Makeup games

From season to season, experimenting with the mood in makeup, makeup artists offer new solutions. However, the era when only makeup artists set trends in makeup remained in the early 2000s: in our time, the individual beauty of a girl triumphs. Street style dictates that expressing yourself through clothes and makeup is the norm, the main thing is self-confidence. White Converse paired with a linen dress with small flowers under a rough black jacket is no longer a challenge; wearing red lipstick for a walk is no longer the preserve of the brave. Everyone plays by their own rules, and I reveal to you my trump cards in the game with makeup for the summer 2019 season. The move is yours!

Layered arrows

The graphics in the makeup straightforwardly show the girl’s character, and the multi-layered lines tell about my heroine’s plans in detail - from the reason for the meeting to the amount of time to get ready for the evening promenade. Your client’s friends at the bachelorette party will definitely come to discuss half an hour of effort on scrupulous symmetry. Therefore, confuse them in this game even more by giving preference to makeup with complex lines.

Orange lips

Red lips more than half a century ago were a sign of niche beauty, but today red or scarlet, candy pink or carrot have become accessible, and every girl has the right to decide which color to choose and wear. Modern makeup will be characterized by a complex orange color against a clean face, which will definitely emphasize the warmth of the skin in summer.

Sun-kissed skin

I propose to use a technique without contours, without much sharpness in sculpture, but, on the contrary, look at the palette of the 90s and apply it to create “transparent” makeup. Metallic bronze eyes, terracotta ruddy cheeks or wheat field freckles - this is your fashion game, you decide what the next move in the makeup game will be.
