Eye makeup is a real art.

If you know exactly how to paint your eyes correctly, you can look your best in any situation.

And with the help of a simple set of cosmetics, you can try on dozens of different images.

How to paint your eyes: an overview of cosmetics

To create eye makeup, you will need several basic cosmetics: eyelid base, eyeliner, shadows, kayal, mascara. The base under the shadows is most often sold in the form of a cream product that evens out the color of the eyelid, hides small vessels and generally gives a slight masking effect. However, the main task is the means - to create an ideal coating on the eyelid, on which the shadows will last for a long time, without crumbling, without gathering into a fold, and will give up all their pigment.

Eyeliner is available in several types:

. a simple or automatic pencil;

. felt-tip pen (liner);

. liquid or gel eyeliner;

. shadow-eyeliner.

For beginners in the art of makeup, it is best to use pencils. They are soft, easy to apply and just as easy to wash off, allow you to draw an even line along the upper or lower eyelid and are generally very convenient to use. The disadvantage of the tool is that the pencil is easily smeared, imprinted on the eyelid, flowing in the heat.

In this sense felt-tip pen(or liner) is preferred. It is also simple and convenient to work with them, you can draw a perfectly even arrow, giving it the desired thickness. A good quality liner does not leave marks on the upper eyelid, does not crumble during the day and looks perfect. One thing: this tool is enough for a short time, and if the felt-tip pen is not closed tightly, it will dry out quickly.

Liquid and gel eyeliner applied with a special brush, which allows you to make a perfect clear line of classic arrows. Such makeup is most often created for an evening out, as it looks too bright. Working with a brush is not easy, you need to get used to it, so this way to properly paint your eyes is suitable for experienced young ladies. However, some manufacturers supply a liquid cosmetic product not with a brush, but with a special stick. Learning to let them eyelids is much easier.

You can make eyeliner and baked eye shadow by applying them with a flat small brush. Makeup is more gentle, without clear lines. Shadows are applied both dry and wet. AT last case the line will be brighter.

However, in most cases, eye shadow is not used as an eyeliner, but to cover the upper eyelid to create a complete eye makeup. They can be pearlescent (with more or less shimmer) or matte. It is convenient to use ready-made palettes with well-chosen shades of colors. No need to rack your brains on how to properly paint your eyes, what colors to combine. Cream and liquid shadows are sold in the form of "odnushki".

To sum up the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid, a dark kayal - a special soft pencil that does not cause irritation. With him, the look becomes very expressive. However, for owners of small eyes, this product is dangerous, as it can visually narrow the incision of the eyelids even more.

As for mascara, then this is one of the most popular cosmetic products, with which any beginner cosmetic bag begins. There are many options for mascaras: regular, curling, creating volume, separating, waterproof, caring and even colorless - for styling. Which one to buy depends on individual characteristics and the condition of the eyelashes.

How to paint eyes correctly: choose an image

To create a harmonious image, you need to consider two main points: individual color type(that is, a combination of hair color, iris, eyebrows, and skin tone) and makeup purpose.

Blondes you need to be very careful when using black for eyeliner: it is too harsh and can make the image vulgar. How to paint eyes? Preference should be given to softer brown-gray shades. Shadows should help the iris, that is, enhance the natural color. Makeup artists advise using cold shades of gray, blue, greenish.

Bright brunettes they can boldly use black eyeliners, and when choosing colored ones, give preference to those shades that are combined with the color of their hair and eyes. Warm brown, peach, ocher, emerald tones will create a great make-up.

For red-haired girls there are no prohibitions: they are naturally bright, they can use literally any eyeliners, shadows and not really think about how to paint their eyes correctly. However, they need to be careful with brown pencils and pink shadows: these pigments can give the impression of tearful or sore eyes. But a thick black eyeliner will not make the image vulgar: red-haired beauties are the only ones who can afford it both during the day and in the evening.

