Summer makeup with Elena Krygina. Day makeup secrets from Elena Krygina

3 years ago

Everyone clucked, which is a lot. What is a lot? Have you ever held in your hands what the makeup artist uses? Liquid primer - water, aero application - in general, there is no lighter and thinner layer, even the most liquid and transparent tint, transparent powder - not powder at all, but the smallest transparent dust, locally concealer - this is not discussed at all in summer, it is necessary to protect the skin around the eyes, the heat did not cancel it (if there is something to correct), blush and highlighter are applied locally, and again, the heat is not a reason not to use them. Who ever said that if it's hot, then the face should be naked, otherwise slow death? It will not be possible to apply one tint on the face and shine, matte, hide. What are you talking about? If we talk about everyday summer makeup at +40, then this is BB, concealer, cream blush and EVERYTHING! No glitter, shadows and eyebrows, because everything will flow. Either don't sneak at all, or don't show up. Be consistent in your reasoning. And then we don’t tint the skin, we leave bruises and pores, but we paint the eyes and lips ... Home makeup artists, get yourself at least these products, learn how to use them, and then talk about plasters.

Over the past few years, from an ordinary beauty blogger with her Youtube channel, Elena Krygina has managed to turn into a real businesswoman. Her own beauty studio, an online store, on-site master classes and, finally, the first make-up desktop book - Lena proved to spite all skeptics what can be achieved by being a true fan of her craft.

“I can't live without foundation - it's something I use every day. Also, I cannot imagine my life without blush and eyebrow products. It seems to me that if these three points in makeup are completed, everything else is not so important. When it comes to care, you can’t do without a high-quality moisturizing face cream and nourishing body oil. Without all these products, I feel terribly uncomfortable. Speaking of what I use this moment, are Guerlain Lingerie de Peau foundation, Maybelline volumizing brow gel, Benefit blush and Glamglow moisturizer.

The book "Makeup" is a guide that contains different types appearance and suggested options on how to make each of them even more beautiful and expressive with the help of a make-up. Like a mosaic, in this book you can assemble any face by choosing the most appropriate makeup techniques. There are not superficial questions about how to apply green eye shadow or red lipstick, but it is suggested detailed instructions how to learn to understand your face and how to find your own make-up algorithm. That is the main purpose of my first book.

Secret perfect makeup- in accuracy and strict observance of proportions. Accuracy is needed so that the makeup, in principle, looks neat: there are no crumbling shadows, worn areas, busting with foundation- everything should be very evenly and softly shaded. Proportions are lines. For example, if you draw a perfectly straight line when creating eye makeup, then round eyebrows will clearly go against them - all lines should be parallel.

Among the most common mistakes in daily care I will call the lack of comprehensive care. There is no need to expect any miracles from an expensive cream if you use it every other time and do not approach the issue systematically, that is, you do not take the entire line. Still, manufacturers expect that you will use the range completely, so one cream, in principle, cannot be enough, and even with occasional use.

One of the key trends of the spring-summer 2017 season is makeup in one shade, when the makeup of the eyes, lips and cheeks is made in one color scheme and ideally the same product. This technique is called “draping”, and it came back to us straight from the 70s. Its essence is in the correction of the oval of the face with the help of blush: in the most extreme cases, the product can move from the cheeks to the temples, and in eye makeup, to the side surfaces of the forehead. This trend can be easily traced in the make-up of David Bowie or Grace Jones. Today, this technique is relevant again.

From the 90s, metallic lipsticks and shadows with a pronounced metallic effect have returned to us. Carrot-matte lips are also well traced through the season. Plus bright elements and pure colors without impurities with strokes or graphic elements: for example, hard, broken arrows are necessarily some neon shades.

I never carry makeup with me. My cosmetic bag is assembled according to the standard principle: matting wipes, cuticle oil, a small moisturizer for hands, a nude lip pencil and some kind of colored tint. That's all, I never even carry a mirror with me.

