Simple makeup for the new year. We create a costume of the Queen of Spades for Halloween with our own hands. Tips and tricks for craftswomen. Makeup option using face painting

Greetings to all gathered today on the blog! We will discuss a non-trivial topic, but relevant in these autumn days - Halloween makeup. You can make it in a variety of ways, presenting a variety of images at the holiday.

Not everyone celebrates this holiday, but a lot of people like to stand out from the crowd. And what if not competent makeup can contribute to this?) Although in this case it is more like makeup.

I have already mentioned in passing one of the options for a scary make-up. It's time to continue the topic

Do-it-yourself Halloween makeup photo for girls and girls

Although makeup is a predominantly female occupation, but the masquerade erases all boundaries, so let's not forget about men either. However, first, we will still consider options for the weak half of humanity.

Doll

Makeup here should be not so much bright as emphasizing puppet elements: all sorts of seams, buttons, plump lips, etc.

The most important thing is to highlight the eyes. They must be large and naive. Eyebrows are also worth drawing.

As you understand, it will be difficult for guys to apply this particular type. But if you don't put pressure on the painted lips, then everything will be ok. Although I doubt that guys will want to appear as a scary ken on Halloween.

The simplest option seems to me to be such a step-by-step master class. You will need: a white base (you can use foundation), pva glue, paper napkins, eye shadows of bright colors, lipstick, dark eyeliner and eyebrows.

Using PVA, carefully apply paper napkins as in the photo.
Apply foundation (you can also powder)
Next, we use shadows and a pencil. The most important thing is to outline as large an area as possible that imitates the line of the eyes (to enhance the effect, you can fill the area under the eyes with white shadows).
Draw your eyebrows, make up your lips.

If the idea of a puppet image haunts you, and this step-by-step explanation seems too simple for you, then I advise you to watch the tutorial on doll makeup in video format:

Angel

Immerse yourself in the image of a star - become a gloomy angel for a holiday.

Cat

This look is classic, very pretty and not as intimidating as many traditional Halloween ideas. For him, you will need face painting or simple gouache. You can use the usual cosmetics like black eyeliner, shadows and mascara - this is quite enough.

Most importantly, stock up on matching ears and a choker to complete your Halloween look. By the way, in this form, you can easily play a famous catwoman. Only the costume remains to be obtained.

The second option is even easier.

In order to make makeup the most interesting, I advise you to watch this master class:

Witch

Everything is quite simple here, even napkins with glue are not needed. Prepare: black and red eye and lip pencils, white or very light makeup base, and red lipstick.

To create the effect of color transition on the lips: apply red lipstick, and in the corners of the lips - black pencil and blend.

By the way, with such a make-up, you can also make the image of a cat, mentioned earlier.

sugar skull

I already wrote about the male version of the skeleton in a previous article about Halloween costumes. And now it's time for the female version called "sugar skull". This unusual make-up came to us from a holiday related to Halloween - the Day of the Dead, celebrated in Mexico (by the way, it takes place on November 1-2, that is, almost on the eve of All Saints' Day).

For him, it is better to use not only the usual make-up products, but also masquerade face paints (available at stationery stores). By the way, in the simplest variation, this makeup can be done as a child's one.

A dead bride

It is understood, of course, not a living bride, but a corpse-bride (as can be understood from the title). The highlight of the make-up is in the black lines near the eyes, imitating deep depressions and in the black spot on the lips, applied with a pencil.

The principle of application resembles the previous options.

Do you remember Emily from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride? Makeup with her is easy to recreate if you watch this master class from YouTube:

Demon (devil)

The shadows here go beyond the boundaries of the eyebrows. After applying them, draw fiery flashes with black and red eyeliner.

Pay attention to an interesting way of coloring the Demon's cheekbones: holding a handkerchief, paint the line of the cheekbones with red shadows or blush.

Lips are painted in a witch-like way. It turns out a bright fiery devilish makeup, which is quite easy to repeat on your own.

Even cooler (and even a little simpler, except for the horns) was made a festive make-up here:

Zombie

The main emphasis in zombie makeup, in my opinion, is the characteristic spots and scars. You can make them like this: apply pva glue, as in the photo. Gently apply toilet paper on top. Paint it over with red paint and powder it. Then take a red lip gloss and highlight the hollows.

