Vibrant shades may be all over the lips this season but not all over the face!
The trends for eye shadows and blush are definitely warmer tones with a more contoured face. We’re moving away from the smoky eye and revealing a more refined stoic appeal with defined cheeks and lips.
It’s still all about the brows, structured fuller brows and light on the eyeliner. It’s a look that frames the face rather than focusing on any one particular area. The look is sharp and crisp just like those brisk mornings you experience on a cool winters day.
When applying eyeshadow, ensure you use the correct type of brush. Some of the common types of eyeshadow brushes include theflat tippedbrushto use on your eyelids,crease brush,tiny pencil brushand a blending brush.
When applying them, do not use vigorous strokes. Instead, use gently strokes and work until you get a uniform nice coat. Furthermore, just use the tip of your brush and feather it to where you want it to appear. Avoid swiping color back and forth i.e. apply towards one direction. In addition, when blending them, ensure you use swirling soft motions. After using your eyeshadow brushes, ensure you wash them or when buying them, make inquiries of how it can be cleaned. If you are using powder formulation and you want more vivid looks, you can wet the brush. If you want to create depth, you might be required to use three hues or colors. The general rule for using different colors is similar to the one of using different shades. The darkest color is applied next to the lash line up to the eye creases; theeye crease will have the medium colorwhile the area above the eye crease to the brow bone will have the lightest or mild color. When using eye shadow, you need carefully to pair them up with other makeup such aslip makeupor even the othereye makeup. They should complement each other. If you want to draw attention to your eyes, the other face makeup should be mild to make your eyes outstanding.
1. Line the crease “socket” with the longwear pencil by starting at one corner and tracing along the crease in an arched shape until you reach the other corner.
2. Dip the crease brush into the metallic brown shadow and sweep it back and forth over the crease line, concentrating on blending it directly on the line and upward but not downward.
3. Load up one more time with the metallic brown shadow and repeat step 2.
4. Line the upper lashline and wing it slightly at the same angle of the cut crease.
5. Switch to the blackest black kohl pencil and line the lower lashline and rim the inner waterline.
7. Pick any matte color in the rainbow and sweep it across the lid carefully. You can absolutely do this step before the liner if you’re worried about accidentally going over it.
8. Add a couple coats of mascara.
9. Dip the smudge brush into metallic brown shadow and sweep it under the liner on the lower lashline. Then stamp the highlighting shadow in the inner corners with your finger.
