Top 5 ways to use decorative cosmetics in a non-standard way

When it comes to the work of a makeup artist, everyone imagines only the positive side of this profession associated with beauty, creativity and magical transformations. But, as with everything, there is another side to the coin. A heavy, bulky, immense suitcase of cosmetics is an integral companion of a beauty artist, who must be ready to solve any problem. Kodi Professional makeup artists tell us what to do if you don’t have the right product at hand.

Matt lipstick

Matte nude lips are still one of the most popular trends. If you don’t have the right shade of matte lipstick on hand, loose blush and lip balm will help out. You just need to mix the blush of the desired shade with a small amount of lip balm using a palette. The resulting texture is applied with a brush.

Perfect tone

Getting an even and natural complexion without a mask effect, without resorting to a product specially designed for this purpose, is easier than it seems. A classic dense tone is in the arsenal of every makeup artist. To create the perfect complexion tone, hide pigmentation and maintain the natural texture of the skin, you need to mix a classic foundation with a nourishing face cream. This will make the texture more flexible and pliable, allowing you to adjust the density of application to achieve a perfect result.

Colored arrows

If you need to draw bright colored arrows , but there is no suitable gel or eyeliner, Thinner for gel eyeliner and eyebrow pomade and colored pigment will save the day. For a consistency that is convenient to work with, just mix one drop of each product. The texture dries quickly and is fixed on the eyelid, allowing you to implement any idea with arrows.

Healthy glow

Despite the fact that the glow effect is a favorite technique of many makeup artists, highlighter is not an essential product, and its presence in a cosmetic case is often ignored. If necessary, you can get a highlighter by mixing a small amount of foundation with shimmer shadows of a suitable shade - for example, with Diamond Pearl shadows or shimmer shadows in refills. And if you mix the shadows with a nourishing body cream, you get a two-in-one effect - care and shimmering makeup for the body.

Sculpting

Sculpting is slightly inferior to other techniques, but in some cases remains indispensable. In order not to carry around sculpting tools, which may or may not be useful, some artists resort to using a regular eyeliner . In order for the pencil to be applied and shaded smoothly, it is necessary to use a makeup base as a base.

Professional decorative cosmetics can and does much more than you can imagine. Let the lack of some funds never be an obstacle for you!
