Favorite summer makeup techniques
We like to find out which make-up will suit the girlfriend's wedding dress, which lip balm gives a "matte shine" or with which brush it is better to approach the brightest blush. This time, five girls complaining about cosmetics not less than ours, shared how they represent summer make-up and told about his favorite schemes.
I love to be beautiful - although, perhaps, for me, this can not be said; since I stopped doing makeup, the visible color on my face diminished. But all the same, the boxes in the bathroom are crammed with cosmetics - and, oddly enough, I conduct a large number of experiments in the summer. This is logical - despite meetings in the office, I get under the sun, my face gets a little darker, and any make-up immediately looks better.
Most of all I love fashion for a radiant face, the proverbial health-radiant skin. Therefore, I never puddle - I have dry skin, I have nothing to matte, but you are welcome to moisten and nourish it in addition. One of the most spectacular ways to create this desired shine in the summer is to apply face oil in the morning (on such days I even neglect the cream). If you plan a day under the sun, then nothing prevents you from adding a protective cream with SPF - but for the get-togethers in the office I ignore this stage. Then I apply cream blush, and on my cheeks, and on my eyelids, and on my lips, I adore monochrome makeup. Ink: in the office - yes, on a day off - no. Everything. Effective, bright and very natural.
As many girls, perhaps, in the summer I less often paint eyelashes - and I simply prefer color mascara. This year I bought a furious Dior Addict, I do not like it. True, I like to walk her on the tips of the already painted black eyelashes, otherwise the eyes look painful. What else? Concealer - hide dark circles under the eyes. Without it, neither winter nor summer. I love Bobbi Brown, bought it last year before the wedding - and recently went for the second jar, the first cleaned up was a rare occasion for me.
I also like Europeanized BB creams - when it’s sunny and I don’t look very good, this is the perfect way to kill all the hares at once. I love those that give the skin a moist look, in our “Black Pearl” there is just such a thing. And on top of that I like to walk with a cream highlighter - apply a little on the cheekbones, under the eyebrow and on the back of the nose, stepping back from the tip. I also like to put on lips with bright matte lipstick - and add a little mascara, leave your face naked. I like matte lipsticks because I do not like translucent, balsamic, that's all - on me they look sloppy, the mouth immediately crawls off somewhere. But matte, dense, bright, clear - the most it. I used to experiment with all sorts of neon shades, now I choose something calmer - but bright nonetheless. For example, Makovskaya Lady Danger is a brilliant color, they always ask me what my lips are made up if I take it. The MAC seems to have released several professional colors in the usual range - I intend to study the issue in detail.
In the summer, when the face is already slightly sunburnt, I finally begin to use cosmetics with might and main, which I have not been doing all year. Probably, the heat is not the best time for the cream bases, but I prefer it to these remedies now, be it shadows or rouge. In truth, I don’t have cream blush, but there is MAC balm-gloss and YSL lipstick - they fit perfectly on the cheeks. I have several shades of these lipsticks, from carrot to cherry, all glossy, I like to change them during the day. But if for a lipstick I need a special playful mood, then the emphasis on the eyes in the summer is like a glass of water after waking up. Most often I do Smokey, for which I choose cream shades of Chanel with a shimmer, dark golden or dusty-purple, on top of which I also draw black arrows. Sometimes I decide on NARS ultramarine shadows, they are very bright and strongly contrast with green eyes. This is the only crumbly remedy in the summer cosmetic bag, I draw them arrows or the same Smokey, although for a long time it fitted them (the shadows easily lose their color without a suitable base). And no matter how vulgar it all sounds, there is no hint of a clown coloring. And in general, what our years.
