Eye shadows and red lipstick

After you apply your primer, foundation and compact, eye shadows and lipsticks, together with the blush, form a major glam-trio for any make-up regime. So, the real trick is to find out how to match the eye make-up with the lip coloring scheme. To start with the cardinal rule is to finish doing your lips first, then applying the blush and finally venturing on the vision spot.. the eyes!

EFFECTIVE EYE MAKE UP

STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE EYE MAKE UP :

1.         Clean and apply primer and concealer: Just clean the eye area to get rid of dirt and/ or leftover make-up. Then apply a primer on eyelids and a concealer in the under eye area to conceal dark spots. Spread with the tip of the fingers till it merges into the skin. Then gently dab the entire eye area with a light powder.

2.         Apply eye shadow: Applying eye shadow is a 3-step strategy; viz.

On your eyelid from the eye lashes to the crease (the slight dip of your eye socket below the brow bone), apply a medium color/ shade; e.g. pink, light brown or peach.

On the brow bone use a light color; e.g. pearly, off white, light golden, etc

Finally reach out to the crease line and apply a dark shade here taking care that the shade matches with the color on eye lids and the brow bone.

3.         Blend the colors: You cannot have three horizontal flowing shades. These should merge beautifully to give the right effect. Gently, blend with the tip of the finger or a fluffy brush.

4.         Eyeliner: The next step is to apply eye liner of the required thickness.

5.         Curl lashes: Using a curler, the lashes are to be curled upwards by clasping them for few seconds.

6.         Apply mascara: First apply the mascara from the base of the upper eye lashes, stroking upwards and outwards. Apply another coating before the first coat dries up. And here you go!

EYE SHADOW IDEAS; HOW TO MAKE AND BLEND EYE SHADOWS

EYE SHADOW IDEAS; HOW TO MAKE AND BLEND EYE SHADOWS:

1.         The first step is to highlight the inner corner of the eye, the centre of the eyelid and the outer corner of the brow bone area with a lighter and brighter shade.

2.         Adding dark shade to the corners, makes the eyes look evenly shaped.

3.         The cat eye look- Here the outer side of the lid is colored in a dark shade and is pointed up at the edge towards the brow bone. This goes with almost all kinds of eyes but is essentially good in balancing eyes drooping on the outer corners.

4.         If the eyes are too protruding, one trick is to apply a very dark shade on the crease line

5.         If eyes be the highlight spot in your make-up scheme, apply a dark shade on the entire eyelid.

6.         For the blending process, fingers are best when using cream and gel based products. For powdery ones, brushes are the best.

7.         For blending the crease line shade with the brow bone shade and the eyelid shade, move your brush in circles and blend from the outer end. Once you have reached half way, use back and forth strokes to get a uniform blend and that smear free impeccable look!

 HOW TO PUT ON A LIPSTICK

HOW TO PUT ON A LIPSTICK:
There are 3 basic steps to get that bee-stung full-lipped version of yours:

Ø  Apply lip balm and lip base: this gives a smooth finish to the lips, smoothens lines and crevices.

Ø  Lip liner: Contour out the lip line with a liner matching your lip color. The liner should not be very dark in shade in comparison to the lipstick shade. If your lips are thin, apply the liner parallel to the lip line just a millimeter or two above it.

Ø  Apply lipstick: either with a brush or directly from the stick starting from the centre of the upper lip and going outward and filling the outline made by the liner. Blot the excess color by pressing your lips against a soft tissue. Dab with some translucent powder and apply another coat. The bee-stung full-lipped lady is ready!
