Monday, June 13, 2016
Traditionally women in all eras have been known for using
kohl inside and around their eyes to create the impression of “bigger eyes”
that gave them a more sophisticated look.But in today’s modern era of fashion
where the cosmetic and beauty giants have emerged with a variety of flattering
products that are available in almostevery shade under the sun, a variety of
smoldering eye makeup looks have created by using eyeliner
stencils.
Like a classic diamond ring, a smokey eye makeup is a
timeless staple. Many women find it difficult to create it but given the right
tools, products and some practice you can perfect a smoky eye in no time. For
an evening party, a plum smoky eye is a perfect option as
it compliments Asian skin tones and black/brown eyes.
~ Step 1 ~
Once
you have achieved a clean canvas with neatly shaped and tinted eyebrows, you
will apply an eye primer over and below the lid as it helps make the shadows
stay put and stops the smearing and creasing which can ruin your look.
~ Step 2 ~
Take
a sticky note or a piece of tape and place it from the outer edge of your eye
going towards the end of your brow which will help you create the perfect winged look. Now
apply a base purple color (lightest of the three shades of purple) all over
your lids with the help of an eye shadow brush.
~ Step 3 ~
Take
a crease brush and apply a medium shade of purple in your crease in a C shape
to create depth. Use an angled brush to use the same shade across your lower
lash line. Take a clean blending brush and blend the two shades together to get
rid of any harsh lines.
~ Step 4 ~
Now
take a clean brush and sweep the darkest of the purple color from the outer
edge of the eye to the outer portion of your crease, this step will add in the
smokiness. In order to create more drama you can use a creamy black kohl pencil
and use it in your upper and lower waterline. Add a thin layer of kohl on your
upper lash line and with the help of a clean smudge brush spread the black
color towards the outer edge of the eye to lock in a more
dramatic look.
~ Step 5 ~
Take
off the sticky notes and with the help of a clean blending brush blend out any
harsh lines and smudge the colors together for a tidier look. (Tip: use a
concealer to wipe out any mess you might have created below the eyes)
~ Step 6 ~
\Take
a lighter shade and sweep it on your brow bone and in the inner corners of your
eyes to make your eyes pop and give you a more wide awake look
~ Step 7 ~
Curl
your eye lashes and apply a thin layer of liquid eyeliner for a sharp look.
~ Step 8 ~
Use
a generous amount of mascara on the upper and lower lashes for voluminous
lashes.
