COS makeup artist

1: facial makeup

Appliance: foundation (powder or liquid) concealer brush powder puff/dense sponge powder honey

Blush brush blush powder.

The basic order of makeup:

Apply foundation-concealer-blush

COS, especially the COS of VR, is very prone to the effect of "pie face". Obviously, the thin man's face is round. First of all, we should prepare two different colors of foundation, pat the light foundation on the cheek with a puff, and then decorate the towering parts of the face such as forehead and bridge of the nose with another puff, resulting in a deep and shallow color difference and a three-dimensional effect. COSPLAYER, using white powder for special effects, or coating powder very thick, will not only hurt the skin, but sometimes it will be counterproductive. Finally, gently pat off the floating powder on your face with a sponge.

Honey powder:

Using honey powder on the upper eyelid can cover up the puffiness of the eyes.

Liquid foundation:

First, put the foundation in your palm. Rub evenly with fingertips and heat with body temperature to improve the softness of foundation. Then apply it under your eyes. Apply liquid foundation to your cheeks and apply it radially. Apply the foundation from the cheek to the outside of the face with your fingertips, and then apply it to the center of the face. Apply foundation evenly from the forehead. Use your fingertips to push the residual liquid foundation around your eyes and on both sides of your nose. Finally, decorate with a sponge. Gently wipe and absorb the excess liquid foundation and grease, so that there will be no uneven tone. The advantage of using liquid foundation is that it is not easy to have residual makeup, and it is not easy to destroy the original foundation with oil-absorbing paper. Teach COSPLAYER suitable for dry skin.

concealer

Usually use your fingers directly, and you don't need to borrow other makeup tools. Apply concealer around your eyes. There are usually dark circles around your eyes. Where there are small pimples or spots, you can directly apply concealer with a brush. Any cosmetic will irritate the skin. Too thick concealer will also block pores, and the more small peas cover, the more.

A blushing person

After applying all the foundation, you can blush. It should be noted that blush is not always red, and the color should be selected according to the main color of personal makeup. Blush cake and powder cake are about the same size, and eye shadow powder can be used instead when needed. Take a small amount of color with a blush brush, first pat it on the palm of your hand to shake off the floating color, otherwise the color will be too strong, which will destroy the foundation. Even if heavy makeup is needed, blush should be applied layer by layer. Draw a round blush centered on the highest point of the cheek. Smile and repeat the circle with the center of the cheek as the standard. The usual usage of lip gloss is to apply it directly to the lips, sip it on the upper and lower lips, and the color will be fixed on the mouth, and then it will be shaped with a small brush, which is very easy. In order to remove makeup quickly and conveniently, people often apply a thin layer of lip balm before applying lip gloss. The utensils are also relatively simple: lip balm (according to personal needs), lipstick/lip gloss, small brush, if you use different colors of lip gloss, it is best not to use the same brush ~), paper towels and other methods to make your lips smaller. First, apply lip gloss to the center of the lips with your fingers, so that the lip peak is prominent and the mouth role is light pink. The lip color painted in the center of the lips is lightly smudged on both sides with your fingers, which makes the lip shape full of three-dimensional sense. Apply lip gloss to the middle of the lips with a lip brush, and a natural three-dimensional lip shape is born. This method is very similar to the "face-lifting" method mentioned above, which uses the transition of color and the change of light to create a three-dimensional sense. For friends who have studied color, it should be easy to understand the truth ~

Tips for keeping lipstick bright:

This is very troublesome, and it is easy to make your mouth into a pile. Sweat ~ unless very professional photography requires high-quality makeup, Xiao s definitely does not advocate this practice. On the other hand, if it's professional makeup, I have no right to speak at all ... Sweating) In order to prevent the mouth from blushing, first draw a lip shape with a lip liner, then apply lipstick, gently sip off the lipstick and then apply honey powder. In addition, applying concealer to lips and lipstick can also make lip makeup last longer. Or use a special lip care liquid, apply lip gloss and dip it in lip care liquid, so that the lips are not easy to take off makeup.

Pearlescent bright color final coating:

Special lipsticks such as pearlescent and bright colors should not be mixed with ordinary lipsticks before lip painting, which will weaken their special visual effects. It is suggested to paint "ordinary" first and then "special", which will be more layered. First light and then deep: lipstick with different shades can't be mixed directly without a lip brush at hand. The method of shallow first and then deep can avoid the future trouble of dark color overshadowing light color. Deep outside and shallow inside: If you are worried that the lip shape is not beautiful and full, you can use the painting method of deep outside and shallow inside, outline the outline with dark color and fill it with light color. Be sure to brush evenly between the two lip colors with a lip brush, otherwise the boundary will be too clear and unnatural. Black and white tone: If you like a certain color of lipstick, but its brightness doesn't match your skin color, you can use black and white lipstick to directly mix with your favorite lipstick, so as to bring brightness level to the most ideal state.

