Most often, behind a successful selfie are a lot of effort. It is important to choose the right angle , competently catch the light and , of course , take care of makeup. Main , that you should remember: makeup for selfie ever brighter , than the everyday. Why? The camera neutralizes part of the makeup , so you can safely try those colors and techniques that you were afraid of before. Professional stylist , make-up artist and hairdresser Tata Dabizha shares with Cosmo readers the secrets of a perfect selfie.

Put it all , you need to hide

“ So , you are standing in front of the mirror and ready to create. The first , where you have to start your makeup - the correction of shortcomings and problem skin. Use concealers or correctors , to hide under-eye circles , pimples or any skin imperfections. Then use a brush or sponge to apply a dense foundation. Always secure the tone of a compact or loose powder , to get rid of unwanted shine on your face. "

Contour and sculpt

“ The next step is sculpting the face. You , probably , noticed , that selfie face often looks flat? To avoid this , it is necessary to properly “draw” facial features. The bronzing powder or blush of the “Taupe” shade will help you with this. Be sure to darken the cheekbones , the upper and side of the forehead , as well as the lower part of the chin. To make your face look fresh and radiant , add a little pink blush to your temples and protruding forehead sections. At the end, apply a little highlighter or reflective powder to the brush and walk along the chin , cheekbones , back of the nose , areas under the eyebrows and above the upper lip. ”

All attention is on the eyes

“ The main rule of a successful selfie is an expressive look. Eyeliner you to help , because nothing underscores the depth of the eyes , as the graphic quality black arrows. Now do eyelashes. First, use a curler ( eyelash curler) to bend them , and then apply a couple of layers of bulk mascara. And don’t forget about the eyebrows! Just select eyebrows or draw a new shape for them - the choice is yours , the main thing is to pick a tone-on-tone pencil or darker tone. Finally, fix the eyebrows with gel. ”

Don't forget about lips

“ Now attention to the lips! To start, use a lip scrub - it will remove excess skin and prepare your lips for applying lipstick or gloss. I advise you to bet on matte lipsticks in saturated colors or dense lip glosses with various effects. And one more thing: a sincere smile always looks more attractive at times , than plain-old "duck lips". "

No complicated hairstyles

“ Here you are standing all so beautiful in front of the mirror , but something is missing , right? It's time to pay attention to the hair! No complex pilings should not do it , just enough to give your hair a neat appearance , so they look natural and easy. My favorite is careless curls. Divide the hair into several voluminous strands and wind it with tongs or an iron. Then “break” the curls with your hands , tilting your head down. ”
