Eyes
are an area where you can really have fun and be quite creative. Unlike
the lips, which can be altered only slightly in shape before they start
to look awkward, the eyes have no real set limitations. Each shape you
create, whether with shadows, pencils, or liner, can take you into
completely different realms. From "smoky" to "defining," subtle to
high-drama, depending on the face you chose, the eye area is integral
for a successful look.
To create the "alluring" eyeshadow shape shown on Julia Roberts to the right, you'll need the following tools and products:
concealer and face powder
powder and sponge
black eyeliner pencil
neutral beige powder eyeshadow
sponge tip applicator
eyeshadow brush
eyelash curler and black mascara
apricot blush and blush brush
neutral lip color and lip brush
If possible, you should remove contact lenses before working on the eye area and put them back in when you're done.
Use concealer sparingly, followed by loose powder applied with a powder
sponge (not velour). (Optional: leave a little powder under the eye, to
catch falling shadow.)
Apply black eyeliner pencil to upper and lower inner eye area. Smudge pencil gently into the lashes.
Using either a sponge-type applicator or shadow brush (your choice), blend pencil into smoky circle around eye.
First,
using the eyeshadow applicator, softly retrace penciled area (from
lashes outward) with black eyeshadow. The idea is to smoke up the area.
Remember to use as little as possible to get the best results.
Next,
using the eyeshadow brush, arc into the crease of the eyelid, under and
softly outward from the corner. (Concentrate the shadow on the outer
half of the eye.)
Use beige powder eyeshadow to highlight browbone and eyelid. (You can
even sweep a little bit slightly down the side of the nose and under
the eye.)
Curl the lashes and apply black mascara.
Finally, fill in the mouth (using a lip brush) with neutral lip color
(in Julia's case, for this photo, no lip pencil outline was necessary),
and dust the cheeks with apricot blush.
Julia's brows were bleached. (This is always optional, but see how it,
with the pale mouth, softens and affects the overall balance of the
face. |
