Make-up
All eyes on me
The coming of the covid and the consequent use of the mask has radically changed our lifestyle and the way we perceive our appearance. This is because, by culture, we are not used to seeing only the upper part of the face of those around us, in fact, often and willingly, we also struggle to recognize our acquaintances who greet us on the street. For this reason, it would be important to follow some precautions to have a look that enhances our look and makes us unique despite the mask!
Taking a cue from Middle Eastern culture, famous for the beauty and intensity of eye makeup (just think of the Egyptians), here are some beauty tips for a mask-proof look:
– focus on the look: create a magnetic look by playing with eyeshadows, eyeliner pencils, and glitters! Use a primer on the eyelid to have an ultra-resistant base, then use a light color on the entire mobile part and apply it with the appropriate brush.
Choose a slightly darker matte color to emphasize the crease and blend well with a specific soft brush outwards in circular motions. For the outer corners use an even darker matte color and apply it with a smaller brush to form a V.
Don’t forget to also emphasize the lash line with a pencil or eyeliner.
Finish the look by applying primer (which strengthens and volumizes them), and lots of mascara on the lashes!
If you want to make your look even more bewitching, apply glitter on the mobile eyelid with your fingertip (acupressure allows greater adhesion of the glitter)
N.b. a good idea would be to make up your eyes before making the base so that any dust fallout can ruin our bottom!
It is mask proof lipstick: opt for liquid/matte or ultra-resistant lipsticks, remembering to first apply the pencil of the same color both on the contour and on the entire lip mucosa and a veil of powder.
Periodically use a scrub to avoid those unsightly and annoying cuticles that become very noticeable under matte lipsticks.
Always take care of the eye contour: always apply an eye contour cream suitable for your skin type and its needs, always have a rested appearance, and guarantee the makeup’s success.
Pay attention to where you apply it though: never directly on the lower or upper eyelid, but just below, on the bony part of the cheekbone and eyebrow, with circular movements using the ring finger, which is the one that exerts the right pressure to stimulate microcirculation and drain any bags, applying the greatest pressure from the inside out.
