Skin tone, hair color, eye color.
"If two elements are warm, the prevailing colors for make-up will be warm ones. And vice versa for the cold ones. These are the rules for harmony, with these you are not wrong but you can certainly break them and play with contrasts, making up for example a blue eye with golden or mustard tones ", says
Donatella Ferrari
, Giorgio Armani Beauty Make-up Artist.
In short
, with the make-up you play beyond the rules of armocromia
that are valid and guaranteed, you start with those to break them how you feel at the moment, what image we want to communicate.
"Every woman is a world, she is unique - she loves to repeat Ferrari - but this uniqueness is not monolithic, it varies according to the mood".
1) Never exceed the quantity,
never too much product, there is no need to use seven quintals of foundation that will make us look like masks and dirty clothes, just a little pigment and blend well.
In particular, the discourse applies to the foundation: a perfect base made in a workmanlike manner with little product blended well will have its function to even out the complexion, communicating freshness and without thicknesses that weigh down.
A nice base - comments Donatella Ferrari to ANSA - is already a nice change.
2) Always remove make-up in the evening, removing all traces of make-up.
Treating the skin well
, our most precious tissue is the basis of everything: internally by drinking lots of water and externally treating it with masks, weekly exfoliants, daily hydration and cleansing.
3) Make up is geometry
: if the shape of the eye goes a little down, the outer corner must be made up to look up;
if the eyes are close, the make-up must be faded outwards to give the optical impression of moving the eyes away and vice versa if we have them far away, they can be 'corrected' by making up with shades that go inwards.
The trending colors for autumn - winter?
"The shades of blue, all the possible shades, perhaps with flashes and sparkles as in the Armani fashion show on July 5th with models who had a glitter under the eyelids".
Attention we are not talking about glitter but about the point of light.
The line on the eyes?
The eyeliner has not faded, it is always there, it gives depth to the look, but it accompanies the shape of the eye without exaggeration otherwise we risk highlighting the defects.
The line is therefore a little thinner and stops at the height of the lashes without the tails anymore.
Or it is often done but then it takes the whole eyelid and must be blended a lot or becomes, for special occasions, a characterizing feature.
We play with
lipstick ,
we dare
with colors ranging from beige to coral, strawberry red, sienna, "lipstick is really our daily game tool", he says.
The novelties in make-up are in
the textures: the velvety balm powder
to be diluted with your finger and amalgamated with the foundation for a touch of color on the cheeks, or to be used as an eyeshadow.
A practical all in one, technically advanced to last all day without flaking and super comfort as a texture.
Social networks dictate trends, are there tutorials on
TikTok
on everything and the opposite?
"They are bizarre but also very funny, they can break the rules of color harmonization but
make-up is experimentation
, nothing happens to make up in an unconventional way, rather we want to say it? It's an easy freedom that we can give ourselves".
