Express makeup before and after. Express makeup: what is it and how does it differ from regular makeup

For most girls, makeup in 5-7 minutes is like a unicorn - something fabulously beautiful, but unrealistic. But since almost all girls are sure that how others perceive them depends on their appearance, few of them leave the house without makeup. And therefore, representatives of the fair sex are ready to spend many hours in front of the mirror, bringing their natural characteristics to the ideal or trying to at least get closer to it. However, in every girl’s life there are situations when there is no time, but you need to look perfect. In such cases, express makeup comes to the rescue.

This procedure usually takes no more than ten minutes. To carry it out, a minimum of decorative cosmetics is required - a modest set of mascara, blush in natural tones and lip gloss with a shade close to natural is quite enough.

If you have extra free minutes, then it would be a good idea to spend them on creating an even tone for your face - after all, beautiful skin decorates it much better than expensive lipsticks and glamorous eye shadows.

Express makeup rules

Many women have to do express makeup right in the morning, before going to work. At the same time, such items as cleansing and moisturizing the skin are under no circumstances canceled, no matter how much time is pressed for, otherwise there will be no use in applying decorative cosmetics to the face. It is advisable to moisturize your facial skin with a toner, which will give it a rested look, and then nourish it with a daily moisturizer.

If you need to do express makeup during the day or evening, just refresh your face with tonic or thermal water spray, and then use decorative cosmetics. Light and natural tones are preferred. Dark and saturated colors are usually not used; they require careful and lengthy shading. In addition, dark and flashy tones are not at all appropriate during the day with casual clothes, but at the same time, the natural tone looks great even with a luxurious evening dress.

Subtleties of express makeup

In express makeup, neither pencils nor eyeliners are used, since in a hurry it is impossible to draw clear and neat lines with them. Experiments with textures are undesirable; it is best to use familiar and favorite cosmetics. Dry textures are the easiest to apply and blend.

The goal of express makeup is to obtain fresh color and a filigree oval of the face, and it also implies an open and clear look, seductive lips and a clear eyebrow line.

Rules of good manners

Foundation for express makeup should be as light as possible - so that it can be quickly applied and spread effortlessly over the entire surface of the face. It does not create a mask effect and looks very natural and natural. As a rule, the secret of this “invisible” tone is that it is applied to the face using a sponge, which must first be moistened with water. It will be perfectly complemented by compact blush that has a light tan or so-called peach color. If you want to create a romantic look, then it is recommended to apply blush to the very “apples” of your cheekbones, and if you want to create a sophisticated and mysterious look, then apply it a little lower. Do not apply blush with a brush that is too large; it is more suitable for powder.

Brows

When applying express makeup, stylists recommend taking eyebrow pencils in gray-beige, brown or “eggplant” colors. You can draw your eyebrows evenly and beautifully only with perfectly sharpened pencils, otherwise the drawing will turn out “dirty” and blurry.

Eyelashes

It is absolutely not necessary to apply mascara in several layers - just swipe the brush several times, not forgetting about the lower eyelashes. If you don’t have mascara that gives volume in your cosmetic bag, ordinary loose powder will save the situation. It is carefully sprinkled on the eyelashes, and then mascara is applied. This “tricky” technique allows you to make your eyelashes thicker and fluffier.

Lips

The final touch to express makeup is lip gloss or lipstick in a natural shade; there is no need to outline your lips.

Prepare your sleigh in summer...

You can do everything in this life if you want. If the need for express makeup has become daily (or every morning), then it is advisable to prepare for this sprint in the evening: choose clothes, shoes and cosmetics that match the planned look. And in the morning all that remains is to apply makeup.

It's hard to study...

Training in this matter is crucial. Only with experience comes both the correct technique for applying express makeup and the speed of its implementation. Only by improving your skills every day can you achieve automaticity in drawing each line and applying mascara to each eyelash.

On your marks! Attention! March!

The fastest express makeup will take 7 minutes. Time has passed!

