Sometimes it’s not enough to just look good - for example, at a corporate event, a themed party or a wedding with a non-standard scenario. It is for such situations that face art exists. Let's find out what skills, abilities and materials are needed to perform creative makeup.
To look great both on holidays and on weekdays, use 6 professional eye makeup techniques.
Makeup for special occasions
Face art - also known as creative makeup - turns the face into a real art object. This means there is no talk of any naturalness. Bright details, spectacular techniques and sometimes the most unexpected accessories are used. That is why face art is a separate type of makeup, and it should not be confused with either evening makeup, catwalk makeup, or theater makeup.
Most often, creative makeup is done specifically for costume parties - New Year, Halloween, a themed corporate party or an original wedding of friends are suitable. Making your own face art is very difficult. And since reasons for such a transformation do not appear very often, it is easier and more convenient to invite a makeup artist to your home.
The lower limit for the cost of fantasy creative makeup in Moscow can be considered 1,500 rubles - however, if you wish, you can find more budget offers. The most qualified craftsmen charge from 5,000 rubles for their services.
Korean makeup. Nuances of creation
The beauty of Korean women evokes admiration among representatives of many other nationalities, because it combines simplicity, grace and fragility. Few people know that Korean makeup primarily involves constant and close attention to the condition and appearance of the skin. Not a single day goes by without thorough cleansing and painstaking moisturizing of the skin for all Korean women.
Daily skin care
Korean women are sure that beauty is extremely important for the perception of a woman in society, but at the same time they understand that the use of cosmetics negatively affects the condition of the skin, aging it and clogging pores. That is why, before applying Korean makeup, you need to prepare a base for it.
Korean makeup base is performed step by step - first you need to wash your face using special cleansing foams or gels, then it is treated with an emulsion or moisturizing cream, which is applied with patting movements. When the emulsion is completely absorbed, the skin is re-treated with cream, this time nourishing. Korean women perform these procedures twice daily, morning and evening. Accordingly, day cream is used for morning care, and night cream is used for evening care. Before going to bed, replace the cleansing foam with a makeup remover.
After the skin is prepared and protected from the influence of cosmetics, the application procedure begins. Makeup in Korean is performed according to the following scheme:
- treatment with toning agents;
- applying cosmetics to eyelids and eyelashes;
- working on the mouth area and applying blush.
Foundation
Korean-style makeup begins with working on problem areas of the skin. Using foundation, dark circles and any redness are carefully masked, then the skin is lightly powdered.
When choosing cosmetics, you need to focus on the natural color of your skin or purchase cream and powder a couple of shades lighter than your skin.
Make-up eyes
Korean eye makeup is the most important detail of the appearance of girls of this nationality. The eyelids are treated with shadows of several colors, most often pink and light beige. Light shadows are applied to both eyelids, and then the eyes are lined with a white pencil. Pinkish shadows are used on the movable eyelid in the outer corner and slightly higher - towards the outer corner of the eyebrow.
Korean girls' makeup is often created using eyeliner, which is applied with light movements to the upper eyelid. The line should not be bold or deviate from the natural lash line.
Eyebrow shape correction
Korean girls most often prefer natural eyebrow shapes. They are not afraid of wide and straight lines, and the tip of the eyebrow is most often made pointed. Some Korean women sometimes lighten their eyebrows, painting them with a brownish-red tint.
Muke-up lips
Korean makeup involves using natural shades of lipstick or lip gloss. Korean women with bright or dark lipstick on their lips are a rarity. In addition, oriental beauties do not use lip liner to outline their lips.
In some cases, Korean women use light pink blush, which is applied with light movements. For special occasions, more cosmetics and brighter colors are used.
Features of creative makeup:
- Instead of ordinary decorative cosmetics, special long-lasting products are used.
- A particularly thick layer of foundation is applied under makeup.
- The emphasis can be placed on both the eyes and the lips at the same time.
- The color palette is not limited in any way: along with natural ones, the makeup artist uses a variety of shades, including neon and metallic ones.
- It is not customary to shade contours; clear lines are encouraged.
- Decorative elements are widely used: sparkles, rhinestones, foil, stones, lace. It’s worth talking about them in more detail.
Thematic makeup options

Decorative elements in face art
Rhinestones
Where to place:
in the eye area to visually enlarge them and give shine to the look.
Fine:
small rhinestones on the arrow-eyeliner line; the outer edge of the eyelid filled with rhinestones.
Badly:
- rhinestones on eyelashes - difficult to remove;
- on the crease of the eyelid - not visible and uncomfortable;
- in the corners of the lips - this is the most vulnerable place where the glued parts adhere the worst.
How to apply:
squeeze a small drop of glue onto the skin, apply the rhinestone with tweezers and press for a few seconds.
Lifehack:
When going to an event, bring glue and a few spare rhinestones with you.
Feathers
Where to place:
on the eyelashes of the upper eyelid.
Fine:
accentuate the outer corner of the eye with feathers.
Badly:
decorate the lower eyelid with feathers - this will give the face a sad expression.
How to apply:
Squeeze a small drop of glue onto the tip of the pen and press it to the lash line.
Lifehack:
Glue feathers to eyelash extensions. This decoration is too heavy for natural eyelashes.
Foil
Where to place:
anywhere.
Fine:
scatter small pieces of foil like stardust on your cheekbones; Apply foil to eyebrows or under eyes.
Badly:
use foil if your clothes or accessories already have shiny elements - you will look like a Christmas tree.
How to apply:
for body glue or mastic.
Lifehack:
If you don't have makeup foil on hand, you can use manicure foil or even baking foil.