Important advice from professional makeup artists: shadows should not exactly repeat the color of the iris. This will make the look expressionless. A slight contrast, "wrongness", on the contrary, will attract attention.

How to beautifully make up your eyes with shadows and choose the right cosmetics

In order to comprehend the basics of the right make-up, you need to acquire high-quality cosmetics, which the following rules will help you choose:

  1. Shadows should have a uniform velvety structure, be persistent and have a rich color. Swipe with cream or dry eyeshadow back side palms - the line should be uniform, smooth and not crumble;
  2. When choosing an eyeliner, give preference to a strong rod with a soft brush. Eyeliner should leave a clear line regardless of width and dry quickly. For greater durability, you can choose a waterproof formula;
  3. Mascara choose, focusing on your needs: a curved brush curls eyelashes; liquid teeth separate and lengthen, and a thick brush creates the effect of false eyelashes;
  4. When choosing a pencil, inspect its lead: there should be no plaque on it, it is desirable that it be soft and, when drawing a line along the skin, does not leave lumps and crystals. The color should match your type: blondes will suit light shades of green, turquoise, blue or golden; brunettes should choose dark, olive, purple and navy blue colors, and red-haired girls should choose brown, brick, red and green. Each cosmetic bag should have a beige or white (depending on skin tone) soft pencil with a creamy texture to emphasize the lower mucous membrane of the eye;
  5. The quality of the brushes affects how the shadows will lay down and how carefully they will be shaded. When working with loose shadows, natural hair brushes are used. Shadows are applied with a brush (5), shaded in the corners with a brush (2), and arrows are drawn with a thin and short one (3) and the lower eyelid is brought down. To apply cream shadows, sponges or fingertips are used.

This little cosmetic arsenal will help you learn how to make beautiful eyes.

How to choose the color of the shadows

The color of the shadows should be selected based on skin tone, hair and eye color:

Green eyes
If you have light green eyes, look for discreet shadows in neutral colors - this will help "open" your eyes and emphasize their natural beauty. Owners of a dark green or jade shade can experiment with shadows - burgundy, pinkish, olive and lilac will shade the color of the eyes and give them magnetism.

Brown eyes
The most versatile eye color that allows any experiments and unusual combinations. The only rule is to avoid too light and pale shadows, in contrast to bright brown eyes, they will look gray and dull, making a “sad” face.
Your classic palettes are black, dark brown, bright green, olive, purple and blue. A copper-brown palette will look especially elegant and soft on you.

Grey eyes

Blue eyes
In tandem with blue eyes, calm and light colors: gray, blue, lavender and brown. bad joke contrasting colors can play with you, which will make the look faded and extinct. You should also beware of dark blue and burgundy colors - they create the illusion of bruising.

Color type

brunettes
  • Cold - almost all bright colors are suitable. Feel free to experiment with combinations and palettes, but you should refrain from pale pink and mother-of-pearl.
  • Warm - look for golden brown and honey palettes that will give you softness and sophistication.
Blondes
  • Cold - light pastel colors: blue, lavender, beige. Don't go overboard with mother-of-pearl so you don't look too cold. Do not use black, blue and gray.
  • Warm - bright, clean and shimmery shadows - your option. Replace black smoky ice with smoky blue.
    Red and warm brown-haired women - muted shades of gold, brown and red are ideal. Taboo - acid contrast eyeliners and cold palettes.

Makeup with black shadows is an expressive, bold and bright accent on the face. It is very important to choose the right makeup for brown eyes, green, black, blue, correctly distribute the saturation of the tone and follow the rules of shading. Only then will the result be worthy of your expectations. Let's look at the basic rules and requirements.

The decision to use black shadows in makeup should be considered several times. The resulting image for someone may seem too vulgar, bright and defiant. If you are tender and light, and your wardrobe has never seen black or extravagant things, then this makeup may not suit you. It has nothing to do with hair color. Black shadows are suitable for blondes, and brunettes, and brown-haired women and redheads. The same goes for eye color. For green eyes, makeup with black shadows is suitable in the same way as for blue or brown.

