Applying Makeups
Eye Makeup:
The ideal shape of eyes is considered to be almond shaped. So when making up eyes, one tries with the help of light and dark eye makeup to make the necessary changes to give the eyes an almond appearance.
1.Eyeshadow:
Application Technique:
The following steps are followed in the application of eye shadow shades.
-
Gently apply the base colour, using a blunt-ended brush, to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
-
To define the eyes more, a deeper shade is blended into the crease line giving depth to the eyes.
-
Highlight the brow bone with a light shade to give the eyes a wide, open look. Apply the color in the most prominent area and blend up towards the brow and down to where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases.
-
Always test the colours on the back of the hand before using on the lids to test the intensity. You can use even 3-4 colours, provided they are blended well. Remember pale tones emphasize, while deep sooty shades define.
Eye Liners:
Application Technique For The Liquid Eye Liner:
Test the eyeliner on the back of your hand applying a little amount of pressure. It is best to steady your elbow on a flat surface for. Apply from the inside of the eye to the outside corner. Keep the line light and even. To get the round and wide-eyed effect, stop at the corner of the eyes. For a more exotic look continue the line and sweep it up and out. Finally smudge the edges with a cotton bud to soften them.
Application Technique For The Pencil Eyeliner:
They are used in same manner to define or extend the shape of the eyes, but they give a much softer and natural line. Always keep them sharpened and ready for use. Blunted or broken points can spoil the whole effect.
Mascara:
How To Apply Mascara?
First look down and brush the top lashes from the roots downwards. Then look up and brush the top lashes upwards. Keep on looking up and brush mascara on the lower lashes. Wait till they dry and similarly apply a second coat. Brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes.
To Remove Mascara:
When you remove the mascara don't let colour go into area below the bottom lashes as it's sensitive. Close your eyes and roll a cotton bud dipped in a cosmetic cleanser over the lashes. Take the mascara down onto the tissue and till all the mascara is gone.
