The expert clarifies the main issues on the subject

Makeup is always a broad topic and usually generates a lot of doubts. When applying make-up, it is important to choose quality products, prepare the skin well, know the colors and remember that make-up must enhance natural beauty. That’s why makeup artist Mychelle Pavão answers top questions and gives tips for creating amazing makeup looks.




1. Do freckles need to be masked?

Taste for freckles varies greatly. Some women don’t like them and try to write them off, while others find them fascinating. The trend today is increasingly natural and healthy skin. You must learn to enhance or disguise freckles, and not just disappear with them.

To smooth out the appearance of freckles, use the classic foundation combination, concealer and face powder. Choose a liquid foundation so it doesn’t create a thick, artificial layer on your skin. Blush also helps smooth them out. For more coppery freckles, use a pinker blush. For rosy cheeks, use an earthier blush or even a darker shade of face powder.

2. Loaded makeup and black eyes in the work environment, okay?

At work, your appearance must be healthy. To give your look personality and boldness, opt for colored lipsticks like coral, pink and reddish, but nothing more. If you work nights, as a dancer or hostess, you are free. At night the incidence of light is much lower and the make-up is not as flashy. Never forget: Black eyeshadow is dramatic and sexy, and there’s a time and a place for it.

3. Is there an age limit for colored lipstick?

Today girls start to trick too soon, and even 70-year-old ladies do not go unnoticed. It’s all a matter of tone that matches your skin color. If a 10-year-old girl wants to wear orange lipstick, it doesn’t have to be that dull orange, it can be a softer orange-tinged gloss. You have to pay attention to the tone on tone: orange shoes, orange skirt, orange blouse and orange lipstick are not superfluous.



Children's makeup must be registered with Anvisa

4. Can a child wear makeup?

Many children today want to wear makeup. We must be attentive to the makeup composition they will use. First, the product must be registered with the National Health Surveillance Agency (Brazilian products) and most of the children’s makeup is hypoallergenic.

Children have thinner, more sensitive skin and are more prone to allergies, so they should never use tricks for adults. Another important factor is psychological, be aware of how much it interferes with the child’s ego, self-confidence and dependence. All with moderation and care, okay? Adult make-up can be used more or less from the age of 13.

5. Can red lipstick be used during the day?

Of course you can! When it comes to color, common sense is everything. In addition to being a classic for all skin tones, it must have character, because it will never go unnoticed. Remember that red lipstick is beautiful, but not only.

We must also consider the care of other elements of the make-up, such as the more discreet skin and eyes. The harmony of this set will make you beautiful, without being vulgar and exaggerated. Carry a mirror and the desired lipstick in your purse for touch-ups. Watch out for lipstick-stained teeth and choose the shade that suits you best.

6. Does sleeping with makeup on really hurt your skin? Why?

It spoils a lot! Makeup covers the pores and this prevents the skin breathe, causing aging. In the case of eyelash mascara, it also clogs the ciliary gland, which can cause a stye. The right procedure is: face and eye make-up remover, face tonic to control skin pH, thermal water is optional, but it is anti-aging and helps irritated and tired skin.
