The difference between different styles of facial makeup in different cultures
Most of us know that different styles of facial makeup should be chosen according to the type and color of the skin, the shape of the face and its components, as well as the situation in which we are present. In addition, nowadays most of the people in the world try to get closer to their natural appearance at least in their daily life and distance themselves from traditional makeup. However, there are still many people who like to wear makeup in different situations and even in everyday life and are loyal to the traditional makeup of their country.
There are many makeup styles in the world. However, some of them are better known than others. For example, American makeup from the West, French makeup from Europe, Arabic makeup from the Middle East, and Korean makeup from Asia are world famous. Let's compare these four makeup styles.
Comparing different styles of facial makeup
To compare these four makeup styles, we will examine them one by one.
1. eyebrow makeup; thick and distinct or natural?
American makeup
In American makeup, the outline of the eyebrows and their exact shape are important. So, you need to comb the eyebrows to give them a good shape and then fill them in with the eyebrow pencil in a way to create a gradient look. This means that they should be lighter in the front part of the eyebrows and gradually become darker. Then use eyebrow powder on it so that it has a uniform and stable color. If there is something that needs correction, fix it with concealer. This will define the arch of the eyebrows. Do not forget that the end of the eyebrow tail in American makeup is not very sharp.
French makeup
French makeup style does not require defined eyebrows. French women like to keep their eyebrows natural. Hence, the only steps you need to take are combing and filling in your brows, and you don't need to use concealer to define the brow arch.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic makeup, the eyebrows are fuller and thicker and should look quite prominent. You must make your eyebrows angular or arched and with specific lines. Use a brush for this. After you fill in the brows, apply brow powder. Finally, use a heavy concealer around the brows to add definition and definition.
Korean makeup
In Korean makeup, the eyebrows are natural and not prominent at all. Even if there is a defect somewhere and you fill it, they still should not be thick.
2. Eye Shadow; Wide and finned or short and delicate?
American makeup
In American makeup, you must first create a smooth and neutral base with concealer to help the color of the shadow to be seen better. Choose the eye shadow as a combination of light and dark shade and apply a little pressure on the crease of the eyelid. Do not forget that the entire shade is limited to the length of the eye and does not go beyond it. Also, the shade with wide fins is not common in American makeup.
French makeup
French eye makeup only cares about the natural effect. Therefore, if they use eye shadow, their choice will be bronze shade or any other color that is closer to the skin.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic make-up, they use concealer to create a smooth and neutral base for eye shadow. Eye shadow in Arabic make-up is often dark, and their trail is drawn out from the length of the eye in the shape of a wing. It is important that the eye shadow matches the eyebrow. The use of light and pastel colors in combination with dark colors and gradient shading is also common in Arabic style.
Korean makeup
Korean makeup style gives more importance to natural and gentle shades. For this, it is enough to make the eyelid clean and bright as the foundation of the shadow, and then use natural colored shadows. Koreans don't use dark eyeshadow because of their almond-shaped eyes.
3. eye linear; Cat and elongated or wide?
American makeup
American make-up style gives great importance to cat eye line; But they don't raise it too high. Often, it either does not extend beyond the eye area or reaches the point where the outer corner of the eye looks a little elongated.
French makeup
The French make-up style prefers natural eyes without eyeliner or, finally, a short, delicate eyeliner.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic make-up, the eye line is often accentuated and long, and it is usually black. This will make the eyes appear brighter and more defined. Usually, the eyeliner is elongated and its corner protrudes from the length of the eye.
Korean makeup
In Korean makeup, the eyeliner is usually thin and short. The reason is that Korean eyes are almond-shaped and elongated, and they don't tend to make their eyes appear narrower than they are with a wide eyeliner.
4. eyelashes; Artificial or natural eyelashes?
American makeup
In the American make-up style, the eyelashes are usually natural, and finally a little mascara is applied to them. In this style, there is no emphasis on thick and long eyelashes; Therefore, if it is necessary to use artificial eyelashes, a small number of them are placed next to the eyelashes.
French makeup
As always, the French makeup style prefers natural lashes and does not use artificial lashes. They only put mascara on them, that too in an amount that does not become unnatural.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic makeup, eyelashes should be thick and long. Even if the person's eyelashes are long and thick, they still use artificial eyelashes. This is because in Arabic makeup in general, there is a lot of emphasis on the eyes.
Korean makeup
In Korean makeup, natural thin artificial eyelashes and mascara are usually used to have round and bright eyes.
5. primer and cream powder; Heavy or light?
When it comes to foundation, there isn't much difference between different makeup styles. Most stylists like a high-coverage cream powder. Primer is also present in all different styles of face makeup. Primer not only helps makeup last, but also makes it easier to apply other makeup products.
American makeup
In American style, they use a high-coverage cream powder to create a flawless foundation and cover pores. They mostly use the stick type and prefer it to be matte. Their primer is completely matte and smooth.
French makeup
In the French makeup style, because they prefer a natural look, they use a light cream powder that only partially covers blemishes and pores. However, the use of primer in this style is limited to the skin care routine of cleansing and moisturizing the face.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic makeup, cream powder and primer are carefully selected. The coverage of the cream powder should be high so that no texture, pores or blemishes can be seen on the skin. The primer should completely smooth the face. Both of them are selected in matte Arabic makeup.
Korean makeup
Cream-powder is quite compact in Korean makeup style and must have SPF and anti-aging properties. Korean cream powders are very famous and have great coverage.
About the primer, unlike other styles that use a matte primer, in the Korean makeup style, the primer should be shiny.
6. concealer; Illuminating or ordinary?
American makeup
Concealer is important for covering spots and pimples, both under the eyes, and for defining the eyebrow design and other parts of the face. In the American makeup style, a medium concealer that covers the skin is enough. They avoid concealers that lighten the skin too much. In general, Americans are more interested in tanned skin.
French makeup
French women mostly have flawless skin and do not have problems with pimples and moles and the like; Therefore, cream powder is enough for them. Therefore, it is very rare to use concealer in a French makeup routine, unless they have dark circles around the eyes and want to hide them.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic makeup, your appearance should be bright. Therefore, you should use concealers that lighten the skin as much as possible. A light concealer makes the under-eye area look bright and clean and helps the eyeshadow color to show through.
Korean makeup
In the Korean makeup style, concealer is used only to hide blackness and minor spots, and other cases are covered with powder cream. They don't use concealer to define the brow shape.
7. tanning; Hot or cold face?

