How to paint eyes depending on their shape. Paint your eyes with two shadows and create a professional “perfect look”

Makeup helps girls emphasize all the advantages of facial beauty and hide certain flaws. If you know how to paint your eyes correctly, you can highlight their depth and brightness, make your look more languid or dramatic.

How to apply eye shadow correctly

The first thing that is important to remember is that you need to use high-quality cosmetics. Any cheap shadows (regardless of whether they are liquid or pressed) tend to crease in the folds of the eyelid. This looks extremely sloppy and spoils the overall image. The second thing you need to focus on is the base. Without foundation and powder coating, the colors of the shadows will be inexpressive.

Step by step:

  1. The base is applied to the skin first. Instead, you can use nude shadows or powder. Let us immediately note that by base we mean a foundation or a special base for makeup;
  2. Next, white shades of shadow are applied to the skin of the moving eyelid, and they should also be applied under the eyebrow. This will make the eyes more expressive and all other colors that will be painted on top of the light layer will look brighter;
  3. If you use shadows with shimmer, you should not just shade them, but work them into the skin. It is most convenient to use a flat shadow brush. To work with classic pressed shadows, a regular small sponge will do. They need to apply the base color to the upper eyelid;
  4. To visually make your eyes more expressive and give your eyes an open look, you need to add a little shine to the corner. This could be a touch of highlighter or just a drop of white eyeshadow;
  5. Regardless of the shape, it's important to darken the outer corner to add drama without making the look too busy. To do this, combine two dark colors (brown and black, blue and black, etc.), and apply them strictly along the eyelash growth line with a beveled thin brush. Afterwards, like a liner, a thin tail is drawn beyond the movable eyelid;
  6. All that remains is to apply mascara and fill in your eyebrows.

Why should you mix two dark colors rather than just one? Most drama shades look garish on their own, and some (brown) can even add age or redness. To avoid this, they are combined with each other.

How to apply makeup with a pencil

If previously it was recommended to paint your eyes with either a white or black pencil, now it is correct to use any shades. The brighter it is, the more interesting it is. This is a huge scope for imagination, because you can choose the right option for any color. But the most popular ones are still black, brown and dark blue.

How to apply makeup with a pencil step by step:

  1. The pencil is used in almost the same way as the liner. Under no circumstances draw one line from the inner corner to the outer one. It is unlikely to turn out smooth and neat, much less symmetrical;
  2. The pencil is applied only with thin, light strokes. The tail is removed at the end of the process, so first all attention is paid to the thin line of eyelash growth. Try to work with a sharpened pencil to make it as invisible as possible. Later you can give it the required thickness;
  3. To ensure that pencil strokes look uniform, they must be lightly shaded with an angled brush. And only after this the tip of the arrow is extended;
  4. To open up the look, apply a little highlighter to the lower eyelid. As an alternative, you can use a white or shiny light pencil (in this case, its pigment will need to be thoroughly rubbed);
  5. After applying mascara, the hollow at the inner side of the upper eyelid is emphasized with shadows, and the line of the eyebrows is highlighted.

How to paint wings on your eyes correctly

Classic arrows suit almost all girls. They are the basis of the favorite makeup of Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and many other symbols of seductiveness. Despite its apparent simplicity, a clear line with an elegant tail is quite difficult to draw.


Instructions on how to make arrows in the style of Kylie Jenner:

  1. You need to apply a light base to the upper eyelid. We recommend using dry eye shadow or powder. To make the eyes appear more open, shadows of a darker color are also applied to the hollow of the upper eyelid. After this shadow is shaded;
  2. Pearlescent shadows are applied to the main part of the eyelid over the base. They should also be applied to the corner of the bridge of the nose and under the eyebrows. This will make the image more harmonious;
  3. The liner is used to paint the eyelash growth line. To do this, use the edge of the brush to apply thin small strokes up to a third of the eyelid. To learn how to draw arrows beautifully, you need to do them exclusively with your eyes open. This way, the curvature or unevenness will be immediately noticeable;
  4. The ponytail is drawn at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the lash line. Then a thin line is drawn from its extreme tail up to a third of the century. It is painted over with eyeliner or pencil;
  5. The rest of the eyelid is also painted over with thin strokes. The most inconspicuous lines should be in the corner of the eye;
  6. Next, eyelashes are painted. But Kylie often uses extensions (by the way, they can also be painted with mascara). Then they will look very natural.

