The look is one of a woman’s main weapons.A mysterious look from under the eyelashes can drive any man crazy. Eye makeup is a time-tested way to create exactly this charming look. And you will need very little for this - something that can always be found in your cosmetic bag. To create beautiful and fashionable eye makeup, you do not have to be a professional makeup artist. It is enough to know just a few simple rules for its application.
Preparation of eyelids
First of all, it is necessary to prepare the skin of the eyelidsapplying makeup. Before applying makeup, wash your face with your usual cleanser. Then apply a moisturizer to your eyelids. While doing this, massage your eyelids a little, gently pressing the cream into the skin to prevent swelling. Remove excess cream gently with a soft napkin.
Eyebrow Correction
Next, pay attention to the eyebrows.Almost all professional makeup artists start their makeup with eyebrows, and some even claim that to create fashionable eye makeup, it is enough to paint and comb your eyebrows and lightly touch your eyelashes with mascara. If there are a few extra hairs, remove them with tweezers. This season, the trendy eyebrows are natural and wide, but nevertheless neat and feminine. Eyebrows must be emphasized. Use special shadows or an eyebrow pencil for this. Choose a color based on your natural hair color. But remember that makeup artists categorically do not recommend black shadows and an eyebrow pencil, even if you have jet black eyebrows. In their opinion, you will look like a silent movie hero. Therefore, when choosing the color of shadows or an eyebrow pencil, you can use this trick: the color of the eyebrows should be one or two tones darker for fair-haired women, and one tone lighter for dark-haired women. Using a brush or pencil, apply light, neat strokes between the hairs. Then comb the eyebrows with a special brush and set them with a fixing gel. Today, many cosmetic companies offer special fixing gels with a coloring pigment, with which you can easily and quickly both color your eyebrows and give them the desired shape.
Paint application
To prevent eyeliner from running and eyeshadow from crumbling,You should definitely use a base or eyelid base. Thanks to the base, eye makeup is long-lasting and even at the end of the day it still looks bright, as if it was just applied. The eyeshadow base perfectly evens out the skin tone of the eyelids due to the light tinting effect. The eyeshadow base should be applied about 10 minutes after you have applied the eyelid cream, because the base dries the skin quite a lot. Apply the eyeshadow base with a brush. Take a little base on the brush and carefully apply it in a thin layer to the upper eyelid, blending the product towards the eyebrow and the lower eyelid, directing the brush from the bridge of the nose to the temple. If the layer is too thick, remove excess base by gently blotting the eyelid with a sponge.
Applying Shadows
The next step is applying eyeshadow.Today, compact shadows, gel shadows, and pencil shadows are produced. Dry compact shadows are best applied not with the applicator included with them, but with a natural brush with a rounded end. Gel, cream shadows, and pencil shadows are best applied and shaded with your fingers. Compact shadows often consist of several shades that make up one color palette for eye makeup. Apply the light shade from the palette to the eyelid, capturing a little of the subbrow area. Cover the central part of the eyelid with the medium shade of shadow and shade towards the temple. Take a brush with a beveled edge and apply the darkest shade along the lash line. And with the lightest shade from the palette, highlight the inner corners of the eyes and brow ridges. This will make your look fresh and wide-open. If such a shade is not in the palette, make light accents with a highlighter. Another classic makeup option using two shades of the eyeshadow palette: the darkest shade of the eyeshadow is applied to the movable eyelid, slightly raising the line upwards, and the light shade should be applied under the eyebrow. In any case, when applying the eyeshadow, do not forget to shade it thoroughly. The boundaries between the shades should be smooth, otherwise, the makeup will look rough and vulgar.
Application of mascara
The final touch of eye makeup is applying mascarafor eyelashes. Moreover, no fashionable makeup of this season is complete without mascara. Before applying mascara, you can curl your eyelashes with a curling iron. Curled eyelashes will make your eyes more expressive and larger. You should clamp your eyelashes with the curling iron at the base of their growth. Many makeup artists advise using two mascaras at the same time, for example, voluminous and curling. When applying mascara, hold the brush parallel to the eyelashes. The movements should be zigzag (this way you will avoid lumps) and in the direction from the roots to the tips. After that, slightly close your eyes and paint the tips, paying special attention to the outer corners of the eyes.
Fashion Trends
The above rules will help you lookflawlessly always and everywhere. But if you are a fan of fashion and strictly follow its trends, take note of the little tricks that will help you create not just beautiful and neat, but also fashionable makeup.
- Shadows
By the way, fashionable eye makeup this season is justis unthinkable without brown, pearlescent gray (especially smoky, ash and silver) and light green shades of shadows. With such shades of shadows, the "smoky eyes" makeup will be especially advantageous. Another equally relevant trend is bright shades of eyeshadow (blue, green, black) applied to the lower eyelid. Nude makeup is also very fashionable this season. To do this, simply apply loose powder to the eyelids with a wide brush and paint the eyelashes with mascara.
- Pencil, eyeliner
The line along the eyelashes can also be emphasizedpencil or eyeliner. You can apply the pencil with a thin, neat line, cat-eye arrows, or, for example, shade it. Fatal arrows are a fashionable hit of 2013! Clear arrows in a retro style, made with liquid eyeliner, are especially relevant. Neat black pencil arrows are also in fashion. To emphasize the inner eyelid, use a special soft pencil - kajal. This pencil is created specifically for the inner surface of the eyelid, does not dry out its mucous membrane and does not cause irritation.
- Mascara
Fashionable eye makeup this season is eitheralmost not painted, or, on the contrary, very emphasized and reminiscent of false eyelashes. Want to achieve this effect? Use a special base for mascara. The base for mascara lengthens the eyelashes and adds volume to them. By the way, some mascaras are supplied with a base, and are a two-sided tube (base on one side, mascara on the other). Apply the base to the eyelashes, let it dry. After that, you can paint the eyelashes with mascara. Two layers will be quite enough. It is not difficult to create a spectacular and fashionable make-up. The main thing is to do everything carefully and in moderation. And then your look will be the most bottomless and mesmerizing.
