Makeup artist-colorist Maria Tokareva specifically for mag.103.by talked about how easily make-up can turn a young woman into a tired lady at the age of "well for ...". The expert gave helpful tips on how to avoid this.
Foundation
Unfortunately, there is a problem of inconsistency of the tonal framework with the type and color of the skin. It should be remembered that the foundation should be matched to the color of the neck. Neither lighter nor darker. The skin of the face is subject to all sorts of factors, so usually its color is darker than the neck. If you are in doubt when making a purchase, it is better to take a half tone (maximum tone!) Lighter than the complexion.
Often women use a very dense dry matting base. There is nothing worse than this chalk effect. The skin, especially after 30, needs additional hydration, so it is better to use tonal creams of a liquid and light texture, creating the effect of natural fullness with moisture.
Apply tonal cream in motions with a wet sponge, and ideally with a beauty blender. Especially if the skin is peeling off - then this problem can be avoided. If you apply the foundation with your fingers, moving it up and down, you will drive it under the flaky areas, and they will become even more visible. By the way, light tonal frameworks greatly emphasize desquamation.
If you have just 2 minutes, then it is better to apply a subtle tone and refreshing blush than a mascara, a pencil or a noticeable lipstick color. Without a tone on the face it is better not to draw anything at all - there is a high probability to create the effect of untidiness.
Eyebrows
Many women try to carefully draw the base (head) eyebrows. This gives gravity to the eye, as a result, not only the eyebrows, but the whole face looks stern. And this adds a couple of years to the woman.
Another mistake - drawing a very clear dark contours. Such an eyebrow as a separate element looks expressive (for example, in the photo), but alien on the face, selfishly pulling all the attention on itself.
Also, you should not paint “houses” rigidly, if nature gives you a smooth, even shape of eyebrows.

About how to tint eyebrows. Personally, I advise you to use tint. They are good for creating a natural shape, perfectly pigmented and finely applied, leaving a lightness effect. It is good to combine medium lightness Tint (the color of the hair shade) with darker mascara for the eyebrows, which emphasizes the texture of the hairs. The texture draws attention to itself, and the tint begins to look like a shadow.
If a woman’s eyebrows are naturally good, a mascara or a transparent gel will be enough for them. If the eyebrows are thin or have few hairs, it is desirable to combine tint and mascara. I would recommend a special pen for eyebrows, which can paint on the missing hairs in certain areas, or if you are growing eyebrows.
Eyes
Unfortunately, I still observe that the fashion for mother-of-pearl gray-blue shadows will not pass. Large mother of pearl emphasizes wrinkles and irregularities, and shading in cold blue tones looks unnatural on the skin.
A wonderful effect gives a moderately warm eye makeup of medium intensity (calm brown, bronze, copper, swamp, peach, olive colors) - this is the most safe option.
For variety, you can mix with a muted wine, purple, warm pink shade on a fixed eyelid in a small amount, if there is no problem with red eyes.
It is time to replace gray shades with gray-brown ones, black mascara with black-brown ones.
For a rested look and augment the eyes, use an ivory-colored eyeliner on the mucous (not bright white!). To remove the red - shades of green.
The only point: there are women who turn yellow protein with age. In this case, in order to give freshness and return the blueness, which was in his youth, you can draw the mucous membrane with cool muted shades (emerald, deep blue, but better gray-blue). To draw such an eyeliner on the skin, I would recommend only brown shades.
When you completely lower the lower eyelid, you can not round off the line to the teardrop - so you reduce the eye and make its shape is not aesthetic.
For daytime makeup, just bring the bottom of the lower eyelid 1 / 3 at the outer edge of the eye.
Another mistake - bald spots in the area between the eyelashes. It is not necessary to paint over the eyelashes, namely the area between the eyelashes, at their base. In general, it is right to stain the mucous area at the upper lashes, but not deeply so as not to imprint on the lower mucous.
Next - avoid rigid contours. Lonely, saturated and clear eyeliner around the eye, especially black, gives age and "collapses" the eye. Use softened contours, correctly bring out the skin brown shades.