Learning to apply eyeliner

With eyeliner you can draw on yourself not only thin “cat-like” arrows, but also spectacular art. They are fundamentally different from thin and ultra-thin in their shape and size. Considered incredibly popular thanks to the style trend of the 80s and 90s.

Tips on how to paint with liner for beginners:

  • Regardless of the type of eyeliner (matte, glossy, liquid, pencil, etc.), it is applied only to a powder base. Otherwise, the line will be smeared and imprinted on the upper fold of the eyelid;
  • All girls face problems with “different” arrows. To avoid this, you need to apply makeup only with your eyes open. Please note that even templates will not help in this case: the eye sockets have different shapes, which are especially noticeable when painting the arrows;
  • To properly apply liner to your eyes, you cannot draw one continuous line. The strokes are painted first, and only then are they connected to each other;
  • The most important rule when working with eyeliner is that the first line should be as thin as possible. If necessary, it can be thickened, but it cannot be made thinner. You will have to completely wash off your makeup.

How to paint with mascara

Without applying mascara, eye makeup will not be complete. This is a unique cosmetic product that, even on its own, can make your eyes look spectacular and bright. It is best to use black and brown mascara, although you can adapt to using brighter shades: blue, green, purple.

How to apply mascara to your eyelashes step by step:

  1. The hair needs to be curled. To do this, you can use tweezers, but if you don’t have them at hand, you can even put them on your finger. To do this, the index finger is applied horizontally to the upper eyelid and the eyelashes are smoothed in its direction;
  2. It is important to color the hairs on the inside of the eye first. The brush with mascara is directed parallel to the eyelash growth line and drawn from the very roots to the tips. Depending on the consistency of this cosmetic, two or more layers may be required;
  3. The lower eyelashes must be painted. To do this, make progressive circular movements with the brush. From roots to ends, the paint is applied with gentle movements;
  4. Finally, you need to apply an additional layer of mascara to the roots - this will extend the “durability” of the curls. If some hairs are stuck together, they are simply combed out with a brush or tweezers.

Step-by-step instructions on how to apply makeup for different eye shapes

Depending on the shape, there are different technologies for applying shadows and liner. Small manipulations will allow you to create first-class makeup yourself. Any master can, with the help of small strokes, emphasize the most advantageous features of the eyes and hide any imperfections.

Makeup for drooping eyelids

When the eyelids droop, the eyes immediately become visually smaller, this gives extra age and creates the effect of “chronic” fatigue. By carefully darkening the problem area, you can not only immediately become younger and refresh your image.

Master class on how to apply makeup to drooping eyes:

  1. The base is applied to the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid is lined with a light pencil or highlighter. The fold of skin at the outer corner is carefully shaded with brown shadows or liner;
  2. The brown shade is stretched to a third of the lower eyelid; a tail is made at the corner to create a small arrow. Professionals shade the shadows or pencil with a brush, but at home you can use a sponge;
  3. To beautifully darken the overhanging part of the eyelid, apply a dark shade of eyeshadow on top of it, as close as possible to the natural palette. It blends out very well. Beige light shadows are applied to the outer part and also blended;
  4. To make it look as natural as possible, the shadows of the two shades are gently mixed together. This will ensure a transition from light to dark;
  5. Only after this is an arrow drawn on the outer corner. To do this, it is best to use a dark shade of eyeshadow: brown, graphite gray or another of your choice;
  6. If the eyelids droop a lot, but you also need to create a reflective accent on top of the darkened crease. To do this, pearl-colored shadows or shimmer are applied under the eyebrows and before the beginning of the darkened area;
  7. A thin line of black eyeliner is drawn along the lash line. The lower eyelid can be tinted with a bright liner. It is selected depending on the color of the eyes;
  8. The corners are brightened with highlighter. It also tints the area under the lower eyelid.

Protruding and large eyes

If almond-shaped eyes do not cause their owners any problems at all, then girls with convex and overly large eye sockets have to visually narrow them all the time.

