If you have done your eye makeup in the style that I have shown in
the 'making up is hard to do' articles and havent been satisfied with results
or perhaps need a more restrained style then this small article on an
alternative approach to eye may just be what you
need.
This style is quite simple and quick to apply and is perfect for just
day wear and is also a perfect lightweight makeup style for
summer.
Stage 1 Lid and socket
color
Apply a light lilac shade just on the eyelid, dont run a socket line
color. This color will hardly be visible while your at an early stage so dont
be too tempted to over do it.
I used a Maybeline pale lilac
with a slight opalescent shimmer for this.
Now apply a white or opal shade
very lightly into the socket area and up to the eyebrow line. Again this will
be hardly noticeable while making up so again keep it
light.
Stage 2 Top line
Apply either a liquid eyeline
or Kohl pencil to the top lid. Unlike in other articles keep this line quite
thin with only the barest thickening at the edge of the
eye.
Stage 3 Bottom line and
edges
Now apply a Kohl pencil all the way round the botton of the eye and
also in the inner edges ( the bit nearest your nose). The bottom line should be
above the eyelashes on the skin thats against the eye.
Be
careful here and watch out for possible allergic reactions because this line
will contact the eyeball. My eyes are quite used to it but for a novice it can
sting and feel uncomfortable initially.
The Kohl pencil is applied all
the way round - check the pics above.
Stage 4
Mascara
Apply your mascare to the roots first and then once the lashes are
evenly colored hold the mascara wand againt the tips of the eyelashes forcing
them back. This will help the lashes hold a nice curl. Careful here that you
dont force he lashes back so far that they impact the eye socket and cause
smudges.
Apply Masacara in one very light coat to the bottom lashes - just
enough to darken them.
Stage 5
Complementary blusher and lipstick
For this eye coloring you will
need a slightly peachy / pink blusher and apply it very
lightly.
Lipstick colors for this should be paler than usual to help force the
emphasis on the eyes. I used a Rimmel watershine color in a pale-ish
pink.
This style suits blondes best of all but will work for redheads quite
well too. Its worth mentioning that you need fairly fine eyebrows to really
make it work.
Unlike the 'Making up is hard to do' eye makeup style which will suit
most people this style will only work for some girls.
