Makeup Psychology

When you makeup in the morning, the aim is to put yourself in value and possibly to hide the little problems (dark circles, pimples, spots). But often is omitted an important detail, namely that makeup should enhance your style and personality. It is what is defined as morpho-makeup. The principle is to approximate the main features of physiognomy with your personality and the tool used is the general tone and style of the makeup. The effect is a harmony between your face and your own style.

Those three floors of the face

Morphological makeup principle was developed by Vanda Garnier makeup specialist esthetician.The theory put into practice by Vanda Garnier says that the face has three floors, each with its significance that sends a certain message .

The first stage starts from the root of the hair,covers the forehead, eyes and eyebrows,and represents the cerebral zone.

The second floor consists of the cheeks, nose and ears,and begins just below the eyes and ends at the upper lip,and represents the affected area.

The third stage starts under the nose, including mouth, chin and jaw area and is named the instinctual area.

This adds more general contour of the face, which will complete the picture and can be round, oblong, oval or square.

"Makeup can not change the world or even yourself, but it may reveal details about yourself that you didn’t knew”, is one of Kevin's Avcoin famous statements, makeup artist and photographer.

Makeup - a face coat

Vanda Garnier says that makeup must adapt to both:how to be, and every day’s mood.

"In this way, achieving a balance between your face and makeup, you can say that the you’re face really represents you” says Vanda Garnier.

Your way of being and the makeup

You are part of the category of communicative, spontaneous, active, humorous people? You will have to put in evidence the lower floor,to strike a balance with the upper floor,very clearly and expressively. Eye makeup should be light, but discreet. Makeup too busy will reduce the natural expressiveness of the eyes;

If you are introverted, withdrawn, romantic score,on the middle floor and give as much facial expression. Care of your skin carefully, do not forget a trace of color on the cheeks and use mascara to give your eyes shine.

The makeup of the mouth should be delicate, discreet but expressive,for showing you’re sensitive nature;

If you are a cerebral person, focuses on the upper floor, to give you’re eyes more providers. Never forget the lipstick!

If you have an asymmetrical face, aims to balance the features with the help of the makeup,because the symmetry is the essence of beauty.

"Adapted" face

According to these ideas, image can be "adapted".Vanda Garnier says that, depending on the situation, your makeup should accentuate one or another feature of the face, because the message that your face sends, and which is received by others, instinctively, to be the one that you want to convey.