How to properly make up bulging round eyes:

  1. A clear black outline is applied to the cream base. The easiest way to create it is with eyeliner. The liner line is shaded with a beveled hard sponge or brush to create a spectacular tip;
  2. The moving part of the eyelid is covered with a matte, calm shade of shadow. Additionally, the fold under the eyebrow is lightened;
  3. Afterwards, just a little dark is applied on top of the light color. You shouldn’t completely darken your eyes - this will give extra emphasis to the convex part;
  4. Only after this is the classic arrow drawn with a dark liner. Some makeup artists use black shadows for such purposes, which are applied with a very small and thin moistened brush;
  5. Using a brush, small upward strokes are made, the shadows seem to stretch towards the middle of the eye. This will darken the moving eyelid and make it as neat as possible;
  6. Apply highlighter or shadows with shimmer to the corners;
  7. Now a light natural eyelash shadow is created from the middle of the lower eyelid. This is most conveniently done with the same shadows that were used for the base on the upper part. Be sure to emphasize the lower rim of the eye. To do this, you need to outline it with a gray or dark beige pencil. It is unacceptable to use light shades.

Painting narrow and small eyes

Slanted or narrow eyes most often have a small shape. But despite this, with the right makeup they look incredibly impressive and beautiful.


Makeup for narrow eyes

How to properly make up oriental eyes at home:

  1. The entire moving eyelid is worked on with the lightest shade. Ideally, it should be close to porcelain or white;
  2. After this, the skin is covered with mother-of-pearl or shimmer;
  3. A thin line is applied with a liner to the inner corner of the eye and the outer part. Next, select a cool shade of brown and apply it to the upper fold of the eyebrow;
  4. Now the most interesting point. The painting scheme for narrow eyes is radically different from all those described above. In particular, the fact that the fold between the movable eyelid and the eyebrow is emphasized by a thin line of dark color. It needs to be created with the eye open, so at first you will have to practice a little;
  5. This “bird” stretches the tail, it remains open. Then a second arrow is drawn from the middle of the eye to the outer corner, and its tail will cover the upper eyelid. Naturally, the lines are shaded according to the growth of the eyelashes;
  6. Afterwards, the eyes are lined in a classic (cat-like) way with liquid eyeliner. All that remains is to add a little mascara and gloss under the lower eyelid.

Evening smokey eye is done according to the same scheme, but brighter colors are selected for it.

Deep-set eyes

The main problem with deep-set eyes is excess volume above the upper fold. If the eyelids are sunken, then the eye socket is “lost” under them. Here it is important to darken not the fold itself, but the space above it.

Instructions on how to do daytime makeup for deep-set eyes:

  1. For this type, the optimal color scheme is beige-brown with a small splash of red. This will create the most natural shadow;
  2. A dark shadow is applied over the problematic crease. It is shaded at a slight angle, as if stretching the eye. The same shade is applied in very small quantities under the lower eyelid;
  3. To prevent your eyes from looking tired, a thin classic liner is painted along the eyelashes. This subtle outline will also help lift the outer corner, giving it a slight stretch;
  4. For the winged line on the upper eyelid, it is best to use liquid eyeliner, but do not extend the tip. This will only emphasize the hollowness. Leave it sort of uncovered. Emphasize the lower lash line from the middle to the edge with a dark shaded line;
  5. A small amount of glitter is applied to the inner corner. For deep-set eyes, we recommend working exclusively with matte shadows in a natural palette - this will make you look much more natural than when using flashy shades;
  6. Afterwards mascara is applied and eyebrows are drawn in. Please note that the eyebrow area should not be highlighted either. Leave it practically untouched (except for foundation).

According to all the laws of color, if you use the “correct” shades in the shadows, you can achieve an incredible effect: the color will become bright, expressive, and deep.


Brown eyes

Dark, cool shades suit brunettes very well. These are purple, lilac and the whole range of blue. For daytime makeup, we recommend paying attention to delicate lilac tones and matte beige (they are natural and suitable for everyone).

Greens

For girls with such a unique color, shadows with a reddish pigment are suitable. These are brown, red, peach and other “warm” shades. Red and pinkish palettes look especially cool.

Gray and gray blue

These are almost perfect colors. Almost all shades are suitable for their owners, including black and dark gray.

Blue

Light gray shades of eyeshadow, yellowish, beige and pearlescent are suitable for all blondes. Black and dark gray liners would be ideal for eyeliner. But it is better to avoid brown and bright shades.

