We love the Italians – not only their fashion style, but also their beauty know-how. We reveal four secrets that each of them knows. What about you guys
Use colors correctly
If there is one golden rule that almost every Italian observes, it is this: restraint is the key – at least when it comes to bright colors. The Italian bloggers and It Girls use a striking tone – like red or pink on their lips – and the rest of the make-up stays rather simple. When the eyes are emphasized, the Italian girls usually don't wear anything on their lips (or just a gloss). So the look looks harmonious and not too blatant. Generally speaking, the Italians tend to have less colorful shades – they focus on naturalness.

When it comes to eyebrows, the Italians don't fool us. Your secret? To let something grow! Because you don't get full brows through permanent plucking. If you want full brows, you just have to grit your teeth. This is how the hair finds its own, completely natural shape. And in the end it doesn't matter if a few more hairs can be seen here and there. Because it is precisely this very concise, bushy look that Italians love – and so do we. Especially in the front area of the browbones, the hair can get a little out of control, but not so much at the back. You can easily tame and shape them with a brow gel. If you have too many gaps, you color your eyebrows regularly, so you don't even notice!
Keep it simple
Italians let their skin breathe – that's why less is more, especially when it comes to make-up. Foundation? Nothing! Since your skin usually already looks sun-kissed anyway, most imperfections and shadows under the eyes are only covered with concealer. Firstly, it is more pleasant in warm temperatures and secondly, the result looks much more natural. The same applies to evening make-up: Less if more. With Smokey Eyes and Co., too, they don't exaggerate, but rather rely on muted colors and textures suitable for everyday use. It doesn't always have to be colorful.
Sleek hair
Even if we don't always feel like conjuring up a cool hairstyle – it would make a crowd. The Italians, for example, rely on a strictly tied sleeky bun or plait in every situation. It always looks stylish and classy – without any great effort. On the beach, at work or at an event, this hairstyle is a real all-rounder. Trust us!