Guys can use this method too.

And to find out how to paint a face for such a body makeup, I advise you to look at this MK:

Nurse

A popular look that is easy to reproduce at home. For him, the most important thing is the entourage, which is achieved through competent makeup and various simple attributes. A medical mask and gown is enough to make you become a real scary nurse.

Focus on the lips and eyes for a complete look. Unusual lenses will also help in achieving the result.

You can see a step-by-step video of transforming into a nurse below:

Mickey Mouse (Minnie Mouse)

For Mickey's girlfriend, you will need to do a bright evening make-up with the addition of a black nose and use the heroine's traditional round ears. Don't forget to stock up on chic false eyelashes to complete your Minnie look.

If you want your face to look more like a cartoon character, then try experimenting with the arrows and pay special attention to the makeup of the lips.

And a completely different vision of Minnie awaits you in the video below. Perhaps this is the closest bow to the original.

Web (Spider Queen)

You can create this look with black eyeliner and dark shadows. With dots, mark the places through which the web lines will have to pass. From the upper eyelid, draw several cobweb lines (one to each point) at the same distance from each other. Don't forget the cross lines to complete the pattern.

You can complement the character with a pale lip gloss.

The web can be made in a slightly different way, without using the eyelid itself.

Queen of Spades

For the first version of such a Halloween makeup, it will be enough to apply white makeup and the attributes of a card ruler. Maybe you want to make a lady of hearts? Decide on the suit and boldly apply the pattern, seasoning it with sparkles or rhinestones. Underline the color of the eyes with the color of the lips.

An interesting vision of the bloody Queen of Spades is presented in this video with a detailed master class on creation.

Harley Quinn

The popularity of this character was served by the incredibly hyped film "Suicide Squad" with accompanying comics. At one time, there were even memes about Harley and Halloween on the Internet: they say that all the girls will now transform into her for this holiday. Like it or not, you be the judge, and the makeup of this young lady with a detailed description, see below.

Make-up paints will be used, in the absence of them, you can use simple gouache.

It is not surprising that Harley Quinn has made far more than one video with the creation of makeup.

Halloween makeup video at home

In the video tutorials you will see some more interesting ideas on how to make a very scary make-up: a fire maiden, a vampire and some other characters. Again, ordinary cosmetics are used for them.

Mermaid

The adorable little mermaid may not be the most familiar character for Halloween, but it is very suitable. It can be made very creepy if you wish, but I suggest paying attention to a cute interpretation of such a Halloween idea.

Ideas for the scariest men's makeup

So that guys don’t worry, here are a few rules for masculine makeup that will definitely look like makeup, and not like girlish evening makeup:

Never use mascara (only for streaks and patterns on the face)
If makeup involves making up lips, then draw fangs, evil grins, etc.
Leave the glitter for the girls. Only matte colors for you.

And here are specific ideas that you can bring to life yourself.

This article comes to an end. There is still a lot of time before the holiday, but who knows when a masquerade will happen in your life?)

See you soon! Come again!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoreva

New Year's Eve is something magical and unforgettable... the boundary between the old and the new year... How we celebrate the New Year is of great importance. Little things play an important role - clothes, jewelry, accessories, and of course New Year's makeup. Let's take a look at the make-up fashion trends that stylists have prepared for us in the year of the Red Fire Rooster, decide what make-up to do for the New Year 2017.

The symbol of the coming year is the Fire Rooster. This bird is proud and self-confident. A relaxed, bright and bold outfit would be appropriate. The same can be said about makeup. You can, without fear, use all sorts of shades and colors with various sparkles, rhinestones and bouillons.

Bright fiery shades are preferable:

red,
yellow,
orange,
golden,
burgundy,
coffee,
gold.

It is good if the color scheme of the make-up harmoniously echoes the dress or New Year's costume. But, given current trends, this is not entirely necessary. You can, on the contrary, under a delicate pastel dress, make a bright flashy make-up, which will be the highlight of the whole New Year's look.