Black shadows are charm and elegance. Not every girl dares to do makeup with black shadows, because they imply a bright and shocking image. It is important to use them correctly, which requires training and knowledge of makeup techniques, otherwise black shadows look vulgar and sloppy.

How to apply black eye shadow to get a bright, elegant look? First of all, black eyeshadow doesn't suit everyone. If your appearance is delicate, light and you are not used to wearing black or bright things, black shadows will not work. Also, black shadows must be chosen of high quality, preferably professional ones - they will not roll off, crumble, blend perfectly and lie on the eyelids beautifully and neatly.

Black shadows should be chosen for evening makeup. During the day, they prefer colored shadows, because in the evening color is no longer perceived and monochrome shadows are suitable to highlight and beautifully emphasize the shape of the eyes. Therefore, it is better to wear black eyeshadow in the evening or for a special event.

In makeup with black shadows, the emphasis is on the eyes, so choose soft lipstick and neutral shades.

Before you do this kind of makeup, you definitely need to tidy up your skin. All small wrinkles, spots and irregularities should be hidden under foundation and powder. Black shadows look great only in combination with the ideal skin tone.

The eyelids and skin under the eyes should be well powdered., if the shadows fall off, you can easily brush them off with a brush. If the skin is “naked,” the shadows will simply smear and you won’t be able to do this without a special makeup remover.

Instructions

Of course, ordinary shadows cannot compare with pencils and eyeliners. They have a completely different structure and less saturated color, but to make an imitation of arrows on eyes Maybe. Since shadows tend to roll off the skin, it is not advisable to use cream before. It is best to apply a thin layer of powder on your eyelids - this will help the shadows last longer.

If you have a pencil shadow, you will not have any difficulties with drawing an arrow. Such shadows like a regular eyeliner pencil. If you have shaped or crumbly shadows, you will have to get used to it. Using the tip of the applicator, carefully apply the shadow in a thin line along the eyelash growth. To make the line brighter, you need to re-apply the shadow to the eyelid or use an initially dark color: black and dark brown will be the most advantageous.

There are several ways to apply eyeliner. With the help of shadows you can highlight the entire eyelash line. With this method, the eyes visually appear taller. If you have close, it is better to emphasize the top line only 1/3, starting from the outer corner. In this case, you can draw the bottom line, also by 1/3. This type of eyeliner expands the distance between the eyes.

To enlarge the eyes, a full stroke of the top line and 1/3 of the bottom, starting from the outer corner, is suitable. This type of eyeliner suits almost any type of eye.

For narrow eyes, a full eyeliner is suitable: top and bottom. In this case, it is better to use light shadows - this will give a greater effect. With a full outline, it is advisable to focus on the upper eyelid and make it a little darker.

In addition, do not forget to use shadows for their intended purpose. Apply them all over your eyelid, starting from the outer corner to the inner. Make the inner corner lighter - then your eyes will appear larger and more expressive.

Already in the times of Ancient Egypt, women actively used the art of makeup to make their appearance more vibrant and attractive. And, of course, special emphasis was placed on creating expressive eyes. This is still relevant today. Modern makeup artists offer many different eye makeup techniques, but perhaps the greatest effect can be achieved by summing up. With their help, your eyes will become brighter, take on new shapes and will attract the attention of others. Moreover, arrows are at the peak of fashion again.

You will need

  • - eyeliner;
  • - liquid eyeliner;
  • - eyeliner-felt pen.

Instructions

Then, using small, neat strokes, apply an arrow along the lash line, starting from the inner edge of the eyelid. Avoid unpainted areas between the arrow and the eyelashes, such makeup will look sloppy.

Place the same liner on the eyelid, if necessary. To make the pencil easier to apply, you can lightly powder your eyelids before using it. Typically the line arrows, applied, turns out slightly blurry. Such arrows recommended for daytime makeup, especially since small blemishes can be easily eliminated by blending the liner with an eyeshadow brush.

To create evening makeup and more expressive eyeliner, use liquid eyeliner. However, do not forget that this eyeliner requires certain makeup skills. If you are a beginner, practice before applying makeup for a special occasion. Getting to the conclusion arrows using liquid eyeliner, find a comfortable position for your hand to subsequently get a clear and even line.

