Leading stylists believe that it takes a little effort and the same amount of time to create a traditional evening makeup. How to properly paint your eyes?
- First, you need to prepare your eyes for applying makeup with a concealer cream or a correction pencil. The role of the concealer is to hide the effect of dark circles under the eyes. It is necessary to apply a few drops of concealer to the area under the eye and blend in the direction from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. Rub gently and gently using the pads of your middle fingers.
- Then apply the eye foundation to the eyelid. The foundation will determine the durability of all your makeup for the upcoming evening.
- The next step is eyeliner. To do this, you can use a pencil or liquid eyeliner, but dark shadows will make them worthy competition. Make up the eyes should be on the line as close as possible to the base of the eyelashes. If you decide to touch up your eyes from the bottom, then try to draw the eyeliner as carefully as possible under the lower lashes – move from the middle of the eye to its outer edge. The bottom line is best shaded.
- Applying shadows. Most of both domestic and foreign makeup artists use three-level shadows (base – marker – base). Apply shadows best in neat, even strokes from the base of the eyelid towards the eyebrows. Remember, the shadows must reach the brow line.
When applying several shades of shadow, it should be noted that a darker shade is applied directly to the eyelid itself, and a lighter one is applied between the border of the eyelid and the eyebrows.
- Lighten the eyes by applying a small amount of light shadows over the inner end of the eye, and the eye will instantly transform and sparkle.
- Emphasize the eyebrows by applying a small amount of light shadows in the direction from the middle to the outer edge (the advice is not suitable for those who have light eyebrows, in this case, you need to apply tinting with a special pencil or paint).
- For the effect of lush lashes before applying mascara, they need to be slightly twisted.
- At the end of the eye makeup, apply mascara to your lashes. It is better to place the mascara brush at the base of the lashes and, gently swaying from side to side, go to the tips of the lashes. Apply another layer of mascara over your lashes.
A special charm to your look will be given by the skillful use of an eye pencil.
The peculiarity is that when using it, the lines should not be too sharp and bold.
To create makeup, it is better to use a classic pencil (not liquid), well sharpened. First, you need to apply shadows to the area where the pencil line is applied, so that the line lasts as long as possible and does not melt.
The traditional way to draw a line in the upper part of the eye is from the inner edge of the eye to the outer edge in one solid line. From the first time, it is unlikely that it will work exactly, so you will need to “watch” your hand for several days.
In the lower part of the eye, it is better to obscure the line with your finger, so that it does not stand out too much.
When creating different types of eye makeup, you should take into account that the technique of applying cosmetics varies. In one case, you emphasize the inner edge of the eye, in another, you focus on the outer edge, somewhere you just need eyeliner, and somewhere a couple of pencil strokes are enough.
When using shadows, it is important to consider such points as:
- correct blending of shades. Stylists recommend using at least three shades: basic-light, basic and dark-for the borders of the eye. The base shade is applied to the entire surface of the eyelid, and after that the main color is applied. After that, you need to carefully examine the intermediate result and eliminate the shortcomings;
- before you start the final application of makeup, you should experiment in front of the mirror with a combination of different shades of shadows.
Do not be afraid to experiment with bright shades of shadows. A certain color scheme will help to emphasize your eye color, and then your entire face will acquire expressiveness and become an object of attraction for enthusiastic glances.
Glitter shadows do not lose their relevance, but there is one “but”: they can give out your fine wrinkles, so it is recommended to apply such shadows only on even eyelids.
And, of course, do not skimp on beauty, or rather, on cosmetics to create a delicious eye makeup. Also, haste is not your ally. Therefore, you need to approach the creation of makeup more than responsibly.
