The
feature focus in this issue of EYEART - fashion, form,
balance and structure.
The following techniques
are simple and easy to use, and are adaptable to suit your needs
– each eye look can be made dark or light, as long as you feel
comfortable w/ the total look!
MODEL A
This look relates
to a question from Rena from flash.net who wanted makeup tips for
smaller eyes.
Description:
small eyes, heavy contour, small lid area
Focus on keeping the
eye open – too much eye makeup, or colours that are too dark,
will close the eye, making it look smaller
- Be aware of dragging
the eye shape downwards by keeping product placement above a 45
degree angle @ the outer corner of your eye
To recreate this
look:
Deepen socket line w/ darker brown shadow- Line outer corner
of top lid w/ dark brown eyeliner – smudge away to nothing
beyond the centre of the eye
- Soften contour
w/ mushroom shadow (a slight shimmer will open the eye further)
- Lt ochre shadow
placed on the inner corner of the eye as a highlight will make
eye look larger
- Line lower rim
w/ dark brown liner on outer edge – smudge softly toward
inner corner
- Cream shadow highlights
the brow bone
- To give added depth
and shape, use a pink based mid-brown shadow on the outer corner
of the eye
- Lt ochre frames
the lower rim colours, blended softly it will not close the eye
down
- Lots of mascara
on the top lashes (clump free!)
- Deepen the brow
to a dark blonde to define – go slightly above the brow to
create more space
MODEL B
 Description:
heavy lid, slight drooping outer corner
- Be aware of dragging
the eye shape downwards by keeping product placement above a 45
degree angle @ the outer corner of your eye
- This type of eye
lid may have a tendency to look puffy if highlighted w/ pale,
frosty colours
To recreate this
look:
- Softly line outer
half of top lid w/ liquid liner – blend into brown eyeliner
right into inner corner of eye
- Use a strong deep
brown shadow in the outer ½ of contour (above the eyelid) and
sweep onto outer lid, keeping the angle going upward and outward
- Line lower inner
rim w/ soft black pencil, smudge brown shadow underneath to softly
frame the eye
- Creamy pink is
used to highlight the browbone
- Strengthen brow
– esp. along the top to balance the look and create extra
‘eye-lift’
MODEL C
Crystal from sprynet.com
requested "to see makeup tips for people who do not have almond
shaped eyes"
 Description:
small eyes w/ very little / no contour or lid
- Really work the
shape you want to achieve as your end result – blending and
softening the edges and colours to give the illusion of depth
and structure
To recreate this
look
- Extend black eyeliner
on top lid using a slightly raised angle to create elongated shape
- Deep shimmery rust
shadow softens the eyeliner, and is blended upwards and outwards
to give the illusion of a contour
- Dark brown liner
on the lower rim will frame the eye, blended into the deep rust
to give added depth
- Soft gold brushed
lightly all around the edges of the deeper colours will highlight
and open eyes
- Curl lashes and
add loads of mascara on the top and underneath of the upper lashes
- Brow shape is essential
to finish this look – not only will it frame your eye, is
adds structure, and is the quickest / easiest way to change any
look (if your brows grow downward then shape them and trim the
ends so they hold their shape – be careful not to take too
much off or you will end up w/ little gaps…..)
