"I want to do my makeup, but it's too much work! I want to wear make-up, but it's such a hassle!" There are times when you feel that way. I want to wear make-up, but it's too much work! However, the truth is that when you wear no make-up and a mask, your face will look blurry and you may not be satisfied with the result.
In the new normal, there is a lot of attention being paid to "subtractive makeup," which is makeup that doesn't try too hard, but instead focuses on the minimum points to give a polished look!
In this article, I'll introduce you to the key points of "subtractive makeup," which involves skimping on base makeup, eye makeup, and lip makeup.
No more foundation! Tips for subtractive base makeup
1: Carefully apply base makeup to create a bare skin look and a three-dimensional effect.
It's very important to build a foundation for a memorable part of your makeup. If you want to look beautiful without wearing a lot of makeup, not only do you need to keep your makeup simple, but you also need to make sure that each part of your face has a three-dimensional look without wearing a lot of makeup.
The key to this is the base makeup. In order to make even the simplest eye makeup stand out, the first major point is to have a good base makeup.
The trick is to use a control color to remove dullness and a concealer to hide dark circles. You can also use blush and lowlights to make your simple eye makeup stand out.
Even if you want to do simple and quick makeup like this, do not skimp on the base makeup, and do it properly to save time.
2: Don't use foundation on your whole face! Use primer and concealer!
While it is important to carefully create a base, it is not advisable to apply foundation to your entire face.
Apply foundation only on the parts of your face that you want to hide, and use only a primer or concealer on the parts of your face that you don't need to hide.
If you apply a light-textured primer over a large area, and then apply a thick-textured foundation or concealer after concealing it to some extent, the thickness of the finished base makeup will change, and you will end up with a beautiful makeup even if it is minimal.
Although it varies from person to person, in extreme cases, a small amount of foundation around the eyes, nose and mouth is usually enough for most people. Especially around the nose, it is important to note that the quality of your base makeup depends on whether or not you are able to properly extend the foundation to the sides of your nose.
3: Do not apply face powder too thickly! It is recommended to use a brush to apply it.
When you have more skin problems, you tend to apply foundation and face powder thickly. However, too much of either will make you look unnatural.
If you put on too much face powder, it will look powdery and make you look older, so I recommend using a brush instead of a puff. It will give you a polished shine and make you look younger.
The point of base makeup is to create a glossy, natural finish. Minimal coverage is the key to a more transparent look.
Make your eyes look bigger naturally! Tips for subtractive eye makeup
4: Firm eyeliner has the opposite effect! A blank space is important for big eyes.
This is an important point to keep in mind, especially for those with a single or double-pitched eye.
If you draw a thick eyeliner on your upper eyelid with liquid eyeliner, it may make your eyes look crowded and small.
If you are trying to make your eyes look bigger, you might be tempted to surround them with black eyeliner, but this will have the opposite effect as the thick eyeliner will leave no room and make your eyes look crowded. Use an inside liner to tighten up your eyes, or use a thin liner or blur to leave some space around your eyes.
Likewise, if you have a single or double-pitched eyelid, you can make your eyes look bigger by creating a blank space on your lower eyelid. The secret to making your eyes look bigger is to use bright eyeshadow and gold color to make your lower eyelids look like they are expanding the whites of your eyes.
The key to making your eyes look bigger is how to create a blank space and how to make the whites and blacks of your eyes look well balanced. Rather than forcing yourself to use dark colors and dark eyeliner, create a sense of relaxation and let your eyes have more space.
5: Use a liquid eyeliner point of use to solve the problem of lack of color.
For eye makeup that emphasizes a sense of naturalness, an inside line with a pencil is basically enough. If you feel that you are missing something, we recommend using liquid eyeliner only at the outer corner of your eyes to emphasize your eyes a bit.
All you have to do is to draw liquid eyeliner from the corner of your eye, starting from the border between the black eye and the white eye. However, don't make the eyeliner too thick just because you want to emphasize your eyes. If you draw the line so that it protrudes about 5mm from the outer corner of your eye, you can create a natural large eye.
6: Enhance the impression of your eyes with a natural finish that makes the most of your own eyelashes
If you don't want to use an eyeliner, you can apply mascara firmly to prevent your eyes from looking too blurry.
However, too much pressure from the roots, too much mascara, and too many false eyelashes or eyelash extensions are the opposite of simple makeup.
If you want to change to simple makeup in a few steps, even if you draw your eyeliner, lightly apply a curler and only lightly apply a lengthening mascara.
7: Use eyeshadow to surround the outer corner of the eyes.
If you want to make use of your own eyelashes to make your eyes look bigger, the trick is to use eye shadow well. Apply the closing brown eye shadow to the outer corner of the eye, making it a little wider. By making the outer corner of the eye look enclosed, you can create a shadow that makes the eye look bigger.
Keep the eye shadow on the lower lid to the outer edge of the black eye. Eye makeup that surrounds the entire eye area may interfere with making the most of your own eyelashes, so be careful.
8: The key is to make the red lip the star of the show.
Your face will look very different without a lip. Some lip colors may look gaudy, but if you use them as a splash of color, they can make your face look brighter.
A single coat of red lipstick can give you a gorgeous and mature impression, so try to keep everything else colorless. For eye makeup, choose pearlescent makeup that doesn't emphasize the color. In addition, nude blush is recommended to give a sense of relaxation.
9: Lip lines are unnecessary for everyday use.
Rose pink and red lips are magical colors that give you a gorgeous look with just one coat. If you are going to a party where you need to look glamorous, the best makeup for the occasion is to use a lip line to make the magic color stand out.
However, if you take the lip line and apply a bold color for everyday use, it may come off ....... If you are going to use bold vivid colors on a daily basis, it is best to blur the lip line and make sure that it does not protrude from the corner of your mouth. This will give you a feminine and soft, youthful impression.
10: Colored lips are recommended for mask makeup
Now that masks are worn everyday, lips and cheeks are hidden by the mask. "There are many people who don't wear make-up anymore because they think it will be hidden anyway.
If you put too much effort on your lips and blush, you will end up with sticky make-up on your mask, so you don't need to wear much when you are wearing a mask.
However, if you shift the mask a little bit when you drink or eat, you can see it. It is also recommended to use a colored lipstick in the morning to make your lips a little lighter than your natural lips.
Although masks often hide your face, you should not wear no make-up at all, but rather use make-up that has the right points to give you a polished look. Subtractive makeup that doesn't try too hard will make you look more transparent! I hope you will start using these tips tomorrow.
