How to paint your eyes with shadows, pencil or mascara

Makeup helps girls emphasize all the advantages of facial beauty and hide certain flaws. If you know how to paint your eyes correctly, you can highlight their depth and brightness, make the look more languid or dramatic.

How to paint eyes with shadows

The first thing to remember is that you need to use high-quality cosmetics. Any cheap shadows (regardless of whether they are liquid or pressed) tend to roll in the folds of the eyelid. It looks extremely sloppy and spoils the overall image. The second thing to focus on is the base. Without a tonal and powder coating, the colors of the shadows will be inexpressive.

Step by step:

The base is applied to the skin first. Instead, you can use body shadows or powder. Immediately, we note that the base means a tonal coating or a special base for makeup;
Next, white shades of shadows are applied to the skin of the moving eyelid, they must also be applied under the eyebrow. This will make the eyes more expressive and all other colors that will be made up on top of the light layer will look brighter;
If you work with shadows with a shimmer, then they should not just be shaded, but driven into the skin. It is best to use a flat eyeshadow brush. To work with classic pressed shadows, an ordinary small sponge is suitable. They need to apply the main color on the upper eyelid;
To visually make the eyes more expressive, and give the look an openness, you need to add a little shine to the corner. It can be a highlighter stroke or just a drop of white shadows;
Regardless of the shape, it is important to darken the outer corner - this will add drama without too much congestion of the image. To do this, two dark colors are combined (brown and black, blue and black, etc.), and they are applied with a beveled thin brush strictly along the lash line. After that, like a liner, a thin tail is removed outside the moving eyelid;
It remains to make up the eyelashes with mascara and bring the eyebrows.

Why mix two dark colors instead of just one? Most drum shades look flashy on their own, and some (brown) can even add age or redness. To avoid this, they are combined with each other.

How to paint with a pencil

If earlier it was recommended to paint the eyes with either a white or black pencil, now it is correct to use any shades. The brighter, the more interesting. This is a huge scope for imagination, because you can choose the right option for any color. But the most popular, nevertheless, are black, brown and dark blue.

How to paint with a pencil step by step:

The pencil is used in much the same way as the liner. In no case do not lead from the inner corner to the outer one line. It is unlikely to turn out to be even and neat, especially symmetrical;
The pencil is applied only with thin light strokes. The tail is removed at the end of the process, so at first all attention is paid to the thin line of eyelash growth. Try to work with a sharpened pencil to make it as invisible as possible. Later you can give it the necessary thickness;
To make the pencil strokes look uniform, they must be slightly shaded with a beveled brush. And only after that the tip of the arrow is pulled out;
To reveal the look, a little highlighter is applied to the lower eyelid. Alternatively, you can use a white or shiny light pencil (in this case, its pigment will need to be thoroughly rubbed);
After mascara is applied, the hollow at the inner side of the upper eyelid is emphasized with shadows, the eyebrow line is highlighted.

How to paint arrows on the eyes

Classic arrows go to almost all girls. They are the basis of the favorite makeup of Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and many other symbols of seductiveness. Despite the apparent simplicity, a clear line with a graceful tail is quite difficult to draw.

Instructions on how to make arrows in the style of Kylie Jenner:

You need to apply a light base on the upper eyelid. We recommend using dry shadows or powder. To make the eyes appear more open, shadows of a darker color are also applied to the cavity near the upper eyelid. After this shadow is shaded;
On the main part of the century, mother-of-pearl shadows are superimposed on top of the base. They should also be applied to the corner of the bridge of the nose and under the eyebrows. This will make the image more harmonious;
Liner stains the lash line. To do this, thin small strokes up to a third of the eyelid are applied with the edge of the brush. To learn how to draw arrows beautifully, you need to do them exclusively with open eyes. So the curvature or unevenness will be immediately noticeable;
The tail is drawn at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the lash line. After that, a thin line is drawn from its extreme tail up to a third of the century. It is painted over with eyeliner or pencil;
The rest of the century is also stained with thin strokes. The most inconspicuous lines should fall on the corner of the eye;
Next, the eyelashes are painted. But Kylie often uses overheads (by the way, they can also be painted with ink). Then they will look very natural.

