Under the sun Tuscany: how to make Italian makeup?

The main goal of Italian makeup is to enhance natural beauty with a dash of glitz. This look, which draws inspiration from the warm hues and lively culture of Tuscany, emphasizes highlighting your best features with earthy hues, gentle blends, and a sun-kissed glow.

Whether your goal is to achieve the carefree elegance of an Italian summer or just add a touch of Mediterranean charm to your appearance, learning this makeup technique will infuse your routine with a revitalizing, radiant vibe.

To help you achieve that classic Tuscan charm, we’ll go over the essential components of Italian makeup in this guide, from picking the perfect shades to applying them with skill.

Makeup features typical of the south of Europe

Italians typically take great pride in their expressive looks. Additionally, they don’t shy away from vivid colors and dramatic styling. Draw wide arrows to draw attention to the dark brown eyes, and balance them with a red lip accent—very Italian. The word "fatal" best describes this makeup. Yes, they do not apply this kind of makeup in the morning. Italians only use mascara, even out their skin tone, and emphasize their eyebrows in their daily beauty routine. However, they choose makeup that can be considered daring in our latitudes for a date or party.

The key to nailing an Italian makeup look that draws inspiration from Tuscany’s sunny landscapes is to embrace warm, earthy tones and a natural, radiant finish. You can capture the carefree elegance that characterizes Italian beauty by emphasizing soft, sun-kissed skin, delicate eye makeup, and a hint of warm blush. This tutorial will take you step-by-step through the process of creating a classic look that works for any setting.

How to transform into an Italian: step-by-step photo instructions

Assemble everything that will be needed to create Italian-style makeup.

Shadow:

• Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation,

• NYX Professional Makeup Bright Idea blush stick.

Eyes and brows:

• Helena Rubinstein eyebrow pencil,

• NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate – Warm Neutrals eyeshadow palette,

• Maybelline New York EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeline 24H – 01 Black gel eyeliner,

• NYX Professional Makeup Worth the Hype mascara.

Lips:

• lip pencil NYX Professional Makeup Lip Liner – Peekaboo Neutral.

Using your fingers, apply the foundation, then blend it in with a damp makeup sponge. To conceal dark circles under the eyes, use a concealer that is marginally lighter than your skin tone. Use a pencil to paint your eyebrows.

Brown matte shadows should be used to highlight the orbital line, and shimmery light shadows should be applied to the moveable eyelid (a little shine in this type of makeup won’t hurt). Shaded arrows look great with eye makeup. To achieve this, draw the tails of the arrows and line your eyes along the upper lash growth line. Then, use a small barrel brush to shade the line while the eyeliner is still wet. Apply a layer of black mascara to your eyelashes.

Italians frequently use a matte bronzer in place of a sculptor to lightly contour while highlighting their tan. Apply the bronzer in the same manner as you would if you were drawing the number three: from the side of the forehead to the cheekbone, then from the cheekbone down the length of the face to the lower edge of the lower jaw. Shade the apples of your cheeks toward your cheekbones with peach-pink cream blush.

Using a nude pencil to shade the lips and a dab of cream blush in the middle. An Italian woman’s daily appearance is ready!

It’s easy to turn this daytime makeup into an evening look, by the way. Apply lipstick in a wine or red shade. You can use dark brown matte shadows to cover the entire orbital line and lower eyelid, as well as black shadows to accentuate the outer corners of the eyes. You can enlarge the arrow if you’d like. However, in this instance, make sure to highlight the inner corner of the eye or add delicately shimmering shadows.

Secrets of Italian-style makeup for blondes

Generally speaking, Italian women have dark skin and hair. Do not be offended if these traits do not apply to you. After all, a lot of the methods used by Italian women are still applicable.

• For example, careful development of the tone is a must for fair-skinned blondes. After all, it is the owners of fair skin who have the most noticeable redness, veins and bruises. By the way, we talked about how to hide all the skin imperfections in this video.

• A shaded arrow will also work great for blondes. If you don"t want the look to be too dramatic, you should think about the choice of shade. Choose classic black only for an evening event.

• For an everyday look, blue-eyed and green-eyed people should replace black eyeliner with gray or graphite. And brown-eyed people should use coffee eyeliner – it will make the natural eye color visually brighter.
• You have been invited to a reception? So, you can afford a little more. Feel free to apply classic scarlet lipstick to your lips.

• And for an everyday look, use peach-colored lip gloss.

What kind of makeup do Italian brunettes prefer?

Girls with dark hair are taught all of the Italian techniques. After all, their makeup is typically created with brunettes in mind.

However, it is crucial to take the skin tone into account. A bronzer will successfully draw attention to dark skin.

Bronzer, however, is inappropriate if you have translucent skin with a blue undertone. Swap it out for a pretty peach blush. They’ll make your skin appear more youthful. Use a similar shade for your lips and eyes. If we’re talking about the eyelids, then use the same blush, but make sure to spread it over the base. In order to better fix the texture, it is preferable to apply lip color using your fingertips and lightly patting motions.