3. Eyes

Tools: Eyeliner (eyeliner is expensive, so it is not recommended), mascara, eye shadow powder, eye shadow brush, cotton swab, eyelash curler, mascara ...... (N kinds of strange tools are omitted below ~) First scan eye shadow, then draw eyeliner, and finally apply mascara. Because eye shadow usually takes a while to smudge, if you draw eyeliner first, it will be scratched. Eyelash liquid is also dizzy and difficult to clean, so put it at the end, don't confuse the steps ~

When drawing eyeliner, the effect of makeup, eyeliner and eyeliner is different.

The essentials of applying charming eye shadow

Apply light eye shadow with a makeup brush. First, the eye shadow powder is placed in the center of the eyelid, and then applied radially to the eye socket. Dip a sponge stick into the dark eye shadow at the tip of the eye, then slowly apply it to the inner corner of the eye along the upper eye edge, then apply eye shadow powder to the inner corner of the eye, and then reapply it to the tip of the eye from the inner corner of the eye along the upper eye edge with a sponge stick, so that the light and dark lines will faint and the light and dark colors will blend together. The width of dark eye shadow is generally based on the width of double eyelids. Ideally, when you open your eyes, the halo of light and dark eye shadow will be exposed. So the best way is to keep your eyes open while applying eye shadow. However, for friends with single eyelid and inner double eyelid, it is difficult to determine the width of smearing, so it is particularly important to open your eyes when smearing. Because the halo of eye shadow shortens the distance between eyes and eyebrows, eyes look deeper and more charming. After applying eye shadow, you can pat it gently with your fingertips to make it more firmly attached. The key point is not to let people see that there is a clear boundary between the two colors, so that the color of eye shadow and skin color can be fully and naturally blended together, leaving no trace of the connection between the two colors. If you can do this, it means that you have mastered the essentials of drawing eye shadow.

* * Eye-catching * * [Make-up method to make small eyes look bigger] * * Eye-catching * *

Draw eyeliner with a little white at the end of the eye, the end of the eye should be slightly upward, make eyelashes look longer with mascara, and paint the end of the eye white. Draw the center of the eyeliner thicker. When drawing eyeliner, thicken the central part and use deeper eye shadow. At the end of the eye, draw it lightly. Draw two lines into a double line. Draw two natural lines on the upper eye with a black or gray eyebrow pencil to create a double line. When drawing eye shadow, please use a brown eye shadow pen to lightly trace the upper eyelid into a hazy state.

eyelash curler

If used properly, the eyelash curler can make your eyelashes look twice as long as before.

Choose a good eyelash curler (at least not too many times for your poor eyelashes ~). If it is found that the rubber begins to crack, it should be replaced immediately. Don't use the eyelash curler after applying the eyelash curler, because the eyelash curler may stick to it. If you loosen the eyelash curler, your eyelashes will be pulled out. Don't pull hard when using the eyelash curler, as this will pull out the eyelashes together. Use double pressure method: place the opening clip near the root of the upper eyelash, and then arrange the eyelash between the two eye sockets. After 5 seconds, loosen the eyelash curler, move slightly to the middle of the eyelashes, and repeat this step. Many people use eyelash curlers as hard clips, which can easily hurt eyelashes. Although it is very inconspicuous, it is a part of your body. Please be gentle, which will also help you achieve the desired effect ~

4. Eyebrows

Appliances: Eyebrow pliers, tweezers, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow brush, mirror, small scissors, skin astringent water, moisturizing cream, cotton ball, etc.

The main steps of eyebrow shaping:

Clean your eyebrows in front of the mirror, and brush them lightly with a small eyebrow brush to remove powder and dander. Wipe the eyebrows and their surroundings with alcohol or astringent skin water (Cleopatra is recommended, which is easy to buy and relatively cheap) to make them clean. Cover your eyebrows with a cotton ball or a hot towel soaked in warm water to soften the tissues inside your eyebrows. Determine the eyebrow shape. You can draw your eyebrows with eyebrow strokes first, and any eyebrows left outside the outline are redundant.

Adjust the length of eyebrows: Trim the excessively long eyebrows that grow vertically downward to an appropriate length, so that the eyebrows are slightly shorter, and the closer they are, the longer they are. From the eyebrows to the eyebrows, except for the bad shape, it is not advisable to cut it too short.

Shaping: remove the redundant eyebrows one by one with eyebrow pliers, so as to obtain the ideal eyebrow shape. In order to relieve the pain when pulling out eyebrows, you can apply some moisturizing cream before pulling out. When pulling, slightly tighten the skin of the eyebrows and pull them outward or upward one by one along the growth direction of the eyebrows. Shave off the hair and excess hair around the eyebrows with a razor. After removing messy eyebrows, pat the eyebrows and surrounding skin with astringent lotion to shrink skin pores. When finished, gently brush your eyebrows with a small brush to keep a natural position.

5, nails

How to use nail polish correctly

Manicure suits are available in any small commodity wholesale market. )

(1) Trim A Trims out ellipses, squares, sharp shapes, etc. according to the needs of COS.

⑵ Trim the nail surface with three nail file to remove the unevenness on the nail surface.

When applying nail polish, apply primer first (transparent nail polish is ok, and many places also sell cheap nail polish), and then apply it evenly and smoothly from the middle of the nail to both sides. Note that the brush used for nail painting should be painted at a 45-degree angle with the nail surface.

