I didn't expect lighting to have such a big impact on my makeup?!

I don't know if anyone has had this experience ... After putting on makeup in the bathroom, I found that the soft makeup in the bathroom was thick in the sun, and the color of eye shadow and the thickness and color of foundation make-up changed. Why? We have to talk about the impact of light on makeup. Under different light sources, the makeup looks drawn are also different!

The Influence of Light on Makeup - Color

When it comes to light sources, color temperature is essential. The color temperature of a light source is expressed in Kelvin (K), which visually indicates that the higher the color temperature, the more obvious the tendency towards blueness, and the lower the color temperature, the more obvious the tendency towards yellowing. Under the yellow light, the painted makeup looks soft, but under the sun, eye shadow, powder blusher, lipstick, and foundation make-up will be much thicker than under the yellow light. The color also looks very different from the yellow light, so it is not recommended to make up under the yellow light. Make up in dark light, eye shadow powder blusher, including lipstick color will unconsciously deepen, will reveal its original appearance in the sun, really a disaster. The most natural light source for makeup is sunlight, and the color of the makeup under sunlight is the most realistic. The lights on professional makeup stands are usually like this, which can provide a clearer view of the color details of the makeup. If we don't have a professional makeup stand for daily work, gatherings, outings, and other occasions, we can apply makeup under white light. White light can be LED lights, etc., so that the makeup drawn will not differ too much from that under sunlight. When we want to be active at night after putting on makeup, we can choose a yellowish light for makeup, which looks beautiful under the night light!

The Influence of Light on Makeup - Direction

When the light is above the head, the light will form a shadow on the face. For example, a dark eye circle will be formed under the nose, which will also lead to obvious wrinkles, prominent cheekbones and other problems. This shadow will greatly affect our judgment of facial bulges, depressions and blemishes. Under the shadow, the eye shadow will not be clear about the depth, which will greatly affect makeup.

The ideal makeup light source is to shine from the front onto the face, and the structure of the face is similar to that under everyday lighting. Can makeup be used to compensate for the tear troughs, small spots, blemishes, and subtle bumps and depressions on the face that help us identify them!

If a girl who pursues professional light sources has a dressing table at home, she can install white lights around the mirror to avoid lighting problems and make her makeup easier and more enjoyable. If a girl doesn't have a dressing table, she can prepare a smart makeup mirror at home!

You can adjust the intensity of different lights, white light and yellow light. Choose the brightest white light source for makeup during the day, which is very close to daily light. When you go to work, you won't step on lightning. When you have dinner or play at night, choose a warm and yellow light, and your makeup look will also be charming at night!