Cover your eye slightly and apply the arrow in small strokes to later connect them into one line. Try to make the initial strokes thinner, otherwise after correcting the sins, the arrow will come out too thick. There is no need to stretch the skin of the eyelid, because... otherwise the arrow will come out like an accordion.

A compromise between a pencil and a pencil is a felt-tip eyeliner. It combines ease of application and clarity of the line created. It must be used in the same way as liquid eyeliner, but this process requires less artistic skills and will be possible even.

Kayal is a cosmetic product in the form of a pencil, created on the basis of natural ingredients that do not irritate the eyes. The product contains a variety of waxes, oils, nutritional components and vitamins. Kajal is ideal for lining the inner eyelid, but you can do other makeup options with it. There are products on sale in different colors, from classic black to pearly white.

Instructions

Choose a suitable kajal. It is very convenient to use an automatic pencil with a twist-out lead and a special sharpener attached to the back end. Please note that dark colors visually make your eyes appear smaller and are more suitable for evening makeup. For those with small eyes, it is better to use light kajal with pearl particles. This product will not only beneficially change the proportions of the face, but will also make the eye color brighter.

For a dramatic evening make-up, black kajal is suitable. Blue-eyed girls should try a chocolate brown or burgundy shade; green-eyed girls will want blue or aqua. Brown-eyed people can try on emerald green. It is important that the kajal not only harmonizes with the tone of the eyes, but also does not contradict the general idea of ​​makeup.

Try to do simple makeup that will be appropriate both day and evening. First, apply a base shadow to your eyelids. Then use liquid eyeliner or powder pencil to define your lash line. Draw very thin lines at the very edge of the eyelid and do not extend them beyond the contour of the eye.

The next stage is lining the inner eyelid. Slightly sharpen the tip of the kajal and in one motion draw a line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. If the color is too pale, duplicate the line. Finally, coat your eyelashes with lengthening mascara.

With the help of kajal you can create a more dramatic evening make-up. The kajala stick is too soft for drawing crisp lines, but it's great for creating a trendy blurry effect. Apply foundation to your upper eyelids and then cover them with a base eyeshadow in dark beige or silver gray. Use the same color to highlight the lower eyelid. Gently line your eyes with dark kajal, staying as close to the roots of your lashes as possible.

Use a soft latex applicator with a fine tip. Using short strokes, blend the lines so that they become wider. Move from the inner corner of the eye to the outer, if necessary, drawing on the arrows with kajal and rubbing them again. Then line your inner eyelid with the same shade.

If you want to emphasize the color of your eyes and make a more contrasting makeup, choose a very light kajal with mother-of-pearl for your eyeliner.

Makeup can enhance the beauty of your face. That is why many girls and women pay special attention to him. One of my favorite eye makeup options is arrows.

Instructions

The classic arrow is a line of medium thickness that thickens at the outer edge eyes. Its end is pointed and directed towards the temple. There are many modifications of this arrow, but it is best to learn from the classic version - it suits almost everyone.

Before drawing an arrow, powder your eyelid - this will make the makeup last longer. Then pull the eyelid a little to straighten the crease and start drawing an arrow along the lash line. Do not try to immediately draw an even line - this is not always possible even for . Apply short strokes, and then draw the space between them. Drawing the tip of the arrow can be difficult - if it is done incorrectly, the facial expression will turn out to be ugly. It is believed that the ideal tip of the arrow is the one that continues the line of the lower eyelid.

Also, the type of arrow depends on what you will use to draw it. These can be shadows, eyeliner (and gel). If the line you need is wide and unclear, it is better to draw it with shadows - it will be easier to shade. You need to apply eyeliner with a thin, dense, damp brush to make the line brighter. A pencil is an excellent option for everyday makeup. The line turns out neat, but at the same time not too “aggressive”. Eyeliner is a arrow tool. The line turns out clear, bright, neat and does not smudge for a long time.

Eye makeup is a real art.

If you know exactly how to paint your eyes correctly, you can look your best in any situation.

And with the help of a simple set of cosmetics you can try on dozens of different looks.

How to paint your eyes correctly: a review of cosmetics

To create eye makeup you will need several basic cosmetics: eyelid base, eyeliner, eye shadow, kajal, mascara. The eyeshadow base is most often sold in the form of a cream product that evens out the color of the eyelid, hides small blood vessels and generally gives a slight masking effect. However, the main task is the means - to create an ideal coating on the eyelid, on which the shadows will stay for a long time, without crumbling, without creasing, and will give off all their pigment.

