Airbrush Makeup

Airbrush makeup is not a new concept to the makeup industry. It has been used in film for many years. Airbrush makeup was used in the movie Ben Hur in 1922. It was then used as a fast technique of applying makeup to many actors. Airbrush makeup picked up a bit more popularity in the 1970s. It was originally thought of as an area of specialty in the cosmetic world.

Today, airbrush makeup is on the rise in popularity due partially to the increase in technology such as digital pictures and digital television and its long-lasting durability. In the past, film and television makeup was exaggerated so that the actors did not appear to be washed out. Some makeup had to be applied darker than normal to be seen in the bright lights while other times colors choices were limited due to the color of light. Cameras, lighting, and viewing quality were not as clear and exact. The viewers could not see lines in the makeup; therefore, the lines were not quite defined. Makeup covering facial imperfections such as blemishes and scars was less visible. Many touch-ups were needed. In other cases, film speed greatly affected the makeup, making everything visible. The makeup artist needed to be concerned with film sensitivity before applying makeup. Today, digital pictures and digital television have enhanced faces so that every line, blemish, and blend can be seen clearly. Close-up shots are common. As a result, today’s film and television makeup have adjusted to the need for perfection and precision by relying on airbrush makeup.

Many consider eyes to be one of a woman’s most beautiful features. No matter how far you go back in history, women have always been illustrated with large, beautiful eyes.

Quite understandably, you will also want to make the most of your eyes – especially if it helps you look and feel more feminine. Of course, the fact that beautiful eyes can distract from a number of facial flows gives you yet another reason to really get to work on these assets.

Eyeshadow allows you to really accentuate the eyes by adding color and making them look bigger, brighter and more beautiful.

The Bollywood fashion and style is full of glamor and appealing looks. The Indian celebrities have the most intriguing makeups to emphasize their gorgeous eyes and draw all the attention to their face. They are real professionals in creating colorful exotic looks, that’s why we can get inspired from them to steal some of their beauty.

Bollywood Makeup Base

First of all, make sure you have the proper foundation shade and texture to make a flawless skin. Choose the most suitable one for your skin type and color, and use a concealer to hide your dark circles. To get the matte look, use a powder to finish the look.

The day of the wedding is perhaps the most-awaited day in the life of any woman and to look like a fairy queen is the dream of most of the brides. The bridal makeup is not only about makeup for the occasion but also about pre-bridal skin and facial care and treatments. It must be photography friendly too and thus, professional help is often desired to assist brides to look their best on this very special day of their lives. Correct use of colors and expert highlighting and contouring leave you looking as stunning and dazzling, as you want. Choose cosmetics that are long lasting, can be easily blended and have high pigmentation level for your wedding day and you are free to use shimmer and gloss to make you shine. Cosmetic colors should compliment your wedding attire yet you must also keep in mind that there will be lots of flash photography and blue-toned colors will make you appear darker.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As is the case with brunette girls’ makeup. While I doubt Newton ever worked behind a MAC counter, with every makeup tip I could offer a brunette, there’s a contradictory—yet equally appealing—suggestion. The biggest, most encompassing tip I can give is mix things up. Mix up the colors, mix up the looks, and always always mix up the emphasis. Don’t wear dark eyeshadow and liner in combination with burgundy lips or you’ll risk looking overdone.

Tip #1: You can get away with color. There are some sultry looks lighter haired girls can’t pull off as well as you without toning them down a notch. The traditional, sexy smoky look is much better left to the raven-haired girls, especially when they have dark skin, too. Mixing blacks and grays with nearly excessive amounts of eyeliner and a hint of silver shimmer for a night out looks stunning with the right frame around it and can look even scary with a light hair color attempting to embrace it.

Tip #2: You can get away with bare-faced beauty. You don’t have to use the color recommended above. Flesh tones look just as gorgeous on brunette girls (and are more appropriate for daytime wear unless you work on the set of a soap opera) as the darker, nighttime counterparts. Brunettes with fair skin can choose a light brown with a hint of peach or pink to warm it up, golden shimmer optional, to brighten their faces up without looking like they’re wearing any makeup. A thin line of brown eyeliner on the top lid and a single coat of mascara makes your eyes pop without screaming, “Look at my makeup!†Add a bit of coral-pink blush and some clear lipgloss and you’re done.

Tip #3: Wear color on your lips to avoid looking washed out. A nice medium pink or coral will add color to your cheeks and brighten your eyes. You’ll look more awake, whether your skin’s alabaster or ebony. You can skip every other type of makeup in a crunch, but slick on a lip color.

Ever since Egyptian Empire reigned supreme, women have been fixated on the appearance of their eyelashes. Cleopatra and her girlfriends though that evil spirits could use the eyes as a gateway into your soul, so they began concealing their lashes with kohl, water, dung and honey in order to make it more difficult for the spirits to enter. They viewed heavily made up eyelashes as almost the Brinks Home Security of eyeball soul stealing.

In the Victorian Era, women used petroleum jelly on their eyelashes to make them look played up and flirty. The year 1916 brought the creation (by director DW Griffith according to Hollywood legends) of false eyelashes made of gauze and human hair. In 1917, Eugene Rimmel created the first manufactured and packaged mascara product and 1938 brought the first waterproof mascaras, which were reformulated in the 1960s to make them safe for eyes (prior waterproof mascara boasted a 50% dose of turpentine!).

Finding eye makeup inspiration from your favorite celebs can be futile unless your fav celeb has the same eye shape as you. I’ve scanned the internet for images and have grouped them together so you have a source for eye makeup looks for your eye shape.

Wide set eyes are classified by the generous space in between the eyes. You can tell you have wide set eyes if you can fit more than one eye’s width in the space between your eyes (sounds scary, right?). You can find additional tips on makeup for this eye shape at Eye Makeup Looks: Brown and Purple and All About Eyes Part 2.

Jessica Alba is a wide set eyed beauty to watch for eye makeup looks if you share a similar eye shape. Check out a few of her gorgeous eye makeup looks.
