Metal textures are still at the height of fashion and it is unlikely to come out of it soon, even if working with iridescent accents is not so easy. If you have a reason, in whose name you are ready to be carried away by drawing on the face for an hour and a half, we suggest trying just such a run. We show seven video instructions that will help you turn into a robot, alien or superheroine for one evening.
Lips makeup in metallic shades
This hypnotic video great reveals the technical side of the issue: the whole secret of the elegant metallic lip makeup is the careful distribution of the product. In the final, your makeup should look like a thin coating, so if you still do not complicate your life by spreading pigments in an oily base, take the lipstick of the desired shade (look at the Lime Crime and Smashbox brands) and a fairly thin brush. To begin with, you can draw a contour with a confident colorless pencil, and then apply the iridescent substance with small movements: long, painful - but the result is worth it.
Art make-up from the New York podium
Maybelline makeup artist Camila Bravo shows how to repeat the almost word for word complex makeup Gigi Hadid from one of the New York spring-summer shows. In general, everything is not so scary and not too many products will be needed - it is possible that you already have analogues of metallized pencils and a Maybelline 24K Nudes palette. Instead of graphics there is a soft feathering and arrows; the result will definitely suit those who want to wear such makeup outside the greenhouse conditions of the catwalk or photo studio.
Metallic contour of the lips
Another technique that is rarely used in life, but revered on beauty resources. And in vain: the combination of the appearance of "bare" lips with a rich metallic contour looks amazing and, by the way, perfectly allows you to eat, drink and have fun in every way. After the bronze smokey, Nelly Toledo shows how to create such a contour with a very thin brush. Use nude lipstick as a base if you wish: if you simply apply a balm on your lips and then add a metallic stroke, the result will be even more avant-garde.
Smoky with metallic accents
Easy and bold way to diversify the sweeping Smokey - add to them a bit of metal. Chelsea Stacy creates a base make-up in shades of brown, and generously sprinkles radiant pigment into the middle of the upper and lower eyelids. It is better to apply it on the base or special glitter glue, so that the layer is thick. Contrast with matte shadows looks unusual, and you can play not only with colors and textures, but also with methods of application. In contrast to the shadows drawn with a brush, use your fingers to create a metallic accent - then you’ll get not too elaborate makeup, as we need.
Shining Ombre Arrows
Another great technique that helps to find common language with metal textures is a variety of arrows that you can simply draw with liner or suitable lipstick. You can invent tricks more difficult. For example, to make these ombre arrows, starting with gold in the inner corner and ending with a black tail. To make the makeup brighter, add to the eyeliner all the same pigment or shadow with a large shimmer. Walk along the border between the end of the arrow and its shining base with an eyeliner, and leave the tail matt or sprinkle it with rare sparkles.
Multi-layered smocks in metal textures
Ultimate master class by Charlotte Tilbury for those who do not want to waste their time on trifles. In this makeup make-up artist uses several similar shades of blue, gradually layering one on another - as a result, the accents turn out to be voluminous and deep, although at first glance the smocks look monochrome. You can use not only different color variations, but also different textures: among them there are also more and less intense ones, so it will be interesting at any stage of product selection.
Metal Smokey for every day
If you do not want to compete with leading make-up artists and a lot of professional secrets, see Emily June's sofa master-class in quite moderate makeup with metallic accents. For him, the blogger used several dark shimmer shades from the Urban Decay Naked palettes. They are really basic within the conventional understanding, but in such combinations they look unusual and beautiful: instead of a dazzling shine, there is a graceful allusion to it. You can support lip gloss, as Emily does, but you can wear it without an accompanying ensemble: in life, such smocks are quite noticeable and self-sufficient.
