Makeup under the "mint" dress

Tropical colors are in fashion every summer, so every girl has a “mint” dress. This is a gentle, very girlish color. It is often bought at the graduation or wedding of girlfriends, which take place in the summer season. Dresses of this shade adorn any - a blonde, brunette, red-haired ... Despite the fact that the dress itself can be very versatile, makeup is not suitable for everybody. What colors and styles will create a single ensemble - read on.

To begin with, let's define a light day make-up under a “mint” dress.

If you put on an outfit during the day, most likely it will be a cocktail light toilet or a more business attire, but not at all evening, which means makeup can be quite light and unobtrusive.

• Eternal classics. In fact, such make-up as black arrows, uniform tone of the face, well-defined eyebrows, a little blush and bright lipstick - this is an option that exists outside of time and clothes. The only thing you can correct the image, adapting it to the color of the dress - the tone of lipstick. Try to bring a little “dolliness” into the image and make the lips pink like those of Barbie. For the daily version, it is quite permissible. You can make a little more pale color, similar to cotton candy. If you are not so airy, not too bright maroon-brown lipstick will also be relevant, you will get a sort of office style.

• "Hot-cold." Depending on whether your dress is warm or cold, you can choose gold or silver shades for a light day “smoky eyes”. If the tone of the clothes goes more into the blue - silvery cool notes in the makeup emphasize the integrity of the image. If the colors have a warmer gamut, a golden or bronze shade will suit more.

• Minimalism. If you have good skin without acne, age spots and other not the most pleasant errors, you can afford a minimum of cosmetics.

Add a little even tone using a primer, a very light powder or BB cream. After a dot apply blush, dye your eyelashes with black or brown mascara, and apply a little lip gloss with the final touch, and you can consider your look complete.

• Choose a tricolor. Another common makeup technique is the use of three colors. Here are some good white combinations at the base that you can use:

  • White - Nude - Brown;

  • White - dusty pink - silver or gold;

  • White - orange yellow - gray;

  • White - blue - aqua;

  • White - pale violet - violet;

  • White - pink - faded crimson;

  • White - pinkish - coral;

  • White - beige - coral.

If we exclude white color, but take into account that the area in the corner of the eye closer to the nose in all variants will be slightly illuminated by highlighter, then you can think of something more interesting. For example:

• Light blue - lemon - blue;

• Pale blue - gentle lime - purple;

• Beige - Mint - Coral;

• Mint - Gold - Bronze;

• Beige - gold - dark blue;

• Beige - metal - black.

You can fantasize even more options, the main thing in such a technique is to act step by step and well shade the transitions so that they are as smooth as possible and you get the ombre effect.

These moments concerned the make-up on the eyes, but this is not all, let's look at the lips. You will always win if you apply matte nude shades.They are universal, they will help to tie up eye makeup and the tone of a dress with a single thread and at the same time they can easily achieve the effect of lip augmentation.

Transparent gloss or small sparkles in tone to the natural color of the lips would also be appropriate. If you want to add accents and make the lips more noticeable, then the main thing is to choose cold tones for cold ones, and warm ones for warm ones. Otherwise, there are no strict restrictions.

When the daytime image has developed, you can proceed to the analysis of evening makeup.

The afternoon image has the right to be more solemn, complex and weighty in terms of layering makeup and color saturation. Excess of natural lighting forces us to draw shadows and glares with great diligence, so that the picture is formed into a full-fledged image. What can be done:

• Classic remains. We recall the first version of the day makeup. All that is needed to make this look evening is to add a little highlighter to the area under the eyebrow, to the corner of the eye, on the cheekbones and change the color of the lipstick to more juicy. Very beautiful with a mint color will be combined cherry, deep wine shade, burgundy, scarlet as blood or thick as beets. Do not forget about the rules of "hot" and "cold" and everything will be fine.

• Favorite "smoky eyes". Probably, this technique could be put in the first place, moving the classics, because you will agree, basically all evening makeup is created on its basis.

Traditional black can be matte, devoid of any shine. Especially beautiful it will look with blue eyes. You can use shimmer colors, they are universal. Also try diluting the black with large glitter or rhinestones glued to glue for eyelashes.

In addition to such a dark variation, take a chance to do makeup in brown tones. Chocolate shades look more natural, but they also highlight and emphasize the look. Plum-red makeup can also be appropriate, because the game of contrasts is always interesting.

• Banana and mint. No, we are not talking about a cocktail. If you did not know, there is such a technique of applying makeup on the eyes called "Banana". The basis is a very interesting shape of the arrow. It can be drawn in black or brown, and the fill colors are completely at your discretion. You can add metallic notes or matte, close to the complexion. This technique opens a huge field for your imagination and experiments.

• Greek makeup. His technique is reminiscent of “smoky eyes”, but the tone of the shadows framing the eyes should be much lighter, but the eyeliner on the upper and lower rows of eyelashes, on the contrary, should stand out clearly.

Very often mint-colored dresses are made in the form of an ancient Greek tunic. Soft folds, flowing hem, drape, as on antique statues ... With this style, Greek makeup will look especially appropriate. Complete the image with delicate large curls and no one will distinguish you from the real goddess.

• Bundles. If your dress is luxuriant, for example, its skirt is made of a multi-layered mesh, in makeup it also does not hurt to reproduce the effect of something airy, light.

In this case, the shadows can be neglected or give a smooth matte color. But eyelashes can be arranged in an interesting way.

For the upper row, a classic, not too thick and long pair of false eyelashes is quite suitable, and the lower part can be decorated with bunches. Do not fasten them tightly, leave small gaps. There is something like this theatrical, even clown, but not always evening events are held in the Philharmonic with classical music and champagne. Sometimes it can be a friendly meeting in a bar or club, where a light joke will be perceived quite adequately.

Lipstick in this image will be assigned a secondary role.She should not be invisible, but she should not drag all attention to herself either. Choose colorful, but not too saturated colors and the image will be complete.

The last thing to say is that the success of your make-up and overall appearance will always depend on preliminary preparation, and it begins with healthy sleep and good nutrition. It is impossible to kill on the spot with bags under the eyes and red veins in the eyes.

In the summer, when you want to wear bright colors like mint as often as possible, you should definitely have a moment for yourself. Just to take a break, understand that life is beautiful and smile to itself.

Remember that it is not a dress or even cosmetics that makes a girl look beautiful, but vice versa!