The choice of cosmetics

For New Year's Eve, it is better to choose high-quality and persistent cosmetics. Firstly, it is important that the makeup lasts flawlessly all night. Secondly, considering dancing, dancing and, perhaps, going outside where it snows, cosmetics must be waterproof. So that the festive make-up does not drip from snowflakes or from tears of joy. It is important that the shadows do not roll, the mascara and eyeliner do not crumble, and the powder and foundation do not create the effect of a porcelain mask on the face.

Application rules: instruction

Before applying cosmetics, it is necessary to prepare the skin, acting step by step: wash your face well, refresh your face with tonic and apply a light moisturizer. If the skin is mature, it is recommended to apply a nourishing cream with massage movements or make a mask.
A good foundation will help to give a perfectly even color to the face and hide flaws. The color must be matched to the skin tone so that the makeup is natural. Apply the correct foundation along the natural contours of the face.
When the foundation is evenly laid down and absorbed a little (1-2 minutes), you need to apply powder. It is desirable to do this with a fluffy brush, so as not to overdo it and not clog the pores of the skin. With a dense layer of powder, the face will look unnatural and mimic wrinkles will appear.
After that, you can proceed to the design of eyebrows, eyes and lips. To complete, you need to apply blush and highlight the cheekbones - then the makeup will look unsurpassed and sexy.

Note! For small eyes, it is imperative to have a jet-black eyeliner, thanks to which you can visually enlarge, expand and stretch the eye, creating the effect of a sly fox look.

If you need glitter

On New Year's Eve 2017, the use of sparkles and rhinestones in makeup is relevant.

Choose two or three shades of eyeshadow that best match your eye and skin color. Apply the lightest of shades under the eyebrow. Blend the rest of the shadows from dark to light on the moving eyelid. The eyes will be more expressive if light shimmering shadows are applied to the inner corner. If you plan to apply glitter not on the entire eyelid, but with a dotted pattern, then put neat dots of petroleum jelly or cream with a cotton swab and apply glitter on top with a brush. Rhinestones will look beautiful on the tips of the eyelashes or on the eyelid along the lash line.

When applying make-up, do not forget about the eyebrows. At NY 2017, wide natural eyebrows are in fashion, which can be emphasized with a pencil and a special eyebrow brush.

New Year retro style

Retro style has been in fashion for a long time. Makeup "a la 70s" is a win-win option for any event. The main feature of retro makeup is black perfectly even elongated arrows. To emphasize the New Year theme, you can use shiny white or golden shadows under the base. It is also permissible to apply a little glitter on the arrow or decorate them with rhinestones.

Instructions for performing a retro make:

On cleansed and pre-moisturized skin of the face and neck, a light foundation is applied and covered with matte powder. The second option is to use shimmering powder, which is relevant on New Year's Eve 2017.
Blush should be as light as possible, for example, a peach shade. Bronzers and dark blush are not appropriate in this makeup.
Eyebrow shaping requires a careful approach. The lines must be perfectly straight. To do this, use dark shadows, a pencil or mascara for eyebrows.
On the eyelids, you need to apply the base as you wish and draw clear arrows. For owners of green eyes, dark lilac arrows are acceptable, and for brown-eyed ones - dark blue or green.
Lips play a huge role in retro makeup. They should be bright red or burgundy. In this case, thin lips need to be slightly enlarged with a pencil. If you add a drop of gloss to the middle of the lower lip, it will look fuller and more spectacular.

To complete the retro look, make an appropriate hairstyle and pick up a dress in the style of Marilyn Monroe.

smoky eyes 2017

Smoky smokey makeup is a good solution for a New Year's party. Firstly, this style of make-up clearly highlights the eyes. Secondly, he is able to correct the problem of small eyes or an overhanging eyelid. Thirdly, smoky allows the use of any shades, both matte and shimmery.

For high-quality smokey ice makeup, you need to circle the lower and upper eyelids with a black bold pencil, without connecting them together. Then the pencil should be smudged up and a little to the side to give the eye an elongated cat look. You can add dark shadows of any color to your makeup, and when you mix the shades, you get a bright, rich makeup.

