We select makeup according to the shape of the face. Learning to Correct Wrong Features

How to choose makeup for the evening, for the day? What rules do you need to know to look advantageous in any light? What does it take to look constantly well-groomed, young, beautiful and sexy?

These questions concern many women. Even those for whom make-up is a profession periodically begin to doubt the right approach to themselves or models. How to choose the right makeup for your type, so that you can always look stylish?

One of the principles of makeup selection

In order to make it easier for women to determine which color palette to prefer, make-up artists and designers conditionally divided women into 4 types. Of course, this division is conditional, but it helps to decide when purchasing the necessary color palette of makeup products.
Spring Woman. The hair is closer to light, light eyelashes and eyebrows, but the skin tone is golden or dark beige. The blush on the cheeks, especially in young girls of this type, is soft peach, the lips are full and bright. The presence of freckles is often noted. The eyes can be green-yellow, blue, blue, olive, clear, without overflow.
How to choose proper makeup women of this type? As a basis, take the fact that cosmetics should emphasize natural beauty and not try to correct your own appearance with the help of decorative cosmetics. In terms of color, it is desirable to give preference to yellow shades - this applies to the choice of lipstick, eye shadow, blush. Lemon shades and cold dark tones will spoil the face. They will make the skin look paler.
There are a lot of summer women in Europe. They have any hair color - only sultry brunettes are excluded from this type, but they have absolutely no golden hue in their hair. Eyebrows and eyelashes are light, but also without a golden spark. The skin of such women is white, pale, if pigmentation is present, then light. Eye color steel or grey. May vary depending on the accompanying tones.
How to choose makeup for women of this type? The choice is large - cool tones of "light" colors. Shaded purple, beige, gray, pink, blue shadows. You can stop at all shades of dairy - from baked milk to whipped cream. A small nuance should be taken into account: the emphasis is on one part of the face. Green juicy shadows - neutral lipstick of a natural color, bright lips - light beige shadows.
Choosing your makeup is not difficult for women with an autumn-type face. These women can be described in one word - expression. They have bright chestnut-red to dark brown hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are the same color as their hair.
The color of the lips is saturated, the skin can be from dark gold to milky white, even tone - without a blush. Eye color can be anything. One thing distinguishes him - he is saturated. Amber, dark brown, bright blue, gray-blue, green eyes, like a forest swamp pool.
With caution, women of this type should use purple and mother-of-pearl shades. Everything else is suitable if it is dim, matte. It is best to give preference to the warm tones of the autumn forest in eye makeup.
Blush is desirable to choose light, neutral, in order to only indicate the line of the cheekbones.
Lipstick and clothes in color - plum, blackberry, leafy foliage.
Women of the winter type are in the majority on the globe. They are the easiest to choose your makeup. They can use any rich bright colors, however, gray and brown are classics for them. Women of this type will be decorated with mother-of-pearl cosmetics; they can experiment with sparkles. The only thing that does not suit them is all shades of yellow.
The winter type of a woman can be divided into a southern winter type and a northern one.
For the "southerners" are characteristic:
