Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is meant to highlight and define the eyes. Eye shadow is used to create depth to bring out the beauty of the eyes. A dark color used on the lid will make the eye appear smaller, while a lighter color will make it appear larger. That is what eye shadow is about creating illusions. These are the basic techniques for the following eye shapes:
Small eyes: Don’t use too much shadow or liner – it will make you eyes look smaller. Apply a light color on eyelid, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.
Large eyes: Wear darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease. Use a flat color under the brow to highlight.
Deep-set eyes: Use light colors on the eyelid and under the brow. Use a medium color in the crease. Emphasize the outer corners with shadow.
Wide-set eyes: Use darker colors on the inner corners of the eye.
Hooded eyes: Apply light colors on the lid. Use darker colors from the center of the eyelid to the outer corners and blend.
Round eyes: Make round eyes longer by using color all around and extending toward the outer corners.
Asian eyes: Apply highlighter under the brow. Use light shadow on the inner half of the lid and a darker color on the outer half.
1. Light colors cause the eyes to open, dark colors will cause the eyes to recede
2. If you have very light skin avoid dark shades
3. Be careful with shimmer – they will bring attention to imperfections and wrinkles.
4. The eye area is the first to show age don’t tug on the skin.
Eyeliners:
Eyeliners are meant to define the eyes so they should do just that, not be the focal point of your makeup. Eyeliners come in various colors and forms liquid, pencil etc. Keep the eyeliner natural. Pencils are available in many colors (for the best look stick to black or brown) and can be sharpened for a fine line. For a smudged effect use a sponge tip shadow applicator or an eye shadow brush. When your pencils are too soft refrigerate them. When they are too hard soften them by holding them between your fingers.
To line the eye, start on the lower lid, just beneath the lashes. When you are finished always smudge the line with your sponge. Stay as close to the lash line as possible. On the upper lid, draw a line form the inner corner to the outer corner, thickening the line toward the outer corner. After the age of 40 keep the line in between the lashes.
Mascara and the creation of beautiful lashes:
Mascara frames your eyes and can make your face come alive. Mascara softly accentuates the eye while thickening and darkening the lashes; it is the finishing touch for eyes. There are several different types to choose from, thickening, and waterproof to smudge proof. Waterproof will need a special remover and smudge proof will wash off easily. It is not a good idea to wear waterproof mascara for extended periods of time since it has a tendency to dry the lashes.
Select a shade of mascara that complements your coloring. Dark shades on pale eyes with brown lashes will darken them and will look harsh. Stay away from blues and other colors since they will ruin your look.
Lashes that are hard to curl may need the help of an eyelash curler. Curl your lashes before you apply mascara – hold for ten to twenty seconds.
4 Steps to Beautiful Eye Make Up Color
These 4 steps will help you to achieve the look you desire for your eye make up.
- Choosing the right eye shadow
Choosing the right eye shadow can sometimes be a matter of taste. Eye shadows come in cream and powder types. Powder is most suited to people with oily skin. Cream eye shadow is ideal for younger skin as it will sink into wrinkles and be dissolved in oily skin. If you have uneven skin tone an eye make up concealer should be applied before your eye shadow. The best eye make up concealer is one that makes your skin tone.
- Choosing the right color eye shadow
Getting the color of your eye shadow right is the best way to achieve beautiful eye make up color. Browns are generally used for daytime as these are natural colors. For evening wear and social occasions you can choose a shade to match the clothes you are wearing. When choosing make up for your eye color, you should never choose the color of your eyes as this will not draw attention to your eyes and will have the opposite effect.
- Eyeliner Application
Your eyeliner will help to accentuate your eye shadow so it is imperative that you get this right. Eye pencil is the most commonly used, although it does not last as long as the liquid form. For a younger looking eye make up style you could opt for a brownish colored eyeliner rather than traditional black. Your eyeliner should go the whole way along your eyes but should not exceed them.
- Using Mascara to Frame
The final step in creating beautiful eye make up color is your mascara. This can make your eyes really look beautiful and can create an illusion of dark, long eyelashes. Mascara comes is many different colors with the most common being black. As with eyeliner, if you wish to achieve a softer more natural look, you should opt for brown colored mascara.
Using these tips not only will you achieve beautiful eye make up color but you will also look radiant in the process.
