Grunge makeup

The makeup in the style of "grunge" is characterized by pale skin and careless "smoky eyes". This style of music, which was introduced by the legendary band "Nirvana" and, later, in fashion was relevant in the 90s of the last century, and a vivid example of this is the famous top model Kate Moss. Pay attention to her makeup in her youth, this is exactly what the classic “grunge” looks like today. The “grunge” subculture creates a careless lifestyle: “yesterday's” styling and make-up, pale skin, bright dark lips, torn clothes that are larger than they really are, size, in a word, this is “anti-glamor”, which returns to the podiums and modern life.

The grunge make-up has two directions: those sloppy “smoky” ones like Kate Mos or Courtney Love, or the dark eyeliner line of the lower eyelid, made this time relatively neatly. For now, let's talk about the features of the fashionable image and how this type of make-up differs from the rest. Make-up should make it look as if the girl had just come out of a smoky rock bar, returned from a fun trip, or recently visited a concert of a famous grunge rock star.

Take a look at the covers of glossy editions of the end of the last century: this is what a grunge look looks like today: careless dark "smoky" and ideally smooth coating, dull, pale face.

• In the make-up of this kind The light shade of the skin prevails by 2-3 tones lighter than the natural. It is important to maintain a smooth matte and pale tone. You can use light pink blush and do not forget to shade them so that the pigment practically does not remain on the cheeks;
• To dull the skin use matting light powder, it is possible to use powder with light-reflecting particles - it will add some volume to the face and will be useful in photo and video shooting;

• The lower the resistance of eye shadow and eyelinerthe better, so put off the primer until the next case;
• The color of the lips may be dark lilac. or saturated red and nude (beige, pink). If the eyes are very bright and careless ("smoky"), choose bodily lipstick 1-2 tones darker than the skin, otherwise the red pigment lip remedy will do;
• Grunge makeup suitable for any shape. and cut eyes, including Asian beauties with a "heavy" upper eyelid;
• An abundance of mascara is welcome here. - surely 2-3 layers;

• In make-up prevail black, brown, dark green shades;
• There are no clear straight lines., pencil and shadows are always shaded with a brush, and eyeliner is used for brightness and is applied (if desired) as the last thing;
• Eyebrow shaping is not required., enough to brush them with a brush, if desired - to lay a color or transparent gel.

The makeup in the “grunge” style is at the same time careless and bright, it is suitable for a daily look or a party, depending on the occasion, you can use the “smoky eyes” technique or draw only a lower eyelid with a dark pencil.

Careless "Smokey" Kate Mos adored in her youth, and today this version of the make-up is represented by top models. If you describe the image of "grunge", then imagine that you simply did not wash off the makeup in the evening and went to work / party / date in the morning. How to make it step by step, tell you right now:

• To start, lower the lower eyelid black pencil. For shading, you can use a flat brush;
• Apply dark (black, gray) shadows on the lower and upper eyelids, filling the entire space of the latter. Accuracy is useless;
• Circle the bottom one more time and the upper eyelid gel liner is to make the look more expressive and make the image brighter;
• Draw the eyeliner line, repeating the oval contour of the eye and going beyond the reasonable;
• Arrows are inappropriate here.out of the contour of the eyebrow, but it is important to keep the almond-shaped contour of the eyeliner;
• Paint lips red saturated or dark plum color, you can give them a light outline with a pencil or do without it. Observe accuracy with a rich pigment of lipstick, unlike the eyes, it should not go beyond the contours of the lips, in a word, should lie perfectly.

In the “loft-grunge” make-up there are colored “smoky eyes”, it is important that the shade is deep, rich, smoky.

• Make an outline of the upper and lower eyelids. Using a classic black pencil, shade it well, apply it to the mucosa of the lower eyelid;
• It is important to shade a pencil before obtaining a smoky effect, it is good if the eyeliner line is wide;
• Apply colored shadows on all mobile eyelid and lower - the line of growth of eyelashes;
• Use 2-3 layers of black mascara, It can not be much in this technique.

If the first type of make-up is associated with the era of the subculture of rebellion against luxury and glamor, then “soft-grunge” implies the current trends of a slightly puppet-like appearance.

Another technique in the “grunge” make-up is based on a lower eyelid taper, and the line can be either neat or slightly sloppy.

• Apply shadows on the mobile eyelid and blend well beyond the natural limits. The ideal choice would be the creamy texture of a fashionable hue: earthy, khaki, dirty brown, mustard, but you can use any other light or dark “dirty” color of the shadows;
• Lower eyelid move with kayal pencil rich black color, creating a clear thick almond-shaped line;
• Now you need to shade the pencil, a pencil-shaped brush is suitable for this. It should be noted that the line should be smooth and practically not to go beyond the eyebrow (there can be smoke from feathering);
• The fatter line will be lower eyelinerthe more spectacular the image will be. It is important to maintain an elongated oval shape, extending it to the temples in order to visually enlarge the eyes;
• To complete it, choose a flesh-colored lipstick. and a little blush, which should emphasize high cheekbones.

If yesterday, neat lines were present in the image of a modern girl, today, more than ever, Smokey and feathering are relevant. No - smooth lines and tan, yes - smooth pale skin, three layers of mascara on the eyelashes and dark bright lipstick.
