Step-by-step instructions for everyday makeup for green eyes

What is needed from the tools and tools

To apply makeup, you need the following tools:

• cotton pads;
• a set of brushes (narrow, medium, beveled);
• cosmetic sponges;
• tweezers for plucking eyebrows;
• eyebrow brush;
• eyelash comb;
• applicator for applying shadows.

Means that will be required to prepare the skin of the eyelids and apply makeup:

• micellar water;
• moisturizing cream;
• tone cream;
• powder;
• base under the shade;
• concealer;
• contour pencil;
• eyeliner;
• set of shadows;
• mascara with a curling effect;
• corrector for the face.

Eyelid skin preparation

Before applying makeup, you should eliminate skin defects of the eyelids (redness, swelling, flaking) with a nourishing mask, compress or moisturizer. After eliminating defects, you need to clean the skin with micellar water applied to a cotton pad.

If the skin of the eyelids is dry, then before applying makeup, it should be treated with a foundation that contains moisturizing components, remove its excess and fix with powder, and then apply a colorless base.

When using a tinted eye base, no foundation is necessary, but before using it, you need to treat the skin with a moisturizer and remove its excess.

Oily skin does not require additional moisture. After cleaning it from dirt, apply a base under the eyeshadow with a tinted effect.

Makeup artists do not recommend over-moisturizing the skin as this will cause the makeup to roll into lumps.

Concealer for wrinkles and dark circles

If the skin of the eyelids has wrinkles, dark circles or pigmentation, then after applying the foundation, it is necessary to hide the imperfections with concealer. It should be applied evenly in a thin layer, avoiding the formation of excess.

It is recommended to blend with a brush, a moistened sponge or warm fingers, avoiding smearing the product on the skin.

It is necessary to choose a concealer 1-2 tones lighter than the foundation - this will help lighten the skin of the eyelids and give freshness to the face.

After applying and shading the product, it must be fixed with powder, on top of which the base should be applied under the shadow.

When applying concealer, you need to consider the following nuances:

• do not apply the product to dry skin without a tonal foundation and open wounds;
• use the concealer in a well-lit room, otherwise it will give the opposite effect;
• when masking acne, you need to apply and shade concealer around the defect, gradually approaching the center;
• the wrong shade of concealer emphasizes the flaws, and does not hide them;
• only a brush can be used to blend the product on oily skin.

Putting your eyebrows in order

The eyebrows define the contours of the face. Incorrect curvature of eyebrows can ruin the appearance, so do not get carried away when plucking them. Experts recommend to outline the contour of the eyebrow with a pencil, and then start plucking the hairs located behind the line.

Further it is necessary to comb the eyebrows with a special brush and fill their contours with a pencil or shadowsto be applied with short beveled brush strokes as the hair grows and blend as you go. This will visually increase the volume of the eyebrows and make them darker or highlight the shade.

Drawing the contour of the eyes with a pencil

In the process of drawing the contour of the eyelids with a pencil, you should carefully work out the space between the eyelashesto ensure an even coating.

It is necessary to paint only the eyelash growth line in the direction from the outer and inner corners to the center, while it is necessary to retreat 3-5 mm from the inner corner of the eyelid. The line should taper from the outer to the inner corner of the eyelid.

To facilitate the process of drawing the contour, stylists recommend using the point method: several points should be applied along the intended contour, and then connected.

When drawing the contour line, rest your elbow on a firm surface to maintain control of movement.

The drawn contour should clearly coincide with the growth line of the eyelashes, and not act as its parallel counterpart. The upper and lower eyelid lines should be connected at the outer corner. The contour of the lower eyelid needs to be made soft and thin to prevent the effect of flowing mascara.

Don't forget about arrows

Narrow hands are ideal for everyday makeup, however, the final choice of their form and application technology directly depends on the configuration of the eyes.

When drawing arrows, the following features must be taken into account:

1. Round eyes can be visually lengthened with makeup by extending the arrows to the inner corners of the eyelids. The lines should be of medium width.
2. On narrow eyes, arrows should be applied, which expand in the center of the eyelids and do not go beyond their corners. The line must be shaded around the edges.
3. To visually shorten the wide fit of the eyes, you need to draw an arrow along the entire length of the upper eyelid, extending its line to the bridge of the nose.The arrow of the lower eyelid should be 2-3 mm away from the inner corner.
4. In order to visually expand the narrow fit of the eyes, when drawing the arrows, it is necessary to indent 3-5 mm from the inner corners of the eyelids, and from the outside, the line should be rounded up.
5. If the eyes are small, then the arrow on the lower eyelid will further reduce them. Only the upper eyelids can be applied, while drawing wide lines is unacceptable. The types of arrows and their design features when applying everyday makeup for small and other types of green eyes are shown step by step in the photo.

It is important to know! The drawing of the arrows must be done very carefully, with a sharpened pencil or eyeliner with a thin brush, so as not to distort the line.

Traces from contour pencil and eyeliner are difficult to remove, so in case of failure, you will need to clean the skin of the eyelids and do all the above steps again.

Apply shadows

Shadows must be applied in the direction from the arrow to the eyebrow. Stylists recommend applying the base color of the eyeshadow with a low saturation using the applicator and evenly distributing it all over the eyelid up to the brow with a brush.

