Eye make up
Eyes convey your inner thoughts and character. Making the eyes come alive is a real art.
Eye shadow:
How to choose eye shadow?
The eye shadow you choose must flatter and enhance your eye color and the shape of you eyes as well as your whole appearance. The main thing is the color you choose.
The following points must be kept in mind while choosing:
-
You must choose the color that softly lustrate the shade of your eyes. It is not necessary to match them exactly.
-
Choose natural and subtle(sober) colors. Choosing bright and trendy colors may give you an artificial look until and unless they are not balanced by other suitable tones.
-
Whatever the color you choose, should be blended well, so that there are no hash lines.
-
Try to choose light colors, these colors will give an attractive look to your eyes.
-
Don’t forget your aim is for a natural look.
Eye liner:
How to choose eye liner?
Here are some tips to choose eye liners:
-
Beginners should choose a self sharpening pencil because a proper care and practice is required for liquid liner. Self sharpening pencil is preferred because it is softer then regular pencils.
-
Mostly black / brown eyeliners are used.
-
Choose a shade darker than your eye shadow.
Eye mascara:
How to choose eye mascara?
-
For choosing the mascara, first of all you have to decide which type of mascara you want to have. Water proof mascara is best choice and is also very popular.
-
Mind it the mascara you choose must not pour or disintegrate, they must be made of natural wax, without fibbers to lengthen the lashes. So, always prefer branded product.
-
The eye mascara you choose is not necessary to be of the same color as that of eye liner, but it must suit your complexion.
Eye brows:
The top architecture of the eyebrows is necessary to give face a groomed and suitable appearance. Some of the factors to be considered before shaping your brows:
-
The width of the forehead from temple to temple.
-
The facial distance from hairline to chin.
-
The distance between both the eyes.
-
The natural density/thickness of the brows.
-
The thickness of the nose bridge, shape and size of the nose.
-
The hair color and color of eyebrows.
-
The aim should be to achieve a natural look. Over plucked, thin brows look surprised and bitchy.
Smoky eyes:
Smoky eyes give a different and an attractive look to you. Smoky eyes can be achieved using the following method:
-
Use a highlighter pencil right under the eyebrow, with a wider sweep, near the end, right on the bone. Blend, emphasizing the natural curves of your eye. Use silver eye shadow on the lid and the inner corner and a deeper grey on the socket crease, outer corner and near the lashes.
-
Wipe out the eyeliner and redefine the shape of your eye by making the line narrower in the inner corner and wider in the outer corner. It gives it an upward slanting almond shape.
Correction of eyes using makeup:
You can improve your eye shape by experimenting with color and texture. Identify the shape of your eyes and follow the tips given:
For Small Eyes: Pluck the eyebrows fine to give maximum eye area. Use a little shadow under the lower lashes as well as on the top of the lid. Blend the shadow on the upper lid from the centre outwards, curving it upwards towards the brow in the shape of a wing. Line both the lids, extending the meeting line fairly out, to increase the length of the eyes. Mascara both the upper and lower lashes, using two coats on the outer lashes only.
For Wide-Set Eyes: Pencil the eyebrows close to each other. Add a little shadow onto the bridge of the nose or blend your shadow close to the corner of the nose and stop at the centre of the upper lid. To make the eyes appear a little closer, start outlining the upper lid from the inner corner of the eye, bringing it near the nose ridge, leaving just the width of one eye in between the two eyes. Continue the line towards the outer corner but not quite extending up to it.
For Close-Set Eyes: Shape the eyebrows so that they don't have the close-together appearance. Use the eye shadow on the upper outer half of the lid extending above the eye and under the brow. To offset the closeness of the eyes, start drawing the eye line on the upper lid away from the inner corner. Draw it up and out. Similarly, the lower line should not begin from the inner corner.
For Deep-Set Eyes: Use a dark eye shadow under the eyebrow, but not on the lid, where if you want to, you can use a lighter eye shadow. Line only the lower lid and extend the line fairly out and up.
For Round Eyes: Make sure the shape of your eyebrows is angular. Blend your shadow from the centre of the lid and deepen it at the outer edge of the eye, extending it a little beyond the outer corner of the eye. Line the upper lids, starting from the inner corner and extend it out and up so as to suggest length.