When choosing black shadows, give preference to better and more expensive offers. If cheap low-quality black shadows are sprinkled and rolled, then this will quickly become noticeable. Sometimes shading problem occurs when using high-quality shadows. You can prevent ugly smeared lines under the eyes by first applying powder to the skin there. Then crumbled crumbs can be easily brushed off with a brush. Otherwise, you will have to remove it using a special tool.


Makeup with black shadows is not very good for daytime use. Usually it serves as a great addition to the evening look, when monochrome shadows most favorably emphasize the eyes. A bright lipstick in this make-up will also look vulgar and vulgar. Stylists recommend using desaturated, natural shades.

Note that you can add more charm to the evening dress with black shadows in harmony with an even, perfect skin tone. Wrinkles, bumps, and even barely noticeable spots can spoil the image. You can correct the situation using foundation, concealer,. On the skin pre-treated in this way, the shadows will lie evenly and beautifully, and it will look more attractive. Cream and makeup base are also welcome.

Makeup rules

Before proceeding with the instructions for makeup with black shadows, consider a few basic rules that should be followed:

Wrinkles on the face in the pastAt 29 everyone thinks I'm a student

  1. The greatest emphasis on the inner corner of the eye is made if your eyes are set deep. If, on the contrary, and the bridge of the nose is quite narrow, then the greatest emphasis is placed on the outer corner of the eye;
  2. In standard makeup, shadows are applied to the upper eyelid with a wide stroke, and then shaded with a clean brush or white shadows;
  3. Black shadows are superimposed on the lower eyelid with a thin line, often without shading, along the lash line;
  4. Makeup with black shadows with sparkles is much more difficult to create than matte ones. Therefore, it is better to choose a matte version that will look calmer. The glitter option must be diluted with lighter, contrasting shadows or matte black.

Finally, a few words about special makeup tools. To blend each element, it is best to use your own clean brush. But if this is not possible, then all makeup can be done with one applicator brush. With it, it will be very convenient to apply shadows, shade them and, on top, a pencil. But to blend the border between the shadows, you still need a fluffy and soft brush. Give this moment more time, because the greatest effect of makeup with black shadows is achieved precisely with the help of shading.

Instruction


In makeup, black shadows are usually combined with others - brown, cream, gray and even white. In stores, you can find specialized palettes with well-chosen shades.

The most common use of black eyeshadow is Smokey Eyes. Although it has long gained popularity, not everyone is familiar with the technique of its implementation. Here is a step-by-step instruction for the perfect makeup in the style of "Smoky eyes":

  1. We will need: black matte shadows, gray shadows (it is better to use darker ones), a black pencil, a brush. You can use eyeliner;
  2. Preparation stage. We apply a base under the shadows or foundation on the eyelids, on which we put powder on top. For the greatest contrast, you can use cosmetics a tone lighter than your skin;
  3. With a black pencil, draw a line along the upper eyelid. It should be in contact with the lash line without leaving gaps. It is best if the pencil is soft so that the line does not turn out too thin;
  4. We shade the resulting line with a pre-prepared brush. When working, the brush moves to the middle of the moving eyelid. The result is a fairly wide band of saturated color, fading in brightness towards the middle of the century;
  5. Apply a thick layer of black shadows to the entire moving eyelid;
  6. On the border with black shadows, we impose gray ones and proceed to shading. Carefully work out, pay Special attention corner of the eye, creating an accent. If the brush is halfway in the crease of the eyelid, you are working correctly;
  7. We bring the lower eyelid with a black pencil, moving along the lash line. Your task is to connect it with the line on the upper eyelid. Then shade the resulting line;
  8. We impose gray shadows with a thin line and also shade them. You can work in the direction to the left or right to the temple, but in no case down!
  9. We complement the makeup with the design of eyelashes. To make them look thicker and more magnificent, you can powder them before applying mascara and twist them. Favorably will look in this composition and false eyelashes.

