What is Hollywood makeup?
A classic make-up of this kind, as a rule, includes several main points:
- Arrows.
- The presence of shining shadows in eye makeup.
- Red lips.
Each of these points is carried out taking into account the woman’s facial features and her color type:
- The arrows can change their length, thickness and slightly the shape of the tip.
- Shining light shadows can be either pearl or golden in color. The intensity of dark shadows - for example, in the corner of the eye, or along the contour of the lower eyelid - can also vary.
- And red lipstick is selected in accordance with the color type: from red-coral to rich burgundy shade. The texture can be either glossy or matte, it doesn’t matter.
Let's look at the step-by-step implementation of this makeup, taking into account the features encountered at each stage.
Too much blush
Andrea Riseborough
Sienna Miller
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Jessica Simpson
Blush is an insidious and beautiful part of your cosmetic bag. Usually they are applied to the “apples” of the cheeks, but it is easy to overdo it with color, and this burdens the makeup and the entire image as a whole. A little tip: if you've applied too much color, add a little loose powder to your cheeks or you'll have to wipe off the makeup in that area. You can also prevent disaster by applying pale soft pink or peach shades in a gentle upward motion.
Skin development in Hollywood makeup
Since Hollywood makeup involves the use of red lipstick, it is necessary to work the skin very carefully and hide all redness as much as possible. If this is not done, red lipstick will intensify the color of all inflammations on the face, which will look painful and not at all festive.
Prepare your skin for makeup:
- Wash your face, apply toner and moisturizer, let it absorb.
- After this, you can apply a thin layer of green makeup base to areas of redness on your face - for example, if you have rosacea.
- The foundation itself, applied on top of a moisturizer or base, should be dense and stable.
- After this, concealer is used to mask dark circles under the eyes and spot-correct any remaining noticeable redness.
- Then the face is powdered and a dry facial correction is performed with the help of a sculptor.
- Highlighter is applied to the cheekbones.
What is classic makeup using the Hollywood technique?
First of all, it is always laconicism combined with bright noble tones and impeccable contouring. In the classical understanding, this makeup is usually perceived as black arrows on the eyes and red lipstick. But, at the moment, there are also modifications of it, for example, when smokey eye makeup is applied to the eyes. This is a great option for going out and any special event. An integral advantage of Hollywood makeup will always be its versatility, that is, you can combine it with any evening outfit and your image will be flawless. You can also choose any hairstyle using this technique, from messy curls to a strict bun.
Eye and eyebrow makeup in the makeup of Hollywood actresses
As mentioned above, it is necessary to use shimmery shadows. However, if you apply them on their own, it will look strange.
Therefore, make a classic shadow pattern on the eyelid:
- Use light shadows throughout the upper eyelid, a transitional gray-brown color in the crease and on the lower eyelid, and place the darkest color in the outer corner of the eye and blend it into the crease. If desired, you can make the darkening more intense - for example, add it to the lower eyelid.
- And then apply shining shadows on top of the first two-thirds of the eyelid, starting from the inner corner of the eyes. Blonde girls with blue or gray eyes are better off using pearl shades of such shadows. Otherwise, golden tones will also look beautiful.
- Next, draw an arrow. It should be done with black eyeliner. The arrow can be either wide or light, the length can also be adjusted. The main thing is that it should be clear and graphic.
- False eyelashes will add even more charm to Hollywood makeup. I recommend gluing bundle eyelashes. Paint over the top with mascara.
- As for the eyebrows, I don't recommend adding bright eyebrows to this look as it is very contrasty and includes both bright eyes and bright lips. Therefore, paint your eyebrows as naturally as possible and style them with gel. The only thing you can do is make the ends of your eyebrows graphic.
- Apply a little highlighter under your eyebrow.
Celebrity Makeup Secrets
If you prefer naturalness in everything, then your option is natural, but at the same time sophisticated makeup, like Gwyneth Paltrow. A natural face (or bare makeup) will speak about your confidence in yourself and your beauty. You are beautiful in yourself and you don’t need to prove it with bright colors and rich colors.
To create this look, choose a foundation and powder with a translucent texture. Cover up pimples with concealer. You can use powder with a shimmer effect to give your face a fresh and healthy look.
Don't forget blush when wearing natural makeup. They will give your face freshness. The best option for any skin tone is peach blush applied to the cheekbones.
For eyelashes, it is better to choose brown mascara; it will visually open up your eyes, but will not look unnatural.
