THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GREEK MAKE-UP
There are no strict canons on how Greek makeup should look like: girls in modern Greece paint differently. Most likely, you have an image of an ancient Greek goddess in your head - sharpened cheekbones, wide natural eyebrows, shining tanned skin, expressive eyes. We will be guided by it when creating this makeup.
THE RULES OF MAKEUP IN THE GREEK STYLE
Athena, Penelope, Aphrodite, Ariadne - choose an example to follow among those closest to you in character and image of the heroines of Greek mythology. And when preparing your makeup, follow our advice.
Face tone and contouring
As a rule, Greek girls have dark skin, which cannot be said about the majority of Russian residents. If you have porcelain or pale skin, do not try to fix it with a dark foundation. It is better to watch our video lesson on how to make a face tanned with other makeup products.
To make your face look as aristocratically sharp as in antique statues, watch another video lesson on the basics of sculpturing.
Eyebrows
In Greek make-up, eyebrows should be visible - thick and wide are only welcome. Make them slightly brighter with a pencil and fix them with transparent eyebrow gel.
But the eyebrows should look natural, so if they are thin and light in nature, you should not use a dark marker: it is better to lightly dye the hairs with shade gel.
Eyes
For Greek make-up, the shades of the "precious" range - gold, copper, bronze, silver - are perfect. At the same time, the eye makeup should remain gentle, so too dark figs are prohibited. But a light warm haze will only adorn the image: give preference to shining textures. Below are some good examples of gray, blue, green and brown eyes.
By the way, it is possible to add beautiful and unusual arrows to the Greek-style makeup, but this image will definitely fall out of the category "for every day". But for Halloween or a theme party will do the best.
Lips
Greek makeup is the case when classic scarlet or bright pink lipstick can spoil the whole thing. Create a Greek-style makeup and choose between a calm brown shade or a nude palette.
HOW DO YOU MAKE UP A GREEK GODDESS WITH YOUR OWN HANDS?
Greek make-up is a good choice for several reasons. Firstly, it looks neutral enough, so it is suitable for the office, and for a theme party (if you add it with a suit), and for the prom or New Year's Eve. Secondly, it is very easy to repeat it at home, using only the means of a basic cosmetic bag.
1. Apply moisturizing cream, make-up primer and lip balm. Wait for these products to be absorbed as they come.
2. Tone cream is quite dense texture spread throughout the face. On the skin under the eyes use a concierge. Perfect skin for Greek make-up is as much a must as any other.
3. Apply golden shadows with a strong shimmer to all moving eyelids, and fold them in a fold.
4. Highlight the lower eyelid with dark brown shadows (also with a strong shimmer). They also draw an arrow on the upper eyelid and draw a line along the growth line of the upper lashes. Slide the arrow to blur the border with the golden shadows.
5. Eyebrows accentuate with a pencil, fix the form with transparent gel.
6. Paint both upper and lower lashes with ink.
7. Use a bronzer instead of blush. Apply it according to a scheme that is more suitable for your type of face shape.
8. Apply the right lipstick to your lips. We used a shiny brown-burgundy lipstick: this will be appropriate for the evening out.
9. The Hellenistic image is not even a special makeup, but a specific recognizable hairstyle. Collect the hair in a so-called Greek roller and add a bezel or bandage.
GREEK IMAGE FOR EVERY DAY
Depending on the shades and intensity of application of makeup in the Greek style can be both festive and every day.
In summer, add more colors to the image, make a colorful eyelid makeup, add a neutral outfit and neat hairstyle to it.The braids are also perfectly matched to the makeup in the Greek style: this image can also be a casual one.Bronze makeup and Greek hairstyle are perfect for an open summer dress.