French makeup
In French makeup, the appearance should look natural. Since most French people have fair skin, an overly tanned face is not natural for them. Therefore, they use a mild tanner to the extent that their skin looks naturally sun-kissed.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic makeup, like the American style, warm and tanned skin is popular. They also use this product to define the angles of the face.
Korean makeup
In Korean makeup, they don't use tanner at all.

Korean makeup
In the Korean make-up style, because they prefer the V-shaped face shape, the contour is applied in thin lines on the jaw line and forehead. They do not use the contour under the cheekbones and on the sides of the nose.

American style usually uses powder blush.

11. lips; Bold and prominent or pale and natural?
American makeup

In general, in American style, nude lipsticks are more common. The best choice is a solid lipstick with a neutral peach color. If you like, you can add gloss or lip gloss on it, because glossy lips are trending.
French makeup
Lipstick color in French makeup always contrasts with eye makeup. If the eye make-up is subtle, the lipstick will be bold, and if the eye make-up is a little more prominent than normal, they will choose a pale lipstick. In general, the French makeup style prefers natural eyes with bold red lipstick.
Arabic makeup
In Arabic make-up, lipstick is more common; Because the emphasis of this style is on the eyes, not the lips. If you're using a liquid lipstick, you can use lip gloss after it dries to add dimension to your lips. Of course, glossy lips are not common in Arabic makeup, so use your fingers to blend them with the lipstick.
Korean makeup
Lips should be soft in Korean makeup style. So, use bright colors for lipstick. One of the characteristics of applying lipstick in Korean makeup is blurring the lip line and darkening the inner part of the lips. This technique makes the lips look like children's lips and gives a gradient effect to the lips. To have gradient lips, it is enough to fill the inside of the lips with tint and instead, blur the edges of the lip line with powder cream. See the image below:
