Kungani Abesifazane Abaningi Besebenzisa Izimonyo Zamehlo Abomvu?

Ngenyanga edlule, kwenye yezithombe zakhe ze-selfie ezivamile endlini yokugezela, uDoja Cat wafaka izivalo zakhe zangaphezulu ngombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngaphansi nje kwamashiya akhe anombala onsundu. Muva nje uCher ubonwe egqoke isithunzi esikhanyayo esinombala onsundu. UKylie Jenner nomculi uRina Sawayama nabo bathumele izithombe ze-Instagram begqoke izimonyo zamehlo abomvu.

Ukukhanya okubomvu kubonakala sengathi kugcwele yonke indawo kule sizini — kushaywe ngobuhlakani ngaphansi komugqa wamanzi, kubekwe phezulu enkopheni yejwabu futhi kushayeke ngaseningizimu kuya ethanjeni lesihlathi. Izimonyo zamehlo abomvu zithandwa kakhulu kangangokuthi i-Dior isanda kukhipha yonkeama-palette wamehlokanyei-mascarauzinikele emthunzini. Umdwebi wezimonyo uCharlotte Tilbury wethula i-mascara ye-ruby kanye noPat McGrath, eyakhe ngesimo se-pink ekhanyayo enama-undertones abomvu.
Ukuze uqonde ukuthi kungani, ngokuzumayo, i-mascara ebomvu, i-liner kanye ne-eye shadow sekuyinto evamile, umuntu kufanele abheke i-TikTok kuphela, lapho izitayela ezincane zichuma khona. Lapho, izimonyo ezikhalayo - amehlo acwebezelayo, izihlathi ezicwebezelayo, izindebe ezigobile - kungenye yezinto ezintsha ezicatshangelwayo. Kwenye ividiyo yezimonyo zentombazane ekhalayo, uZoe Kim Kenealy unikeza isifundo esisakazwa kabanzi sendlela yokufinyelela ukubukeka okuhle njengoba eshaya isithunzi esibomvu ngaphansi, phezu naseduze kwamehlo akhe. Kungani? Ngoba, njengoba esho, "uyazi ukuthi sibukeka kahle kanjani uma sikhala?"

Ngokufanayo, izimonyo zamantombazane ezibandayo, okugxilwe kuzo imibala epinki nebomvu ezungeze amehlo, impumulo nezindebe, kuyajikeleza. Kumayelana nokwenza kube mnandi ukuba ngaphandle emakhazeni, ngaphandle kwemimoya enamandla namakhala agelezayo. Cabanga nge-après-ski, izimonyo zonogwaja beqhwa.
Izimonyo zamehlo abomvu kanye ne-blush ebekwe ngokugqamile eduze kwamehlo nakho kuhlobene namasiko obuhle ase-Asia. I-blush engaphansi kwamehlo ibilokhu ithandwa eJapane amashumi eminyaka futhi ihlotshaniswa namasiko amancane nezindawo ezifana neHarajuku. Kodwa ukubukeka kwayo kuqale kude kakhulu.

“EShayina, ngesikhathi soBukhosi bukaTang, i-red rouge yayibekwa phezu kwezihlathi bese ibekwa emehlweni okwenza isithunzi samehlo esinombala obomvu,” kusho u-Erin Parsons, umdwebi wezimonyo odala okuqukethwe okudumile komlando wobuhle ku-inthanethi. Uphawula ukuthi umbala waqhubeka usetshenziswa ezimonyweni amakhulu eminyaka, ngisho nanamuhla ngaphakathi kwe-Chinese Opera.
Ngokuphathelene ne-mascara ebomvu ye-Dior, uPeter Philips, umqondisi wokudala nomfanekiso we-Christian Dior Makeup, waphefumulelwa yisidingo se-red eye shadow e-Asia. Ekuqaleni kobhubhane, i-red eye shadow eyodwa ye-Bordeaux yayiyimbangela yesithakazelo enkampanini. Kwakukhulunywa ngokuthandwa kwayo futhi kudinga ama-brick shades amaningi.

“Ngangithi: ‘Kungani? Iyini indaba ngemuva kwayo?’” kusho uMnu. Philips. “Bathi: ‘Kahle, ikakhulukazi amantombazane amancane. Aphefumulelwe abalingiswa abawathandayo kuma-soap opera. Kuhlala kunedrama, futhi kuhlale kunenhliziyo ephukile namehlo abo abomvu.’” UMnu. Philips uthi ukuvela kwezimonyo ezibomvu kuyingxenye yesiko lama-manga elihlanganiswe nochungechunge lwezinsipho, kanye neqiniso lokuthi noma yini eyenzekayo endaweni yobuhle yaseKorea ivame ukuwela emasikweni aseNtshonalanga.

“Kwenze izimonyo zamehlo abomvu zamukeleka kakhulu futhi zaziwa kakhulu,” kusho uMnu. Philips.

Ubomvu obuzungeze amehlo kungaba umqondo owesabekayo, kodwa abaculi abaningi bezimonyo bathi, ngokwezwi nezwi, umbala uyathandeka futhi uyahambisana nezithunzi eziningi zamehlo. “Kugqamisa okumhlophe kweso lakho, okwenza umbala wamehlo ugqame nakakhulu,” kusho uNkk. Tilbury. “Yonke imibala ebomvu izothamba futhi ithuthukise umbala wamehlo aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, amehlo aluhlaza futhi izothola nokukhanya kwegolide emehlweni ansundu.” Icebiso lakhe lokugqoka imibala ebomvu ngaphandle kokukhanya kakhulu ukukhetha umbala wethusi noma wetshokolethi onethoni ephansi ebomvu enamandla.

“Ngeke uzizwe udidekile, sengathi ugqoke isithunzi esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma esiluhlaza, kodwa usagqoke into ezokunika ukukhanya kwamehlo futhi igqamise umbala wamehlo akho,” kusho yena.

Kodwa uma ufuna ukuba nesibindi, akukho mthunzi olula ongawudlala ngawo.

“Ngithanda ubomvu njengobujulile, esikhundleni, ake sithi, umbala onsundu ongawusebenzisa ukuchaza ukwakheka kwethambo,” kusho uNkk. Parsons. “Sebenzisa umbala obomvu ongacwebezeli ukuchaza ukuma kanye nesakhiwo samathambo, bese ufaka umbala obomvu wensimbi esivalweni lapho ukukhanya kuzoshaya khona futhi kukhanye.” Kunezindlela eziningi zokugqoka umbala obomvu, wanezela, kodwa le ndlela ingafanela umuntu omusha ekusebenziseni umbala ngale kwezihlathi nezindebe.

Enye indlela yokuzama umbala obomvana ongonakalisiwe emehlweni ukuhlanganisa yonke indlela obukeka ngayo izimonyo. UMnu. Philips watusa ukuthi ukhethe i-lipstick ebomvu enesibindi, bese uthola umbala ofanelana namehlo akho. “Uyazi, uyadlala bese uxuba bese wenza kube ngokwakho,” kusho yena.

Uphinde wasikisela ukuthi kufakwe umbala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ogqamile ukuze umbala ovele uqine ugqame nakakhulu. “Ama-eyelashes aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka anohlobo lwe-lava oluphuzi agqame kakhulu, futhi kuyamangalisa ngempela,” kusho yena. “Uma ufuna ukudlala ngombala obomvu, kufanele uwuqhathanise. Ungaqala futhi ukusebenza ngombala oluhlaza. Kuye ngokuthi ufuna ukuya kude kangakanani.”

KuNkk. Parsons noNkk. Tilbury, iminyaka yawo-1960 no-1970 iyindawo yokubhekisela ekuzilungiseni kwamehlo abomvu. Imibala ye-powdery cerise matte yayivamile ngaleso sikhathi.
“Ezimonyweni zesimanje asiboni ngempela isithunzi samehlo abomvu sifika endaweni evamile kwaze kwaba maphakathi nawo-1960 lapho kwethulwa iBiba kaBarbara Hulanicki,” kusho uNkk. Parsons, ebhekisela ngelebula elidumile laseLondon Youthquake lama-1960 nasekuqaleni kwawo-1970. Unelinye lama-palette okuqala eBiba, esho, elinombala obomvu, ophuzi kanye nogolide.

UNksz Tilbury uthanda "ukubukeka okunesibindi kweminyaka yama-70 lapho usebenzisa khona imibala epinki nebomvu eqinile eduze kweso kanye nasemathanjeni esihlathini. Kuhle kakhulu futhi kuseyisitatimende sohlobo lokuhlela."

“Ngempela,” kusho uNkk. Parsons, “noma ubani angagqoka obomvu noma kuphi ebusweni kuye ngokuthi ukhululekile noma unekhono lokudala kangakanani.”
