Eye contour for makeup. Mistakes when applying funds around the eyes. You can adjust the shape of the eyes in various ways, depending on the goal.

Many women and girls cannot imagine makeup without eyeliner. For eyeliner and eyebrows, cosmetic pencil is most often used. But in recent times a very convenient liquid eyeliner appeared, and pencils are gradually becoming a thing of the past. But still I want to say a few words about the good old pencil.

Its composition is similar to that of lipstick, with the only difference being that the pencil contains more hardeners with high temperature melting. The lead of such pencils consists of natural wax and contains natural oils that protect delicate skin and nourish it. In addition, the oil in the composition of the pencil provides easy sliding of the stylus on the surface of the skin. Pencils High Quality do not injure the skin and do not cause an allergic reaction even on the most sensitive skin.

Another type of contouring means - liquid eyeliner complete with a thin sharp brush - very convenient to use. Externally, liquid eyeliner looks like mascara. Only inside, instead of thick ink, there is a coloring liquid, and in the lid, instead of a brush, there is a thin brush. Liquid eyeliner, as well as contour pencils, is available in different shades so that it can be perfectly matched in color to your eyes and eyebrows.

Before I tell you about how to apply eye contour, we want to talk a little about how to do eyebrow makeup. For eyebrows, both a pencil and a liquid eyeliner are used. If you are using a pencil, the lead must be properly sharpened before use. The pencil should be soft enough to match the natural color of the eyebrows. If you want to highlight the eyebrows a little, then you should not draw a solid line along the eyebrows. Just lightly draw a pencil through individual hairs from the inside out. After that, shape the eyebrows with a special brush.

Sparse eyebrows should not be summed up with too bold a line, they will look unnatural. In order to make your eyebrows look thicker than they really are, you need to draw a wide line with a not too dark beige pencil, and then make a few light dark strokes on top of it.

If you still chose liquid eyeliner as an eyeliner, then you should know a few ground rules applying it to the eyelids.

Before using liquid eyeliner, degrease the skin on the eyelids and lightly powder it. You can do it with shadows. flesh color or powder. After dipping the liner brush into the liquid, remove excess paint from it and only after that proceed to applying the contour.

Apply liquid contour to open eye. Try not to keep your hand on the weight. Lean on her cheek. The contour line should be drawn as close to the eyelashes as possible. First, draw a line along the lower eyelid. Then lower the eyelid slightly and draw a neat line on the upper eyelid. After that, both lines should be shaded. If you want to give your look more expressiveness, then pull back the lower eyelid and draw a thin line on the inner edge of the eyelid.

Friends, hello everyone. It turns out that so many of us apply cosmetic products for the eyelids incorrectly. And this can lead to swelling, allergies and premature aging of the skin. Therefore, all girls need to know how to properly apply eye cream. This is what I will tell you today in detail.

There is an erroneous opinion among girls that a separate cosmetic product for the eyelids is just marketing. But I have more confidence in the point of view of cosmetologists on this issue. And they claim that the area around the eyes requires special care.

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate. The number of sebaceous glands in this area is minimal, so the skin is drier. Accordingly, she ages faster. Have you noticed that the first wrinkles usually appear just under the eyes?

The eyes themselves are extremely sensitive to external influences organ. Getting even a small amount of cosmetic into the eyes can cause unwanted reactions or allergies. Therefore, eyelid products are developed taking into account all the features of the eye area. It is desirable that the product be hypoallergenic and contain a minimum of fragrances, dyes and preservatives.

It is important to choose a tool according to your age category. It is necessary to start caring for the eyelid area at the same age as the face. Up to 25 years, the use of light moisturizing gels or creams is sufficient. Products that have a more active effect, fighting the signs of aging, can be used from 25-30 years.

Cream application technique

It is important to apply eye contour products correctly. By following these recommendations, you will avoid swelling of the eyelids in the morning.

Apply a few drops of cream pointwise on the upper and lower eyelids. Product on upper eyelid applied in the direction from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. And vice versa on the lower eyelid - from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. It is necessary to apply the cream along the line of the orbital bone, that is, not on the eyelid itself.
Gently spread drops of cream over the skin with light tapping movements of the finger. In this case, it is better to use the ring finger. He is less trained, and will not be as intense as the index.
Drive the remedy in the direction from the bone to the eye. That is, from top to bottom on the upper eyelid, and from bottom to top on the lower. Make sure that not a drop of the product gets into your eyes.

To better understand the basic rules, watch another short video:

There are some nuances of applying funds in the morning and at night. They are playing important role in quality care for our eyelids.

In the evening: Do not apply the cream around the eyes just before going to bed. It is optimal to do this 1-2 hours before bedtime so that the product has time to be absorbed properly. If you go to bed immediately after application, the remedy can easily flow into the eye socket along an oblique path. As they say, "the cream dripped." Indeed, when exposed to body temperature, it begins to move. Which leads to swollen eyelids and a cut in the eyes "like a Chinese."