Eyeliner is available in several types:

Simple or automatic pencil;

Felt pen (liner);

Liquid or gel eyeliner;

Eyeliner eyeliner.

For beginners in the art of makeup, it is best to use pencils. They are soft, easy to apply and just as easy to wash off, allow you to draw an even line along the upper or lower eyelid and are generally very convenient to use. The disadvantage of this product is that the pencil smears easily, imprints on the eyelid, and runs in the heat.

In this sense felt-tip pen(or liner) is preferable. It is also simple and convenient to work with; you can draw a perfectly even arrow, giving it the desired thickness. A good quality liner does not leave marks on the upper eyelid, does not fall off during the day and looks perfect. One thing: this product does not last long, and if the felt-tip pen is not closed tightly, it will dry out quickly.

Liquid and gel eyeliner applied with a special brush, which allows you to create an ideal, clear line of classic arrows. This type of makeup is most often created for an evening out, as it looks too bright. Working with a brush is not easy, you need to get used to it, so this method of painting your eyes correctly is suitable for experienced young ladies. However, some manufacturers supply the liquid cosmetic product not with a brush, but with a special stick. Learning to line your eyelids is much easier.

You can also make eyeliner baked eye shadow, applying them with a flat small brush. The makeup turns out more delicate, without clear lines. Shadows can be applied both dry and wet. In the latter case, the line will be brighter.

However, in most cases, eye shadow is not used as eyeliner, but to cover the upper eyelid to create a complete eye makeup. They can be pearlescent (with more or less shimmer) or matte. It is convenient to use ready-made palettes with well-chosen shades of colors. There is no need to rack your brains about how to paint your eyes correctly or what colors to combine. Cream and liquid shadows are sold in the form of “odnushki”.

To line the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid, use dark kajal - a special soft pencil, does not cause irritation. With it, the look becomes very expressive. However, for those with small eyes, this product is dangerous, as it can visually narrow the eyelid shape even further.

Regarding mascaras, then this is one of the most popular cosmetic products, with which any beginner’s cosmetic bag begins. There are many options for mascaras: regular, curling, volume-creating, separating, waterproof, caring, and even colorless for styling. Which one to buy depends on the individual characteristics and condition of the eyelashes.

How to paint your eyes correctly: choosing an image

To create a harmonious image, you need to consider two main points: individual color type(that is, a combination of hair color, iris, eyebrows and skin tone) and makeup purpose.

For blondes you need to be very careful when using black for eyeliner: it is too harsh and can make the image vulgar. How to paint your eyes correctly? Preference should be given to softer brown-gray shades. Shadows should help the iris, that is, enhance the natural color. Makeup artists advise using cool shades of gray, blue, and greenish colors.

Bright brunettes They can use black eyeliners more boldly, and when choosing colored ones, give preference to those shades that match the color of their hair and eyes. Warm brown, peach, ocher, emerald tones will allow you to create magnificent makeup.

For red-haired girls there are no prohibitions: they are naturally bright, they can use literally any eyeliner, shadows and don’t really think about how to paint their eyes correctly. However, they need to be careful with brown pencils and pink eye shadow: these pigments can give the impression of tear-stained or sore eyes. But a thick black eyeliner line will not make the look vulgar: red-haired beauties are the only ones who can afford it both day and evening.

Important advice from professional makeup artists: The shadows should not exactly match the color of the iris. This will make the look expressionless. A slight contrast, “irregularity,” on the contrary, will attract attention.

The second point is the purpose of makeup. It's one thing if you're going to work or college. An evening option, when you need to look catchy and bright, is completely different. The clothes in which you plan to go out are also of great importance for creating an image.

That is why in your cosmetic bag you need to keep not just one boring black eyeliner and not just one stand-by palette, but several products of different shades. An excellent daytime look can be created using brown, silver, turquoise, gray, peach, sand lines and shades. Dark brown, blue, green and even red tones will help you create a great evening makeup.