Makeup in a hurry: eye shadow
The easiest way is to apply powdery caviar texture shadows with a satin (satin) finish with your fingers. We wrote in detail about what eye shadows there are and how to choose them here.
It is more convenient to take creamy shadows not from a jar, but from the back of your hand, first applying a small amount of the product to the skin of your hand.
*The easiest way to highlight your eyes is to apply shadows of a natural shade - beige, gray-beige - to the entire moving eyelid with your middle or index finger. But not necessarily. If you like bright colors, use them. Purple has been declared the main shade of the coming autumn-winter season, and the most current color combination will be purple and pink.
Shadows can also be applied as follows: put a little product on your ring finger and draw a wide arc along the crease of the eyelid, the so-called “banana”, from the inner to the outer corner of the eye. Then draw up the lower eyelid about 1/3 of the way, drawing a light line with your fingertip.
You can do it even simpler. Using your pinky finger, apply some white eye shadow to the inner corners of your eyes to make your eyes pop. Do not use this technique if you have wide-set eyes - visually the distance between them will become even greater.
Take a look at the makeup artists' tricks from the latest Fendi show. Preparing the models for the catwalk, they simply placed accents with silver shadows in the corners of their eyes.
*The finger technique makes it easy to do eye makeup using 2-3 shades. To make a three-color make-up, take three shades of the same color - light, medium and dark. Visually divide the eyelid into three parts. Using your index finger, pick up the lightest shade and apply it to the entire eyelid. Using the pad of your middle finger, take a darker tone and cover the middle part of the eyelid with it. Gently distribute the darkest shade along the outer corner of the eye and along the growth of the upper eyelashes. Using the side of your little finger, draw a dark shade and line of the lower eyelid, starting from the outer corner and approximately to the middle of the eye.
*Good news for smoky eye lovers. In the coming season, the legendary smoky eyes, the flawless execution of which has always been considered evidence of undoubted professionalism, are supposed to be painted with your fingers. Yes, yes, no brushes or sponges! The borders can be fuzzy, the shading and color can be whatever you want. We take as a sample the makeup of models from past shows of fashion houses Jour/Ne, Tom Ford, Fashion East.

Creative Makeup Safety
Of course, we cannot help but worry about how we will look not only at the holiday, but also the next day. So, is creative makeup safe for skin?
Glue
It is quite safe to glue decorative elements to the face if you do it no more than once every 2-3 months.
Face art artists use hypoallergenic glue.
To remove it, just use a makeup remover and then wash with soap.
Decorative cosmetics
In face art, foundation and other products with a very dense structure and high durability are used. All of them make it difficult for oxygen to reach the skin and can clog pores.
Nothing catastrophic will happen within a few hours of the holiday, but before you go to bed, don’t be lazy to cleanse your face of makeup.
Face painting
Face painting is a cross between theatrical makeup and everyday cosmetics. It is applied to the face with brushes and sponges, and washed off with soap and water. Face art masters often use face painting to create creative makeup, and for good reason.
Benefits of face painting:
- safe for health;
- suitable for both adults and children;
- after drying it does not get dirty.
Important to consider
When making an appointment with a makeup artist, specify what kind of makeup you need - evening, club, catwalk, wedding or creative. The extent to which the result meets your expectations will largely depend on the correctly chosen type of service.
Multicolored eyebrows
One of the latest trends is eyebrows in unusual shades. To achieve green, pink or purple eyebrows, don't rush to look for special cosmetic products. Most often, for such makeup, makeup artists resort to familiar cosmetic products - eye pencils, liquid eyeliner or shadows.
For example, to apply shadow to the eyebrows, just spray the eyebrow brush with makeup fixer, then pick up the shadows and distribute them over the entire length. The color is rich and lasting. If the eyebrows are dark and the result is too faded, use liquid or gel eyeliner of the desired shade. Place it on an eyebrow brush (or an old mascara brush, previously washed) and gently comb your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth.

Lips
The final touch to your look is defined lips. Everyday makeup does not forgive bright lipstick, but welcomes natural shades and an emphasized contour.

If you are afraid of making a mistake, choose a lipstick that matches the color of your blush - this will make your makeup look fresh and light.
