This is a special and rather complex art, which takes quite a long time in the entire makeup process. However, the correct technique of execution, as well as useful tips for quick and accurate application of cosmetics will help any woman feel like a professional makeup artist.
General rules and stages of eye makeup
There are many techniques and ways to do eye makeup. But there are also basic rules that are the same for any position, shape or color of the eyes.
Cleansing and preparing the skin First of all,Before applying makeup, the eyes must be thoroughly cleaned of the previous makeup, especially mascara. Remove any remaining cosmetics with a special milk or lotion, or makeup remover. If you have enough time, before applying makeup, you should make a mask for the skin of the eyelids to reduce swelling and puffiness, and dark circles. After that, rinse your eyes with running water and blot with a clean towel or napkin, avoiding friction and irritation of the delicate skin of the eyelids. Apply a soothing and moisturizing gel or eyelid cream to the skin around the eyes, and let it soak in well. Apply the cream with light movements, without stretching the skin of the eyelids. To help the cream soak in, you can make several light patting or drumming movements with your fingertips. After 5-7 minutes, remove the remaining cream or gel with a thin paper napkin, lightly blotting the skin of the eyelids. This will provide additional durability to the products applied afterwards.
Foundation, skin tone correction Makeupeye makeup is never done separately from the entire face. When applying makeup base and foundation to the skin of the face, do not forget about the skin of the eyelids. The makeup base will perfectly moisturize and even out the skin, hide expression wrinkles, provide reliable “adhesion” of makeup to the skin and their durability. To hide dark circles around the eyes, concealer of different colors is used, depending on what needs to be hidden. If it is redness, then use a greenish concealer, if it is blue or purple circles - a concealer with a yellow tint. After masking the imperfections, it is worth applying a little foundation to the skin of the eyelids, which will even out the skin color in this area with the rest of the face. It is a good idea to powder the skin of the eyelids a little with loose transparent powder. However, you should not do this if you have a lot of fine wrinkles around the eyes, the powder will only dry out the skin and make them even more visible. Usually, eye concealers have light-reflecting particles that hide fine wrinkles well.
We emphasize the eyebrows Eyebrows of the correct shape andThe right color can emphasize the look, highlight the eyes on the face. If you ignore the eyebrows, they can ruin even the most beautiful eye makeup. Beforehand, you should correct the eyebrows, give them the necessary shape by plucking, and tint them if necessary. However, you should not do the correction immediately before makeup, since after plucking the delicate skin around the eyes can turn red, swell, become inflamed, and no makeup will hide it. The shape of the eyebrows should be selected in harmony with the rest of the facial features, the location and cut of the eyes. The color of the eyebrows should match the color of the hair, first of all, and also the color of the eyes. Dark and thick eyebrows will be enough to comb with a brush and style with a special transparent eyebrow gel. Light and thin eyebrows need to be tinted a little. Professionals advise doing this with shadows and a brush. This creates the necessary background, with the help of which you can correct the shape of the eyebrow, give it color and thickness.
Applying shadows To make the shadows last long and look goodlay down, you can additionally use a base for the shadows - a special cream base for the skin of the eyelids. You can use any shadows, even creamy ones will stay on the eyelids for a long time if you apply them on the base. However, it is best to use dry shadows for long-lasting makeup - compact pressed or loose. The color of the shadows should be selected depending on the color of the eyes, hair, clothes, according to the time of day and the occasion for which the makeup is applied. For everyday makeup, more muted tones, light natural shades are used. For evening makeup, you can make brighter accents, add saturation and contrast to the colors. It is recommended to choose two or three colors of shadows that are in harmony with each other, or several shades of the same color - from dark to light. The lightest shade of shadows is usually applied to the entire upper eyelid, movable and fixed, under the eyebrow, on the inner corner of the eye. A darker, medium shade is applied to the upper movable eyelid. The darkest color emphasizes the lower eyelid, the outer corner of the eye. If you want to achieve a more saturated color, apply the shadows with a damp brush or applicator. The boundaries between shadows of different colors must be carefully shaded.
