Certain cosmetic products are needed for eye makeup.

Eyeshadows come in different forms - creamy, crumbly, baked, liquid. The structure of the eyeshadows should be uniform and velvety.Now you can find shadows of any shade, matte and shiny. For convenience, the eyeshadows are sold in palettes to make it easier to match colors. For daytime makeup, two nude eyeshadow shades are usually sufficient. In order not to be mistaken with a shade, you can choose universal tones that suit everyone: neutral beige, white-gray or flesh-pink. You can apply shadows with a sponge or brush. Eyeshadows with large glitters are applied only with a brush.

A pencil or eyeliner will come in handy to accentuate the lash line and create a flirty arrow. It is better to choose an eyeliner that is quick-drying and waterproof. And the pencil is soft, with a good lead. The shade can be selected based on the hair color. For girls with blond hair, a green or blue eyeliner is suitable, a golden shade also looks good. For brunettes, darker colors (dark brown, olive) are suitable. Brown and green tones are suitable for red-haired girls.

A few steps to create eye makeup:

• They always start from the base. The base is applied to the closed eyelid to moisturize or even tone the skin. A primer is ideal, but you can replace it with matte nude eyeshadows.
• Blending helps make your makeup look organic. Shadows are applied gradually, blending the borders.
• With eyeliner or liquid eyeliner, you should carefully draw the eyelash contour. This will give the eyes an expressive look.
• A highlighter in the corner of the eyes and on the outside of the eyelid will give your makeup a fresh look. It is better to give preference to a persistent, dry highlighter.
• Mascara for longer, fuller lashes. You can use a curler (curler) to curl your eyelashes. Painted upwards along the entire length of the eyelashes in zigzag movements. You can reapply the mascara while the first is still wet.

When creating makeup, the features and shape of the eyes are taken into account.

• For small eyes, shadows are applied to the entire eyelid (up to the eyebrows). The outer borders of the eye darken, the inner ones, on the contrary, lighten. The lower eyelid is tinted with a white pencil.

• For large eyes, apply a thin line of eyeliner. Eyelashes are painted over with mascara once so as not to overload the image.

• If the eye is too round, the outer corners are more prominent than the inner corners. Use light colors.

• When creating makeup for deep-set eyes, you need to be careful with the arrows. They need to be shaded well, and all transitions should be smooth. The inner part of the eye is lightened, the outer one is darkened.

• For wide-set eyes, thoroughly paint over the eyelid area up to the eyebrows.

• In the case of close-set eyes, a smooth transition from light to dark is required.

• When making up puffy eyes, do not overload the lower area. It is enough to apply concealer. It is better to use shadows of light shades.

• Due to the lowered corners, the look seems sad. To fix this, you need to use light shadows. They will make the eyes look bigger and add freshness to the look. And dark shadows need to be applied just above the crease in order to externally raise the upper eyelid.

• Correctly set eyes give expressiveness to the look. To create an arrow or a lash line, use a pencil or special eyeliner.

• Eyeliner comes with a lead, which needs to be sharpened periodically, and a retractable lead. For a solid and straight line, use a pencil of medium hardness. And a pencil with a retractable lead is easier to shade.

• The eyeliner enhances the lash line and removes the accent from the overhanging eyelid. It should be applied as close to the lashes as possible. You can use eyeliner or liner, but the pencil blends better. Women with narrow eyes need to be careful with eyeliner and carefully blend straight lines.

It is important that the tip of the arrow points upwards and around the crease of the eyelid. This is done to make the eye look bigger. Wide arrows and long tips will only spoil the look and make the eyes look smaller.
5. Feathering. The arrow can be smoothly shaded with shadows of a dark color. Usually the shadows slightly extend beyond the border of the fold of the movable eyelid. The border of dark shadows can be tinted with lilac shadows.
6. The eyelashes on the upper and lower eyelids are carefully painted over with ink.
