A word from the makeup artist: the main trends of summer makeup 2019

Summer makeup is always a blast! An explosion of bright colors, creative shapes and unusual textures that allow girls to stand out, feel special, feminine and spectacular. Whether it's a music festival, a wedding, a romantic date or a business meeting, makeup must be done flawlessly, tastefully and taking into account current trends. It is about makeup trends for the summer that we will talk today with Alexander Kodak , a stellar makeup artist and the official makeup artist of Avon Ukraine.

Alexander will tell you what trends will be at the peak of popularity this summer in face, eye and lip makeup, and will also focus on the most fashionable textures, shades and techniques to inspire you with the most stylish and trendy looks. Go!

Face

Flawless healthy skin is the main trend of the season. The absence of powder and any other powdery textures on the face is what you need. We prefer cream and liquid textures to create the Glass Skin effect . A prerequisite is the use of moisturizing and caring products before applying makeup: I advise you to experiment with different oils for your facial skin. One of the main trends in summer face makeup for 2019 is draping. Makeup artists have abandoned contouring in the traditional sense and now use various shades of pink and peach to “outline” the face. Blush in pastel colors is applied to the cheekbones, the entire face, eyes and even lips. Makeup Alexander Kodak Photographer Tatyana Bundzilo

Eyes

In the Summer '19 season, one of the main accents in makeup is the eyes. I advise you to pay special attention to graphic arrows and shadows of bright colors. To create graphic arrows, you can use liners or gel eyeliners. The peculiarity of such arrows is that they are drawn along the crease of the eyelid or are torn in the style of graphic tattoos. When using bright eyeshadow colors, I recommend choosing pure shades of green, orange and blue.

Makeup artists deliberately paint eyelashes without separating them, creating the Spider Lashes effect. To achieve this result, take the most voluminous mascara and paint over your eyelashes with vertical movements, turning the brush in a spiral. Our favorite trend - classic smoky eyes in chocolate and coffee tones - does not lose ground and is used by makeup artists at all fashion week shows.

Lips

My favorite makeup accent for summer 2019 is lips! Models at fashion weeks tried on bright shades of red, while their eyes remained untouched. We apply lipstick without a pencil, maintaining a natural and even slightly unkempt contour. Glitter, lots of glitter! This season we use glitter or gold leaf to create a foil effect on the lips. To achieve it, apply a thick gloss to your lips and, using a spatula, place the potal (gold leaf) on your lips, aligning its edges with the shape of your lips. Perhaps this method is not intended for passionate kisses, but dressing your lips this way, for example, at a party, will be a win-win option! Makeup Alexander Kodak Photographer Tatyana Bundzilo