Usually after 30 years, hard arrows with a clear end is better not to draw. Choose a feather. If you really want the shooter, then make them better or with shadows, or pencil, but again, well shaded at the edge. Naturally and harmonious just looks gray-brown or brown eyeliner.
Separately, I would like to say about the "bruises" under the eyes, which women try to carefully disguise. It comes to the fact that with the help of whitening concealers they remove the blue under the eyes, creating the opposite "panda effect", reducing the eye by half. Therefore, the natural spherical shadow of the eyeball at the bottom must always be returned. This can be done with the help of light gray-brown shadows (without a reddish, otherwise you can provoke redness in the lower mucosa).
rouge
Two major mistakes are associated with blush.
The first. The use of dark corrective blush with redhead. And the problem is probably not so much in the wrong selection, as in the manufacturer. Unfortunately, most of the mass market blush is red. They can only suit you if you have dark skin of warm tone. But they are by no means for the Slavic type of appearance. On light skin such blush look foreign and add a woman a couple of years.
The second. Applying blush on the highest point of the cheekbone. And this is fundamentally wrong. This zone, on the contrary, should be lighter, for example, a highlighter can be applied here. By the way, do not apply blush to the ears.

Also, do not use blush at least without a light foundation and powder - depending on the shade, facial redness or pigmentation can be emphasized.
Choosing a rouge, pay attention to the warm pink (without a cool blue) - this is a shade-chameleon. He looks great and refreshing.
The ideal color of corrective blush is the color of the natural shadow on the face, refreshing - the blush after the bath procedures.
I do not recommend using highlight blush on the skin with dilated pores, it is better matte. You should also remember that luminous textures increase the area to which they are applied, so if you want to narrow your face, they will not always work.
In general, the more light on the face, the younger the woman looks. Therefore, I recommend to make facial correction by highlighting certain areas, and not by darkening them.
Pomade
The texture of the lipstick should not be very pearly and deaf - a few layers of lipstick on the lips give the effect of untidiness and very old.
If you like matte lipstick, you need to try to apply them with a thin layer, pre-smeared lip balm. Perfect lipstick is one that fits perfectly and refreshes even when you are not completely made up.
I recommend liquid lipsticks and tints for the lips - they require a small drop applied to the lips with a clean brush. They thinly lie down and look very profitable.
Powder
The main mistake in the use of powder - applying a large amount. And also drawing one tone of powder on all face - it does it flat.
The tone of the powder should be half a tone lighter than the tone of the foundation or transparent. Powder is applied with a light layer only on the T-zone, where it is usually necessary to level the relief and remove excess gloss.
For those who have normal or (especially) dry skin, I would recommend using powder only in summer or for extreme tone stability.
The safest option for fixing makeup - transparent transparent powder finely ground.
Some more tips from Mary:
- If you want to mask the pores, then use the pores minimizer. The tool is applied to cleansed skin before foundation.
- If we talk about makeup 35 +, then the "pinkishness" and "peachiness", which some women sometimes strive for, in no case will make you fresher. Ideally rewind in memory or look at the photo you were in 18-20 years. It is necessary to strive for the color range that naturally prevailed at this age. If there was no “peach” in you then, believe me, and now it will be inappropriate.
- Do not believe the color of the tonal color in the jar. You should understand that you will not apply it on perfectly white paper, but on a person with a certain pigmentation. Therefore, it is important to realize what the color of the foundation will be based on your skin. In general, I would recommend the selection of a tonal framework together with a makeup artist. Once zamorachitsya, then to always look well-groomed.
- Poor quality powder tends to emphasize wrinkles. Therefore, her choice should be treated carefully. What advice I can give: apply powder on the part of the hand between the thumb and index finger and see if it emphasizes wrinkles and unevenness or not. And better compare with the second brush. If you see that the difference is clearly not in favor of the area with the powder, know that on the face it will also emphasize all the flaws. If, on the contrary, it smoothes the skin, creating a soft effect, then you can take powder.
- If a woman does not know what eyeliner to buy, so that this color looks good on her, I always advise you to take gray-brown pencils for shading. It is universal.
