From the block to the most sophisticated dance, a well-made makeup makes all the difference. As folia rhymes with glitter, colors and special productions, it is time to think of the look of Carnaval, which can be both that improvised make and a megaproduction, with head prop, hairstyle, apply. Anything goes to shine in the revelry!

Responsible for productions with muse Erika Januza, makeup artist Yago Maia and stylist Vitor Carpe created a special and inspiring look for the actress, who is the drums queen of Viradouro. Who signs the photos of the beautiful production is Guilherme Lima. Erika caused rage in the school's technical trials displaying a silver costume with a headdress that made her shine even brighter.
" In this make I wanted to introduce you as a jewel. I used stones to compose the makeup and added a lot of shine to match the look. The purpose of this beauty was to further accentuate a glamorous side that she already delivers. We finished with a silver eye and an outline that is already Erika Januza's signature," defines Yago.

The United of Viradouro is the last school to parade on Monday of Carnaval, 20/02, and in its plot, will tell the life and work of "Rosa Maria Egypiac", Rosa Courana, who was considered the first black woman to write a book in the country.
Visual impacting from the wires

Glitter, glitter, colored spray and many props are used in hairstyles for all hair types during the Carnaval. The spray, then, is a fever, because it is easy and quick to apply. But doesn't this whole arsenal damage the wires? The hairstylist Rudi Werner teaches some of the tricks to rock on Carnaval and still keep the hair healthy:
“ A homemade recipe able to save the health of your ginger and green tea mix yarn. These two elements are able to remove the pigments from the spray, for example, without causing disturbances, but it is necessary to make a protection first,” Rudi Werner teaches. According to the expert, even before spraying, protect the hair with tip repairer and combing cream. At the time of removal, mix the two natural ingredients, wait to cool and wash your hair with tea. The same goes for removing glitter.

The success of this mixture is because the ingredients are astringent and rely on antipollution factor. Therefore, the tea is able to remove the pigments without attacking or damaging the wires.

Watch the eyebrows makes a difference in the final result
The eyebrow can also assume the role of protagonist when it comes to makeup. the highlight of eyebrows can become a great attraction in make, making the look totally exclusive.

There are several ways to adorn the hair over the eyes, but the ideal is to hear what the experts have to say. One of them is the makeup artist and hair designer Felipe Feitosa, who teaches techniques to create a look embellishing the eyebrows:
“When it comes to folia, it’s worth betting on shine, such as silver or gold eyebrow, for example, and creating a bold makeup that matches the weather. The moisturizing ointment is a great option to paste glitter on the face and have an incredible durability, without worrying about the touch-up.”, teaches Feitosa.

According to Felipe, glitter always has a special effect on the visuals for the folia. A good result can also be achieved by watering a well pigmented shade with water. Just apply it to your eyebrow and let it dry, which has a wonderful effect.
An easy and super different way is the "gram" model.
“ With a hair ointment, the effect is undone and with a green shade the “gram” is painted. Small flowers and/or butterfly stickers can also be added, as well as hair accessories. It looks wonderful and original”, points the makeup artist.

Finally, Feitosa indicates the "Eye of Horus", a distinctive design style created from a symbol of the ancient Egyptian religion that represents well-being, healing and protection.
