My another passion is makeup, so I always want to write about it, how to perform the right make up for the eyes.
The eyes are very important when it comes to makeup. The proper application of eye colors and shadow can create the illusion of the eyes being larger of smaller, and will enhance the overall attractiveness of the face.
Round eyes can be lengthened be extending the shadow beyond the outer corner of the eyes.
Close-set eyes are closer together than the length of one eye. For eyes that are too close together, lightly apply darker shadow on the outer edge of the eyes and light on the inside near the nose.
Protruding eyes can be minimized be blending a dark shadow carefully over the prominent part of the eyelid, carrying it lightly toward the eyebrows. Use a medium to deep shadow color.
For heavy-lidded eyes, shadow evenly and lightly across the lid from the edge of the eyelash line to the small crease in the eye socket.
To make small eyes appear larger, extend the shadow slightly above and beyond the eyes.
To correct wide-set eyes, apply the shadow on the inner side of the eyelid toward the nose, and blend carefully.
For deep-set eyes, use a bright, light, reflective colors. Use the lightest color in the crease, and a light to medium color sparingly on the lid and brow bone.
Everybody have different eye shapes, and it’s not easy to correct them. I have few professional techniques which helps me to perform the correct the eye shapes.
HIDDEN LIDS
- create a crease in the middle of the upper lid,
- highlight the brow bone,
- softly line upper and lower lashes,
- avoid strong colors,
SMALL EYES
- place a darker shadow over the lid, blending it out to the temple and up the eyebrow,
- apply shadow to the outer corners of the lower lids,
- blend eyeliner softly from the center to the outer corners of both eyes along the eyelashes,
- apply mascara, brushing the lashes carefully,
ROUND EYES
- apply a medium shade shadow, blending it over the eyelid toward the eyebrow,
- apply dark shadow onto the crease and blend it toward the eyebrow,
- clearly line the inside of the eye with an eyeliner pencil,
- extend and carefully blend the colors in steps 1 and 3 toward the outer corner of the eye,
- apply mascara to the lashes only at the outer corners of the eyes,
PROTRUDING EYES
- apply a medium color on the entire eyelid and blend it toward the eyebrow,
- line the inside of the eye using a brown or gray eyeliner pencil,
DEEP-SET EYES
- apply a light eye shadow along the crease of the lid,
- blend in a medium color on the outer corners and to the temples,
- use a soft color to accentuate around the eyes,
- clearly outline the eyes along the lashes,
- choose a dark shade of mascara,
CLOSE-SET EYES
- apply a paller shade to the lid and a darker shade to the corner,
- line the eye from the middle to the corner and blend the shadow outward,
- apply mascara in an upward and outward motion,
WIDE-SET EYES
- Extend a darker shadow from the inner corner of the eye toward the nose,
- Blend a lighter shadow from the middle toward the outer corner,
- Apply mascara with an inward motion,
DROPPING EYES
