It’s one of numerous stereotypes about Italians and, just like any type of stereotype, it’s not completely true…but it does have a kernel of reality to it.
In my experience, people right here are typically extremely concerned with the method they look, as well as they’ll typically put a great deal of believed into what they wear.
There’s likewise a general sense of decorum that people are expected to observe. For instance, you’ll never see college trainees go to class in sweats as well as flip-flops. Here, dressing properly as well as looking good are genuine social conventions.

So, what is makeup’s function in a country where many people always try to gown well as well as look good?
Well, Italians don’t typically utilize as much makeup as you may expect. A common Italian look, which I’ve recreated for you today, will typically function extremely few products.
Care to understand which ones?
Foundation (often a shade as well dark)
The foundation I’m using today is Diego Dalla Palma 2 W. W. Mattifying foundation in 43 warm Beige
That’s for two primary reasons. The very first one is that numerous people believe the function of foundation is to make them look tanned, while the second one is that it’s quite difficult for those right here with lighter skin tones to discover the best color match.
The lightest shade of foundations from Italian brands will typically be my skin tone or darker and, although I’m quite pale, I’m certainly not the palest. even worldwide brands will frequently have a much more restricted shade variety right here than abroad.
Bronzer
KIKO perfect combination Bronzer in 03 Cinnamon dusted around my face
Most Italians don’t contour extremely much, however they certainly like to bronze. A LOT.
Side note: tanning right here is like a religion. If you come back from a beach getaway as well as don’t look heavily tanned, people will comment on that. Unless you look totally brown, the very first thing they’ll ask will be, “Why are you not even tanned??”
It goes without stating that tanning beauty salons prosper as well as bronzer sales never go down.
Simple makeup to improve the eyes
I’ve framed my eyes utilizing Maybelline Master Smoky in 625 burning brown as well as PUPA Vamp! Mascara in 100 additional Black
A common Italian eye look will consist of only two products — pencil liner (either black or brown) as well as mascara. Also, brows will frequently be left au naturel.
Nude/MLBB lipstick

Most Italian women don’t wear lipstick, however if they do, it’s typically in a neutral color. There certainly are exceptions (like yours really — #brightsforlife), however in general it’s quite difficult to see somebody sporting a strong lip.
This is the look an Italian lady may wear to one of our preferred activities, which is andare al ristorante (go to a restaurant). Italians don’t “just go get some food.” many of the time, we cook our own meals from scratch at home, so going to a restaurant is a genuine event, as well as one that needs dressing up.