Learning to paint with eyeliner

With eyeliner, you can draw for yourself not only thin "cat" arrows, but also spectacular art. They fundamentally differ from thin and ultra-thin in their shape and size. Considered incredibly popular due to the style trend of the 80s and 90s.

Tips on how to paint with a liner for beginners:

Regardless of the type of eyeliner (matte, glossy, liquid, pencil, etc.), it is applied only on a powder base. Otherwise, the line will be smeared and imprinted on the upper crease of the eyelid;
All girls face the problems of "different" arrows. To avoid this, you need to paint only with your eyes open. Please note that even templates will not help in this case: the eye sockets have a different shape, which is especially noticeable when painting the arrows;
To correctly make up your eyes with a liner, you can not draw one continuous line. First, the strokes are painted, and only then will they connect with each other;
The most important rule when working with eyeliner is that the first line should be as thin as possible. If necessary, it can be thickened, but made thinner will not work. You have to completely wash off your make-up.

How to paint with ink

Without applying mascara, eye makeup will not be complete. This is a unique cosmetic product that can even by itself make the look spectacular and bright. It is best to use black and brown mascara, although you can adapt to paint with brighter shades: blue, green, purple.

How to apply mascara step by step:

The hair needs to be twisted. To do this, you can use tweezers, but if they are not at hand, then they are even wound on a finger. To do this, the index finger is horizontally applied to the upper eyelid and the cilia are smoothed along its direction;
First, it is important to dye the hairs on the inside of the eye. The brush with mascara is directed parallel to the lash line and is drawn from the very roots to the tips. Depending on the consistency of this cosmetic product, two or more layers may be required;
Be sure to stain the lower cilia. To do this, a progressive circular motion is made with a brush. From roots to ends, the paint is applied with soft movements;
At the end, you need to apply an additional layer of mascara to the roots - this will extend the "durability" of the curls. If some hairs stick together, then they are simply combed with a brush or tweezers.

Step-by-step instructions on how to paint with different eye shapes

Depending on the shape, there are different technologies for applying shadows and liner. Small manipulations will allow yourself to make a first-class make-up. Any master can, with the help of small strokes, emphasize the most advantageous features of the eyes and hide any flaws.

Makeup for impending eyelids

When the eyelids hang down, the eyes immediately become visually smaller, this gives extra age and creates the effect of “chronic” fatigue. Gently darkening the problem area, you can not only immediately become younger and refresh the image.

Master class on how to make up eyes with a lowered eyelid:

The base is applied to the upper eyelid, the lower one is applied with a light pencil or highlighter. The skin fold at the outer corner is carefully shaded with brown shadows or a liner;
The brown shade is stretched to a third of the lower eyelid, a ponytail is made at the corner to create a small arrow. Professionals blend shadows or a pencil with a brush, but at home you can use a sponge;
To beautifully darken the overhanging part of the eyelid, a dark shade of shadows is applied over it, as close as possible to the natural palette. It blends very well. Beige light shadows are applied to the outer part and also stewed;
To make it as natural as possible, the shadows of the two shades gently blend together. This will provide a transition from the light part to the dark;
Only after that an arrow is drawn on the outer corner. To do this, it is best to use a dark shade of shadows: brown, graphite gray or another of your choice;
If the eyelids hang a lot, but you also need to create a reflective accent on top of the darkened crease. To do this, under the eyebrows and before the beginning of the darkened zone, pearl-colored shadows or a shimmer are applied;
A thin line of black eyeliner is drawn along the lash line. The lower eyelid can be tinted with a bright liner. It is selected depending on the color of the eyes;
The corners are brightened with a highlighter. They also tint the area under the lower eyelid.

Bulging and large eyes

If almond-shaped eyes do not cause any problems to their owners, then girls with bulging and overly large eye sockets have to visually narrow them all the time.

