How to Apply Eye Shadow and Eyeliner
How to Apply Eye Shadow and Eyeliner
A woman’s eyes are perhaps the most beautiful feature of her face. They have a life of their own, they express emotions and feelings and when light up, they put a glow on your whole face. While we are all gifted with beautiful eyes, our fast lifestyles, poor habits and irregular routines tend to take a toll on our delicate eyes, leaving them dull and sometimes even with dark circles under them. This is where eye makeup can do wonders for your eyes, by highlighting them and correcting their flaws.
However, unlike face makeup, eye makeup is not easy. This is because while doing face makeup your canvas is vast, giving you ample scope and space to experiment, but when it comes to eye makeup you have to be extra careful as eyes are a comparatively smaller and delicate canvas. Overdoing your eye makeup should certainly be avoided but knowing what is too much only comes from regular practice. Try to invest in good quality makeup products. Quality products will make the task much easier and a lot more fun.
Choosing the right eyeliner and eye shadow
It is important to carefully select your eyeliner and eye shadow. Here it is important to select colors in the same color combination or color range.You could also match your eye makeup to your overall skin tone. For example, if you are not particularly fond of heavy makeup and normally just wear tinted moisturizer or concealer, then the best eye shadow colors would be nude, beige or shades of brown for day wear, if you are fair and plum. Use tan or berry if you are whitish in complexion.
Applying eye makeup
First things, first! Always tweeze and shape your eyebrows before starting your eye makeup. Then wash your face well, especially around the eyes and pat dry. Never scrub the area under and around your eyes too harshly, as it is bound to backfire and in worst cases lead to skin breakage. Next, apply your foundation and blend it well from your hairline to your jaw line, including around your eyes and over your eye area.Now, delicately dab some matching concealer in your under eye and surrounding area. Next, dust some tinted or translucent finishing powder on your face and let it set for a moment. I always recommend applying primer, concealer, foundation and powder and then work my way downwards towards the rest of my face.
Experts generally believe that layered eye makeup gives the best results as it blends really well. To achieve such a flattering look, you need to apply three shades of complimentary eye shadow colors. This is where an eye shadow palette comes to your rescue as it offers you the best similar shades along with a convenient brush designed to apply them. Start by choosing a light base color eye shadow (such as white, cream, beige or champagne, etc.) that is almost similar to your eyelid color. Apply it on one eye and then the next.
Once the base is applied, you can apply different shades of eye shadow depending on your requirement. For example, if you have small eyes and you want to make them look bigger, then you can apply a medium color eye shadow such as light brown or lavender, etc. in the crease of your eye and take the eye shadow upwards at the end of the eyes. Dark shades of color generally look the best when applied in the outer corners of your eyes as it gives your eyes a smoky, smoldering look. Apply a highlighting color like champagne just underneath your eyebrow.
Since eye makeup is all about blending the shades well, you need to put minimum pressure and keep your strokes short and delicate. Here, it also helps if you keep a wet wipe or cotton swab ready should something spill out or not blend well. Once blended, you can always dust some setting powder on your eyes as well, to hold it and help it set better.
Applying eyeliner
Once your eye shadow is done and set, you can start with applying your eyeliner. Eyeliner is a must for eye makeup, because irrespective of the size and shape of your eyes, it can ensure that your eyes stand out and look stunning. In fact, many women don’t fuss with eye shadow and go straight away for eyeliner. The best way to apply an eyeliner pencil is to line your upper and lower eye lashes at their very base. Always start at the inner corner of your eyes and draw along the lash line outwards. Here you can use a thin or a thick line depending on the look you are going for.However, the best approach is to begin by drawing a thin line, and draw a thick line on top of it. If you want the wide eye effect then it is best to draw a line from the iris to the outer eyelashes only. For a more softer and natural look gently and deliberately smudge your eyeliner towards the lashes and do this along the shape of the whole eye. And should you want to make your eyes appear bigger than they are, then you have to extend the eyeliner pencil a little past the corners of your eyes. However, there is no fixed rule as to how and where to apply your eyeliner and each eye has a different shape and size. So, you need to practice and experiment before zooming in on a preferred style of eye makeup.
Dos and don’ts of eye makeup
Since eyes are such a delicate part of the body, every form of makeup you apply on or near them has to be of good quality and tested first. While using an eyeliner pencil, ensure that it is not too sharp or too blunt. If you don’t have an eye pencil sharpener handy, and have to choose between a sharp and a comparatively blunt pencil, always go in for the blunter one. This is because using such a sharp eye pencil is always a hazard, to the extent that even experts with practiced hands, blunt them on a tissue or surface before applying them. This will make the application easier where the eyeliner is soft enough to simply glide on.
Also, if possible, explore the idea of liquid eyeliner as these are great alternatives to using a pencil. Such eyeliners are soft and silky smooth so they can never hurt your eyes, should your hand occasionally slip or slide. Plus, such eyeliners have an added advantage where they offer more variety of metallic shades from which to choose from. You should sharpen your pencils and clean your brushes after every client to keep it clean. Never use a wet makeup brush, as that would never give the desired matte look you need.
Lastly, whichever eye makeup you choose to buy, you should ensure that it goes well with your overall skin type. Pencil eyeliners tend to smudge often on oily skin, so instead, try liquid eyeliners. Gel or cream eyeliners also work good on such skin types and fare equally well on dry and combination skin. Powder eyeliners are trickier to apply because of their nature and hence not good for amateurs.
How to Apply Eye Shadow and Eyeliner
The following items from our Makeup Kit will be used:
- Color Eye Shadow Palette –Neutral
- All Over Eye Blender Brush
- Large Shader Brush
- Crease Brush
- Angle Eyeliner Brush
- Detailing Brush
Now let’s start with the practical…
Step 1: Take a highlighting color like white, champagne, gold or beige. Apply this color with your 221 All Over Eye Blender Brush, starting just underneath your client’s eyebrows till her eyelids.
Step 2: Take your 204 Crease Brush and apply a medium eye shadow in the crease of her eyes. Step 3: Take your 202 Large Shader Brush and blend in the color.
Step 4: Take your 204 Crease brush and dip it into the darker eye shadow. Apply this color on the outside corners of her eyes, in the crease. Create a “v” shaped curve.
Step 5: Take your 202 Large Shader Brush and blend this color so that it blends in with the rest of the eye makeup.
Step 6: Take your highlighting color again and apply a small amount on the inside corners of your client’s eyes, using the 229 Detailing Brush.
Step 7: Take a brown, black or grey eyeliner pencil or liquid eyeliner. Start by lining your eyes with the eyeliner pencil or liquid eyeliner that you have chosen. Always do the top first, working from the outside to the inside corner of your client’s eyes. Make sure that you draw the line almost into her eyelashes; otherwise there will be a gap between the eyelashes and the eyeliner line. Do the same underneath her eyes. If you’re using eye shadow color instead, then apply the color with your 207 Angled Eyeliner Brush.
Step 8: Finally, take a white eye liner pencil or highlighter and put this on the inside of your eye to give your eyes a refreshed look.
***Just a word of advice- If you want the wide eye effect then it is best to draw a line from the iris to the outer eyelashes only. For a more softer and natural look gently and deliberately smudge your eyeliner towards the lashes and do this along the shape of the whole eye. And should you want to make your eyes appear bigger than they are, then you have to extend the eyeliner pencil a little past the corners of your eyes.