• Tone - 2 minutes. Using foundation, camouflage pencil or concealer, apply several dots to the eyelids. Quickly and carefully distribute the product so that it is absorbed into the skin. To avoid streaks and stains, apply foundation with a damp sponge. It’s better to start from the middle of the chin, then the cheeks, but also the forehead.
• Eyes - 3 minutes. For express makeup, shades of pastel and light colors are preferred. They are easier to apply and do not require careful blending. Feel free to apply shadows all over the eyelid, shade them a little under the eyebrow, and also highlight the inner corners of the eyes with a light pearlescent pencil. Use a smoky pencil to line your eyes along the lash line. Express makeup requires minimal application of mascara with a volume effect.
• Blush and lipstick - 2 minutes. We smile broadly and apply a little blush to our cheeks, blending them well with a wide brush. Apply gloss or lipstick to your lips.

With the beginning of the new business season, we associate many plans. Having the right beauty look will also help you stay on top and successfully build a career.

September easily and imperceptibly immerses us in a busy work rhythm, beckons us to new heights in our studies and careers. What helps us achieve success is not only perseverance in achieving goals and polishing our professional qualities, but also the right image, radiating elegance and self-confidence. What kind of makeup goes with business-style clothes? How to avoid beauty mistakes when creating an office look? And how to observe perfume etiquette? We study all these subtleties together with beauty experts: training manager, makeup artist from Sisley Natalia Abramova, International Makeup Artist for Estee Lauder Eric Indikov And Yulia Bogatyr, make-up artist at the Mille Fey beauty salon.

Lady number one: beauty lessons from the stars

In our opinion, when looking for ideas for creating flawless office makeup, you can safely look to such beauties as Olivia Wilde, Olivia Palermo, Miranda Kerr, Diana Agron, Charlize Theron and Jessica Chastain.

Thus, Miranda Kerr's makeup, with which she appeared at the David Jones Spring/Summer 2012/2013 show in Sydney in mid-August, is appropriate not only on the catwalk, but also in everyday life. In addition, this look suits all color types and meets the fall 2012 makeup trends.

The author of the image, makeup artist Napoleon Perdis, suggests that we focus on the lips with matte cherry-red lipstick, and highlight the beauty of the eyes with light pastel shades. Transparent complexion tone, softly defined eyebrows and widely shaded blush of a terracotta shade... - all within the framework of the fall 2012 trends.

Office makeup: “recipes” from makeup artists

What makeup techniques, shades and textures of decorative products are a must-have for daytime makeup, ideal for work and school? Let the experts speak.

Eric Indikov, international makeup artist for Estee Lauder

Eric Indikov:“The main principle of business makeup is no seductiveness. It's less about bright colors and more about texture. In business makeup, I advise you to exclude shiny and pearly textures.”

“The ideal office makeup is a variation of natural daytime makeup, but with certain accents,” adds Natalia Abramova. – That is, if when we come to work, we, real women, must please the eyes of those around us, then we should not completely abandon expressive shades and interesting textures. The most important thing, as with any makeup, is to emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws, or at least distract attention from them.”

“Makeup for the office primarily depends on the office itself: the scope of activity and the unspoken rules of behavior in a particular industry,” continues Yulia Bogatyr. – If we are talking, for example, about the fashion industry, then creativity and brightness are welcomed there. If we are talking about the average office format, then the makeup should be discreet, classic and not provocative. It’s worth using a neutral palette for the office – shades close to natural, the overall range is non-contrasting.”

Yulia Bogatyr, makeup artist at the Mille Fey beauty salon

Yulia Bogatyr: “The fashion trend now is naturalness. The more natural the format of the overall image and make-up as well, the more attractive it is. Therefore, you should pay special attention to the healthy appearance of your skin and proper color correction of tone, for which it is best to use products in brown tones and light beige. To even out skin tone and distribute accents on the face, powder and concealer should be integral components of an office cosmetic bag. A bronzer will also help to give a natural tan effect. As for blush, tan and bronze blush is appropriate to highlight the cheekbones. It’s better to emphasize one thing with color: highlight the area of ​​the lips or eyes.”

Natalia Abramova:“The complexion must be flawless, so you must use foundation, correctors and powders.”

