Fashion style makeup is an important component of the world of high fashion. A podium make-up is necessary when creating an image of a collection, it often goes beyond the usual, it is unusual, futuristic, it displays fashion trends both current and future.

Initially, the purpose of the makeup was not to distract the viewer from the designer collection during the show. Models and their faces served as a background, a white sheet, the focus was on outfits and accessories.

For the first time these unwritten rules violated the English couturier John galliano. At the shows of his author's collection, everyone saw how a podium make-up could be an important element of a colorful show, part of an image that works for a design idea.

At fashion shows, models must look perfect. The main way to hide all the errors of the skin of the face, making the girl perfect - this is a professional make-up. An experienced make-up artist works with each model for a very short period of time allotted to him during the show. The organizers all count by the minute, some models change outfits several times during the whole show.

Makeup for the catwalk is made using the technique of stage makeup. In creating an image, professional makeup artists are obliged to take into account the laws of photography, the effects of optics, since such makeup is intended for scenes, photo shoots and video shots.

Required qualities in tonal basis - durability, reliability and practicality. The skin of the model face must be matte.

The make-up make-up cream is applied with a sponge that allows removing excess moisture contained in cosmetics from the skin. To fix the tone will help professional powder. Traditionally, it is applied to the face, neck and décolleté.

Eyes - the most expressive part of the model's face. Depending on the creative task and idea of ​​the collection, makeup artists use various means of decorative cosmetics, different techniques. Use eyeshadow bright tones, there may be large arrows around the eyes - black or contrasting colors.

When making lips Make-up artists use lipstick of bright shades - ruby, plum, burgundy, and also classic red.

It is possible to apply a graphic pattern on the face using scotch tape and a set of brushes.

Makeup for the catwalk is very different from what we are used to, what we face daily.

Salon makeup hides all the flaws on the face and irregularities. Fashion-style make-up attaches great importance to bright individuality. Features of appearance emphasize, even exaggerate: the relief surface of the face, too deep-set eyes, overly wide lips.