If the top line of the pencil turned out to be not bright enough, then it can be emphasized with the help of eyeliner. It is best to do this when you have already applied shadows or at the very end of makeup. For owners of large eyes who would like to reduce them, such advice: working on the lower eyelid, bring the inner eyelid. Then your eyes will visually appear smaller.

Eyebrow shadows

Sometimes black shadows are used as eyebrow shadows (We have already told what shadows are in). This is not quite correct, but quite convenient. The same shading rules will work here as for eye makeup.

It is important to remember that black color is not always suitable for eyebrows. Your hair color plays a big role. For light shades of hair, the use of black color to emphasize the eyebrows is absolutely excluded, for dark ones it is allowed. In the design of eyebrows, it is important that the tone is chosen either to match your natural one, or differ by 1-3 tones.

Every woman wants to be irresistible. And makeup plays a big role in this. It is right to put accents on the face where they are needed most.

The main thing is to make an expressive and piercing look. The eyes are the mirror of the soul, so to speak, a calling card. They require special care and attention. You always want to look decent before an important or evening event - going to the cinema, a restaurant, a date or a corporate party. We present a small master class - how to paint the eyes correctly.

How to paint eyes?

Stylists assure that the perfect evening eye makeup can be done quickly and with a few simple steps. In practice, this usually takes no more than five minutes.

First, you need to prepare your eyes with a corrective pencil or masking (tonal) cream. The corrector is almost always indispensable in eliminating the effect of dark circles under the eyes and shading age spots. It is enough to drop three tiny drops of foundation into the area under the eye and rub them towards the outer corner from the inner one, where the skin is dark. It is important that this procedure takes place delicately, since the skin under the eyes is quite delicate. Use your ring finger, because it is considered the softest.

Secondly, apply eye foundation to the eyelid. This is the secret to the strength and durability of future shadows. If the base is not applied, then the eyelid will quickly begin to shine, and the shadows themselves will roll into stripes. The base for eye makeup is ready, now you can proceed to the makeup itself.

How to draw arrows on the eyes?

Arrows on the eyes are loved by almost all women. Usually eyeliner is used to draw graceful arrows. It is easier and more successful for her to draw arrows. It is quite saturated and under the color of the eyes you can pick up any color of eyeliner. You can also use a pencil to line your eyes. You can outline the contour of the eyes with dark shadows. It will not look so bright and is suitable for daytime makeup.



Try to bring your eyes along the line that is as close as possible to the base of the eyelashes. At the same time, lead it from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. If you paint the eyes from below, then carefully draw a line under the lower lashes. Here it is worth leading it from the middle of the eye to the outer edge. And you can shade or soften the line with a cotton swab or with your finger.

In any case, from the first time, not everyone succeeds in carefully bringing their eyes up with eyeliner or a pencil. The key here is practice. Over time, you will get better and better, the main thing is not to despair. To help you, you can purchase a thin eye liner, which is present in almost all cosmetic brands, and with its help it will be easier for you to learn how to draw beautiful and even arrows. Then you can experiment with the thickness, length and color of the arrows and choose the style that best suits you.

Arrows on the eyes

Knowing how to use eyeliner correctly is a subtle science. The secret of the pencil is that it can make even small and narrow eyes stand out and noticeable against the background of the entire face. The main thing here is to learn how to use it. Lines should not be sharp, deliberate and dark.

If you plan to line your eyes with a classic pencil (that is, not liquid), then check if it is perfectly sharpened. Before you make up the eye, highlight that area with shadows. This is necessary so that the line does not disappear and does not melt after a few hours.

Most often, a pencil is applied to upper part eyes. The line should be drawn from inner edge, and at the root of the eyelashes, to the outer. Do it in one steady motion. If you, nevertheless, stumbled in the middle, then the line may turn out to be broken. False start will have to be washed off with a special lotion and proceed to the pencil eyeliner again. Of course, practice is important here. Don't despair if it didn't work the first time, in a few days you will be able to draw perfectly smooth lines above the eyes.



