Eye makeup for eye enlargement stage, age-related, with drooping eyelids, arrows. Step by step, photo

Eye make-up to enlarge the eyes allows you to visually change the proportions of the face and give a younger and more fresh look. Techniques developed by makeup artists will help to make the look more expressive and wide open.

1. Owners of small eyes should refuse to lining the mucous membrane with a dark pencil - it visually reduces their size. On the other hand, white or beige kajal makes the eyes bigger and refreshes the look.
2. To prevent the shadows from staining the primer, after applying it, cover the eyelid with a flesh-colored shadow or powder - this way they will shade better.
3. Shiny (satin), glossy shadows are applied better than matte.
4. Matte shadows accentuate mimic wrinkles more, but better mask puffy or drooping eyelids.
5. You can experiment with the method of applying shadows: dry shadows applied to the bare eyelid give less pigment and look more delicate. Shadows applied with a damp brush or sponge have a more intense color. For a dense, rich and long-lasting texture, dampen the eyeshadow brush with makeup fixer.
6. If the eyeshadow stains the skin by crumbling, apply eye products first. Under the eyes, you can stick special patches or semicircular applications made of cotton pads - the pigment will settle on them.

The choice of cosmetics for successful makeup

Cosmetics for the eyes must have the following characteristics: persistence, good pigmentation, ease of use.

For complete eye makeup you will need:

• Base under the shadow (primer).
• Concealer.
• Light shadows to highlight areas.
• Base shadows are the base color.
• For contouring - dark shadows.
• Liner.
• Mascara.
• Brushes.
• Cotton pads and sticks.

Primer is a product that increases the durability of cosmetics. Shadows, when applied to the base, firmly adhere to it and give the pigment better. Result - bright makeup does not roll or smudge. The use of a primer can increase the life of the make-up by 7-9 hours. A long-lasting, non-greasy concealer powdered with flesh-colored eyeshadow will do.

Concealer is a delicate camouflage agent that is used pointwise. Reflective particles in the product will refresh your eyes.

To create corrective eye makeup, a palette of at least 3 shades of shadows is required: the dominant base, the darker for the contour, the lightest for the accents. At the same time, you can combine shadow textures: matte base and shining light accents or shining base and matte dark outline.

For example, for a natural make-up to enlarge the eyes, the color selection might include sand, chocolate, and white. For green eyes, pink and wine are suitable. For brown-eyed: white, lilac and eggplant color.

The liner is produced in the form of a pencil and in the form of an eyeliner. Liners differ in format: liquid (a bottle with a felt brush in the form of a felt-tip pen) and gel in a jar. Liquid ones are easy to apply and are ideal for graphic makeup with lines and patterns.Gel - plastic, more resistant, look natural due to the matte finish.

Pencils can replace shadows or pigments. There is a pencil makeup technique that is distinguished by the saturation of colors. Kayal pencils have great durability and are applied to the mucous membrane of the eyes. Dark and colored shades - to add depth to the look.

White, pink, beige - for eye enlargement. The pencil is the most suitable format for natural make-up and can be softly shaded to a light haze. For everyday makeup, black mascara with a lengthening effect is enough. If desired, the cosmetic bag can be supplemented with a waterproof product or new shades.

Make-up can be done with classic sponge applicators. It's easier to do it with special brushes. For starters, get a flat eye shadow brush and a blending brush.

Double eye shadows

Eye makeup to enlarge the eyes can be done with two colors. One base shade is required: beige, pastel pink, gold, peach, coffee gray, or bronze. The second shade is contouring: light brown, chocolate or gray. It is better to refuse black color. An exception is dramatic makeup for photo shoots or events.

Instructions for eye makeup with a minimum set of cosmetics:

1. Apply a base under the shadow, concealer or foundation with patting movements on the entire eyelid (including the lower one).
2. The base shade is applied with a large flat brush or applicator - from the lash line to the crease of the eyelid.
3. The main color is shaded with a brush or applicator in the direction from the crease to the center and to the corner of the eyebrow. If the eyeshadow does not fade well, you can apply a little light face powder to the brush and blend the shade to a light haze in a circular motion.
4. A darker color is applied to the outer corner of the eyelid in the form of a tick. The color should cover the outer third of the movable eyelid and the upper eyelid region.
5. The contouring color is shaded so that the edge of its transition to the main color is smooth. Shading direction: from the corner of the eye to the outer edge of the eyebrow, then from the crease to the corner of the eyebrow.
6. Apply a dark color to the lower eyelid and blend well with a small applicator from side to side.
7. Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes.