Eric Indikov: “The most important thing in any makeup is complexion. The main task is to choose the right cream powder (it should match your natural skin tone as accurately as possible) and blend it thoroughly. The finishing touch is a little weightless loose powder.”

Natalia Abramova, makeup artist at Sisley

Natalia Abramova:“If you want to focus on your eyes, then just use a smoky shade of eye shadow in combination with black or dark brown eyeliner and mascara, and don’t forget to highlight the eyebrow line. In this case, you can apply only a gloss of a soft pastel shade to the lips, and add a barely noticeable highlight of blush to the cheekbones.”

Eric Indikov:“I recommend choosing a matte, semi-matte or silky shadow texture, without glitter or pearlescent. It is better to choose calm, neutral colors: beige, brownish, olive, gray - from light ash to deep graphite, black-blue and purple. I recommend not using mascara with the effect of spider legs or overly dramatic volume, as this gives the look a languid and sexy look, which is inappropriate for the office. And one more thing: after lining your eyes with eyeliner, be sure to work the space between the eyelashes with a pencil of the same shade.”

Yulia Bogatyr:“In eye makeup, you can carefully draw the interlash contour (instead of bright arrows) to create the effect of an “open eye,” use light shadows without strong contrast, delicately highlight the eyebrows with a pencil (it is important not to overdo it, since brightly emphasized eyebrows, especially thin ones, give aggressiveness in appearance).”

Natalia Abramova:“If the emphasis is on the lips, then it is better to choose a moisturizing long-lasting lipstick, which can be combined with a gloss of a richer shade, and make the eyes, on the contrary, delicate, using only a light shade of eyeshadow with a satin effect, gray or brown pencil eyeliner and very little mascara. Emphasizing the eyebrow line and applying a little blush is also necessary for this makeup option.”

Eric Indikov:“You can safely wear red lipstick to the office, but its texture should be matte or silky. Tip: Excess moisture or the pearlescent shine of lipstick can be muted by powdering your lips with a tissue after applying lipstick.”

How to make daytime makeup more durable?

You want to preserve the beauty and freshness brought on in the morning throughout the day. What do makeup artists advise to extend the life of everyday makeup?

Yulia Bogatyr:“Since a standard working day is about 8–9 hours, it is better not to use heavy products (foundation) - otherwise by the evening your appearance will leave much to be desired. Your lifesaver is a light texture powder (with a brush), which will always help you touch up your makeup throughout the day. As for special napkins, I don’t recommend using them often. The wipes will help remove excess sebum, but at the same time remove the makeup itself.

To preserve your makeup for a long time, it is important to use a makeup base. It is available in various textures, so you can choose the one that suits your skin best (tonics, creams, etc.). The makeup base improves the condition of the epidermis and prevents third-party microparticles (for example, dust) from penetrating into the skin. It turns out to be a kind of protective film. When applying products from the next stage (tone, powder), they remain on the surface. It turns out that the makeup is fixed not “from the outside”, but “from the inside”. The makeup base is applied after standard cleansing and care.

It wouldn't hurt to have a bottle of thermal water on your desk. In an office environment where there is little oxygen and air conditioning, it is very advisable to use thermal water two to three times a day directly on makeup. It refreshes, oxygenates, improves the appearance of the skin, and also sets and maintains makeup.”

Be careful, it's too much! Office makeup mistakes

So, we have already understood that business makeup should be restrained and neutral, and those who like bright touches in their image are allowed to wear red lipstick. At the same time, makeup artists recommend avoiding club smoky eyes, intense winged lines, and thick eyeliner. What else should you give up to be comme il faut?

Natalia Abramova:“In office makeup, a combination of excessively bright colors, multi-color transitions and tints, as well as the use of sparkles, rhinestones, feathers and other excesses is unacceptable. But “zero” makeup will not always be appropriate - the lighting in offices is most often bright and cold, which mercilessly emphasizes the pallor of the skin and highlights its imperfections. Such lighting can completely ignore invisible makeup and turn its owner into a tortured office mouse, which, you see, will be very offensive.”

