correction

Makeup artists use the principles of color correction in their work, according to which all dark shades have the property of moving away and decreasing, and light ones - zooming in and out. Intense vibrant colors visually add volume.

Also, experts skillfully use the effects of light and shadow. Special color correctors have the following effect:

  • The red tint neutralizes blue tones. It is applied under the eyes to mask dark circles or bruises.
  • The purple color helps to even out the tone and refresh the face. It is used on the chin, cheeks and forehead.
  • The green tint makes the redness invisible, so it is covered with acne and blackheads.
  • The dark brown tone helps to emphasize the contours of the face and makes it more prominent.
  • The light beige shade emphasizes the protruding parts.

Correctors are applied alternately to the desired areas of the face in small quantities. At the end of this process, the borders are shaded and a foundation is applied.

Knowing the basic principles of color correction, as well as determining your face type, you can safely get down to business and try to make yourself a make-up that will hide flaws and emphasize advantages.

Now the Internet will begin to dazzle with headlines: "How to celebrate the New Year", "What makeup to choose for the main night of the year" ... Honestly, we also sometimes sin with this. But seriously, there is simply no universal makeup that will suit everyone on New Year's Eve.

We decided to do everything honestly and show, with the help of a professional make-up artist Alesya Volkova, which makeup suits different color types. Define yours - and then our advice will definitely be useful to you both at the upcoming corporate party and on New Year's Eve!

- In today's issue I will tell you how to choose the right makeup by color for various colors of appearance, - explains Alesya. - By combining the seasonal and directional methods, there are 12 appearance color types, and there are about 500 unique color options in the Caucasian race!

Today we will analyze typical examples with the principle of choosing color and brightness for a certain type of appearance.

We are not talking about "right" and "wrong" - I just show the most harmonious option for each color type. The final choice of make-up is always yours.

On the left photo there will always be an example of color disharmony in relation to a specific color type, on the right - a more harmonious version. "Errors" were only made in color. The lines and feathers in both photos are correct (so the differences may not seem so obvious).

An important note: the color of the girls' hair and eyes is natural.

Color type "Spring"

Olesya

"Spring" is a warm, non-contrasting color type. Typical Slavic appearance. Blond hair, pink, peach or yellow skin. Eye color can be absolutely any: gray, blue, green, hazel. Hair color ranges from blonde to medium blond. The key point is the lack of contrast in appearance (a large difference in color between hair and skin) and the warm temperature of the skin.

Representatives of the Spring color type: Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Robin Wright, Kirsten Dunst, Margot Robie, Gigi Hadid, Rosie Huntington, Candice Swanepoel.

We select the tone for Olesya:


When the skin is pink, you don't need to choose the same pink foundation. This is the most common mistake. The whiter and rosier the skin, the more often girls choose a tone that matches their complexion. But pink skin needs a yellow or peach tone (to neutralize redness), yellow skin needs yellow (possibly lighter, depending on the situation). Our heroine Olesya has a yellow skin tone. Choose a yellow base, but lighter (because the neck and neckline are lighter)

Brows:


The temperature of the eyebrow color should match the temperature of the hair. In other words, as much as yellow / light brown hair, the same should be yellow / light brown eyebrows. For our heroine, gray eyebrows are too cold and the wrong option. That's right - warmer and lighter eyebrows.

Eye makeup:

In the first photo, I deliberately did my makeup in grayer, colder colors and brighter than my appearance requires. Olesya is "warm", and gray looks alien on her face, and her makeup seems too bright. On the right photo, I used brown (almost red!) Shadows, which looks harmonious and "uniform" for the whole face.

Blush and lipstick:


The most common mistake "warm" blondes make is to choose pink. The formed stereotype about "barbie" suggests: "since I am light, I need pink." However, pink is a cool shade and it also looks alien on such a warm, delicate face. I propose to replace pink with peach, which carries the same message - tenderness and freshness, but in terms of temperature it corresponds to this appearance, and does not contradict it.

Color type "Autumn"

Nadya


"Autumn" is a contrasting warm color type. Representatives of this color type can be very different from each other in color. These are redheads, and brown-haired women, and even brunettes, and fair-haired people with warm skin tones. The warmer the appearance of the autumn color type, the less cold shades suit it. Therefore, I took a red-haired girl as an example. This will be seen best of all on her example, because there is more "warmth" in red-haired girls than in any other representative of autumn.

Fall Type Representatives: Mila Kunis, Julianne Moore, Jessica Chastain, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Stone, Julia Roberts.

Let's start with the tone:


Ginger skin is often reddish, and this redness needs to be neutralized. Therefore, you should not choose a foundation that matches the color of the skin on your face. Look at the neck and cleavage. This is exactly what the correct shade of foundation will be. The difference is clearly visible in the two photos. On the right is the correct option.