Brightening the corners of the eyes and the area under the eyebrows

White or beige satin eyeshadows with a moist shine without glitter are suitable for lightening areas. For these purposes, you can apply a highlighter (shining powder) for the face. The technique is used as a finishing touch, or in the “makeup without makeup” technique.

How to lighten areas with highlighter or shadows:

1. Apply the product with the applicator to the inner corner of the eye, slightly going into the lower eyelid zone. Blend towards the center of the eyelids.
2. Apply shadow under the eyebrow, in the outer third - where its highest point is. Shade in a circular motion towards the temple. With low eyebrows, you can apply shadows to their entire length, starting from the outer edge.
3. For a radiant look, apply brightening shadows in the middle of the moving eyelid. Feather in both directions.
4. For a more intense shine, apply eyeshadow with a damp brush or applicator.

Ombre technique in makeup

Ombre is an artistic gradient technique with a smooth transition from dark to light. The main task is to blend the shades to a smooth transition.

The technique is performed in several stages:

• Powder the eyelid completely.
• To avoid "dirty" transitions, you should start by applying a light color. The lightest shade of the eyeshadow is applied from the inner corner to the middle of the eye.
• For the middle of the eyelid, including the crease zone, apply a medium-saturation shade and blend up to the crease.
• On the outer third of the eyelid, apply the darkest shade up to the crease zone. Blend up.
• Use a clean applicator or brush to blend the crease area and then blend the transitions between colors.

Smokey eyes

The smoky makeup technique is most often used in evening makeup or for photography. This make-up adds dramatic depth to the look and corrects well such imperfections as drooping eyelids, close-set or small eyes.

If the shadows lend themselves well to shading, you can get by with two shades of shadow. Make-up can be done in any color: emerald, dark blue, silver, gray, dark brown, golden, purple. A primer is applied to the entire surface, except for the area under the eyebrow, and then the base color.

Beige and white base matches any shade of eyeshadow. Next, a dark shade is applied to the entire movable eyelid so that the pigment lies tightly. Having typed on the brush the base color or a little light powder, you should shade the dark shade towards the eyebrow and towards the temple. You should get a smooth transition between shades.

A dark shade is also applied to the lower eyelid.

Eyeliner is applied over the shadows: arrows with a pointed tip or a pencil in soft shading. You can shade a pencil with an applicator or a "barrel" brush. At the final stage, mascara is applied.

Shimmering shadows

The main thing in contouring make-up is working with light and shadow. Shimmering shadows refract light so that the area to which they are applied appears more voluminous.

Shining shadows are divided into several types:

For everyday natural makeup, you should opt for satin shadows. Shimmery means look appropriate in an evening make-up. For a festive, carnival look, glitter is suitable.

Bright accents in makeup

Makeup artists do not limit their imagination in eye makeup, depicting even copies of famous paintings on the eyelids. You can add originality to the make-up using simple techniques. Colored eyeliner is combined with natural shades of eyeshadow. Both colored arrows and the application of a colored pencil or shadows on the lower eyelid look.

For blue eyes, colors are suitable: gold, orange, red, turquoise, indigo. For green eyes, pink, plum, burgundy, lilac, purple are suitable. For brown: pink, purple, marsh, blue, turquoise, light green.

Colored ink is applied in accordance with the above rules. It can be applied to upper lashes, lower lashes, or just the tips. You can save money by dusting a fresh coat of regular mascara liberally with colored eyeshadow, then brushing it out with a clean eyelash brush.

Another technique for working with color: use bright shadows of unusual shades in the middle of the moving eyelid.

At the same time, the rest of the shades in the eyeshadow palette should be neutral so that the makeup is not overloaded. For evening make-up, glitter is suitable. In small quantities, they will look harmonious in any makeup. Glitter can be applied to the eyeliner or the inner corners of the eyelids.

Natural makeup for eye enlargement

Eye makeup to enlarge the eyes can be done in natural colors using white, beige, sand, taupe, gray, chocolate, bronze, golden color. In order for the make-up to look natural, it is necessary to use light textures. Cream products are too pigmented and rich for everyday makeup.

