Step-by-step technique
- You need to give your skin a perfect tone, so that your face is plastic. Using concealer disguise all irregularities in the skin, circles and bags under the eyes. Then take a brush to apply the tonal framework and of course the foundation itself (you need a shade lighter than your skin). Apply tonal foundation, finish applying the powder with a powder compact face powder.
- After your ideal base is ready, you should proceed to create a thin nose and a clear line of cheekbones. To do this, you will need bronzing powder. Light movements of the brush from the ear to the central part under the line of the cheekbones cause powder, then shade, smoothing the transition. After that go to reduce the nose, for this, apply on "wings" the nose and its sides bronzing powder, and then blend for a smooth transition.
- Eyebrows in anime make-up are always clear, so arm yourself with pencil or shadows and draw a perfect line, as if toning hairs.
- On the entire surface of the moving eyelid, apply shadows of light tones, then blend. Apply white shadows or a white pencil on the lower eyelid, so you visually make your eyes bigger. Now we are starting to apply the liner line, if you confidently use a liquid liner, then draw the lines with it. If you do not have the skills, then arm yourself with a black contour pencil. The eyeliner line on the upper eyelid repeats the eyelash growth line, on the lower eyelid it is located below the eyelash growth line. Due to such an eyeliner, you get huge eyes. The contour lines of the upper and lower eyelids must be connected beyond the outer edge of the eyelids, the connection should resemble the tail of a swallow. With the help of dark shadows we draw a fold between the mobile and immobile eyelids, this line reaches the nose bridge, then shade it upwards with brown shadows. The bottom of the line should be emphasized with a stripe of light shade of shadows, then we combine it with a beige coating on the upper eyelid, we mask the tonal transitions.
- We proceed to the design of the eyelashes, using black volume mascara paint over eyelashes in 2 layers. Anime-style makeup means eyelashes with mega volume, so besides mascara you will need to glue false eyelashes.
- The final touch is lip makeup. Since the lips in the anime make-up should be small, you will need to achieve their visual reduction. To do this, use the foundation, cover it with the entire surface of the lips, and then blend with fingertips. In the center of the lips you can put a lipstick a delicate shade. As a result, you should have tiny sponges.
We told you about a more evening make-up, but with the same set of cosmetics, you can create a lighter, daytime version. To do this, just give up the dark shades of the shadows on the eyelids and draw the inner line of the lower eyelid with a white pencil.
To make your anime makeup look more harmonious, take care of the right hairstyle and outfit. As a hairstyle, you can braid 2 playful low or high tails, with the skills of weaving, you can make a beautiful long braid or just straighten your hair with a flat iron. Remember that the anime image is good for holiday parties, but not for ordinary, everyday life, do not stay in a fairy tale, be real!