In the morning: Do not rush to apply makeup immediately. Cosmetics can leak, smudge, and you have to wash everything off and re-make-up. Well, or walk in an unpresentable form. Therefore, it is better to apply the cream at least 10-15 minutes before makeup.

Mistakes when applying funds around the eyes

Often girls think that the cream does not suit them or causes allergies. In fact they they just don’t know how to cook it ... oh, misused 😉

The most common application mistakes cosmetics for the eyelid area:

Apply to poorly cleansed skin. All cosmetics and cleanser residues must be carefully removed from the face. Otherwise, there will be no benefit from skin care.
Applying too much product. For some reason, some believe that the more cream, the more noticeable its effect. This is not true. If you apply the product around the eyes too abundantly, the skin will breathe worse and absorb beneficial components. And if you overdo it with the cream at night, then in the morning you will have swelling under the eyes.
You should not save too much cream either. An insufficient amount of the product will not have the desired effect on the skin.
Applying the cream not along the massage lines. The skin of the eyelids is very easy to stretch and injure, as it is thin and fragile. Therefore, you need to drive the cream very carefully, trying not to rub the skin and not stretch it.
Applying the product directly on the eyelids, too close to the eyes. This can lead to the cream getting on the mucous membrane, which contributes to irritation and swelling.

How to choose cosmetic products for the skin of the eyelids

Choose products for the care of delicate skin around the eyes should be carefully. Consider skin type, age, and the specific problem you want to address. Bags under the eyes, bruising, decreased tone, wrinkles, or just dryness. Modern cosmetics is able to deal with these troubles.

Eyeliner raises a lot of questions. Should I paint the inside of the eyelid? When to use a pencil and when to use liquid eyeliner? The answers to all these questions will help you create an unforgettable image.

Different types of eyeliner

Can use eyeliner , liquid eyeliner or an eye contour brush with thick shadows. If you choose a pencil, secure it with eyeshadow or it won't last all day.

How to apply liquid eyeliner

Draw one continuous line of liquid eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. You can also draw a line from the middle to the outer corner of the eye, and then from the inner corner to the middle.

Another method of applying liquid eyeliner requires the firmness of the hand, but will allow you to "open" your eyes. Apply dots with eyeliner on the upper eyelid between the eyelashes. The result should not be a line, but the effect of very thick eyelashes. . Then apply mascara.

Basic eyeliner

it great option for work or leisure - if you want to emphasize your eyes, but do without excessive makeup. It should be easy to apply - because you want to look natural. Brown eyeliner will serve the same purpose (if you have blond hair).

Holding the upper eyelid, draw a line along the upper eyelashes from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner with a pencil or brush with dark shadows. To make the image more dramatic, make the outer edge of the line wider than the inner one, and slightly extend it beyond the eye. Another version of the line is narrow on the inside, wider in the middle and slightly raised at the outer end.

Then draw along the same line with liquid eyeliner. To keep your hand from trembling, rest your elbow on the table. (You can skip this step, but this way the makeup will last longer).

Set the eyeliner with shadows. Then bring shadows or a pencil to the lower eyelid. You can use a different color by choosing one that emphasizes the shade of the eyes. Apply a line along the lower lashes in the direction from the outer corner to the inner. Unless you have wide-set eyes, don't line your entire eyelid, stop somewhere in the middle. If you are using a pencil, blend it lightly for a more natural effect.

smoky eyes

It seems to be the most enduring makeup trend - and it never goes out of style. The main thing in this eye makeup is to shade the tones well. Also, remember that in this case the emphasis is on the eyes, and the rest of the makeup should be restrained.

Holding the skin of the upper eyelid, apply the contour in the direction from the inner corner to the outer. Paint over the lash line. The middle of the line should be slightly wider than the edges.

By using cotton swab or finger, blend the line. Use a brush to apply shadow over the line to secure it. Blend well, then apply eye shadow. It is better to choose saturated dark tones, turning into light eyelids to the crease.

dramatic eye makeup

For such an evening make-up, it is better to choose not a black, but a colored outline. It can be a liquid eyeliner or shadows that are applied with an angled brush. For this makeup, it is better not to use a pencil.

Holding the eyelid, apply eyeliner from the middle of the upper eyelid to the outer corner. Then draw a line from the inner corner to the middle and connect with the first. The line should expand towards the outer corner of the eye. If you have close-set eyes, do not bring the line to the innermost corner.

Eyes can be different in shape, size, position, color and expressiveness. Depending on the size and size, almond-shaped, slit-shaped, round, large and small eyes are distinguished. In addition, the eyes are distinguished by planting: deep-set and protruding, and also depending on the distance between the eyes: close and wide set.

In addition, there is also a difference in the location of the eye axis. The axis is a conditional straight line running through the outer and inner corners of the eye. The axis can be horizontal, in which case the corners of the eye are located in one straight line ( classic version), ascending - then the outer corner is higher than the inner (eastern version), falling - the outer corner is lower than the inner (European version). Almond-shaped eyes are considered ideal in shape, the distance between the inner corners of which is equal to the length of the eye, and the inner and outer corners are on the same straight line.

With the help of eye makeup, you can visually change their shape and size.

