Tips from make-up professional
© Sophie B. KrugerWhich rouge color is right for me? And how do I best apply it?
Sophie B. Krüger: Color: Is your Hautunterton rather golden, I recommend you apricot-colored rouge, he is rather rosy, then choose a fresh-pink Rougeton.
There are two standard variations to apply rouge. Variant one: For a fresh day look, simply apply the blush with a large brush directly on the cheekbones, starting from the temple to about the corner of the mouth. The so-called apple cheeks look rather sweet. Variant two: contouring, i. Insert cheeks by placing the rouge just below the cheekbone. This will make the face a bit more modeled, that looks sexy.
Which lipstick does not color or smudge?

Krüger: If you want to look more grown-up then you could emphasize your eyes a little bit more, for example with a nice eye shadow combination, where you should make up the moving eyelid with a medium hue and emphasize the eye contour up and down with a kohl Example by gray, green, or blue tones and they easily blur. No black bars!
How do I best make-up dark circles?
Sophie B. Krüger: Use concealer to cover the eye shadow. It is important that you do not use anything, but a really good product that is also meant for the eye area and not some masking cream that may dry out this area. A very good concealer is the Touche Éclat by Yves Saint Laurent, which is a bit more expensive. Or try a concealer from Artdeco instead.
If the primer looks artificial, you're probably out of color. It's best to test the concealer on the face. The skin on the back of the hand or arm has nothing to do with the color of the face, neither in texture nor color.

Try it with rosewood, cranberry or lilac to purple. It will also be interesting if you combine the different colors with each other.
My upper lip is much narrower than the lower lip - how do I balance this?
Sophie B. Krüger: I would choose the lip color as neutral as your natural lip tone. It's best to take a pencil and surround your lips with it. In the upper lip, you can paint on the bright edge above the lips edge. If you then paint the lips with lipstick, choose for the upper lip in addition a lighter tone or a glossy gloss - that creates volume.

How can I emphasize my eyes even more?
Sophie B. Krüger: The eyes look bigger when you apply skin-colored kohl inside the rim and use eyelash curler before you wash your hair. Black kohl is often too extreme. Use gray, green or blue black. With a bright, glossy eye shadow on the moving eyelid you can make your look even more alert and fresh. By the way, you could also apply a dark eyeshadow on the eyelash edge instead of Kajal with a thin brush. Do not make your eyes flat in one tone, for example black, but apply another colored tone (eg violet or turquoise) with a slightly iridescent sheen on the moving lid.

Sophie B.Krüger: You have to lend depth to the eyelids. You can do that if you apply dark eyeshadows along the eyelash line and in the eyelid crease, which you let run out at the corner of your eye. The color should be the most intense at the corner of the eye. The rest of the mobile eyelid is made up with a light clay.
I have a thin face. How do I make my best makeup?
Sophie B. Krüger: On narrow faces, on the one hand, a hairstyle helps to create volume on the side of the face - roughly at the cheek and chin level - for example, with a slight wave or gradation. Through make-up you can work at the rouge. To make your face look fuller, you should apply the blush directly on the cheekbone and not at an angle, but horizontally, which also looks healthier and fresher. And once you're at it, you can use the blush to sculpt the rest of the face by applying a bit on the forehead to the hairline, applying a swab to the chin, and then shading the side of the nose.
How do I make-up with a round face?
Sophie B. Krüger: With a round face you can create a little more contour with Rouge in the whole face. If you apply the rouge obliquely and laterally, slightly below the cheek cooking from the temple to the nostril, it stretches the face. Make sure that it does not contain any glossy particles, because they shimmer in the light and would emphasize the round areas. Instead, take a dull rouge or tanning powder, which you then pull from the temple to the side of the cheekbone towards the corner of the mouth. Hide transitions with the brush nice and soft. In addition, you can place a touch of rouge on the side of the forehead, such as between the eyebrows and hairline.

Sophie B. Krüger: You can find very good primers in darker shades, for example, with Mary Kay, as this is an American company. A counselor will assist you in choosing the right nuance.
Which eye makeup suits my glasses?
Sophie B. Krüger: As a spectacle wearer, I recommend that you apply a bit more vigorous eye make-up so that you can see your eyes behind the glasses as well. The special thing about eyewear make-up is that it should be applied a bit more heavily than in people without glasses. Especially when you are shortsighted, the glasses optically reduce your eyes to the effect that the glasses are like a dividing wall between you and your counterpart. Are you far-sighted, then congratulations! The glasses make your eyes look bigger and that can never hurt.

The color depends on you as the color type.

How can I make my lips smaller?
Sophie B. Krüger: If you choose a dark, but not too dark / morbid color and do without gloss, the lips will not look that big.
How do you get a line right?
Sophie B. Krüger: Just to get the eyeliner straight, put it right under the eyelashes. But it does not look particularly good, I think (quite artificial for everyday life), because it often pinches the eye small. But if you have big, expressive eyes, you could draw a line in the inner lid and then draw between the eyelashes. With the look I would only shower and nothing else upstairs. An eye looks best when you place your skin-colored kohl in the inner eyelid and then, with a dark or colored kohl around the middle third of the eye below and from corner to corner, curl it up between the eyelashes and slightly above it. She fills that up optically and they seem fuller.

Sophie B. Krüger: You can cover scars on your face with a special camouflage make-up. You can apply it with your fingers, a sponge or a brush. It is important that you do not wipe, but dab, so that the product is pressed into the skin and holds so well. Maybe that's not necessary, because that's where Microdermabrasion can help. This is a very effective exfoliation method. The is offered by some beauticians, but there are under the name as a product to maintain yourself. Skin blemishes you should rather prevent by care. For a more even skin tone, first apply a liquid or cream make-up, then the concealer, concealer and then a (loose) powder to fix. To dull during the day, a compact powder is suitable.

A personal consultation would be recommended. As a home remedy, you may also be able to mix a face mask: 3 tbsp curd cheese, 1 dash of lemon and 1 tbsp honey. Stir and work for 15 min.