To make a colored smokey, a primer is first applied to the eyelid. Then, with a brush, you need to add colored shadows to the outer corner of the moving eyelid and blend. After applying a slightly lighter shade of the same color closer to the inner corner of the movable eyelid and again blend with high quality. To complete, you can apply black eyeliner or dark blue (green), depending on the color scheme of the makeup.

Rainbow

This style of makeup has been in trend for several years now, and New Year 2017 was no exception. This is a bright makeup using many shades of shadows. To perform such a make-up, you need to follow the following instructions:

The base is applied to the prepared skin.
On the upper eyelid it is necessary to apply bodily shadows or powder. It will serve as a base for future makeup.
Then a white arrow is applied to the upper eyelid.
Then the arrow needs to be filled with colored shadows. Pink is applied to the inner corner, then orange, green, blue and purple.
Shadows of the corresponding shade are shaded above the arrow on the moving eyelid.
To saturate the make-up, an eyeliner is applied to the upper and lower eyelids along the contour of the growth of eyelashes.
Ink can be used black or blue.
To finish with a peach or caramel shade, lips are brought.
Don't forget blush.

Whatever makeup you choose, remember that everything should be in moderation. If you highlight bright eyes, lipstick should be light or neutral. If the eyes are not too bright, then it is worth highlighting dark or bright lips.

By eye color

Definitely, different makeup suits different eye colors. There are several optimal solutions, which will be discussed below.

Brown eyes

Owners of brown eyes can be dispersed in any color scheme. For brown eyes, yellow-brown shades with rich black arrows are perfect. Make-up in the style of "smoky ice" or "retro" is most suitable for brown eyes on New Year's Eve.

Green eyes

The task of green-eyed beauties is to emphasize naturally bright eyes. For green eyes, burgundy, copper and purple shades are the best solution. To avoid the effect of “tearful and red eyes” when using such colors, it is recommended to complete the makeup with black arrows on the upper and lower eyelids.

Blue eyes

The most correct option for highlighting blue eyes is to use blue shades of shadows with a black pencil or eyeliner. As a base for blue eyes, it is better to use a white pencil, shadows or primer. The outer corner of the upper movable eyelid is highlighted with light blue shimmering shadows. The outer corner is best emphasized in dark blue. Finally, you can draw a thin, neat arrow along the cilia growth line.

A photo

And finally, a few step-by-step photo instructions:

Halloween is the time when you can afford any make-up liberties - false eyelashes of various shapes and colors, black lipstick, sparkles, rhinestones and even colored lenses! Show imagination and talent of a makeup artist at 100%. Leading brand makeup artists have come up with some Halloween makeup ideas for inspiration.

Pierrot

It is quite difficult to repeat the makeup of the hero from Cirque du Soleil for Halloween, but you can, be guided by the photo. When drawing it, please be patient. First, we remove the eyebrows. Take regular stationery glue in a stick and apply to clean eyebrows, combing in the direction of their growth. On top, apply a dense corrector of the lightest possible color. Draw a round eyebrow shape with brown shadows or a pencil, as in the picture. Then take black shadows and blend them all over the eyelid to the painted eyebrows, and then use a felt-tip pen or a thin brush to copy the eye makeup by drawing splashes or smudges on top and bottom of the eye. To make the face more sculpted, darken it on the sides with black shadows. For lips, use a black pencil, circle their contour and shade. If you have a dark brown lipstick, then apply it on top, and then - a transparent gloss, which will provide a varnish effect.

Queen of Spades

In this image, a suit should come to your aid, namely, a special hat (for example, for swimming). Even out skin tone with foundation. Arm yourself with a black liner and draw a heart on the face. The roundness of the upper part of the heart should begin in the middle of the forehead, smoothly touching the temples and descending along the cheekbones to the chin area. Draw all areas that go beyond the heart area with purple-burgundy shadows. Apply bright blue shadows to the area of the upper eyelid, and a white pencil to the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. Draw a line of the lower and upper eyelids with black shadows, and then glue false eyelashes. For cheekbones, use cold pink blush. Outline the lips in the shape of a heart with a red-burgundy pencil and paint over them with lipstick of the same shade. In the center of the lips, put a small accent with fuchsia lipstick. A piquant finishing touch will be a mole drawn with a black pencil near the nose.