Yulia Bogatyr:“It should be remembered that matte textures with glitter and pearl add an evening edge to makeup, which is not suitable for the office. Red lips are not an office look, but an evening or weekend look. But again, depending on the situation, this option may be applicable (for example, if you are a boss and want to emphasize your status). Also, overly bright shades of eye shadow (blue, pearlescent), bright lips, flashy pink blush are inappropriate for the office.”

Fragrances for the office: perfume etiquette

The founder of the perfume brand, Jo Malone, once said that the ideal perfume for the office is the aroma of a snow-white, freshly ironed shirt, applied not in the classic way (on the neck or around you - and “enter the cloud”), but on the body. This way you feel the aroma and it improves your mood without disturbing others.

For work, “light” eau de parfum or unobtrusive perfume with notes of citrus and greenery are appropriate. Overtly sexual, heavy, cloying, provocative scents, no matter how expensive they are, are, of course, best left for the evening.

What kind of makeup for work or school do you like best? And what techniques and palette, on the contrary, irritate you and look, in your opinion, very inappropriate in a business setting? What perfumes do you consider neutral for work? Share your opinions - we are still awarding a prize for!

A woman always wants to look charming, but, unfortunately, sometimes there is not enough time, and this is where express makeup comes in handy. Just a few seconds, and with the wave of a magic wand, Cinderella will turn into a real princess.

Waking up in the morning, the man washed his face, brushed his teeth, got dressed, had breakfast and went to work. It’s hard to wake up and then get ready. Why does work only start so early? A woman, unlike a man, has the same tasks, only to add to them: wake up her husband, prepare breakfast, make the bed, put on makeup, have breakfast and go to work. And, if there are children, then also wake up the children, feed them and send them to school. It is difficult under such circumstances to have time to do beautiful and high-quality makeup.

What is makeup

Makeup from the French word maquillage is the application of decorative cosmetics to the skin.

But makeup is not just about drawing eyebrows, putting on lips, etc. – this is creativity! Modeling, correction of shape and color. Good makeup should highlight the beauty of the face, and should be natural and unnoticeable. With proper application and proper removal of makeup, the vital processes of the skin are not disrupted.

Quick day makeup

Makeup is not something that likes to be rushed, but when necessary, you can do express makeup: quickly and beautifully.

Advice

Always keep ice cubes in the freezer. They will always help you out! Cubes of tea, mineral water with lemon juice.
So, when we woke up and looked at the clock, we realized: time was catastrophically short. No panic! Nerve cells are not restored! Why lose them? A woman is only a woman because she has a brain! And even Archimedes would envy his ingenuity!
The first thing you need to do is tone your skin. This is where contrast washing comes to the rescue. What is this? Alternately wash with hot and cold water. Next, you need to take an ice cube out of the freezer and wipe your face and neck with it.
Now you can apply moisturizer to your skin. And with light movements of your fingertips, “drive” it into the skin. It is necessary! Blood will begin to circulate faster and, therefore, the cream will be absorbed into the skin faster.

If there are circles under the eyes

If you look at yourself in the mirror and see dark circles under your eyes or redness, you will have to take an extra 30 seconds. Yes, it will take only 30 seconds to disguise them with a special concealer - concealer.

Concealer – corrector, concealer.

The concealer is applied very carefully under the eyes without stretching the skin.
After this, apply a little cream powder to the face and blend it all over the face.

Making the look more expressive

How to make your eyes expressive? You need to apply matte shadows of a light shade to the upper eyelid. Next, you need to walk along the eyelash growth line with an applicator with shadows of a darker shade.
Beige and brown are the most universal color combination for express makeup. These shades are natural and suit almost everyone.
Applying one layer of brown or black mascara to your eyelashes is enough.

Making your face fresh and attractive

Translucent loose powder will help give your face a beautiful matte shade. The powder can be applied with a wide brush. After applying the powder, you should apply blush.

How ? Pinkish-brown blush looks fashionable and natural.
Those with a narrow face should apply blush on their cheekbones, while those with a wide face should apply blush under the cheekbones. Blend the blush with light movements; correctly applied blush will make even the quickest makeup look attractive and fresh.