How to properly paint your eyes for work

Makeup for the office is both a very simple and quite complex issue. To find the right solution, you should learn how to properly paint your eyes for work or college. If there is no desire to produce a stunning effect, then you can limit yourself to a simplified version:

Apply base to eyelids;

Cover the entire upper eyelid with a suitable shade of light eyeshadow (peach, silver, crushed ice, champagne, beige, etc.). Young girls can use slightly shimmery, barely shimmering shadows. Women over thirty should avoid glitter and use a matte product;

How to make up your eyes beautifully without using the services of a makeup artist? Believe me, it’s quite possible to do this at home yourself. To do this, you need to know some rules and remember the secrets that we will tell you.

How to make up your eyes beautifully with shadows

Eye shadow is not a simple makeup product; only a few know how to use it correctly. Although they are very important for perfect makeup, using them will help you shape your eyes and make your eyes shine.

Tips for using shadows:

  • High quality primer. When it comes to eye makeup, it is important to use a good base. It can make even low-quality shadows last, and with its use they will not crumble or smudge. And most importantly, their shade will be more saturated.
  • Shading. The main thing in applying shadows is shading. It will take time, but the result is worth it.
  • Brushes. Of course, you don’t have to bother with them, but use the applicator that comes with the palette. But we will disappoint you a little, such applicators will not create perfect shading, no matter how hard you try. For crumbly shadows, use special brushes, and for cream shadows, use your fingers.
  • Smooth transitions. When using several shades, avoid clear boundaries between zones.
  • Lower eyelid. Colored shadows on the lower eyelid can create the effect of dark circles under the eyes. For this area it is better to use light shadows.
  • At least three shades. For good makeup, we advise you to use three shades: light - on the inner corners, dark - on the outer corners, medium - on the middle.

Step-by-step instruction:

  • Apply foundation to hide fine lines and unevenness.
  • Cover dark circles with concealer.
  • Apply the main tone to the moving eyelid.
  • Use pearlescent or light shades to highlight the inner corners of your eyes.
  • Apply a dark shade of eyeshadow to the outer corners.
  • Use a brush to blend everything out.

How to make up your eyes beautifully with a pencil

In principle, a pencil in eye makeup is not at all a necessary attribute, but with its help you can emphasize the shape and shape of the eyes.

Everything that eyeliner can do:

  • Contour the eyelashes and make them visually thicker.
  • Draw a soft arrow.
  • Darken the corners of your eyes.
  • Outline the contour of the eye.
  • Make accents.


Paint your eyes with eyeliner

Eyeliner lined with smooth and beautiful arrows will never lose relevance and will not go out of fashion. You may not be able to draw perfect arrows the first time; this requires practice.

Types of eyeliners:

  • Liquid. They require some practice, but the lines they produce are graceful, clear and even.
  • Gel. They have a gel-like structure and are easy to use. These eyeliners can create clear lines and are also easy to shade.
  • Solid. Available in the form of special markers or pencils. The easiest to use.

To draw perfect arrows you need to know a few rules:

  • Apply tonic or lotion to your eyelid before applying eyeliner, then your eyeliner will not smudge.
  • There is no need to tighten your eyelid, as your eyeliner will most likely be uneven. The eyes should be open and the upper eyelid should be slightly lowered.
  • Lower lashes should only be lined with waterproof eyeliners.
  • Your arrow should start at the inner corner of the eye and gradually expand towards the outer corner. It can be short, visually creating a shadow from the eyelashes, or long, creating the effect of cat eyes.
  • After applying eyeliner to your eyes, you need to let it dry. Be patient and don’t close your eyes or open your eyes too much.


Paint your eyes with mascara

  • Choose the appropriate type of mascara for your eyelashes. You need to paint them in the direction from the roots to the tips. Start coloring from the inner corners, gradually moving towards the temples.
  • To prevent the eyelashes from sticking together and the mascara from forming in clumps, comb them with a brush from the outside and inside.
  • To paint the eyelashes well in the inner corners, you need to use a brush with thin short bristles. Open your eye as wide as possible when painting.
  • To prevent eyelashes from appearing artificial, use tinted mascaras.
  • Don't apply too many layers and your eyelashes won't stick together.
  • You can give your eyelashes an elegant shape with special tweezers. Just remember, you can manipulate them only before applying mascara.
  • To make your eyelashes appear long, color them, then dust them with loose powder and apply a few more layers of mascara.