Next, apply medium-rich shades to the eyelid and distribute them from the arrow line to the crease under the eyebrow. In the crease of the eyelid, blend the shadows with a soft small brush to achieve a smooth transition.

On the upper eyelid from the middle and closer to the outer corner, apply shadows a tone darker and shade them so that a distinct border disappears - this will give the eyes depth and expressiveness. In conclusion fix the eyeshadow with transparent powder.

How to apply daily makeup for green eyes step by step. Photos and recommendations of makeup artists are given below.

Makeup artists' recommendations for choosing and using eyeshadow:

1. When using liquid shadows, you can not open your eyes until the composition is completely dry. This must be taken into account before applying each coat.
2. Do not apply powder to your eyelids when using cream eyeshadow - the compositions will mix and ruin the makeup.
3. It is not recommended to use dry eye shadow when wearing contact lenses. Small parts of them can get under the lens, which will lead to discomfort and irritation of the mucous membrane.
4. If the eyes are too close, then the color accents should be correctly placed: with dark shades on the outer corners of the eyelids, and light ones on the inner ones.
5. Women with deep-set eyes are advised to use pearlescent eyeshadows to create color accents.

Curling mascara

This mascara will increase the volume of the eyelashes and give the eyes expressiveness. It should be applied from the roots of the eyelashes to their tips, moving the brush from left to right when treating the right eye, and from right to left when coloring the eyelashes of the left eye. This technique will help to distribute the layer of mascara evenly over the lashes.

The procedure should be performed in 3 stages: apply the first layer of mascara, after it dries, separate the eyelashes with a special comb, and then apply the second layer.

Before applying mascara to the lower eyelids, they should be treated with a thin layer of colorless powder to facilitate the process of removing loose particles.

Features of makeup in specific cases:

Makeup for green eyes and dark hair

Features of applying everyday makeup for green eyes and dark hair are revealed step by step in the photo below. Girls with such data make-up artists recommend using pastel tones to complement the eye color and create a contrast with dark hair.

For everyday makeup, you cannot use shadows of dark shades close to black, because in combination with green eyes, they will look vulgar, and against the background of dark hair, the makeup will be overloaded. You should also give up neon shades - they make your eyes tired and dull, and the look looks heavy.

Pink eyeshadow should be used with extreme care. Much depends on the skin tone, but in most cases, when using pink eye shadow, the face takes on a painful, tired look.

Makeup for green eyes and light brown (blonde) hair

To girls with this appearance when applying everyday makeup, complement the hair color and create a contrast in relation to the eye color... For owners of pure green irises and light brown hair, makeup artists recommend using soft purple shades.

To complement the color of too light hair, pale pink shadows are optimal. Hair with a golden shimmer will be well complemented by a bronze shade of makeup. For girls with blonde hair and green eyes with shades of warm colors, make-up in delicate sand tones is suitable.

If the green eyes have shades of cool colors, then it is recommended to use purple and green tones, based on the principles of contrast and complement.

Care should be taken when choosing a color palette of eyeshadows and exclude variegated shades, since they are not suitable for everyday makeup.

Makeup for green eyes with drooping eyelids

When applying makeup on eyes with overhanging eyelids, stylists recommend refusing to use excessively dark shades, close to black, clear lines and arrows, except when used to visually correct the location of the eyes.

Use only dry eyeshadows, as their liquid and cream types will collect in the folds between the upper eyelids and eyebrows, impairing the appearance.

Around the edge of the overhanging eyelid, apply a matte, dark shade of medium intensity, as if drawing a crease. Closer to the lash line, you need to apply shadows of a golden or sandy hue, as well as lighten the inner corners of the eyelids and the area under the eyebrows to visually increase the volume of the eyes. The border between the transitions should be carefully shaded.

Life hacks: How to give your face a rejuvenating lifting effect using makeup

The following tools will help to visually tighten the oval of the face and hide age-related changes:

1. With the help of the corrector, you need to lighten the inner corners of the eyelids and other wrinkles that distort the oval of the face.
2. Dark areas of the eyelid skin should be treated with a light concealer. If there are bags under the eyes, then you need to lighten the skin directly under the defect in order to visually push it into the background.
3. A reflective makeup base will help even out skin tone and visually rejuvenate it. This base refracts rays of light before they are reflected, creating a lifting effect.
4. Makeup artists recommend that you abandon the foundation with a tanning effect, as it visually ages the skin. The shade of the foundation should exactly match the skin tone, while choosing a product with a translucent soft structure so that it does not accentuate wrinkles.
5. Soft rosy shades of blush will give the face a healthy, rested look and hide age-related skin pigmentation.

Stylists recommend visually raising the outer corners of the eyelids with a gray contour pencil for a more expressive look. Black eyeliner is not suitable for this purpose and will look out of place.

Pastel shades of eyeshadow will help refresh the skin, while mascara with a curling effect will visually lift the eyelids and rejuvenate the look.

How to correctly apply everyday makeup for green eyes is shown step by step in the photos given above, however, you need to choose cosmetics taking into account the individual characteristics of your appearance - this will help to emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws.

According to most stylists, green eyes are optimal for everyday makeup, as they are attractive and mesmerizing in themselves. Cosmetics are required only for the placement of color accents and complement the image.
