Nude makeup:the right tones for my complexion

Nude makeup:the right tones for my complexion See the slideshow 22 photos A review of your classics is always a good idea. Spotlight on nude make-up, favorite of many of us for its "me better" effect. Or how to sublimate without transforming.

At first glance, putting on makeup to look like you have the perfect complexion, clear eyes, luscious lips just right and shiny nails with only the help of Mother Nature does not seem rocket science.

Except that, in real life, the "Nude" is a very elaborate beauty treatment that requires choosing the texture and the tones that we will use to homogenize, flatter and embellish the face in transparency. To succeed, you have to give yourself time, remembering that the skin is the central element. We don't hide it, we highlight it.

The right nude for the right complexion

For those who have foundation phobia, choose a makeup base instead. There are a plethora of them. They adapt to all skin types, even out the complexion and tighten the skin texture.

“You need one that has a light and transparent texture and whose neutral shade suits everyone, recommends Emilie, in charge of makeup for Benefit Cosmetics. will discreetly dress the skin and no one will see anything but fire. Oily skin can also turn to a moisturizing and mattifying BB cream. Use a transparent powder on top only in case of shine."

If you opt for foundation, select it in the same color or a shade lighter than your complexion because, "during the day, we secrete sebum which brings out the colored pigments" recalls Emilie. Test it on the jaw line. For Joséphine, Makeup Artist Bourjois, it is generally necessary to "apply it with the finger for a more natural look than with a brush and avoid thick textures that are more difficult to apply. Dry skin, heats it a little in the palm of the hand , then apply it immediately on the cream. For mature skin, be light on the quantity."

Video of the day:

We finish with the application of blush, which is to the complexion what mascara is to the eyes:essential. It contrasts the complexion without the exaggeration of contouring. We prefer it in powder to cream presentation for two reasons:the colors are more stable and it is easier to apply. Apricots give a healthy glow to dark skin, copper to dark skin and rosé to light skin.

Nude makeup:what color for my eyes?

With Nude, you can test all textures, beware of shiny, glittery and iridescent shades, and all eye shadow colors. Joséphine advises "the more flattering pink and apricot tones. They suit all complexions as they warm up and all eyes as they enlarge. If you opt for the more bland browns, accentuate the mouth. line of white or flesh pencil on the inside of the lower eyelid. It miraculously opens, awakens and rejuvenates the look".

"For urban make-up, dry shadows are perfect and easy to handle. There's no risk of going wrong with a brown applied with a brush along the eyelashes and then a beige all over the eyelid. For a sun-kissed glowing effect, shadows with creamy eyelids are great. A touch of peach or golden brown at the corner of the eye that we tap on until the fixed eyelid."

You can also decide not to use makeup like Joséphine who prefers to "smooth and illuminate the eyes." Either use an eyeshadow base that is applied 360 degrees around the eye to create a luminous halo that will last all day. Either we put under the eyebrow a line of beige pink pencil because the white marks too much. If necessary, play with concealer to blur dark circles and mattify.

Put on the eyelashes a base of brown mascara. Without material effect the result is very natural. If you are addicted to mascara, choose a softer brown but as intense as black and which goes well with nudes.

Roses and apricots:safe bets for all lips

Here too, you have to choose the right textures and colors.

The gloss is suitable for thin lips even if it lasts less than a lipstick. Very clear, it amplifies the mouth and pumps up the complexion. The classier matte tends to shrink the smile, especially beige. A lip contour allows you to redraw and illuminate it. Finding the right shade can be tricky. Too dark we will only see your mouth, too light it will fade your makeup. Whatever your shade of lips, limit yourself to a maximum of three shades above among the rosés and the luminous apricots.

Light skins pay attention to the fairly ordinary Malabar pink. Variations of dusty pinks or a caramelized beige are more suitable. A rosy beige enhances a matte skin and a black skin chooses a transparent gloss or a chocolate satin.

Nude to the fingertips

Kim D'Amato, Ceo of PritiNY, the vegan nail polish brand that accompanies Stella (McCartney of course) fashion shows, supports the fashion for nude nail polish because, “it lengthens the fingers and therefore the hands. It's the best way to show off with a clean and neat look." Fair skins often have a blue and pink base. A transparent pink varnish or with little material is a must. For dark skin, peaches and toffees and for darker skin, mochas and chocolates. The nails are worn flush with the finger for even more naturalness.