Black Raven

To repeat this makeup, you will need a black pencil and wine lipstick. First, apply foundation one shade lighter than your skin, then create dark contours all over the face using dark powder. Following the picture, proceed to the eye makeup. Make a rich version of smokey eyes, bringing it to the very eyebrows, and then draw black "tongues of flame" with a brush and creamy black shadows. Draw the lip contour with the same black pencil, and then use dark red lipstick. Add small strokes to the corners of the lips. Makeup is ready!

Spiderman's girlfriend

A PHOTO Archive of press services

The image of the Spider-Man's girlfriend is very easy to bring to life. Apply a pearlescent purple-pink eye shadow on the upper and lower eyelids to the eyebrow area and extend to the temple itself. Smudge jet black pencil in the crease and corners of the eye to add depth. Apply false colored eyelashes. Using a black felt-tip pen, draw small spiders and a web, which is the main focus of this image. You can also "plant" several spiders in a chaotic manner on the cheekbones, temples or eyebrow area. For lips, use pink lipstick, driving it in with your fingers. then take a black pencil and draw small lines that repeat the veins on the arms.

Witch

Make Up Ever

The image of a witch is the most popular Halloween makeup. To repeat it, apply a bloody burgundy shade along the crease of the entire moving eyelid and blend them to the temple. Then darken the crease in the inner part of the eye with a dark gray shade of shadows. Draw a line with black eyeliner along the upper and lower eyelash contour, draw the inner corner of the eye and draw a long graphic arrow tip. The resulting double line will give the eyes a feline cut. With bright pink blush or the same burgundy shadows, emphasize the cheekbones and sides of the forehead. To give the image individuality, draw with a liner many small dots in the inner zone of the eyes and on the cheekbones. To enhance your devilishly beautiful look, stick on false eyelashes and put on colored lenses. Draw the corners of the lips with a black pencil and blend a little towards the center, and add blood red lipstick on top.

"Night"

Make Up Ever

The image of "Night" is more artistic and creative. To start, blend the shadows of black and steel in the smoky eye technique right up to the eyebrow. Spray a special make-up fixing spray over the shadows, and then use a flat brush or a silicone sponge to apply silver sparkles. Glue long and fluffy false eyelashes on top and bottom. Using a black liner, draw lines along the sides of the face, emphasize the line of the cheekbones. The resulting lines should look like branches crawling across the face. Make up your lips with black lipstick and sprinkle with sparkles of the same shade. Fix all makeup with the same fixative spray.

Evil sorceress

For those who do not dare to do some extravagant makeup, the image of an evil sorceress in dark colors will do. Mix together moisturizer, makeup base and mattifying foundation, as well as concealer and powder. Spread the resulting texture over the face. Accentuate your cheekbones and temples with bronze eye shadow and pink blush. Apply lemon eyeshadow as a highlighter to the temple area, the inner corner of the eye and above the upper lip. This is a graphic make-up, and for its durability on the skin of the eyelids, it is necessary to use a resistant base for eye makeup. Take creamy black shadows and with a brush draw an arrow along the growth line of the lower eyelashes, bringing it at an acute angle upwards to the temples. This is the guide line for all makeup - make sure that the application of all products, especially on the cheekbones, is parallel to the resulting arrow. Line the upper and lower lash lines and the inner eyelid with the same cream shadows. Along the lower eyelid, extend the arrow at the inner corner to the bridge of the nose, forming an almost diagonal contour line. Accentuate the upper eyelid at the ciliary contour, focusing on the inner corner, softly blend the black contour with a dark gray shade of eye shadow - this will add drama to the look. Paint the lower lashes in several layers with mascara for volume. Eyebrows can be slightly muffled with concealer. Lips will be flesh-colored lipsticks. Finally, set your makeup with a reflective loose powder.

