Women have evolved a lot in terms of make-up, with the desire to be ever more natural without renouncing the desire to be perfect ... The pallets have not been stored in the closet, but they have adapted to this new make up. A makeup that is inspired by the layering, a sort of Japanese-style mille-feuille makeup, all in superimpositions that give a complexion that is as perfect as natural!


Makeup is not without care

If the trend is to no makeup, it goes first by an irreproachable skin hygiene! You have to take care of your skin, starting with a deep cleansing twice a month but also with care that drain and re-pulp. Nourished, massaged with blood circulation that is reactivated, the skin regenerates and looks fresher! "The personalities that make up make many treatments with advanced techniques to re-pulp the skin in the cabin, but they often accompany this cure of a gluten-free diet and dairy products that make the skin swell" explains Miky (Make Up Artist Lancôme France). Apart from these diets framed not by nutritionists, women can also resort to other techniques such as acupuncture, pinch backgammon but also to rejuvenation solutions such as filling techniques, which must remain subtle to retain a natural look ...

The layering or the art of superposition ...

In make-up, Miky explains, "personalities practice layering, that is to say a superposition of ultra-fine materials to give the impression that they are not made-up while having perfect skin." With 10 very precise steps that the makeup artist kindly decrypted us:

1 / the skin is dry
It is necessary to hydrate, then one sponge with a kleenex on the vertical line of the face (front, nose, wings of the nose, chin, lips).

2 / Application of a matifying base
A base usually in the form of a cream gel which is applied to the finger upward from the chin, from the nose up to the top of the forehead, without going on the cheeks that must remain very bright, slightly pink, to maintain a more youthful appearance.

3 / Application of a very liquid foundation
If you want a "glowy" look with a very fresh and very hydrated skin, you have to choose a very liquid and very fine foundation that is applied by brush (towards the outside, under the eyes, from the chin to the jaws ) always going up to "go up" the features.

4 / Applying an anti-ring
For those who feel the need, it is advisable to choose a very pigmented anti colored that is applied to the finger by patting lightly or with a very fine brush (not to exceed in the darker zone).

5 / Application of an Eye Base
On the eyelid the base is applied while taking care to remove with the cotton-stalk the surplus in the folds of the eyelid.

6 / Inverted contouring
With a product very thin as foundation but lighter than our skin tone, we apply by patting the product under the eye, the wing of the nose passing the top of the cheekbone, as in triangle. Possibility to apply between the eyebrows too, on the chin and the hollow between the lips. Then take a sponge (a sponge-egg) to absorb the excess and melt the demarcations.
"Contouring is the art of make-up by the points of light, where one proceeds by contrast" reminds us Miky.

7 / For the rebound cheeks
One can use blush-cream sticks to pat and have a fresh effect.

8 / Light sweep
We finish with an ultra-fine powder with a large brush, which is swept very lightly on the forehead, nose and wing of the nose ...

9 / Do not forget the eye shadow
Choose a very clear shadow to re-draw the eyebrow that must be perfectly brushed, and with a very fine pencil to eyebrow to hide the small imperfections of the eyebrows.

10 / An ultra light mascara
Choose a mascara for the eyelashes that lengthens the eyelashes without putting too much material, removing the surplus on the finger. Mascara should only lightly stain the eyelashes.

The complexion is smooth and radiant and does not betray the true mastery of makeup, with the possibility of enhancing this complexion by lips on which is added in small touches a tinted base.