Step 6 remove makeup

The basic method of choosing makeup remover must be based on the adhesion of foundation to skin. If you don't completely remove makeup, the dirt left behind will lead to bad sequelae such as pigmentation, black spots and acne. The first condition for removing makeup is that you must never be stingy with the amount of makeup. I bought a brand-name makeup remover, but I can't bear to use it more. I might as well change into a cheap makeup remover. If you can't do thorough cleaning because you lose weight, it will damage your skin health. Isn't it a penny wise and pound foolish? In addition, remember not to massage while removing makeup, so as not to put the cosmetics that have surfaced hard back into the pores, which is simply not worth the candle. If you really want to massage your skin, you must remove makeup first, and then massage with makeup remover or massage cream.

⑴ Liquid makeup remover: light makeup suitable for oily skin, lightly coated with honey powder.

⑵ Gel makeup remover: For medium to oily skin, only make up with honey powder and liquid foundation.

(3) Emulsion makeup remover: neutral skin, only makeup with honey powder and liquid foundation.

⑷ Paste makeup remover: For moderate to dry skin, make up with honey powder, liquid foundation, persistent liquid foundation and persistent liquid foundation cream.

5. Oily makeup remover: for moderate to dry skin, make up with honey powder, liquid foundation, persistent liquid foundation and persistent liquid foundation cream.

[6] Eye and lip makeup remover: clean the key parts, suitable for cosmetics in specific parts such as mascara, eye shadow and lipstick.

(All the above words were directly moved here. Consider those methods again if conditions permit. The simplest thing is to wash it with soap and wash it again. If it's a big deal, pull them with a peeling mask )

Small ways to make up in summer:

Tools: Cotton swabs and oil-absorbing paper are necessary.

It is easy to make up on a clean face. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the makeup, use paper towels to absorb the excess oil and powder on your face, and the dirty face makeup will become more and more dirty. Sweep away excess makeup, and use a cotton swab with a round head to wipe off the overflowing colors of eyebrows, eye shadow, eyeliner and lips. Note that extra lipstick should be applied from the outside to the inside. Cover the mottled marks, dip a little powder with a wet puff and gently press it on the scratch. Never rub the parts of your nose that secrete more oil repeatedly, otherwise it will destroy the original makeup. The complementary color should be the original same color or coordinated color, the damaged eye shadow should be repaired with a slightly pointed cotton swab, and the eyebrows should be dyed evenly with eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder. Take a little lipstick from the lip brush, cover it on the original lipstick, and then sip it with your mouth. Complementary colors should be the same color or coordinated color. If it is a bare-backed VR COS, it is recommended to spend so much effort to sprinkle some loose powder on your back. Without a unified effect, all previous efforts were in vain.

Suggestion:

The foundation should be pasty, so it is recommended to use the concealerNo. 17 1 from Mingxiang (you must buy genuine products, but you can't use floating ones! ! ), if the powder is too bad, just use fine white powder ~ ~ ~ Then, for good effect, it is best to use loose powder to fix makeup on the upper layer (especially when shooting on location)

If the skin is really dark, you can use makeup to remedy it. When taking pictures, the light must be sufficient and even, and then the curve in the later period will be almost the same as that of P! But these are only temporary solutions, and the most important thing is * daily protection! !

If your lips are thick or big, don't draw lip lines. Cover part of your lips when applying foundation, and then apply light pink lip gloss. When painting, the table will be too full and will become smaller! !

1. Make-up colors should conform to personal inner temperament.

2. The color of makeup should match the age of an individual. For example, young girls can try to use light colors, such as pink lipstick (pink, pink orange); Older girls can use darker or brighter colors, because darker and brighter colors will give people a striking feeling and look more mature.

3. Make-up color should be consistent with personal skin color. Including three choices: one is the choice of foundation, and the other is the choice of blush. People with whiter skin can choose pink series; People with darker skin color should choose brown series to make their skin color look healthier. Silver blush can be used to show the forehead. The third is the choice of lipstick. Light and silver lipsticks have the effect of making your mouth bigger. The collocation of lipstick and skin color is also learned. People with darker skin color should not wear light-colored or silver lipstick, because light-colored lipstick will contrast with skin color and look even dimmer. People with whiter skin are luckier, and any color will do. People with darker skin color must pay special attention to the choice of color and avoid using yellow, pink, silver, light green or light gray lipstick. You can wear dark red or brown lipstick, which will make your skin whiter and more harmonious.

The color of makeup should be coordinated with the color of clothing. Pay more attention to the following points here:

(1) Light-colored clothes, such as pink series, should be elegant and consistent with the color of the clothes.

(2) For dark and monochromatic clothes, you can choose similar or same color makeup. For example, if you are wearing green or blue clothes, you can choose contrasting colors, such as big red and orange.

(3) Black, gray and white clothes can be matched with brighter, darker and silver-free makeup.

(4) When wearing patterned red clothes, you can choose the main color in the pattern or the same color but different shades to match.

(5) The main colors of patterned clothing are blue and green, which can be matched with contrasting colors or contrasting colors of the same color.

(6) The hue of eye makeup can be matched with clothes of the same color or contrast color.
