SOMETHING ABOUT MAKE-UP
When they asked me to write an article about
make-up, I thought about many things.
Riccardo Milone
I could have talked about
trends, products or some
particular technique...
But then I thought
"What am i never
been able to find on
a classic paper/online
magazine?!”, and in
that moment my idea
was born to share with
you something that I
learned at school and that I exploit in the
workplace: the art of getting by.
What do you mean? Very often social media,
television, influencers and advertisements
show us thousands of new c o s m e t i c
products that we absolutely
need! But I assure you that
when you show up on a set
you cannot take every single
product in the world with
you. The same thing also
applies a little to travelers,
for those who cannot
invest too much in some
products… We therefore
try to obtain a total look
with what we have
available.
H e r e a r e s o m e
practical examples: do
you know your favorite lipstick? Try to apply it
gently on the cheekbones and you obtain a
personalized blush! Have you ever thought
that with a simple taupe eyeshadow we can
shade the eyelids, to fill the eyebrows but
also to sculpt the face with a real powder
contouring? Depending on the shade of the
eyeshadow, you can also get an highlighter
or a blush from it! During photo shoots,
transparent lip gloss is often applied to the
eyelids and cheekbones to obtain a very
special effect!
A secret for radiant skin is also to add some of
your highlighter to a drop of moisturizer. Any
lip balm when used together with a little eye
shadow/blush/powder becomes an excellent
shiny lipstick. With this article I don't want to
imply that every product can be replaced!
I myself have a wide range of
products in my
kit, textures and
colors! But I just
want to invite you
r e a d e r s t o
experiment a n d
don’t limit yourself
to what a label says
y o u ( e x c e p t f o r
contraindications and
always using logic)!
