The main types of makeup are daytime and evening. But besides them, there is a large number of other interesting options.
The Most Common Types of Makeup
- Daytime Makeup. The main feature of this makeup is the use of a foundation of light tones that match the color of the skin and applied shadows.
- Evening Makeup. If the daytime makeup is very light and natural, then the evening one is much brighter. In this case, it is important to use saturated colors, but at the same time know when to stop. Its features include arrows and eyeshadows, brown-red blush, bright lipstick, accent on the eyes and lips. Evening makeup is often used for photoshoots. In this case, instead of a light foundation, it is better to take a darker one. But this is assuming that the photos will be taken in a well-lit place.
Having figured out what classic makeup is, let’s move on to more interesting options:
