Oriental beauties are forced to hide their beauty under clothes, leaving only eyes available for men. From here came the tradition of making every effort to give the look a bewitching mystery and mystery. Eastern girls from a young age learn the technique of makeup, because the ability to express their individuality is a whole science.
Types of Oriental Makeup
There are three varieties of the eastern image: Arabic, Japanese (including Korean) and Indian. Each one is good in his own way and at the same time these are completely different techniques. But some similarities are visible here. For example, the same can be called the choice of color palette for each eye color.
For light eyes (blue, green, gray and other combinations), the light color scheme is ideal:
- Blue;
- Light green;
- Light purple;
- Lilac;
- Dusty rose;
- Champagne
With dark eye color (brown or black) they combine perfectly and emphasize the depth of blue, black, gold, chocolate, brown with a red undertone.
In both cases, the ability to play with colors is important (usually they are used a lot), step by step mix them, find and create unique ensembles. The ability to draw regular and even arrows is also an integral part of this type of makeup.
In this case, it is very important to pay attention to the eyebrows - they must be gently plucked and have clear contours. Japanese women, by the way, prefer to pluck their eyebrows to thin stripes. In general, the east, as well as its variations of make-up, is a delicate, harmonious and fascinating affair.
Arab
The most fashionable today can safely be called Arabic makeup. He stands out among his brothers by the brightness of the image, sophistication and harmony. But, it should be remembered that such a make-up has the status of the evening (acceptable at a wedding party and other events) and it is not suitable for the day type.
Features of the creation of Arabic makeup:
- The basis. First, pay attention to the tonal basis. It should match the natural complexion of Arab girls, i.e. have a light coffee hue;
- The color of the shadows. The palette is dominated by beautiful golden and natural shades;
- Eyebrows. Do not forget that in this option they should be neat, well-groomed with clearly defined lines;
- Eyelashes. A prerequisite - lush eyelashes, elongated closer to the arch of the eyes, can be slightly curved. If your eyelashes do not meet these standards, overheads are quite suitable, in this version they will be more than by the way;
- Arrows To enhance the effect, a black eyeliner or pencil is used, with its help, draw arrows that repeat the outlines of the shadows;
- Lips. Bright lipstick colors are not used here, Arabian beauties prefer natural shades or lip gloss.
With the help of shadows, the main outlines of the image are given, i.e. the shape of the eyes is adjusted, by default they should have a slightly elongated shape.To create it, apply the basic shade that you will use for the middle of the century and with soft movements blend it closer to the eyebrow line so that it lies as natural as possible. He will fulfill the main role. Add a few more colors to your liking.
Indian
Indian women are less restrained. The technique of performing Indian makeup can be very different from previous options. Bright colors of shadows and lipsticks are acceptable here, but one should not get carried away - everything should be harmonious, and not look like a mask.
The main tone is the color of light bronze, typical of Indian beauties. This make-up is perfect for brown-eyed beauties. The beauty standard in terms of makeup art can safely be called actress Aishwarya Rai.
You can create a more restrained version of Indian makeup at home by preparing a palette of shades in advance, a soft taupe pencil, eyeliner in black and golden colors and a highlighter or white pencil.
Step 1: the foundation.
Using a soft pencil, draw the necessary shape on the upper eyelid. To do this, draw neat arrows that slightly extend beyond the upper line of the eyelid. Then the pencil is applied throughout the movable eyelid, while slightly shading.
With the same pencil, draw an arrow along the line of growth of the eyelashes of the lower eyelid. An important rule is that the tips of the upper and lower arrows should never touch. You should also make the bottom line shorter. At the same time, it is only necessary to shade it slightly carefully.
Step 2: applying shadows.
We select the most similar shade color from the shadow palette. We apply it with a wide soft brush from the middle of the century to the outer corner of the eye. At the corner, you also need to add a different shade a couple of tones darker than the previous one.
Shadows are necessarily shaded to create a smooth transition between colors. This will help to visually lengthen and enlarge the eyes.
Step 3: drawing the arrows.
Draw double arrows. The first to be applied are bright or shiny shades, for example, golden. With a thin special brush, apply eyeliner or special glitter shadows from the inner corner of the eye, while the line should go beyond it, and the tip should be bent down, rushing to the nose.
The outer corner of the arrow should repeat the shape of the shadows. It should be bent upward, and also slightly expanded. In this case, the arrow does not have to go along the entire length of the shadows, it is enough to draw it along the most saturated area.
Next, we repeat the outline of the golden arrow with an ordinary black eyeliner. This arrow should be applied strictly along the line of eyelash growth and be half thinner than the previous one, but completely coincide with it in shape. However, it differs in its length: the black arrow is drawn longer than the golden one.