How to make up bulging round eyes:

A clear black outline is applied to the cream base. The easiest way to create it is with eyeliner. The line of the liner is shaded with a beveled hard sponge or brush to create a spectacular tip;
The moving part of the eyelid is covered with a matte calm shade of shadows. Additionally, the crease under the eyebrow is clarified;
After that, a little bit of dark is applied over a light color. You should not completely divert your eyes into darkening - this will give an extra emphasis on the convex part;
Only after that the classic arrow is drawn with a dark liner. Some makeup artists use black shadows for this purpose, which they apply with a very small and thin dampened brush;
With the help of a brush, small strokes are made upwards, the shadows seem to stretch towards the middle of the eye. This will darken the moving eyelid and make it as accurate as possible;
Highlighter or shadows with a shimmer are applied to the corners;
Now, from the middle of the lower eyelid, a light natural eyelash shadow is created. It is most convenient to do this with the same shadows that were used for the base on the top. Be sure to emphasize the lower stroke of the eye. To do this, you need to bring it with a gray or dark beige pencil. It is unacceptable to use light shades.

We paint narrow and small eyes

Slanted or narrow eyes most often have a small shape. But despite this, with the right makeup, they look incredibly impressive and beautiful.

Makeup for narrow eyes

How to properly make up oriental eyes at home:

The entire moving eyelid is worked out with the lightest shade. Ideally, it should be close to porcelain or white;
After that, the skin is covered with mother-of-pearl or shimmeror;
A thin line is applied to the inner corner of the eye and the outer part with a liner. Next, a cold shade of brown is selected and applied to the upper crease at the eyebrow;
Now the most interesting point. The scheme for painting narrow eyes is fundamentally different from all those described above. In particular, the fact that the crease between the movable eyelid and the eyebrow is emphasized by a thin line of dark color. It needs to be created with the eye open, so at first you will have to practice a little;
From this "bird" the tail is stretched, it remains open. After that, from the middle of the eye to the outer corner, the second arrow is stretched, here its tail will close the upper eyelid. Naturally, the lines are shaded according to the growth of eyelashes;
After the eyes are brought in a classic way (cat-like) with liquid eyeliner. It remains to add a little mascara and gloss under the lower eyelid.

Evening smokey ice is made according to the same scheme, but brighter colors are selected for it.

Deep set eyes

The main problem of deep-set eyes is extra volume above the upper crease. If the eyelids are sunken, then the eye socket is "lost" under them. Here it is important to darken not the fold itself, but the space above it.

Instructions on how to do daytime makeup for deep-set eyes:

For this type, the optimal beige-brown gamma with a slight splash of red. This will create the most natural shadow;
A dark shadow is applied over the problematic fold. It is shaded at a slight angle, as if stretching the eye. The same shade in a very small amount is applied under the lower eyelid;
To prevent the eyes from looking tired, a thin classic arrow is painted over the eyelashes. This subtle outline will also help lift the outer corner, making it slightly stretched;
For the arrow on the upper eyelid, it is best to work with liquid eyeliner, but do not remove the tip. This will only accentuate the weakness. Leave it open as it were. Underline the lower lash line from the middle to the edge with a dark feathered line;
A small amount of gloss is applied to the inner corner. We recommend that with deep-set eyes, work exclusively with matte shadows in natural colors - this will allow you to look much more natural than when using catchy shades;
Then mascara is applied and eyebrows are brought up. Note that the area around the eyebrows should also not be highlighted. Leave it almost untouched (with the exception of foundation).

By all the laws of color, if you use the “correct” shades in the shadows, you can achieve an incredible effect: the color will become bright, expressive, deep.

Brown eyes

Brunettes are very dark cold shades. These are purple, lilac and the whole gamut of blue. For daytime makeup, we recommend paying attention to delicate lilac tones and matte beige (they are natural and suitable for everyone).

Greens

Girls with such a unique color are suitable for shades with a reddish pigment. These are brown, red, peach and other "warm" shades. Red and pinkish palettes look especially cool.

Gray and gray blue

These are almost perfect colors. Almost all shades are suitable for their owners, including black and dark gray.

Blue

All blondes are suitable for light gray shades of shadows, yellowish, beige and mother-of-pearl. As an eyeliner, black and dark gray liners are ideal. But brown and bright colors are best avoided.