Prep your face with a moisturizer and base. Cover imperfections with concealer and foundation, then powder your face. Darken the eyebrows with a dark brown pencil and give them a clear graphic shape. As a base for eye makeup, use cream eyeshadow in black. Apply them on the movable eyelid to the crease and on the inner corners of the eyes. On top of them, gently driving in with your fingers, spread the dark gray shadows to give a smoky effect, lightly blend. On the finished smokey eyes, use cream shadows and a thin brush to mark points and lines for the future pattern. Then carefully paint over the skin inside these lines. On the other eye, glue the lashes on the outer corner and paint over with black mascara in two or three layers. For the lip contour, use a bright red matte pencil, it will serve as a good base for lipstick. Draw a heart shape in the center of the lips with a neutral shade pencil and fill it with bright purple lipstick. To give the image even more "doll" use a bright cold pink blush, distributing them on the "apples" of the cheeks.

New Year is a special holiday, a true night of magic. Naturally, every girl wants to look stunning this evening. An outfit, accessories for it are bought in advance and a hairstyle is thought out. And in the New Year's image there are no unimportant trifles, therefore, a beautiful make-up for the New Year is a task that must be approached with all responsibility.

Features of New Year's makeup

Evening make-up in itself is not as simple as it seems. It has certain rules that will allow you to look appropriate and attractive. However, makeup for the New Year is a completely different matter. On the one hand, he allows what is inappropriate on another evening, however, sometimes there are more requirements for him.

If we talk about the general principles of evening makeup, then in the New Year you should not neglect the rule of focusing either on the lips or on the eyes. That is, if you have bright active lips, then you should not apply a lot of bright shiny shadows to your eyes. Conversely, if you have bright eye makeup, then your lips should have a neutral color. It is also worth considering the whole image as a whole. Makeup for the New Year should match the style and color scheme of your outfit and not stand out from the overall image with a haircut.

Preparing for the New Year usually takes more than one day, so New Year's makeup should be started not a couple of hours before the event, but a couple of days. This means that you need to prepare the skin in advance so that it shines. To do this, treat inflammation and rashes, make a mask and peel, but resort only to sparing and previously tested procedures, because no one wants to mask the effects of an allergy or a chemical burn on their face on New Year's Eve.

Also, speaking about the features of New Year's makeup, it is worth noting the choice of color in accordance with the coming year. According to the established tradition, we want to appease the symbol of the coming year and put on the colors that symbolize it. It is appropriate to use them in make-up. So, for example, makeup for the New Year of the Rooster in 2017 meant shades of red, red, golden. But the year 2018 following it will be the year of the Yellow Dog, it is not difficult to guess what color should appear in your next festive look.

Makeup for the New Year at home - what you need from cosmetics

In order to create the perfect make-up, you will need not so many cosmetics:

A face primer is a desirable but optional item, however, it will make the face smooth, matte, cover pores and allow the tonal foundation to last longer.
Foundation - choose one that is not too thick or oily as you will have to dance and move, it will be a shame if the cream runs.
Corrective means - concealers for masking bruises under the eyes, correctors for pimples and inflammation or rosacea, in general, everything that masks point problems of the face.
Bronzer and highlighter - the sculpted face will look perfect, and highlighter highlights will give freshness.
Blush for a fresh look.
Eyeliner or eyeliner - useful for both arrows and for staining the inter-eyelash contour.
Eye shadow, pigments, glitter, plus an eye primer to make it all stick.
Volumizing and lengthening mascara, optional false eyelashes.
Shadows, lipstick, pencil or gel for coloring and styling eyebrows.
Lip liner and lipstick, better lasting, because she will be tested by food and drink.
Powder for fixing the result and matting the face.

You may also need a package of matting wipes if you have combination or oily skin, lip gloss and compact powder. Put all this in your purse to fix your makeup at the party.

New Year's makeup tools

In addition to the actual cosmetics, you will have to revise your tools, because it will be a shame if you have nothing to apply this or that product during the makeup process. Of course, you can do a lot with your fingers or help yourself with a cotton swab, but for an ideal result, you need at least a minimum of tools.

First, a good mirror, preferably with backlight. Choose a place at home in advance where the lighting is sufficient for applying makeup. Prepare a milk or make-up remover and cotton pads and buds in case you need to touch up something. And finally, the most important thing - brushes. There should not be many of them, but here is the minimum necessary to create makeup for the New Year:

Brush or sponge for foundation and bronzer.
Several brushes for the eyes - thin for eyeliner, dense wide for applying shadows, soft fluffy for blending.
Short angled brow brush.
Fluffy soft brush for blush and highlighter.

