On the eve of the New Year holidays, makeup artists told Sputnik how to look good not only on holidays, but also on weekdays, and how the abundance of cosmetics changed the Snow Maidens and Santa Clauses at matinees.
Day makeup: if you want youth, do not emphasize your cheekbones
The number of supporters of nude makeup does not decrease year after year - among Belarusian women, the image of Turgenev girls is especially relevant.
For the Turgenev young lady, shades of pink and skin not overloaded with foundation are relevant. It is better to achieve grooming with care, not a foundation, a variety of masks on your side.
Make-up artist Marina Golacheva, international master, director of the international makeup school Kryolan, recommends paying attention to the selection of a base for makeup - they can be shimmery, mattifying, and a concealer or foundation should be applied pointwise to mask capillaries, visible veins and skin irregularities.

"To even out the skin tone, it is better to use light textures that give the effect of well-groomed, but do not overload the face. It is better to get away from the powder, using it only for matting the central zone, it is better to use the finest textures -" anti-shine "or HD powder. make-up fixer, which makes small particles in the air not stick to the face, but slide off it. If desired, add shimmer to the cheekbones - and the daytime makeup is ready ", - said the makeup artist.
To achieve the effect of freshness of the image, the makeup artist advises avoiding harsh correction of the cheekbones, which often looks unnatural, and replacing it with draping - correction of blush. Marina said that contouring is most often irrelevant for Belarusian women, and numerous bronzers are created to emphasize the tan. Since most of the girls in our latitudes are light-skinned, the bronzer strip, instead of emphasizing the cheekbones, looks like a stain.
“The more shadows, the older we look. A child is born with almost no relief on the face, they appear as they grow older. Mothers of brides often enter the room where the makeup artist works, and they say - daughter, you have become such an adult! carried away sculpting, and if you wanted to accentuate the youth of the bride, it is better to add a slight blush. It is better to give preference to bold blush, which can be used simultaneously as lipstick and shadow. Add to this bright eyelashes - rare not in fashion, an arrow (if it is difficult to draw a wide one, mark the eyelash contour), combed eyebrows - and you will look fresh, the makeup artist advised.
Do not rush to make up freckles - they are now in trend, they are even specially emphasized
Moreover, you can add freshness, even if in the morning you do not feel rested and vigorous at all. To do this, the makeup artist recommends using a kayal pencil - but not white, but beige or pinkish, and rubbing it along the mucous membrane. Redness can be removed by applying eye drops to them - Marina assures that the redness will immediately fade. Clay or a charcoal mask will work instead of drops.
If you still haven't learned how to draw graphic eyebrows, you don't have to hone this skill - the most natural eyebrows are becoming fashionable, and to highlight the bright eye color, the eyebrows can be lightened.
At the same time, the specialist does not recommend being afraid of professional cosmetics.
The more shadows, the older the beauty looks.
"The difference between professional cosmetics and mass-market cosmetics is mainly in the saturation of the pigment. For mass-market cosmetics, a weak pigment is used so that you do not dissolve the "dirt" on your face with an inept movement. But just because of the activity of the pigment, the texture of professional cosmetics is thinner, and with it you can create makeup that will look natural. I only use professional cosmetics and it’s funny to watch how my husband’s friends teach their companions - they say, look how fresh Marina looks without any makeup, and my husband knows at this time how many hours I spent in front of the mirror with brushes in hand,”laughs the interlocutor of Sptunik …
Like metal
In the evening, you can afford the opposite of Turgenev's image - the grunge style. To do this, it is enough to add a dark shade to the lips - purple, berry, whatever you wish.
"The trend is metallic shades, they can be used both on the eyes and on the lips, at the peak of popularity are shades of silver and arrows. If you do not know how to paint yourself with shadows, it is better not to start. Focus on the skin, lips, eyebrows and blush, but do not introduce active colors on the eyes ", - the makeup artist recommended.
Modern face painting has many shapes and colors.
Marina advises women of the age to avoid bright or pearlescent shades of eyeshadows. Instead, it is better to focus on even lip makeup, and unlike eye shadow, bright lipstick is acceptable at any age.
"Smooth eyebrows, well-groomed skin and neat lips - you can do nothing else. And in no case should you draw your eyebrows with black - this is a taboo," the specialist assured.
Marina recommends that the advice of bloggers be treated with caution and take into account that makeup on Instagram may look different in real life.
“You need to be a brave person to go out for bread like that,” the makeup artist summed up.
Snow Maiden 2.0
The abundance of cosmetics has also changed the Belarusian Snow Maidens. For New Year's looks, so many textures are now offered that the effectiveness of makeup will depend only on the willingness to spend money on it.
The more shadows, the older the beauty looks.
"Fluorescent shadows, the effect of snow and ice on the skin, white eyelashes - all this is presented not only in makeup, but also in beauty makeup. For koshcheev and other evil characters, they buy a variety of bald patches, fangs, you can even paint your teeth," said makeup artists …
One of the festive makeup trends is fluorescent varnishes. Moreover, make-up artists said that neon spots can be applied to hair and even to the face.
"If theaters have almost no budgets for the purchase of professional materials, and make-up artists have to get out of it by turning to cheap Russian make-up, then make-up artists and make-up artists who work on commercial projects use a variety of products. Event workers put forward certain requests, make-up The Snow Maiden and Santa Claus must be persistent and look good in the photo. If the theater does not see how the make-up is done, it is important that it be bright and noticeable from afar, then on a commercial show the actor must look attractive, he will most likely have to work in the photo zone ", - explained the owner of the shop of professional cosmetics and make-up "Colors of the Holiday" Elizaveta Kruchenkova.
Silver eyelashes are in special demand for the New Year.
Even if you do not get to play the role of the Snow Maiden, you can find ways to make your image so bright that it will overshadow the makeup of the main character of the holiday. Makeup artists recommend paying attention to glitter tattoos that can even be applied to the ears, consider options for bright eyelashes, face painting, or simply choose an unusual mask - and you will be remembered.
