Avant Garde Makeup

Avant garde is known for being dramatic, artistic, and often extreme. The polar opposite of a natural look, avant garde is all about creativity and expression. The word avant garde itself is a French term meaning 'advance guard,' and refers to things that are unique and new; experimental or innovative in nature. Applied to makeup, this term represents very artistic looks

Where You'll See the Looks

You see these artistic makeup looks on the runway and fashion show models, for advertisements and special photo shoots, in fashion and beauty magazines, and for pageants or performance events. You'll also run across these looks in makeup artists portfolios to showcase their talent, and for makeup competitions or challenge events, as well as holidays and other special events. Some makeup artists and those with particularly expressive and creative personalities may also go avant garde with their makeup any time the mood strikes them for a given day or a given occasion.
For the average woman, avant garde cosmetic styles may not be the norm, but they can make an impact for a special occasion. Women can also glean creative new makeup ideas from avant garde styles and tone them down to a level they are comfortable with for an incredible new look.

Characteristics

Characteristics of this makeup style include:

  • Very artistic and unusual or unique
  • Dramatic and stylized
  • Follow a specific theme or meant to evoke a certain image
  • Often uses bold or unusual color
  • May have heavy emphasis on a specific feature, often the eyes
  • Use of additional mediums beyond the makeup palate, such as gems, feathers, or glitter
  • Use professional quality cosmetics
  • May take a significant amount of time to create

Easy Tips For Getting That Perfect Brow

So from popular demand lets talk about getting those eyebrows looking good and perfect. Eyebrows can change the way your face looks. It conveys your mood, whether you are happy or sad, confused or irritated. The brows says it all. Here are some few tips to help:
  • First of all find out what works for you. Are you comfortable with waxing, or tweezing  or just simply shaping with a blade. Reason being that some of us react to different things. i for example, if i tweeze, am going to have my whole brows swollen for the next 2 days, so I don't like to do it. If you are the very hairy type, I would advice tweezing or waxing cuz the hair is taken out directly from the roots.
  • Now find your eyebrow shape.
Your eyebrow shape is a guide to maintaining your brows. The first step to having great brows is to follow your natural shape when you get your eyebrows groomed. Don’t try and change your shape (i.e. flat to angled) because then your eyebrows can look strange and out of place. Find your natural arch. everyone has this little high arch on their brows.
B- is where your natural arch is. while A and C is where your brows should start from and end at.
  • Keep it looking as natural as possible. There is nothing like having your brows looking beautiful and natural.