On the eve of the holiday

As we have already noted, preparation for the New Year's makeup should begin at least the day before. Do a peeling to remove dead cells of the epidermis, and then a caring mask. The ideal choice is moisturizing, thanks to this mask, the face will be fresh and radiant. Do not forget about the eyes - for a clear look, special masks in the form of patches for the eyelids are suitable.

It is also better to pluck your eyebrows the day before and color them if you do it with permanent paint. Don't leave your eyebrow shaping to the last minute.

Also do a peeling for the skin of the lips. This is a rare procedure, but in winter our lips are often in poor condition, and in order for lipstick to lie flat, they must be perfectly smooth.

Choosing eye makeup

So, all the preparations are over, time to create. But what kind of makeup to do for the New Year, because there are so many options? We advise you to start by choosing the color of the eye shadow. And the easiest way to choose a shade based on the color of the eyes themselves.

So, brown, golden warm shades are suitable for owners of brown eyes. With them, you can create an interesting non-standard smoky eye or smoky makeup using translucent powdery shadows with large gold or bronze shimmer.

Makeup for the New Year for green eyes may include reddish metallic shades (copper, bronze), they set off the color of the eyes, making it deeper. But red shadows can create an ugly effect of teary eyes, to avoid it, do not apply shadows directly to the lash line. Separate the color with black arrows or a pencil. Suitable for green-eyed and green color - bright, rich, with large sparkles - such a make-up for the New Year for green eyes is an ideal choice.

For blue eyes, retro-style makeup with expressive arrows, as well as all shades of blue and blue, are suitable, feel free to choose deep rich tones and do not be afraid of shine - it is appropriate on New Year's Eve.

smokey eyes

This eye makeup for the New Year will suit any look. In addition, smokey eyes will help those who have small eyes or an overhanging eyelid.

With a dark kajal or soft pencil, bring the lower and upper eyelids, and then blend the pencil with a brush so as to stretch the color to the moving eyelid and to the temples. Shading is also required on the lower eyelid. Then, shadows of a dark shade can be added to the pencil, but not necessarily black. Take a brown or a deep blue and blend it onto the eyelid, stretching it towards the temples to create a beautiful cat-eye effect.

In this case, active eyes are present in the makeup, so the lips should have the most neutral tone. So choose a nude lipstick and add some sheer gloss.

Makeup ideas for the New Year in retro style

This is a very sexy and bold image, despite the seeming simplicity. All you need is the perfect complexion, perfectly defined black eyeliner and the perfect shade of red lipstick. In this combination lies the whole point.

First, prepare your face. The foundation should make the skin smooth, velvety and radiant. Do not use a dark tone, the skin should be porcelain. Also, do not use glitter, only satin glow. Blush soft, beige, slightly pinkish and no bronzer!

When the tone is ready, tint the eyebrows, it is better to make them clear and graphic. But do not make them too bright, choose a tone that is close to natural.

The line behind the arrows - with a liner or eyeliner, start drawing a line from the inner corner of the eye, smoothly and clearly leading it to the outer corner. The arrow can be quite long and wide, because this is an evening make-up for the New Year. The final touch is the lips. In retro style, they are necessarily bright, red and eye-catching.

bird of paradise

This beautiful make-up for the New Year implies a riot of colors and their most daring combinations. For example, take bright shades of lilac and gold, green and blue, even pink or orange. To begin with, with a darker color of the shadows, outline the contour of the moving eyelid and blend it under the eyebrow, stretching it to the temples.

Then fill the moving eyelid with a lighter shade of shadows with the addition of glitter. Bring the lower eyelid with a wide arrow of a bright contrasting color, blend it towards the temples. Long false eyelashes are suitable for such a bright make-up, on the tips of which small rhinestones can be glued.

