Makeup is a great ally of women, whether on a daily basis or on special occasions. Undoubtedly, it is a powerful resource for masking imperfections, but it also offers possibilities to highlight the already valued points of the face.
For makeup to fulfill its function, which is to enhance the look, it must be balanced. The information contained in the eyes and mouth must be balanced and in harmony, especially when we decide to dare a little more.
However, it is important to note that having access to the correct information, it is possible to use it in the most appropriate way and even adapt it from day to night visuals with just a few taps.
Get to know practical combination options
Last minute appointments often come up, but we don't have enough time to plan our makeup choice or even execute it. With that in mind, we've made a list of ten makeup combinations, highlighting the eye and mouth regions, to optimize your time and encourage you to try new combinations. See the tips below prepared in collaboration with makeup artist Reijane Alves, Marcos Proença Hairdressers.
1. Outlined and red lipstick
This combo is a makeup classic and fits perfectly into any skin tone, but requires a little more attention to applying red lipstick, which should have a precise contour. Makeup artist Reijane adds that this combination can be worn both day and night, and on harmony with the look she advises the use of light-colored clothes to highlight the make.