Used for eyeliner various colors, while it is necessary to take into account the color of the skin, hair and eyes. So, for example, people with dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes are best suited for black or dark brown eyeliner. If you have fair skin, blonde hair, blue and light gray eyes, then brown eyeliner suits you better, but not too dark.

You can adjust the shape of the eyes in various ways, depending on the goal.

* If you have round and bulging eyes, then it is best to "model" them with dark matte shadows, applying them to the outer part, thus "pulling" the eye to the temple. Shadows are not applied to the moving eyelid. Shadows are applied to the space under the eyebrow light shades. For eyelashes, use black mascara.

* As for small and deep-set eyes, they can be visually enlarged, making them more expressive. For such eyes, it is best to use light (pearl) shadows. Apply a thick layer of mascara to the eyelashes. The part under the eyebrows should be slightly darkened, softened with matte shadows.

* The greatest difficulties in women and girls cause the so-called falling eyes. When correcting such eyes, you should pay attention to the eyebrows. First you need to mark the angle of the eyebrow by removing its “tail” looking down with tweezers, and then draw the missing edge with a cosmetic pencil. But only now direct it upwards, making the eyebrows "spread". Next, along the upper edge of the eyelids, you need to draw a contour from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. The contour should begin barely noticeable, and end with a bold, intense line 1-2 mm thick. So you visually raise the lowered outer corners of the eyes. For eyelashes, use thick black mascara.

"Dangling" corners of the eyes can be corrected with the help of shadows. It is better to refuse a pencil or liquid eyeliner. Do not let your eyes down, especially the lower eyelid. This will only emphasize the hanging of the outer corners. Take the shadows dark shades and apply them to the outer corners of the eyes, then carefully blend them towards the temples, i.e. up. This will create the feeling that the corners of the eyes are raised up.

When correcting one or another eye shape with makeup, remember that dark-colored eyeshadows visually reduce the eyes, making them more deeply planted. But light eye shadow, on the contrary, enlarges the eyes, visually “opens” them. Most often, women and girls want to achieve the effect of large, expressive eyes. Then you should choose shades of light shades for this purpose. But, of course, do not forget that the color scheme should match your type of appearance.

To give the look softness and dreaminess, apply shadows over the eyeliner. If you want to add drama to your image, then the contour is best done on top of the shadows.

Some ladies have eyelashes looking down, in which case they should be curled with tweezers.

Curled eyelashes also “open” the eyes, visually increasing their size. If by nature you have straight eyelashes, then use tweezers to curl them. Applying mascara completes the eye makeup. To give additional volume to the eyelashes, use thick mascara with the effect of "fluffy eyelashes".

And remember one rule: if you want your eyes to look big and expressive, never let them down on the inner edge!!!

Correct your face with makeup, but most importantly - do not forget that in any business you need to follow the measure.

- If you are using an eyebrow pencil, then choose it so that the color of the pencil exactly matches the color of the eyebrows. This is convenient for painting on sparse or too short eyebrows. When you draw the eyebrows, the hairs need to be drawn in the direction in which they grow.

- When using liquid eyeliner, keep a pencil in your makeup bag anyway. On the lower eyelid, it is better to draw a line with a pencil, it is softer and easier to shade.

- If it is difficult to draw a thin, even and neat line on the upper eyelid, you can resort to a little trick: just put dots between the eyelashes with a sharpened pencil.

- If you need to visually enlarge the eyes, then use a pencil in white, light gray or flesh-colored. Tint the lower eyelid with it from the inside, and then the eye will visually increase.

- And on the contrary, a dark-colored pencil on the lower eyelid visually reduces the eye.

- To give expressiveness to the eyes, use gray or brown pencil. Lightly moisten the eyelid and draw a neat line along the inner edge. On the upper eyelid, the line can be shaded with shadows of the same color as the pencil.

- To achieve more natural makeup, use a pencil instead of shadows. The line drawn with a pencil can be slightly shaded.

- For achievement best effect the contour line on the lower eyelid should not be drawn to the inner corner of the eye. As for the outer corner, here, on the contrary, you should circle the eye completely.

- The contour line should follow the shape of the eye. If you have a rounded shape of the eyes, then it is better to draw a line just above the outer corner. And if the corners of the eyes are slightly lowered, then the line should be raised up. With eyes set too close, you need to start the line from the middle of the eye. Here the contour line should be as thin as possible, and then expand.

- The eye contour should be done with a sharpened contour pencil or liquid eyeliner liner. If you are not sure about your hand, then it is better to use a pencil.

- Liquid liner is convenient because the contour line is clearer and does not fade during the day. You need to confidently draw such a line with a liquid liner, drawing one solid line.

- The line is drawn from the inner corner of the eye to the outer, trying to bring it as close as possible to the roots of the eyelashes.

- Another secret to the beauty of your eyes: if the line is made a little thicker in the center, then it will visually enlarge the eye.

- In addition, there is such a rule: the outer corner of the eye should be on the same level with the inner one or a little higher. If you do not follow this rule, then your look may turn out to be severe.