Brows:


The eyebrow tone should always match the temperature of the hair. Therefore, the gray eyebrows on the left are definitely not a good option. On the right - more brown and lighter. An important point: the eyebrows should remain in the same relationship with the hair, as nature intended: if they are naturally lighter than hair, then after makeup they should also remain lighter.

Eye makeup:


If you do not take into account fashion trends, then it is better for warm color types to use warm shades of shadows, cold ones - cold ones. In our case, the eye makeup in the photo on the left is more similar to the one that was relevant 20 years ago. On the right, everything looks modern, and most importantly, harmonious. The shade of the eyeshadow matches the color of the hair exactly.

Blush and lipstick:


The use of pink for "Autumn", in my opinion, is unacceptable in everyday life. Besides the fact that it hurts the eyes, this color makes the image of an autumn girl cheap. This can be clearly seen in the photo on the left. For the correct option, I picked up lipstick and blush, again very close to the color of the hair. As a result, harmonious makeup for a red-haired girl is performed in the same reddish-brown tones. And the makeup on the left photo seems brighter precisely because of the lack of a harmonious color.

Color type "Summer"

Vika


The "Summer" color type is the most difficult in the definition and selection of shades. Why? The fact is that all shades are suitable for the summer color type: both warm and cold. Therefore, the difference in the two photographs cannot be regarded as "beautiful" or "ugly", just the makeup will look different.

Girls of the "Summer" color type can have blonde hair, light brown and even very dark. The main thing is that they should be with a cold tint (not golden, but silver). The appearance of our heroine is quite contrasting - Vika looks brighter than many other representatives of the summer color type. However, the contrast is not as high as in the Winter color type. That is why she is "Summer".

Representatives of the Summer color type: Vera Brezhneva, Elena Krygina, Emily Di Donato, Ellen Pompeo, Madonna, Polina Gagarina.

Making the tone:


The skin tone of the summer color type is gray. The skin can look yellow, gray, earthy, even if it is very light. Therefore, applying a yellow foundation would be a mistake. The photo on the right has a base with a pink undertone. This allows the skin and its color to be refreshed.

Brows:


In this case, it is difficult to imagine that you can choose a brown or red color for your eyebrows. Rather, in view of the dark hair color, you might decide that the eyebrows should be darkened as well. As in the case of "Autumn", it is necessary to adhere to the rule: if eyebrows are by nature much lighter than hair, it means that after makeup the eyebrows should remain lighter.

Eye makeup:


In the first case, I chose a brown eye shadow color. For the autumn color type, this color is native. Here you can see: “Summer” eyes with makeup in this range look painful. In the photo on the right, colder gray shadows are used. And it seems that this color is just like a natural shadow. Again, because it is closer to the shade of the hair.

Blush and lipstick:


In the first case, I chose blush and lipstick in a warm shade - brown. In general, the makeup on the left photo also looks harmonious, but the girl looks older than her years. This is a side effect of the wrong shades. In the second case, I used a cool pink shade. After all, pink is so suitable for the summer color type. As a result, the makeup turned out to be fresher and more natural, and the girl matches her age (22 years old).

Color type "Winter":


Color type "Winter" is a contrasting cold color type. These are brunettes with very dark, often black, hair with a cool sheen. The skin can be very pale, but always grayish, without blush, or dark, but also gray, earthy in color. These people get their tan brown rather than orange or yellow.

Representatives of the winter color type: Anne Hatway, Monica Bellucci, Liv Tyler.

Making the tone:


The selection of tonal means for "Winter" is similar to "Summer". With a yellow base, the skin will look sore. Therefore, we choose a tone with a pink undertone, which makes the skin fresher.

Brows:


The main mistake when shaping eyebrows for the winter type is a very bright tone. Often, by nature, these girls already have thick and dark eyebrows. Therefore, you do not need to choose eyebrow products to match the eyebrows, otherwise they will be too dark. It is worth choosing lighter, gray pencils, which will simply create the effect of a falling shadow from the hairs, and the eyebrows themselves will look softer and wider.

Eye makeup:

The mistake of using warm colors is obvious here. The eyes look tired and sore. It is clearly seen that these shades are alien to such a cold appearance. In the right photo for the smoky, I took colder colors, and it looks harmonious with the hair color and the overall brightness of the exterior color.

Blush and lipstick:


For the first case, I used a peach blush and a neutral (not warm lipstick). Even so, the colors look bright and alien. On such a cold appearance, even products that are neutral in temperature are ugly "warm". For the correct option, I picked up a very light lipstick that almost perfectly matches the skin color. Very cool nude shade. On the cheeks there is a cold sculptor (almost gray), again in order to avoid reddishness and warmth in color. The result is perfect for our heroine!
