Attention! We have a season of evening dresses, sequins and stilettos. That's why we're leaning more boldly towards red lipstick, colored eyeshadow, and bolder cheek blush. Very good, because this is what holidays and carnivals are for. The only question is how to put on makeup to avoid constant corrections, looking in the mirror and phone, or even worse, applying lip and eye makeup at a restaurant table? Here's what to keep in mind to look like a million dollars before, during, and after a "big" dinner, party, or date.

Evening like morning

Professionals say that evening makeup is not about applying cosmetics with a thicker layer, but vice versa. If you want to look fresh and beautiful in the evening, do the same in moderation as in the morning. Unless you only care about your Instagram photos. But here the rule applies: something for something, because thicker makeup has less durability (the foundation settles in wrinkles, makes it heavier or drains), and secondly, there is a risk of smearing the colors on the eyelids, eyebrows or lips. . So start by spreading your base, then work a small amount of light foundation into your skin with a damp sponge (this will be even and thorough), then apply the concealer around your eyes and on the sides of your nose with your palms. with your fingertip, then use a brush and dust everything with loose shimmer powder.

By moonlight or by candlelight?

It's worth considering whether you'll be showing off your makeup under harsh, bright LED lights, or maybe warmer lamplight or even warmer candlelight? This is important, because the whiter, paler the light colors of makeup (tonal, powder and pink) should be, they should be warmer, apricot, golden. Conversely, in the case of candles, a colder beige, silvery palette is suitable here, otherwise the face will look artificially pink.

Fashionable and trendy

On the catwalks of high fashion in winter makeup 2018/2019, the rule is: less is more. So pick one strong makeup item and stick with it. It can be an unusual shade of color: blue, pink or even red! In line with the trends, there will also be a bright rowan-colored lipstick or a thicker eyeliner line on the eyelid, which is long to the temples. Depending on what you want to emphasize, be sure to apply the base on the eyelids or under lipstick. This is a specialized, but at the same time very practical cosmetics. Their consistency is light, silky and matte, you will not even feel these cosmetics, but you will see the difference in the durability of shadows, lipstick or eyeliner.

Makeup prepared and fixed

Mascara on the eyelashes, lipstick on the lips, just a fixing mist and you can go out. These are sprays that protect makeup from dissolving, evaporating and smearing. They are worth using if you are planning a late return home.

No more

A mistake that happens to everyone is applying powder during a party. Matte skin looks artificial, usually after the third layer, powder particles “hide” in folds, wrinkles and pores. The best way to get a shiny nose is matting paper. Instead of adding powder, they absorb moisture and the skin regains its freshness.
