Expressive eye make-up paired with bright lips - women in the East have something to learn. After all, they seem to be able to combine the incongruous.
The appearance of Iranian women changed throughout the XX century. Thus, in the 30s of the last century, they were allowed by law to give up the hijab, which was initially perceived as a humiliation, but later pushed to experiment with images (in particular, with hairstyles). At the end of the 70s, revolutionary events brought the girls back to the rigor of their clothes: without the veil and the hijab, it was impossible to go outside. By today, the demands have softened again. Most of the girls wear colored shawls, but they do not limit themselves in their makeup - bright accents are typical for traditional makeup.
IRANIAN WOMEN'S MAKEUP: WHAT IS IT?
Iranian women are used to showing restraint in their clothes, and hair is covered with a handkerchief; make-up remains the main way to draw attention to natural beauty in such conditions.
Therefore, the rule of one accent does not work here. Iranian girls are not afraid to emphasize both, because makeup is the only way for them to emphasize their individuality.
1. Eyes
In Iran, the focus is on eye make-up, trying to visually increase them and achieve maximum expressiveness. Girls do not do without a pencil Kayal, black or brown eyeliner and dark shadows, as well as mascara with the effect of volume and lengthening of eyelashes.
One of the main elements of eye make-up is a well-designed contour, both internal and external. Sometimes the stroke is complemented by arrows.
Smoke-ISE is also a popular technique, and not only in the classic gray-black version but also in color. The eyes of girls in Iran are mostly brown or nutty. Therefore, they use such shades as bronze, pink, plum, purple and brown.
With its help, it is possible to create a spectacular makeup on the red scale.
2. eyebrows
Iranian women naturally have thick and wide dark eyebrows. Following the modern trends, many try to keep them in their original form, giving them only a little more neat shape. And already expressive eyebrows in Iran are additionally painted with shadows, pencil or marker, turning them into a key element of make-up that defines the architecture of the face.
3. Lips
Intensive eye make-up in Iran does not exclude the use of bright lipstick in the same image. Popular saturated, deep shades - the color of ripe cherries, marsala, burgundy, and plum.
The desired color density is easiest to achieve with a liquid matte lipstick.
IRANIAN WOMEN'S BEAUTY LIFEHOUSE
Love for intensive make-up in Iran is combined with careful skincare. Women here often turn to their own preparation, which uses many traditional components. Among them:
1. saffron