Step 4: add emphasis.
Using a medium-sized brush with soft bristles, apply a few golden shadows to the lower eyelid at the inner corner of the eyes. This is necessary in order to "open" the look and make it visually larger.
You should be as careful as possible so as not to overdo it with the number of shadows. They also need to be shaded for a smooth transition to the base color.
Step 5: drawing the mucosa.
A soft white pencil or, without it, with white shadows, draw a line along the mucosa of the lower eyelid, namely along the inner line of eyelash growth. This line stands out for greater contrast and enlargement of the eyes.
Step 6: eyelashes.
The final stage is the painting of eyelashes. In oriental makeup it is recommended to use black mascara or false eyelashes in the Claire style or in bunches. To dye eyelashes should also be careful to avoid the appearance of lumps.
To complete the image, it is recommended to paint the lips with a more neutral or not too bright color: pale pink, champagne, chocolate, light brown, nude tones.
Japanese and Korean
The main focus of Japanese makeup is on skin whitening. The desire of Japanese women as close as possible to the European image has led to the use of various methods and methods of whitening. For these purposes, they use whole techniques to whiten and even out its color, mostly using tonal foundation and powder.
In combination with a natural black hair color for Japanese women, a mysterious image is created. The motto of Japanese culture is restraint, elegance and aristocracy. They do not accept bright colors of lipstick, the main emphasis is exclusively on skin color and expressiveness of the eyes, which is achieved with the help of saturated arrows on the upper eyelid and soft shades of shadows or their complete absence.
Korean variation of makeup is very similar to Japanese. The basis of this type of make-up is a perfect smooth face. When creating a Korean make-up, several characteristic nuances should be taken into account:
- The skin of the face should be perfectly smooth, even, without visible flaws. Be sure to use a cream under the tonal basis. The powder should be without a shade, i.e. transparent, presented in white consistency;
- Makeup should include an impending century. Techniques suitable for applying shadows: relief and gradient. Shades used: pink, powdery, light brown, ash gray;
- The arrows are drawn exclusively classic, no longer than the upper line of the eyelid. Choose brown or black nuances, in no case color;
- Eyelashes should be colored carefully with brown or dark gray mascara to create a maximally natural look;
- An important component is a slight blush on the cheeks, suitable for the skin color type;
- For lips, use either creamy lipstick of neutral nude shades with a pink undertone, or a transparent gloss, or tint.
When creating Korean and Japanese make-up, it is forbidden to use dark and too bright shade colors, as well as excessive applying highlighter.
Oriental Eye Makeup
Makeup in oriental style is suitable for almost any girl who knows what colors can be used to create it. However, the basic rule when choosing a shadow palette is matching eye color.
Some, of course, may resort to the use of colored lenses, but for convenience and in view of the undoubted advantage there will be the correct selection of eye shadow shades.
Ideas for brown
Every makeup artist knows that for blondes, redheads and brunettes with brown eyes, it is best to use cool shades that beautifully emphasize the iris of the eye. Oriental makeup is perfect for a stage performance.
Moreover, Korean and Japanese make-ups are especially suitable for brown-eyed girls, since they are performed mainly in nude shades.
Also, brown-eyed beauties are suitable for make-up in brown and gray shades. Nude lipsticks with a matte or cream texture will help complete the look. In this case, it is better to choose lipstick several shades darker than skin color.
The most suitable shades of shadow for brown-eyed girls: pink, purple, purple, chocolate, black, dark gray, golden and shades of green. Lipsticks are chosen exclusively nude shades with a pink or bronze undertones.
For green eyes
Makeup for dances to the owners of green eyes can be made shimernymi and matte textures. For solemn evening events, more restrained options with the addition of a bright accent will do.
To emphasize the beauty of the natural shade of the iris, shades in green shades will help. The most popular color in 2024 is emerald, which blends perfectly with black and turquoise tones.
To diversify the image, you can use a golden shimmer, but the silver shine in the makeup should be avoided.
Holders of green eyes should pay attention to the brown palette, including shades: bronze, metallic, gold, champagne, cinnamon. The use of purple nuances is relevant.But it is better to avoid options with a red undertone.
Makeup for blue eyes
Blue-eyed girls are more likely to make delicate make-up variations made in pink and nude shades. Purple, violet and dark blue shades can be used as an accent. At the peak of popularity - the color of indigo in combination with a black and dark ash-gray shade.
In addition to classic pink and gray shades, suitable for owners of blue eyes, also a good option would be a nude makeup in oriental style. A striking example is the Korean make-up with arrows and tint.
Regardless of the style of oriental makeup, whether it is rich Arabic, bright Indian or delicate Korean and Japanese, you should always rely on your own eye color, skin tone and, of course, personal preferences.