If your eyes are not too big and round, then draw a line at the bottom of the eye. But only from the middle to the outer edge. Otherwise, this option will look very strange - the eyes will become even larger. And be sure to blend the line from the pencil with a cotton swab, finger or shadows. In this case, it will not be very catchy.

How beautiful to make up the eyes with shadows?

Another important step is the application of shadows. Hollywood makeup artists advise using the so-called three-level shadows, which include the base, marker and base. They allow you to achieve the effect of volume. Shadows should be applied correctly from the base of the eyelid to the eyebrows. Moreover, uniform neat strokes. Shadows should reach the eyebrows themselves, at least in the area from the middle of the eye to its outer edge. If you want to apply several shades, then first use a lighter one, on the border of the eyelid and eyebrows, and then the darkest one, put it on the eyelid itself.



Next, lighten your eyes with a cosmetic highlighter or the lightest shade of eyeshadow. A microscopic stroke over the inner end of the eye will suffice. In this case, the eye will instantly and dazzlingly sparkle.

Be sure to emphasize the line of the eyebrows. Apply some light shadows under them, leading from the middle to the outer edge. After that, rub the shadows with your finger or a clean brush.

Pay attention to a few secrets. The first is proper blending, that is, the so-called tint blending. Experts assure that you need to use at least three shades in each make-up - light (base), dark (marker for outlining the contour of the eyelashes) and main (for the eyelid). We start with light and end with dark. The base shade is applied to the entire surface of the eyelid up to the brow bone, and after that we apply the main color. At the end, the accents are hatched with a marker. And here the main thing is not to overdo it. Therefore, before makeup, you should practice a little in front of the mirror, play with colors and shadows for the only right decision.

Another secret to success is choosing the right shade. It is better if you choose bright and individual colors. Please note that blue shadows are for blue eyes, and brown for brown are not forbidden. Today, stylists recommend emphasizing your eye color with the appropriate shade. Antagonists are also popular, that is, blue on brown eyes or gilded on gray eyes. And most importantly, don't be afraid to experiment.



Never apply a rich shade to the brow bone. Extra touches add drama to the image. Shades should lie only on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe eyelid. If you want to shade the brow bone, then put neutral shadows there.

Don't be afraid to use glitter eyeshadow. They are good, but emphasize all wrinkles and folds. If your eyelids are still perfectly even, then do not be afraid of sparkles.

How to apply mascara?

The next step is to take on the eyelashes. Curl them with special tweezers. In this case, even the longest eyelashes will be much more attractive. It is worth noting that it is necessary to twist them before applying mascara.

How to color eyelashes?

Lastly, apply mascara to your eyes. Place the mascara brush at the base of the lashes and move it back and forth in a curling motion. Try to distribute the paint evenly. After staining, you can comb the eyelashes with a special brush so that there is no lump of mascara left on them.

How to make smokey ice ("Smoky eyes")?

If you want to create a "smoky eyes" effect, then make half the line of the upper part of the eye, from the middle to the outer edge, more bold. And to heighten the effect, tint the eyelashes with a pencil with sharp strokes.



If you want to achieve a more youthful, so-called "disco" effect, then take not a classic black pencil, but blue, green or silver. With such colors, the eyes will sparkle with new colors.

But for the effect of "cat woman" it is worth drawing a clear line from the inner edge of the eye to the outer one, while slightly bending the line up at the last stage. That is, the line should not end at the edge of the eye, it should look up at the outer border of the eyelid. But on the lower part of the eye, draw a line not along the entire length, but slightly stepping back from the outer edge.

By the way, when creating "smoky eyes" do not use cheap shadows. Painstaking makeup requires good cosmetics and jewelry approach. And don't smear the colors above the eyelid and beyond the line under the lower lashes.
