Do you think that blue eyeshadows are suitable only for older ladies, red lipstick looks vulgar, and every self-respecting woman should have only one perfume? Then it’s time to figure out how much all this corresponds to the truth.

Myth #1 bright scarlet lipstick is vulgar.

Are you sure? Red suits everyone and almost any outfit. But it also requires flawless lips. Scarlet lipstick is a classic option. It makes lips look fuller and teeth visually whiter. At the same time, red lipstick with an orange tint can emphasize the yellowness of the tooth enamel.

Myth # 2 lip liner is old-fashioned

The visible lip line was a fixed idea of ​​the eighties and nineties, after which everyone tried hard to forget about it. Today, lip liner again occupies its important place among makeup products, because with its help you can give your lips the desired shape and volume. In addition, lip liner is essential for long-lasting lip makeup. It prevents lipstick from spreading and works wonders. The main thing is to choose a neutral shade and apply it correctly.

Makeup artists do not recommend using a sharpened liner. Otherwise, you will draw lines with strong pressure and the outline will turn out to be unnaturally bright. To make the contour even, it is important to draw the line not from the corners of the lips, but from the “Cupid’s arch” in the middle. Draw as if you were hatching. By the way, a pencil can even replace lipstick. With its help, you can achieve a more durable and dense in color coating, and in addition, you can get a matte effect.

Myth # 3 colored ink is vulgar.

But it is precisely colored ink that will help to make the image original and vivid, add zest to it, make the eyes more expressive, and the look deeper. Of course, provided it is used correctly.

Blue mascara is perfect for brown eyes, as it can make their color even deeper. Also, blue eyelashes are suitable for gray-eyed girls. Owners of blue and green eyes are better off choosing a different shade.

Green mascara blends perfectly with all shades of brown. It can be brown pencil, eye shadow, liquid eyeliner. In this case, the shade of green mascara (best of all malachite) should be darker than the shade of the eyelid.

Mascara in bright (including the most incredible) shades has not been losing ground in the top list of trends for a couple of seasons.

Myth # 4 lipstick, blush and eyeshadow in the same shade are old-fashioned.

In moments when there is no time for a long choice (for example, when traveling) a complete set of monochromatic makeup will help you look natural and attractive. Of course, if it is not sustained in bright purple tones. Today, many manufacturers produce such kits, which significantly saves time and nerves for makeup lovers.

Myth # 5 a real woman should only have one scent.

Perfumers all over the world compete in ingenuity, offering new fragrances. And there really is plenty to choose from! Sweet scents for men, bitter ones for women, unisex perfumes, “pair” scents …

How many scents should a woman have? More than one scent, that’s for sure. It is best to have at least several different fragrances in your perfume collection: festive, office fragrance, everyday fragrance, comfortable fragrance, erotic fragrance.
