Arrows, shadows, tone, lipstick: 5 life hacking makeup
We told about proven brushes with which you should at least try to work: there is a great chance that they will simplify and diversify daily makeup. In addition to them, there are still many useful makeup tools that are not always obvious and even, at first glance, suitable. We tell how to apply cosmetics net, why start a palette-ring and how to make up your eyelashes, without smearing the upper eyelid with mascara.
Graphic arrows with threads
Strictly speaking, make-up with elements of drawings flashed on the autumn-winter shows of Anthony Vaccarello, Giamba, Rodebjer and others, but it is so simple and unusual so far that we see no reason not to wear it in summer. Clear lines of the same thickness are difficult to draw by hand, but you can equip yourself with a regular or dental thread, evenly apply eyeliner, mascara or cream shadows on it and seal the skin on the desired area. It’s better to start with laconic options like the arrows like this - if asymmetry is not included in the plans, the uniformity of lines will have to be worked out at first.
Eye makeup with a piece of cloth
Grid, simply crumpled fabric, lace - all this can also be left prints, as well as threads. Make-up, reminiscent of smoky eyes, with them to make simple: pigment (eyeliner, mascara or shadow) should be distributed over the fabric and a quick bold movement applied to the skin: at least on a mobile eyelid, at least half a face. For inspiration for such non-casual images, you can refer to couture shows: they are often decorated with masks and nets. The only thing such kunshtyuki better hold with waterproof means that is important in this case, the schedule did not float.
Super fast makeup
It is no secret that many makeup artists apply and correct makeup with their fingers, but you can do the same with the help of sponges. A good sponge evenly distributes even dense means, practically does not absorb it and, which is nice, leaves hands clean. With some skill with one such instrument, you can apply tonal, blush, cream shadows, highlighter and concealer in a matter of minutes if you use different sides for different means. True, with this approach, the sponge will have to be washed before each use, but this is for the better - too much cleanliness does not happen.
Neat eyelashes
For those who fail to make high-quality eyelashes with mascara, without slapping the moving eyelid, they have already come up with separate devices. One of these, the Mascara Guard, looks rather frightening, but there is also a more useful and compact version: in it one side is a comb with thin teeth, and the second is a rigid plate, carved in the shape of a century. The subject is simple, you can even find it in any "L'Etoile", and a small one will fit in any cosmetic bag and save nerves. If you don’t manage to paint the interracket space with a brush with the brush, you will have to paint it with a strong pencil.
Individual shade of any means
A small palette in the form of a ring can protect from the purchase of not very necessary lipsticks and tonal tools, because it is convenient to mix your own shades with it. In addition, it is easy to keep it clean, and it is difficult to smear everything around with cosmetics. Look for steel palettes worth of professional brands, one of the most affordable - from Manly. It is more convenient to scoop and stir lipsticks, cream shades, blush and tonal ones with a special spatula. Like the palette, it needs to be disinfected before each use, the most convenient way to do this is with the help of napkins. And another tip about textures: it is better to mix the tools of one line or at least one brand - it’s not a fact that you can mix different formulas into a homogeneous mass.
