MAKE-UP: Step by step! #2

First of all, I'm sorry that tomorrow I couldn't submit the make-up post.

But here it is!

Just to remember, in the first entrie I talked about nude tones (which are the base of most of looks) and I made a natural make-up.

In this I'm going to apply one of my favourite rules based in that:

"If you want to pop out your eyes, use nude tones in your lips"

So today's make-up is... 

Tropical Vibes

(ok, not a surprise, you had a clue in the previous post haha)

And once again, the model is bornthiswaay!

So let's go!

We always start with a washed face.

For this make-up we will use three colours for the eyeshadow: green, orange and yellow.

We first put green in the part under the eyes, following its shape.

Then we add the yellow shadow over the eyes making a shape directed toward the top of the ears.

The we add a fine line of orange in the eyelid that gently mixed with the yellow.

If it doesn't get homogeneous, we apply again some yellow.

And we add a little bit of white shadow in the centre to join the yellow and green shadows.

Now, following the rule (at the begining of this post) we put some nude matte lipstick...

...and we give some volume to the lips with different tones of nude in the limits and some bright lipstick in the centre.

And finally, the blush as we learnt in the first post.

This is the result: 

MAKE-UP: Step by step! #1

I have to confess something... Make-up is not my thing.

But I always say 

"get out of your comfort zone"

and that's what I'll do in this section!

I'll show you how I understand the make-up (although I don't usually change it, someday I'll show you the make-ups I usually use) and which are the rules I follow, step by step.

As I don't have much items in my beauty parlor, the model will be the beautiful...

So today's about NUDE TONES (my faves)... Let's go!

Total Nude Make-up

So we start with washed face and nude lipstick.

 We work now over the lips.

Playing with different tones of lipsticks we can add lights in the centre and mark the 

limits with a darker lipstick.

As you can see, we emphasize the volume of the lips.

 The next step is applying the eye shadow.

We divide the eyes in two parts with white shadow in the centre and ocher shadow in the extremes.

You can use some mascara on the top eyelashes. If you don't, your make-up will seem more natural.

And finally the blush. 

We choose a soft nude blush to be in harmony with the rest of the make-up.

We apply it in the limits of the face to mark the cheeks and at both sides of the nose to refine it.

Et voilá! A total nude make-up in 4 simple steps!

IMPORTANT! 

If your skin colour is darker, the tones you should use are similar to your skin tone.

Nude tones are the base for many looks so I think this post had to be the first one.

This is one of my favourite make-ups because you can use it in most of the occasions and it's really easy to make and combine. 

It's natural and doesn't stand out, but it defines the shapes and the volume of the face.

Tomorrow next post!