Contour pencil and eyeliner Eyelinerand a contour pencil are used to highlight the contour of the eye, giving it a more elongated shape and expressiveness. The pencil should be well sharpened, and the eyeliner should be moderately thick. If you have experience in applying arrows to the eyelid, use liquid eyeliner. Draw the arrow in one motion from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. At the outer corner of the eye, the arrow can slightly thicken and bring the corner up. The harder you press the eyeliner brush to the skin, the thicker the line will be, and vice versa. A contour pencil is easier to use, the arrow can be drawn with it in a few movements. However, the pencil is good when the drawn lines are shaded with dark shadows and an applicator. This creates a fashionable smoky eye makeup effect, and gives the look softness and languor. When drawing a pencil arrow, slightly stretch the skin with your fingers so that folds do not form, and draw the contour itself directly along the lash line. Arrows can emphasize not only the upper eyelid, but also the lower one.
Mascara After applying eyeshadow and eyelineror pencil, you should use mascara. This is the final step in eye makeup. Before applying mascara, the eyelashes should be carefully combed with a brush or a special comb. If the eyelashes are not curled enough, curl them with special tweezers, but do not overdo it, so as not to create a crease. You can choose mascara with a traditional brush or a rubber comb - whichever is more convenient for you. However, any mascara should have a fairly liquid, uniform consistency, without lumps. Apply mascara, grabbing a little product on the brush, run it from the very root of the eyelashes to their tips along the growth line, curling in the desired direction. Make smooth movements, carefully combing the eyelashes. When painting the upper eyelashes, move the brush slightly to the side, to the outer corner of the eye, this will stretch the eyelashes and give the eye an almond shape. Let the first layer of mascara dry well, and then apply the next one. Apply mascara to the upper lashes first, then the lower ones. If clumps form, comb the lashes with a clean brush or comb after applying the mascara. If you want to add volume and splendor to your lashes, or the effect of “fluffy” lashes, powder them before applying the first and then the second layer.
Technique of make-up for different eyes planting
All the above tips should be followed.always, regardless of the position of your eyes. The most correct eye shape is almond-shaped, and the eyes themselves are located at the same level, at a distance between the eyes equal to the horizontal size of the eye. However, not everyone has the ideal eye position. Some flaws, such as deep-set eyes or a heavy upper eyelid, can be easily corrected with the right eye makeup technique. Bulging eyes Slightly bulging eyes with heavy eyelids can be easily corrected with makeup. To do this, you should avoid light pearlescent and overly shiny shades in makeup. It is worth choosing a medium shade that covers the entire movable upper eyelid. With a contour pencil, draw a line along the upper and lower eyelids, and shade it lightly with dark shadows. This dark contour line should be narrow to visually reduce the bulge of the eyelids. The outer corners should be highlighted a little more intensely than the rest of the eyelid. Deep-set eyes The movable eyelid of this type of eyes is usually small, it should be emphasized with a light shade. Apply light shadows to the lower eyelid as well. But on the hollow between the upper movable and fixed eyelids at the outer corner of the eyes, dark shadows should be applied, carefully shading the transition. Also apply a light pearlescent highlight under the eyebrow, this will add shine to the look and make the eyes more open. Close-set eyes These are eyes, the distance between which is significantly less than the size of the eye. The technique for performing correct makeup is as follows. Apply the lightest shadows to the inner corner of the eye, a medium shade to the middle of the eyelid, and the darkest to the outer corner of the eye. You can add a black pencil or eyeliner, the line should be drawn from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner. The lighter the inner corner of the eye, and the darker the outer corner, the wider apart the eyes will seem. Heavy eyelid A heavy upper eyelid makes the look half-closed, gloomy. You can “open” such eyes with the help of matte shadows of light and medium shades. Dark shadows should be applied to the crease between the movable and fixed eyelids. Apply light pearlescent shadows under the eyebrow itself; pearlescent shadows should be avoided on eyelid makeup. Drooping outer corners This flaw makes the look sad and tired. Draw an arrow along the lash line on the upper eyelid with liquid eyeliner, lifting it at the outer corner of the eye and drawing it upwards. Start using dark shadows from the middle of the upper eyelid and drawing strokes upwards to the outer corner of the eyebrow. Pay special attention to the eyelashes in the outer corner of the eye on the upper eyelid; you can even stick on a few bunches of false eyelashes. As we can see, the eye makeup technique is not as difficult to perform as it seemed. If you do it correctly, you can not only emphasize the advantages, but also hide the disadvantages of facial features.
