- By: Alice Calandra
Eye makeup is one of the most
important parts in the overall cosmetic application technique.
If you know how to apply eye make up which is suitable for your
own; you could highly cheer up your appearance and attractiveness.
Here are the 4 important steps
in eye make up application technique:
1. Choose the right eye shadow
suitable for yourself
Eye shadows are mainly classified
into cream type and powder type. Powder type eye shadow is more
suitable for higher age or with oily skin type. A matured lady
may have more wrinkles around the eyes. It should be noted that
cream type eye shadow would be more easily hidden into the wrinkles
and darken the lines around the eyes. Besides, the cream type
eye shadow would be more easily dissolved in oily skin and is
less long-lasting.
2. Choose the right color
A brownish eye shadow is generally
a natural selection for daytime. If you are attending some formal
nighttime party, then it have to be matched with your dress’s
color and usually a brighter color is suitable. It is not necessary
to match exactly the same color with your dress, but they should
be under the same color ranges. Although there are a lot of colors
for choice on the market, you may not find the one which is most
suitable for yourself. Then you could utilize your creativity
to develop your own color by mixing 2 different colored eye shadows.
You could simply do it by brushing the powder type eye shadows
onto the back of your hand and mix the color thoroughly before
you apply it to your eyes.
- 3. Skillfully apply the eyeliner
-
- After you finished applying
the eye shadow, the next step would be wearing the eyeliner.
Choose of eyeliner application includes eyeliner pencil, eyeliner
liquid and eyeliner cream, and they have different usage and
functions. Eyeliner pencil would be the most easily to use, and
have the most naturally effect. However, it is comparatively
less long-lasting and would be most easily to dissolve. Eyeliner
liquid is more long lasting but the appearance would be less
natural, and it is more suitable for on-stage use.

When using the eyeliner cream,
the eyeliner brush should be dampened first and then apply with
a little drop of eyeliner cream. It needs the highest skill because
a shaking hand will easily result two or more eyelines in one
application. If you want your appearance to be younger, a natural
brownish colored eyeliner should be applied starting 1/3 from
the inside corner and all the way to the outside corner of eyes.
Besides, the eyeliner should be applied closely to the eyelashes.
In general, eyeliner pencil is
the most commonly used, and below is the tip to make it longer
lasting,
After finished applying the eyeliner
with the eyeliner pencil, a minute black color or dark grey eyeshadow
could be brushed on top of the eyeline. It is acted as protective
layer for the eyeliner and makes it more long lasting.
4. Framing with mascara
The final step is applying mascara
to make your eyes look with beautiful flaps of thick, dark, long
eyelashes. The most common problem encountered would be dirtying
the lower eyelid by mascara during blinking. It would be easily
solved by applying small quantity of dry powder onto the lower
eyelid. It would absorb excessive moisture and oil around the
eyelid, and prevent dissolving the mascara. If you want to have
thickened and attractive eyelashes, you should apply a minute
quantity of dry powder onto the eyelashes first and then apply
the first layer of mascara. You could repeat this procedure one
more time after the first layer of mascara is dried. Use a small
eyelash brush to separate the thickened eyelashes.
You may choose the mascara which
contains ingredients for nourishing the eyelashes. In case you
love swimming activities or you would be easily cried in a movie,
you may also choose the water-resistant mascara. But be sure
that you have the special removal cream for those water-resistant
makeups since general makeup remover may not do the work. |