In winter, I constantly use the YSL Top Secret makeup base, in the conditions of our city it is irreplaceable: it evens out skin tone, removes roughness and reddening. Then apply a brush with a brush and fix it with powder. In the summer I exclude all these means, because I don’t want to feel something on the face, and the sunburn of the face saves. The main component of my makeup bag in the summer is waterproof color mascara: the blue color makes gray-green eyes brighter (besides, you never know where you will have to swim or get under rain). I also use Shiseido matting wipes, they get rid of shine and replace the powder. I leave lipsticks and lip glosses until winter and use quick-absorbing lip balms, such as Sergey Naumov. Evening summer make-up, in my opinion, requires dry blush to highlight cheekbones, and matte lipstick — it is long-lasting, does not smear, and if the sea breeze blows, the hair will not stick to lips.
Contrary to the classical rule, I love to paint in the summer - maybe because in my favorite months I manage to live a full real life and I have much more strength and energy for makeup than in winter. I do not attach my own makeup to the season, but in the summer I feel freer in choosing an image due to the understandable variety of clothes. For example, I believe that in summer the most unbridled glitter and glitter are justified; With great pleasure I wear black and dark shiny shadows and varnishes - only in bright sunlight can one see all the beauty and depth of these shades. And as for relevance, then everything is appropriate in summer - and the flying dress looks much more elegant with black smoky eyes than the red nose, hat and down jacket.
Summer in Moscow becomes a real summer for a maximum of 20 days a year (and everyone immediately starts to ache about the heat), but since April I want my face to have a lot less, while it remains clear and fresh. Most of all, in this warm season, I was saved by five kilograms of perfect cosmetics that I brought from Seoul - I won’t even know what I would do without their light means, each of which smells like paradise on earth. Plus, it is so easy and pleasant to use them, that without cosmetics I go out only with a dog for a walk, well, or go to a far corner, where I don’t know anyone or, on the contrary, I have known everyone for a thousand years.
My every morning begins with a large glass of water with lemon, facial washing and weightless toner Missha - Korean obsession with bleaching and glow effect is terrible to the court, even to me, who despises Sanskrin and loves tanned skin. Immediately on the toner, I put a refreshing serum with collagen and moisturizer, and then the perfect primer Face It - from him on the face appears amazing pearly glow. If the night was noisy, then without a concealer, nowhere, if I went to bed early and even managed to make a mask before going to bed, I refuse extra layers. Instead of foundation and BB-cream in the heat I use light powder Bobbi Brown and ball Guerlain - the best gift for my friends, without which I can not do. In the summer, I often give a break to my eyes - I often wear monotony in the cold and I can even paint smoky at home for myself - and I emphasize my lips. The last trip to the store ended with the purchase of five perfect bright lipsticks Rimmel and Maybelline, from which it is difficult to expect something good, but now I advise them to everyone and at every corner: such red, orange and pink shades, first of all, look secondly, many expensive lipsticks, for example, Chanel terribly dry my lips - the same juicy, persistent and shiny. In the summer, I often do nude makeup for the evening, avoid the usual black mascara (instead I paint KIKO and Pupa with amazing shades) and replace the eyeliner with a pencil. And it happens that hardcore with a highlighter is my favorite, also Korean, I apply Nature Republic according to the instructions and not according to the instructions on all the protruding parts of the face, and Shimmer Bobbi Brown - on the cheekbones.
Almost all of my friends are lovers of heavy and complex smells, which I adore on others, but I can't stand for myself: and if a lot of probes were poured into a package in a store, I can safely smell new every day and not worry at all. My summer favorites: Kenzo with a faint smell of cotton, Issey Miyake on a lotus, Chloé with a bow and Age of Aquarius Tokyomilk - if all perfumes were released in 20-30 ml, I could be saved from annoying smells and heavy unnecessary bottles. All this, however, is a story for Moscow. And now the bad advice. As soon as I go to the sea, I take lip balm, eyeliner and moisturizer, undress and sunbathe, sunbathe, sunbathe - and spit on ultraviolet light, the effect of salt water on the skin and hair, and all that scare beauty editors. At a temperature of +35, in satanic heat, roasted in the sun, dark and with freckles I like myself every minute and without any cosmetics.