For makeup, you need three shades of different saturations: light beige, light brown or golden and chocolate, or gray... The funds are applied according to the classic scheme described above. The main color is applied to the entire eyelid; a dark shade is applied to give depth to the necessary areas.

To add radiance to convex areas - the lightest. Borders must be carefully shaded. For a natural look, wet-applied brown eyeshadow can be used instead of eyeliner. Then apply brown or black mascara.

Arrows that visually enlarge the eyes

• The eyes are visually enlarged by arrows of medium width, by 3-4 mm. continuing the outer corner. Too wide an arrow can create the effect of an overhanging eyelid, since all the moving space will be blocked until sweet.
• The thin arrow is also suitable for natural make-up and does not weigh down the look.
• Wide "Arabic" arrows visually reduce the eyes
• The shortened arrow makes the eyes more round and wide open.

Makeup for the impending century

The upper eyelid, overhanging the mobile and hiding the fold in the bone area, is called overhanging. Such an eyelid can hide the ciliary edge and even hang over the eye in the area of ​​the corners. The main task with such initial data is to highlight the movable eyelid as much as possible and visually highlight the corner of the eye.

A classic technique is used - with a dark color to form a shadow in the outer third of the eyelid, capturing the fold. All lines go to the top of the temple. You cannot use shiny shadows on an overhanging area, as they will make it more voluminous. With a strong overhang of the eyelids, dark, saturated colors should be used: bronze, chocolate, charcoal.

If the eyelid reaches the ciliary edge, the arrow will not be visible, or the line will be refracted and distort the shape of the eye even more. The main rule of makeup for eyes with such a problem is to apply makeup with eyes open and looking straight.

Age eye makeup

Eye makeup for eye enlargement is performed taking into account the characteristics of the skin. Age-related skin is characterized by sagging tissues and an abundance of mimic wrinkles. In this situation, the classic make-up technique is suitable, but you should make sure that all lines (shadows, eyeliner, eyelashes) tend from the outer eyelid to the temple - this will visually raise the corners of the eyes.

It is worth abandoning matte textures - they dry the skin and emphasize the folds. The best choice is pearlescent shadows. They reflect light and visually smooth the surface. Since aging skin is prone to dryness, it is worth betting on radiance: use a highlighter or light shadows under the eyebrow, in the inner corners and in the center of the mobile eyelid.

The eyebrows should be shaped with a pronounced angle - this will make the look more open. For a pronounced lifting effect, you can use a shimmery shadow without glitter over the brow.

Stage makeup for eye enlargement

The eye makeup used for the scene is characterized by the use of dense textures and saturated colors in the work. For such a make-up, cream shadows and pigments for makeup artists are suitable. Pigments are loose decorative agents with a high concentration of dyes. Suitable for eyes, lips, face, nails and body art.

In order to make the eyes look expressive from the stage, various makeup techniques are suitable:

• pencil - eyeliners are used for the backing;
• "Cut crease" - contrast highlighting of the eyelid fold without shading;
• "Arabic" makeup - using kayal, dramatic arrows and false eyelashes;
• "Banana" and "loop" - classic techniques with graphic highlighting of the corner of the eye.

Eyelash accent

It is possible to visually enlarge the eyes with one mascara:

1. Curl your eyelashes with curling tongs.
2. Apply mascara starting in the center of the eye. Direct the brush from the roots to the tips, painting over all areas.
3. Holding the brush horizontally, apply another coat in a zigzag motion towards the ends. This will help dye and separate all the lashes.
4. Repeat the second and third steps on the lower lashes.

Eyebrow shaping

Correctly shaped eyebrows can change the proportions of the entire face: reduce or enlarge the forehead, "open" the eyes, make the cheekbones wider or narrower. It is easy to shape your eyebrows.

You will need an eyebrow pencil with a greasy lead, a brush:

1. After combing your eyebrows, mark the boundaries of the shape with a pencil.
2. The beginning of the eyebrow is at the same level as the inner corner of the eye. The end can be determined by presenting a line from the wing of the nose to the outer corner, then to the temple.
3. The highest point of the eyebrow should be located a few millimeters to the temples from the outer edges of the iris.
4. Having outlined the desired shape, remove excess hairs, starting from the area at the bridge of the nose.

Eye makeup to enlarge the eyes can be complemented by properly shaped eyebrows. Clear eyebrows with a pronounced break make the look more open. Eyes are visually reduced by straight or too thin eyebrows.
