Definition of classics in makeup

Classic makeup is universal, and any woman should own its techniques. If earlier some techniques were used only by professional makeup artists, today they can be realized with the help of cosmetics on their own.

The classic style highlights the main accents on the face, including:

• wide-open expressive eyes (long dark eyelashes, classic eyeliner);
• slightly curved wide eyebrows of a natural shade;
• pronounced cheekbones;
• sensual and plump lips (gloss or bright red lipstick);
• an even and radiant complexion with a slight, barely noticeable blush.

Makeup sequence

Classic style makeup should look organic with everything else. In addition to brightness, it should be distinguished by such qualities as relevance and conciseness. Unlike other styles, the classics do not accept extravagant and extraordinary solutions. Simplicity and clarity are the 2 main principles of its creation.

The sequence for creating a classic make-up:

1. Moisturize your face with a mask or serum.
2. Correction of local imperfections (redness, age spots, pimples).
3. Create tone with foundation.
4. Contour drawing with eyeliner.
5. Applying shadows.
6. Eyelash dyeing with mascara.
7. Facial sculpting (dark shadows, sculptors).
8. Eyebrow combing and coloring.
9. Blush creation.
10. Contouring the lips.
11. Applying lipstick or lip gloss.

Preparing for the makeup process

The most important part of any make-up is moisturizing and preparing the face. The care part plays a decisive role in how the makeup will look in the end. The skin should be radiant and fairly smooth. No cosmetic products can 100% cope with skin problems. It is necessary to establish home care and select the working formulations of the products.

For good hydration, you can use:

• serum;
• toners;
• cloth or cream masks;
• fluids and makeup bases.

Determination of the color type and shades of cosmetics

After the skin is sufficiently moisturized and nourished, they proceed to choosing the main makeup tone.

This can be done based on the table below with color types:

How to apply foundation and foundation

The most important step in creating any makeup style is applying tone. It is this step that will determine how the make-up will look in general, whether irregularities and roughness will be visible. The product applied before foundation is called a primer or base. It is capable of not only leveling the surface relief, but also providing a better application of subsequent products. It is not recommended to neglect such a tool, to save on cost is also not worth it.

The foundation should be applied to a well-cleansed and moisturized face. You can use a soft foam with a natural composition first, then a moisturizing toner. After the product is completely absorbed, apply the primer over the face with clean fingertips. The amount applied should not be too large, about 2-4 drops.

There is another way to apply - with a sponge, wet or dry. If you plan to create a regular make-up, you can use a dry sponge, if with the effect of shimmering skin - wet.

Foundation can be different:

• cream;
• cream powder;
• cushion;
• powder.

It is recommended to apply the tone either with a sponge, or with a brush or fingertips. A brush will provide the densest application. The sponge will give light distribution and a slightly permeable effect. Hands can work hard-to-reach places (near the bridge of the nose, near the eyes). For an even and organic look, it is necessary to apply the tone also to the neck, ears and décolleté area. The amount may be slightly less, the main thing is to shade well.

Tools and cosmetics

The tools used to create make-up and the cosmetics themselves should be given special attention.

The final result will also depend on the quality of the products:

• It is better to choose complete brushes from a good manufacturer with natural bristles. After each use, they should be rinsed with a special care product. You also need to dry in specially thought out conditions and place;
• sponge and discs should be purchased from professional brands. They should also be rinsed and dried after use;
• care products do not have to be of the same brand. You need to choose not by manufacturer, but by composition. The ingredient list must not contain harmful, toxic or prohibited substances. You can check it using specialized sites;
• cosmetics should be selected as much as possible for the type of face. Owners of dry skin should pay special attention to moisturizing products with various oils in the composition. Women with combined or oily type - on formulations with sebum regulators and matting components. Older ladies need to monitor the presence of anti age substances.

The pricing policy of tools and cosmetics can vary depending on the budget and personal preferences of the woman. The main thing is to learn how to evaluate compositions and be able to test the consumer properties of instruments.

Ways to apply a classic make-up, recommendations

Classic style makeup can be applied in several ways. It depends on what effect you want to achieve. This applies to some individual parts of the make-up, most often the make-up of the eyelids (applying shadows).

The classic way

The classic way is to consistently and habitually apply all the products in turn, from complexion to lip makeup. This style remains universal, it is most convenient for both makeup artists and for self-makeup.

The main recommendation here is to start with bulk products (shadows, blush). This will remove excess from the face if they begin to crumble. There is no single rule of what and in what sequence to apply on the face. The options will vary depending on the preferred accents (lips or eyes). In classic application, products are usually applied from top to bottom.For a more lasting result, it is necessary to use special finishing clamps.

Classic horizontal way

The horizontal method of application most often involves eye makeup, when the color of the eyeshadow changes horizontally. This technique is widely used to visually correct wide-open eyes, as well as round eyes. Color changes in stripes visually lengthen the shape, making it almond-shaped.

The horizontal method must be started from the eyelash growth line, apply a thin layer of loose or creamy shadows there.

If there is no good skill in makeup techniques, it is best to stick to the last type of shadows, applying them is much easier. Mastering dry shading takes some training or some nuance. Next, you need to move to the line of the eyebrows. It is advisable to make the transitions smooth and blending into each other. This can be achieved using special border feathering brushes.

Classic vertical way

The vertical method also has eye shape correction properties. Most often it is used to hide an overhanging eyelid or to widen the narrowness of the eyes. It consists in a vertical change of colors, starting from the inner corner of the eyes. The lightest shade of the palette should be applied to the inner corner of the movable eyelid with a vertical strip. Next, you need to move vertically to the outer corner, changing colors and shading them with a thin brush.
