Choice of cosmetics

The fashionable technique of applying watercolor makeup provides for the right choice of a suitable face painting. This name is given to cosmetics that have a water or wax base. They are applied either with a special brush or with a sponge. As mentioned above, dry face painting is found, as well as in emulsion format. Both options are great for creative makeup.

Modern professional cosmetologists recommend applying face make-up to the skin, previously covered with a thin layer of foundation. To make the make-up more persistent, it is allowed to apply powder over the watercolor.

The main disadvantage of face painting is that its textures dry out in a short time. Because of this, any adjustments can only be made by moistening with soda. It is required to carry out such manipulations with the utmost care and accuracy.

The best for the implementation of a bold make-up is considered to be watercolor, which has a wax base.

Such cosmetic components are characterized by a soft and elastic texture. They can be shaded very easily. Due to this, watercolors can be applied not in one, but in several layers.

Matte, pearlescent and fluorescent cosmetics are suitable for creating a spectacular face painting. The latter option is one of the most popular today, because it reacts to exposure to sunlight and looks incomparable. You can apply this kind of watercolor on your own so that it looks almost transparent in daylight or electric light.

It is also permissible to apply other types of watercolor makeup to enhance the colors used, to give the colors even more saturation.

Matching shades

Face painting looks incredibly attractive and original on the face. However, in order for such a make-up to turn out to be really high-quality and aesthetic, to create it, you need to correctly select shades that match each other. Consider a few recommendations on this issue.

  • Watercolor makeup of a monochrome type, created from all the colors of the rainbow, looks very bright and expressive.
  • Combinations of colors from one triad look good. For example, it can be a juicy combination of red, orange, yellow or pink.
  • A good solution would be a delicately exposed accent on smooth transitions, which are most often found in watercolor technique. Due to this technique, it is possible to create a rainbow effect on the eyelids.
  • One of the trendiest colors suitable for face painting is yellow. It looks especially attractive when combined with a shade of fuchsia or orange.
  • If you want to give the image more romanticism, it is advisable to give preference to bright yellow-pink combinations. If the view is to be more dramatic, then an original blue-gray combination of colors will be an excellent solution.

Application technique

But you need to take into account that this color scheme will mix with black on one side, and with a snow-white shade on the other.

  • First you need to thoroughly cleanse the skin. The moving zones on the eyelids are covered with a thin layer of the base base, fixed with shadows.
  • The shape of the future makeup is carefully painted with a watercolor shade that suits the eyes. It is worth working well with a damp brush. It is necessary to create corrective arrows on the upper eyelid, connecting them with the upper folds and the lower eyelids.

  • Watercolors are tempered by about 1-2 cm.
  • Further, with a watercolor of a snow-white shade, the area under the eyebrow is summed up, the corners of the eyes are highlighted. Then they combine white and the main colors so that all lines and borders are completely invisible.
  • It is necessary to well tone down the white shade with the main color in order to get brighter scales. The lower eyelids are shaped in the same way.

  • Neat black arrows are drawn along the upper row of cilia. They should show a gradual thickening from the midpoint of the eyes towards the tail.
  • In the same way, you will need to bring the eyelids down from below. The applied parts are connected with the arrows at the top.
