The eye is the “mirror of the soul”, so it has to reflect the inner beauty. For a modern woman, who wants her eyes to create the statement, here are the eye makeup tips that can clearly illustrate her adoring beauty.
From Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, who lined her eyes with black charcoal, to contemporary businesswomen, women have been using makeup to emphasize the beauty of their eyes. Bringing eyes to life is a true art and like any good artist one has to learn the basics of precise brush work and color matching. The basic rule in any eye makeup is to create the right base. By doing so, the dark circles around the eyes can be hidden to create a smooth surface for other makeup cosmetics.
The most important part of eye makeup is shaping your eyes correctly. This is done with eyeshadow, using the light vs. dark theory. The eye shadow balances the appearance of the eyes. The eyeshadow one selects should be appropriate for the skin tone and the occasion.
The first tip for eye makeup is to start with a good eye cream. This will soften and keep the skin around your eyes moist. Apply them regularly for three days and see the difference. Remember to use your ring finger when applying the eye cream, as it exerts the least amount of pressure.
Many women have problems with puffy eyes when they wake up every morning. Applying eye cream or eye gel helps reduce eye puffiness and feels very refreshing.
In case you don’t like to wear a lot of eye makeup, your makeup box should include eyebrow pencils, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and concealer. These cosmetics will take care of your eyes perfectly.
Eye makeup can enhance facial appearance by enhancing natural beauty. It will make one look beautiful, helping to hide the conundrum of aging. If the makeup is applied correctly to the eyes, it will have a great impact on the appearance. It also strongly reflects one’s personality, how one feels about oneself, increasing self-esteem and making one more attractive. When applying concealer to the eye, pat with your ring finger and do not rub. A flat nylon brush or sponge will be used to apply the concealer. Correcting creams are available in light, medium and dark shades.
If one has a small eye, never apply eyeliner to the inner corners. Put it above or below the lash line. Flesh-colored eyeshadows brushed over your brown bone will open your eyes. If the eyes are very round, apply a natural kohl pencil around the entire eye. For very narrow or almond-shaped eyes, open the outer corner with the brown shape trick or with pencil.
Women should never darken the eyebrows as it will overpower the eyes and the rest of the face. Too much eyebrow pencil can ruin the impact of the rest of your makeup. The eyebrow pencil should be used sparingly and fill in only those areas that require it. For women who have very thick eyebrows, eyebrow pencil should be neglected. Rather, in such cases it may be necessary to tweeze and arch the eyebrows. When clamping, be sure to hold the skin firmly. Clamp at the root of the hair and in the direction the hair grows. Only remove the hairs below the arch of the eyebrow.
eye pencils
Eye pencils should glide on smoothly, without dragging on the skin. If they are soft and crumbly, store them in a freezer before applying. If they are too hard and pull on the skin, first soften the tip by gently running it across the back of your hand.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner is used to define the shape of an eye. It is also used to make the base of the lashes appear thicker. Eyeliner colors should be consistent with hair color. For a blonde or brunette, brown eyeliner is the best option.
mascara
Mascara gives the appearance of longer lashes. When applying makeup, it is applied last. For those who have brown eyes or black hair, black mascara would be most appropriate. For lighter or blonde, brownish black mascara is preferred.
Applying Concealer
Concealers will be applied to remove dark circles, scars, tattoos, blemishes and pimples to improve the appearance of the face. Concealer goes under foundation and is used for spot treatments. They are more opaque than regular makeup, but still need to be blended with the skin tone and are applied before using the harmony foundation. It is also claimed that the subsequent application of makeup does not remove them.
mask application
Before applying mascara, you need to curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler to open your eyes. This will frame the eyes, especially if the lashes are short. Mascara is applied in two layers by placing your finger on the middle of the eyelid or on the eyebrow. Once the first application dries, apply a second. For thicker lashes, carefully apply mascara to the tops of your lashes as well.
Apply eyebrow pencil
Draw fine lines in the direction of the eyebrows to define and fill in the light areas. Never draw an outline around the eyebrow as this gives it an unnatural look.
Apply eyeliner
The desired effect of an eyeliner pencil is to create the illusion of darkness just above the lash line to enhance the look of the lashes. Gently pull on the eyelid skin starting on the inside of the eyelid and draw a thin line smoothly and evenly across the upper eyelid. A very thin pencil line should be drawn very close to the lash line along the innermost part of the upper lid near the nose. This is often forgotten, but it always adds an attractive natural definition to the eye. For a natural look, place a few small dots of color near the lash roots along the bottom lashes.
Apply liquid eyeliner
Liquid eyeliner achieves a more dramatic emphasis on the eyes. Best used when a dramatic, more glamorous look is desired. The advice is to apply carefully to get the desired look.
Apply eye shadow
The goal of applying eyeshadow to the lids is to maximize the shape of the eye using up to three different eye shades: light, medium and dark. Medium tones are generally more neutral base tones. The light is for highlighting the shadow and the dark is for outlining. For a smoother, longer lasting eyeshadow application, try applying a thin layer of yellow concealer powder to your lids before applying shadow.
Reducing eye strain and improving vision is a must for all loving eyes. Here are some exercises to keep your eye comfortable and rejuvenate stamina.
Massaging the temples will help relax and reduce eyestrain. Using the tips of your index or middle finger, gently roll the depression on each side of your forehead to the level of your eyebrows. Do this for a minute or two switching from a clockwise motion to a counterclockwise motion from time to time. One can do this particularly easy exercise to feel less tense.
Using the first two fingers and the thumb of either hand, gently pinch or rub the bony bridge of the nose. This helps very well to eliminate tension and headaches.
Just below the cheekbone and below the outer corner of each eye is a major massage area. Any fingertip will do to stimulate this location. Simply twist both sides at the same time with gentle pressure. One can feel an effect on the eyes when trying to smile at the same time.
Women’s eyes are the most exciting and expressive feature, so it is extremely important to emphasize them with the above makeup tips. Are you ready to give your eyes a mysterious and exotic charm?
