Eye makeup tip Step by Step Tutorial
- 1. EYE MAKEUP TUTORIAL ( STEPBY STEP ) KEEP YOUR EYES LOOKING YOUNGER FOR LONGER!
- 2. PRIMER Now is thetime to use that tube you talked about buying but never really used. Primer is the secret to flawless makeup, to keep the eyeshadow in place, you can rub it over your eyelids or even apply it to your lashes. A good trick to remember is that a primer can also be used to clean up mistakes!
- 3. CONCEALER Now that weare getting older, we can't help but notice the slightly darkening areas around our eye sockets. Solution? Concealer! Choose a shade or two lighter than your normal skin tone and apply concealer with your fingertips, for example on the inner corners of the eyes.
- 4. LESS IS MORE Thisis probably true for more mature women, but adding so much eyeliner and eyeshadow as you get older not only looks messy but also adds years to your look. Sweep a nude eyeshadow during the day and apply a slightly darker color to the crease for more clarity at night outside. Make sure to stay away from your brow bone! Always choose the more expensive eyeshadow option as these tend to have more pigment and longer staying power.
- 5. TRENDING EYESHADOW If you can'tresist the trending eyeshadow look of the moment, then don't. For example, if you desire a pinkish look, make sure you choose a subtle pink and build up gradually. When applying the eyeshadow shades of the moment, lightly tap the slightly higher crease in a circular motion so the color can show up even on hooded lids.
- 6. EYELINER You may wantto avoid the thick back liner, but if you can't give up, blot it with a cotton swab. But generally speaking, brown eyeliner is more forgiving. You can also use dark eyeshadow to mimic the look of eyeliner by rubbing it on the outer corners of your eyes with a makeup brush. Liquid eyeliner is less recommended as we age, but if you can't live without it, the trick is to keep the line thin.
- 7. LOWER LIDS Although mostmakeup artists start to avoid applying primer under the lashes, actually priming the lower lashes opens the eyes. Line the lower flap just under the lashes and soften the look with your little finger. Or you can dip a small brush in the darkest eyeshadow color in your palette and draw a line under your eyes. This helps you create a naturally smudged look that looks great. •Know your colors Applying the right shade that matches your complexion does wonders for you. Brown eyes look great in all colors, green eyes look best with a bit of purple, while blue eyes pop with earthy tones. Find your best match and experiment until you get it right.
- 8. WARM UP YOUR EYELASHCURLER As we get older, it becomes necessary to use an eyelash curler. For best results, heat your lashes using a blow dryer for a few seconds, feel like it's not too hot for your eye, and then curl up.
- 9. LONG MASCARA Choose longmascara instead of volumizing. You do not need the length and bulk to counter the effects of eyes that have unfortunately started to sink. Start applying mascara to the roots, so that they can move back and forth and you get as much as you can on the basis of your lashes.
- 10. DON'T FORGET YOUR EYEBROWS Eyebrowsclose your eyes and if you wear glasses, there are more reasons to pay attention to your eyebrows. Fill in sparse areas with shadow or pencil using short feather strokes. You just need to mimic the look of more eyebrow hair.