I do not always travel for love: a lot, and most of them are work trips. With the mission of raising the level of beauty among citizens, I travel a lot in Russia. At the same time, I can’t say that I have any favorite destinations, but I know for sure that from time to time it is very important for me to visit Europe and America in order to be inspired, learn something new, try cosmetics that are not yet available. in our market. And, of course, get acquainted with the make-up techniques of professionals from other countries. But I probably couldn't single out any specific direction.

Elena told the secrets of the perfect make-up, which is suitable for home, office or walks.

The perfect daytime make-up is a make-up that is not noticeable on the face. This is very important, because in daylight your interlocutor can see all the "Extra" layers of foundation or powder. Therefore, the main rule in daytime makeup is not to overdo it.

- before applying the foundation, the makeup artist advises to sprinkle the face with a spray to fix the makeup. The spray smooths out all the microroughness and roughness on the skin. Thanks to this trick, all subsequent funds will lie down more evenly. In the event that during the day you need to correct or redo your makeup, but there is no time and opportunity for a complete make-up removal, Elena also advises using this method: first spray your face with a spray, and only then apply powder or foundation on the face.

To make the makeup as natural and not overloaded as possible, it is very important to correctly set the light and have a good mirror. The face should be equally illuminated from all sides, and the mirror should be made of quality material. Thus, if your light is not ideal, when applying makeup, Elena advises trying to keep your chin a little higher - so the light will fall on your face more evenly.

It is better to choose a base for makeup in the form of a pearlescent emulsion, lilac, purple or pink. You should get the effect of glowing face from the inside. Many neglect this remedy, while it is it that gives the face a fresh healthy look.

The desire for naturalness does not mean that it is necessary to use only light tonal products. They are good if you have perfect skin. Only if there are small imperfections on the skin, take tonal foundations that camouflage well. For application liquid funds, use a brush, not a sponge. The more liquid the foundation, the more it clogs into the sponge and thereby increases the consumption of the product.

Immediately after applying the foundation, it is necessary to apply a corrector, concealer and fix everything with loose powder. The foundation on the skin quickly enters into various reactions with the environment, and the powder prevents this process.

Tonal means make the face flat. Therefore, it is very important after toning to give the face volume with the help of a bronzer and a highlighter. Highlighter is applied to convex areas on the face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, check mark above the lip and chin.

If your finances are limited, blush is exactly the decorative tool that you can save on. They are applied over foundation and powder, so they do not affect your skin in any way. Matte blush should be chosen highly pigmented, pink, coral or berry shade. And the shades of shimmer blush, on the contrary, should not be so saturated with a cold undertone.

For day makeup lip tint or lip gloss is suitable. Another way to give your lips a more intense yet natural hue is to use two-tone lip pencils. It is necessary to paint over the lips with a pink tint, and make a contour with a more natural muted shade. If desired, you can add a little colorless gloss.

Eye shadows are preferable to choose light shades with a reflective effect. They are not only easy to apply, but also give volume thanks to reflective particles. At the master class, Elena Krygina used pigment from Inglot.

For daytime makeup, do not paint over eyelashes very thickly. It is important to paint well only the base of the eyelashes, and leave the tips light.

Despite a large number of day makeup, which Elena Krygina demonstrated, is done in 5 minutes and can be easily transformed into more evening version. To do this, you just need to draw arrows in front of your eyes and tint your lips.

The main motto of fashion summer makeup 2014 - more reflective textures! But let's talk about everything in order.

Summer make-up has several features that look better in daylight, bright, sunny lighting. The most important difference between summer makeup is the amount of tinting agents. It is no secret that in the sun some skin imperfections become less noticeable. In addition, melanin, which is produced under the influence of sunlight, gives the skin radiance. Therefore, the main task of summer makeup is to enhance this effect with the help of cosmetics.