In all the splendor

As many sparkles as possible - this is the rule of this makeup. To make your eyes more radiant, use eyeshadow instead of eyeshadow. Choose a few shades with large glitters or a metallic shade. Apply a light tone to the inner corner of the eye. Dark shadows are superimposed on the outer corner and blend well for the effect of almond-shaped eyes. In the middle of the moving eyelid, you can apply a gold pigment. The main thing - there should not be a sharp transition of color, instead of it - a good shading of shades.

To add even more shine, you can use false rhinestones that can be glued under the eyebrow, on the eyelashes or on the moving eyelid.

Ombre lips

If you want to focus your makeup not on the eyes, but on the lips, then the trendy ombre effect is what you need. It will make lips attractive, sexy and visually plumper.

To do this, powder your lips or apply a primer on them, circle the contour with a pencil. Apply a lighter red lipstick all over your lips, and then use a brush to apply a darker cherry lipstick, first around the edges, and then blending it closer to the center. However, the very middle, the place where the lips meet, should be left lighter, and the corners of the lips should be the darkest and most saturated. In this case, the shading of shades should be smooth.

Despite the fact that in our country Halloween began to be celebrated recently, many managed to fall in love with this holiday. After all, only on the night of the first of November you can try on the most incredible images: a witch, a vampire, a skeleton.

If you want to be original and appear at a party in an unusual way, you should try to create the image of the Queen of Spades. This creature is quite mystical, so this image is perfect for Halloween.

You can buy a costume for a sinister image ready-made, or sew it yourself. And what should be the makeup of the Queen of Spades for Halloween? You can come up with a lot of themed make-up options. Photo images created by professional make-up artists can be taken as a basis, and then act at your own discretion.

To begin with, consider the simplest version of makeup, for the creation of which special means are not used, the most ordinary cosmetics will be enough.

To create an image, it is worth using two primary colors - black and white. You can also add red if you like.

How to create makeup? Here is a step by step description of the process:

apply a moisturizer to your face, let it soak in, and blot it with a paper towel;

concealer is used to mask skin defects and dark circles;

we impose a tone, you can use your usual shade or take a lighter one so that the face looks “porcelain”;

take a blush of a bronze shade and apply on the sides of the forehead, wings of the nose, the central part of the chin. We draw in the cheeks, and apply blush into the formed "dimples";

powder the face with loose powder;

Makeup option using face painting

If it is possible to use face painting, then our lady of spades can turn out to be very effective. The choice of makeup complexity depends on the availability of artistic abilities.

First option:

apply the foundation, then the tone and powder the face;

paint one eye using white and black shadows;

on the second half of the face, using black gel eyeliner, draw a life-size contour of a playing card, the upper edge of our card will be located above the eyebrow, the lower one - in the middle of the cheek. Let the eyeliner dry;

now with a brush we apply white face painting inside the outline of the drawn map, applying the product to the eyelids as well. On our impromptu card, in two corners located diagonally, we draw with gel eyeliner the sign of the suit of spades and the letter “D”, as on a real card;

it remains to shape the lips. They can, as in the first version, be made in the shape of a heart, or you can simply apply lipstick without deviating from the natural contour of the lips.

Second option more complex, but also more effective, so it's worth trying. Execution instructions:

even out skin tone;

we arm ourselves with a liner with a gel eyeliner and carefully draw a silhouette of a heart on the face. The hollow of the upper part of the "heart" should be located in the center of the bridge of the nose, then we draw a rounded line above the eyebrow through the temple along the cheekbone and cheek and lead to the center of the lower part of the chin. Similarly, draw a line on the second side, connecting it at the bottom with the first. Eyeliner color can be black, brown or golden;

the inside of the contour is painted over with white face painting, let it dry;

Let's move on to the eyes. We make black thick eyebrows, their shape should follow the contour line of the heart drawn on the face;

we apply blue shadows on the moving eyelids, draw wide arrows with gel eyeliner, you can additionally use sparkles;

thickly paint eyelashes with mascara, which gives volume, or use false ones;

outline the natural contour of the lips with a pencil of natural or black color, apply bright red lipstick with gloss;

on the cheek we draw a fly in the form of a sign of a card suit.

A black wig will complement the image of the Queen of Spades, as well as a manicure in white and black.