Final stage

the final stage of express makeup for all occasions. The main rule when choosing lipstick: the color of the lipstick should be a tone different from the shade of your skin color. In this case, the lips will not merge with the face. You can paint your lips in a neutral shade: brown or pink.
Use a matte pencil to define the lip contour. If you use a pencil half a tone lighter than lipstick, your lips will look fuller.

Makeup, what is it?

In this case, express makeup comes to the rescue. 10 minutes are enough for Cinderella to turn into a princess as if by magic.

This procedure will not take much time and a minimum of cosmetic products will be required. Girls will need standard mascara, powder, blush and natural lip gloss. But if the skin has imperfections in the form of acne, scars or age spots, it is recommended to spend a little more time and create an even complexion. This will give the woman a well-groomed look and emphasize her natural attractiveness. Beautiful and well-groomed skin looks much better covered with expensive powders.

The word “makeup” has French roots and means applying cosmetics to the skin. But applying makeup is not only about drawing eyebrows, eyelashes and lips, it is real creativity that requires modeling and adjusting color and shape. Good make-up emphasizes facial features, it is unnoticeable and natural. It is important to correctly apply and remove decorative cosmetics from the face so that the vital processes of the skin are not disrupted.

Day makeup in 5 minutes

Creating an image for the day will require a lot of effort and spend a lot of time. But sometimes women are in a hurry, and quick makeup comes to the rescue, which is beautiful and attractive, no worse than others.

It is important that the skin is toned. To do this, it is recommended to stock up on ice cubes from tea, mineral water or chamomile decoction. A contrast wash is enough to tone the skin. To do this, you need to alternately wash with hot and cold water, and then wipe your face with the frozen solution.

After this, a base or foundation is applied to the skin. Down with the brushes! With light patting movements of your fingers, the cream is driven into the skin. This speeds up blood circulation and cream absorption. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, the result will live up to your expectations.

• Circles under the eyes

If women have dark circles under their eyes and they look inflamed, an additional half minute of time will be required. To disguise skin imperfections with concealer, you don’t need to have any special talent. Don't know what concealer is? This is a common concealer intended to disguise minor imperfections on the face. Apply the concealer carefully, without stretching the skin around the eyes. Apply a small layer of cream powder on top of the concealer.

• Expressive look

Express makeup does not tolerate accents, especially on the eyes. But how to make the look more open and expressive without drawing saturated arrows? To do this, just apply light matte shadows to the upper eyelid. After that, dark shades are applied to the eyelash line.

The most suitable duet of tones is considered to be beige and brown. This is the most optimal combination of shades, which provides express makeup. Such natural and discreet shades will suit all girls without exception.

Complete your eye makeup with brown or black mascara applied in one layer. It is important not to overdo it with highlighting the eyelashes so that the image does not turn out artificial. Moreover, daytime makeup does not tolerate false eyelashes.

• Refresh your face

Translucent loose powder will help give your facial skin a beautiful matte shade. Due to its consistency, it does not clog pores, leaving the skin smooth and even. Blush is applied over powder. Express makeup involves the use of fashionable pinkish-brown blush. They will preserve the pristine naturalness and attractiveness of the face.

It is important to follow the rules for applying blush. So, owners of a narrow face apply blush to their cheekbones, and wide-faced beauties are recommended to apply the brush under their cheekbones. Blush is applied with light movements. This will turn a quick make-up into a fresh and attractive one.

• Decorating lips

The final stage is applying gloss or lipstick to the lips. The main rule is that the shade of lipstick should differ from the natural color of the skin by a tone. This will highlight your lips, but not make them a bright spot. Brown or soft pink neutral shades are also suitable.

Express makeup allows you to use a contour pencil, which should give clarity to the natural contour of the lips. You can increase the volume of thin lips using a pencil that is half a tone lighter than lipstick. As a result, you will get a well-groomed face with a minimum of makeup and emphasized facial features.

Create an evening look based on daytime makeup

According to tradition, after work a woman goes home. But life is full of unpredictable moments, and sometimes going to the theater or a party becomes a surprise. What if you don’t have time to remove daytime makeup, but don’t have time to apply evening makeup? In this case, express makeup comes to the rescue again. It’s not difficult to make a quick make-up; just take the advice of professional makeup artists.