For lips, it is better to choose a matte lipstick in a natural shade. To correct the shape of your lips, outline them with a natural color contour. If desired, you can use colorless glitter. With such natural makeup you will look like a delicate, beautiful rose.
If you like bright colors, then you can recommend makeup from Gwen Stefani. The secret of her stellar look is that she highlights her lips with bright color and practically does not apply makeup to her eyes.
To create this look, you can use light texture foundation, transparent powder, black or brown mascara. Apply a small amount of shimmering peach blush to your cheekbones to brighten up your face.
The main emphasis is on the lips. They will look perfect if you first cover them with a nourishing balm to smooth out fine wrinkles. Then you should highlight the contour of your lips with a pencil so that the lipstick does not smear and your lips have a clear shape.
It is convenient to apply lipstick using a thin brush, so it will lie more evenly. Gwen's favorite lipstick is red. You can also highlight your lips with raspberry, bronze or cherry lipstick. Choose the shade that will best complement your look. Such bright makeup will not leave you without attention.
If you want to focus on your eyes, then your makeup option is from Heidi Klum. This is a fairly popular smokey eye that makes the look mysterious, magical and bewitching.
Apply matte lipstick in a natural shade to your lips. Heidi prefers natural beige or light peach. Use light shadows to highlight the upper eyelid and the area under the eyebrow. You can apply a little mother of pearl to these areas. Use it to highlight the inner corner of the eye - this way the look will be more open.
Emphasize the eyelash line with gray shades. Apply very dark shadows to the outer corner of the upper eyelid. Use dark gray eyeshadow to highlight your lower lashes using a cotton swab. Apply several layers of black mascara to make your eyelashes voluminous and long. This kind of makeup can break men's hearts.
Hollywood lip makeup
Finally, the look will be completed perfectly with red lipstick:
- To make it last all day, you must definitely draw a contour with a lip pencil. It can be either red or natural color. Its main task is to make sure that the lipstick does not protrude beyond the contour, since red shades are quite insidious in this regard. Draw the outline of your lips, shade your lips with a pencil, apply lipstick.
- When using matte lipstick, try creating a subtle ombre effect by applying a lighter red shade to the center of your lips and applying a darker shade to the rest of your lips. Blend the border of the color transition.
During the event, do not forget to touch up your lipstick on time, since red lipstick can be quite tricky to wear.
Hollywood makeup from the 50s
You need to start applying your makeup with an even distribution of foundation; it can be thick or liquid, depending on your skin type. Avoid clear boundaries of the face with the neck and ears, otherwise it will look like a mask.
When drawing in your eyebrows, use eyebrow shadows or a sharp, waterproof pencil. At the base (near the nose), the eyebrows should be left translucent; an intense color is applied to the middle of the arch.
A black liner is applied to the eyelid; it should be close to the growth of the eyelashes and seem to merge with them.
The arrows are designed using one of the techniques popular in the 50s:
- A uniform thin line along the edge of the eyelashes, slightly extending beyond the outline of the eye.
- An arrow widening towards the outside of the eye, which also rises upward.
- Evenly thick line. Going beyond the boundaries of the century is not welcome.
When completing your 50s star look, remember that back then it was not fashionable to use eye shadow, glitter, shimmer or pearlescent components. Focus on the thickness of your eyelashes - if yours are short and sparse, you can extend them in the salon or use temporary artificial ones.
Lipstick should preferably have a matte texture; shine should be avoided. The color of the lip cosmetic should be as close to red as possible.
Cosmetics you need for Hollywood makeup
Any representative of the fair half of humanity has in her arsenal a basic set of decorative cosmetics, which she uses daily. In order to apply this evening makeup yourself at home, you need to spend a little more and buy a few more simple products in the store in addition to the existing foundation, concealer and mascara:
- Black eyeliner. It is best to give preference to a marker; it is ideal for beginners and will help you draw a neat arrow;

Lipstick too dark
Amanda Seyfried
Dita Von Teese
Katy Perry
Lily Collins
Kirsten Dunst
Bright and dark lipsticks in rich berry and wine shades have not gone out of fashion for several seasons. However, makeup artists are sure that you should not blindly follow fashion, because these colors do not suit everyone. Dark shades emphasize nasolabial folds and add age. Famous beauties Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba often wear similar shades, which does not always look good and, as a rule, adds years. It is better to choose bright and rich lipstick colors. Makeup artists advise choosing sparkling lipsticks with a “wet” effect, and apply lip gloss on top. A little secret: to make your lips look fuller, apply a little clear gloss to the middle of your upper and lower lips.
