Makeup which means. Ideal at home? Not a problem! Make-up: what is it

At all times, women have tried to emphasize their beauty. Also in Ancient egypt women, and not only women, resorted to cosmetics to give their face unique beauty... Egyptians and pharaohs used arrows to emphasize the beauty of the eyes. Greek women achieved a blush on their cheeks with the help of iris juice. The Romans dyed their eyebrows and eyelids, bleached their skin, and gave color to their lips and hair.

Correct make-up

The correct one should be invisible and seem natural. Such makeup usually takes much more time. Not worth applying tone cream or powder in several layers. This creates the effect of old and sore skin. And the frequent application of cream and powder leads to the appearance of wrinkles.

The most common mistakes in make-up

Makeup mistakes are common. There are a lot of them, but among them there are five of the most common and significant mistakes.

1. Wrong tone - a mistake most often seen in soiled collars. It happens like this: the foundation was applied to both the face and the neck so that the skin color on the neck matched the complexion. The rule says - if the tone changes the skin tone, then it is incorrectly selected.

The selection of the tone of the cream depends on the complexion. When choosing a cream, it is necessary to test the color on the jawbone and not on the wrist many. Only then will the tone be right.

2. Using blush instead of shadows is a common delusion among women. They often use blush as eyeshadow to save time. it gross mistake, especially if the blush is pink. These shades give the eyes a sore, tear-stained and tired look. This will not happen with golden or beige blush.

3. A clear lip contour does not lose its fans. The time when he was in fashion is long gone. It looks vulgar now. The lip contour should match the tone of the lipstick, or be a shade lighter or darker.

4. An overabundance of lip gloss is a mistake of those who love plump lips. A few years ago, lip gloss was at its peak. It looks natural and makes lips luscious and shiny. But they should not be abused: a large amount of gloss creates the effect that a woman ate something greasy. Also, do not apply glitter to plump lips and on top of lipsticks bright color so as not to lose natural beauty.

5. "Drawn" eyebrows, even if done carefully, create a caricatured image. This is especially true for women with fair skin and hair. Also, the wrong drawing of the eyebrows does not look natural.

For proper eyebrow makeup, you first need to give them a shape that suits your face. For drawing, it is better to use eyebrow shadows and a pointed applicator rather than a pencil. The eyebrows should look natural.

In order to understand where women have an unshakable desire to be beautiful, you need to look into history. To be a little more precise, you will have to look in ancient times, namely Egyptian queen Cleopatra from the Macedonian dynasty will tell us the answer to this question. To find out what a make-up is and what it is eaten with, you will need to delve into the depths of foreign languages. Again, to be a little more precise, it will be English... Well, let's go on a journey called "Make-up, makeup and everything about it."

Make-up concept

The roots of makeup

Unfortunately, it is not known for certain exact date inventions of make-up and some ardent fans and big lovers of decorating their faces will not be able to celebrate makeup day every year, but this concept takes its origins back in antiquity. During the time of the Egyptian pharaohs many women painted over the edging of the eyes to make them more expressive. The eyes were tinted not only by Egyptian beauties, but also by men, and this was not considered something out of the ordinary. They did it with crushed stone with the addition of oils, such a substance was called antimony. The Egyptians also used antimony to prevent eye diseases and to prevent various infections.

Ancient make-up is not only eyeliner. In Greece many centuries ago, women used iris juice as a blush, rubbing it on their cheeks. And women ancient rome went the farthest and even applied hair dye using dried herbs. In addition, they already then bleached the skin on the face, dyed the eyebrows and eyelids, and applied coloring agents to the lips. All this was done in order to be attractive and unique. From all of the above, it follows that the concept female beauty has been walking tightly holding the hand with the concept of makeup for many centuries in a row.

To make the picture more complete, it is worth mentioning that our ancestors painted their faces before hunting or fighting to intimidate the enemy, wishing to merge with nature. It was a whole ritual with songs and dances around the fire. The roots of this tradition lead to the days of the ancient Celts. These tribes used the Vaidu dyeing plant for coloring, from which they received a shade of indigo blue. The drawing was applied to the face not chaotically, but quite deliberately. This was done so that the drawing itself moved with facial expressions. Thus, the enemy could find out about the warrior's intentions and decide what to do: fight or surrender.

Subsequently, but still very long ago, around the 16th century, the New Zealand Maori tribes began to do “eternal” make-up on the body and face - simply a tattoo. It was called "ta-moko" and besides the frightening meaning, it also wore another. For such tattoos it was possible to find out almost everything about the person wearing it: his social status to which family he belongs, what kind of child he is, whether he is married, whether he has children, and more. Descendants of Indian tribes to this day tattoo themselves with meaning and read each other like open books.

Make-up: what is it

Before fully answering this question, you need to understand where this fashionable make-up word came from and what it means. The word make-up is an English word that literally means makeup. Other similar meanings: cosmetics, composition, make-up. Very many English words entered the Russian language without translation. In most cases, this happens quite often and carries a certain fashionable subtext, namely: it is becoming popular to use English words and word combinations without translation - this is a riddle, youth jargon, a trend of the present time, from which there is no escape.

Now that we have figured out the meaning and translation of the word make-up, we can proceed to the very definition of this concept. To figure out what it includes and to understand for ourselves how correctly we understand it. So. Make-up is makeup. Yes, yes, friends. Clearly and concisely, without blur and a bunch of unnecessary words. Makeup is fine art applying decorative products to the skin of the face in order to give it graceful shapes and correct color... Correction of disadvantages and artistic highlighting of advantages. Now you can connect and understand that both, being the same in essence, were invented for the benefit of women, in the name of their beauty and happiness.
