Cleopatra makeup. create the image of the queen of the nile
The Queen of the Nile, the feminine sovereign, the woman of incredible beauty, this is how Cleopatra can be described. Especially well remembered Cleopatra's makeup is sexy and bewitching. it is often used by girls to make an original Egyptian-style photo shoot. The image of Cleopatra was well represented by such great actresses as Elizabeth Taylor and Monica Bellucci. They perfectly coped with the role of this fatal beauty and impressed the seductive make-up of the Egyptian queen even deeper into memory.
How Cleopatra's makeup is created
Cleopatra-style makeup is sensual and expressive eyes that have long arrows drawn in a dark liner. On the eyelid, shadows were applied from a bright contrasting palette, thereby conveying the flavor of the reign of the Queen of Egypt. Let's now analyze Cleopatra's makeup step by step, paying attention to every detail of the image.
Queen skin tone
As with any make-up, the first thing to do is to create a perfect face tone. Cleopatra's makeup is no exception. To align the tone you need a foundation of different colors. We need to create a certain contrast between the line of eyebrows, eyes and lips.
- Take a foundation for 2 shades lighter than your skin and another 1 one tonic 1 tone lighter than your skin.
- The shade that is lighter by 1 tone will be used as the base for make-up. With a brush or sponge we distribute it over the entire surface of the face, also the neckline and neck.
- The toner is 2 tones lighter - applied to the eye and eyebrows. Do not overdo it with the thickness of the layer, otherwise your face will look completely unnatural.
Another tool that will help to achieve the perfect velvety tone is a transparent powder with a small amount of flickering particles.
- Apply a little powder on a large fluffy brush and lightly smooth movements to hold it over the entire surface of the face, neck and décolleté.
- For girls with dark skin tones it is better to use bronzing powder. Powder is also distributed over the face, and to impart a special charm to her a little cheekbones and eyelids.
Cleopatra's eye makeup
The first thing to do is to emphasize the eyebrows. To do this you will need a shadow or a pencil. The shade of the shadow or pencil should be in harmony with the natural colors of the eyebrows. The eye makeup of the Egyptian queen cannot do without the use of shimmering golden yellow or beige shadows. They are needed to give your eyes a shining effect.
- The inner corner of the eye can be emphasized with the shadows of the same colors or be replaced with such shades as bright orange or reddish-pink. The rest of the range of shadows is selected from the type of your appearance. Everyone knows that different types of looks go or do not go some colors. Try to choose for yourself the ideal range so that Cleopatra’s make was not spoiled. To highlight the outer corner of the eye, you can safely use such shades as turquoise and amber-honey.
- Another option is to move the mobile eyelid with shadows such as gray with small sparkles. After this, the shadow must be properly shaded. Feathering should take place in the direction of the bottom up or from the inside to the outside.
- We now turn to the creation of the eyeliner line of the ciliary edge. To do this, we draw with a charcoal-black pencil a fairly wide line. We take a brush and blend the eyeliner slightly upwards from the outer corner of the eye. This reception will make your look deep and expressive.
- With the help of the same black eyeliner we draw a thin line that smoothly thickens in the direction of the outer edge of the eye.
- On the growth line of the eyelashes of the lower eyelid, a black eyeliner and a light layer of powder are also applied. The lower eyelash growth line in Cleopatra's makeup can have 2 small branches, going back to the temporal zone.
- The final touch is the application of black bulk mascara in several layers or the gluing of false eyelashes.
Cleopatra Lips Makeup
Choosing a lip liner, you should know one thing. In Cleopatra's lips, the outline pencil should be 1 tone darker than lipstick, and lipstick, in turn, should ideally harmonize with the color of the palette of shadows. If you chose lipstick in orange tones, then choose a contour pencil of light brown color. This combination will be perfect. At the last stage of the make-up of the lips of the Egyptian queen, slightly dab the lips with a dry cloth and lightly powder it with powder.
