Eye Makeup Application
One of the most difficult methods to master in makeup application is
those done on the eyes. Wearing eye makeup is a bit tedious as it
requires precision and art all at the same time. The right blend and
shade should also be achieved as they will also make or break your eyes.
And by knowing how to put on eye makeup properly, you will sure get
glamorous, soulful or poppy eyes, depending on how you want your eyes to
look. So, here are the basic steps in applying eye makeup:
Step 1: Preparing the Eyelids
 The eye makeup application begins with the eyelids. And you start by
applying a base on and around the cover of your eyes. You can use your
foundation in doing this, as your goal is to keep the shades of
different eye makeup together once applied to your eyes. Once you have
the base, then you apply the eye shadow. Shadows come in combinations,
light, medium and dark. Begin with the lightest shade covering the upper
part of your eyes, then use the medium shade to cover the lids, starting
at the corner of the eyelid going to the outer edge. You may use your
fingertip to blend the two shades in the area where they meet. Then
you will apply the darkest eye shadow color to give your eyes some
depth. Like the medium shade, start at the inner corner going to the
outer edge. Just follow the lines of the crease so you won’t be lost.
Then blend the dark shade with the medium shade in order to soften the
demarcation lines. Step 2: Drawing the Lines
 When drawing the
shape of your eyes, apply a thin arc of eyeliner along the path of your
upper and lower lashes.
• If you want to gain a bigger, wide set of eyes, start drawing the
line one quarter away from the eye’s inner corner. The start should be
thin, then gradually growing thick and wide towards the edge. •
Meanwhile, if you want your eyes to look thinner and closer, add a touch
of the darkest shade of eye shadow in the inner corners of the eyelid,
then start drawing the line right a the inner corners of the lash line.
Step 3: Finishing the Lashes
 The lashes also make your eyes pop
and become glamorous, thus you should know how to apply them right. If
you want thick lashes, begin by wiggling the mascara applicator on the
middle of the lashes, slowly reaching the tip. Do not leave clumps of
makeup on your lashes, as your goal is to make the lashes look natural,
and not all made up. If you want to lengthen your lashes, you may use
fake lashes which can be glued at the base of the eyelid. There are also
different types of special lengthening mascara that you can use as well.
These mascara products often come in a 2-in-1 applicator and consists of
white and black creams-the white is first applied to the lashes to
create extra intention, and then the black shade covers up the white
streaks to add more volume to the lashes. |
