i love makeup; I love discovering new products and creating endless looks. But apart from the occasions, where I'm either doing makeup on someone else or I'm in the mood, to try something new, i am very impatient and prefer it, To be practical and focus on results with minimal effort.
And let's be honest, not all of us have the time, to create masterpieces on a daily basis, With striking blue eyes with a little less room for play, that we affect the bottom line. Also, just to prove a point, that you don't really need 50 million eyeshadows, countless number of products or hours, to create different looks, I've decided, to do this 1 items 5 sees post. So, here we go:
Everything, what i for them 5 looks above was used, was an eye pencil, a basic black from MAC called Smoulder. I did some of the smudging and blending with Sigma E30 brush brush – can you do it here; but the rest was done with some careful application and the help of Q-tips and makeup remover to clean up any mess. I pulled it back to the most important things, allowing you to play with the look to your liking, making them more intense, more subtle, change the color of the pens and add as much or little mascara and even falsies if you like.
Smeared LINE
This is the effortless, but effective look, especially for the day. Smearing the lining at the base of the lashes will define the eyes, but also the base of the lashes look much fuller.
Draw a line, as close to the base of the lashes as possible and smudge either with a pencil brush, Sponge applicator or Q-tip. You can intensify this look with lots of mascara or even falsies as well by lining the inner rims of your eyes.
Smeared CAT EYE
If you want, to your eyes give us a lift, but still want, to keep the look too soft, this is the perfect method for you.
Draw a line as close to the lash line as possible and flick the outer end into the back end of the forehead. Line the inner rim of the eyes with a black eyeliner, Blur the line starting halfway at the pupil of the eye toward the end of the flick. The trick is, keep the color darker along the base of the lash line and blend it upwards, until it fades into the skin. You can build the intensity of the color by reapplying the pencil and blending.
CLASSIC CAT EYE
Paired up with a red lip, can you use the “chic-Factor” can't beat a classic cat's eye.
Draw a sharp one, medium line along your lash line and flicked the end into the back end of your eyebrows. You can change the angle, Alter the thickness and length of the strips depending on your preferred intensity.
A classic cat eye like this looks even prettier with lots of mascara and even false lashes flaring towards the end of the eyes, to compliment the film.
EGYPTIAN EYE
Traditionally I would use a gel or liquid liner for such an intense look but again, for the purpose of this exercise, I just wanted to, to show you, that you can definitely achieve, this look with a pencil liner. I would like a long lasting, Recommend color liner, so the line doesn't smear or shift.
Draw the same line as you would the classic cat's eye, but this time extend a film towards the inner corner of the eye too. When you get the thickness and shape you want, come with the two flicks with a thick line along the lower lash line.
Smokey Eyes
Possibly the easiest way, to do a smokey eye, to cover the entire eyelid with an eye pencil or chubby pencil and blend it out. Again, a color formula would be most appropriate, to ensure the color doesn't smear or shift too much.
You can check out my Smokey Eyes Tutorial here, to see, how i blend the eyeliner into a perfect smoke. The trick is, to keep the intensity of the color closer to the lash line into your own skin tone and blend it out, so it transitions smoothly. Along the lower lash line and smudge it in the same way, as well as lining the inner rim of the eyes will bring this look together perfectly!
As you can see, We don't always know the most expensive or extensive range of makeup products, to get different looks. Makeup is the art, it's fun and versatile, and it will go so far, like your imagination;)