So, after you have applied a light foundation and powdered your face, proceed to apply the bronzer. Choose pressed powder, as it is convenient to work with and collect the right amount of product. Start applying bronzer with a large soft brush from the sides of the forehead, go down and move with light movements along the contour of the face. Do not forget about the tip of the nose and the sides, as the face is not limited to the chin. A little advice: it is better to powder any bronzers so that the glow of the skin and the so-called light tan come from the inside.

Remember important rule: Bronze powder is not a means of correction, as it contains shiny particles.

As for eye makeup, in the summer of 2014 it should be spectacular. Choose shades of shadows from gold to brown and even from carrot to copper. It was the shimmering golden brown shadows that Christian Dior and Gucci chose for their shows. Marc Jacobs opted for natural make-up for the fashion show with an emphasis on the eyes with bright blue and turquoise pencils. Silver, white shades and delicate shades of blue, purple, pink and even green are also very popular. Black arrows will never go out of style, and their various interpretations are amazing.

For lip makeup, you can safely choose shades of lipstick from neon tangerine to more subtle coral. The main thing is to find a shade that will work for you. Opt for lipsticks with a shimmery finish, as matte orange lipstick can make lips look thinner.

Except orange lipstick, which is the unconditional trend of the spring-summer 2014 season, there should be others in your cosmetic bag bright colors. In the recommended palette, shades from scarlet and fuchsia to plum and burgundy.

And in order to make fashionable summer makeup on your own, we invite you to watch a master class from your favorite makeup artist Elena Krygina.

Video tutorial by Elena Krygina: summer makeup rules

• Pressed powder bronzer
• Large soft brush (as for blending blush)
• Eye primer type M.A.C. Prep+Prime
• Metallic eye shadow or M.A.C. (in the video pigments Chocolate Brown and Sunny Daze are used)
• YVES ROCHER Couleurs Nature 3 in1 Eye Pencil 08 Blanc Light Pink
• Bright blue eyeliner L "Etoile Garconne 104 Raphaelle
• Blush Bobbi Brown Blush Coral
• Highlighter M.A.C. Luster Drops Pink Rebel
• Benefit Benetint Lip Pigment
• Lip gloss Benefit Hoola

Sequence of action:

• 1 The first step of any, including summer, make-up is a thorough preparation of the face. Namely: we properly tint and powder the skin of the face.
• 2 We apply a little bronzer powder on a large brush (as for blush), and, removing the excess on the hand, transfer the shade to the face with light movements - starting from the lateral surfaces of the forehead and gradually gently “circling” along the entire contour of the face.
• 3 With the same light movements, barely touching the skin, apply bronzer to the tip of the nose and the sides of the neck. With a powder brush, carefully blend the borders of the bronzer application.
• 4 Draw a basic outline of the eyes on the upper and lower eyelids. Apply eye primer.
• 5 With an eyeshadow brush, we collect brown pigment, and, carefully removing the excess on our hand, we darken the outer corner of the upper eyelid. Gently shade along the crease of the upper eyelid, achieving the maximum smooth transition from the dark outer corner of the eye to the lighter inner one. We apply a little dark pigment to the lower eyelid.
• 6 It's the turn to apply a lighter shade of shadows (or pigment). We put it with a flat eyeshadow brush on the moving upper eyelid, on the inner corner of the eyes and a little under the eyebrow. Shade.
• 7 With a white pencil, highlight the lower mucous membrane of the eye.
• 8 With a bright colored pencil, draw an arrow along the upper eyelid from the inner corner to the outer right above the inter-ciliary arrow. Draw carefully.
• 9 With light movements, apply shining blush on the "apples" of the cheeks and powder them. At the end - with dipping movements, apply a drop of highlighter on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and a “tick” above upper lip. We apply pigment and a little gloss on the lips themselves.

• It is very important to understand that no bronzer is a correction tool, because it has a pronounced radiant effect. So don't try to model your face with bronzers, no matter how dark they are.


• Do not forget that the face is not the only open area of ​​​​the body in the summer. Therefore, when applying bronzer on the face, it is logical to apply it also (in a minimal amount) to the hands, and to the shoulders, and even to the legs.
