Eyeliner Tutorial and Tips !

We all know that there are different techniques for putting on eyeliner, some are hard, some are easier, but they all have a very unique and outstanding effect!

In the picture below you see one of the rather easier ways to outline your upped eyelid. You just have to draw the two lines, before filling the empty space between our line and the end of your eyelid. 

 

Personally, when I do my make-up I always have at least one cotton bud by my side, in case I mess up or make the one eye line longer or shorter than the other one. You should use them, too! It is easier and you just have to coat it in water before you try to erase the traces of your mistake.

In the end you fill the uncolored space and you have officially acquired a cat-eye look!

7 Makeup Tips That Nobody Told You About PART 5 !

1- Clump-Free Lashes

It may seem like a waste, but if you want clump-free lashes (so hard to achieve, right?!) , you have to wipe your mascara wand off on a tissue before each application. This way you can apply several coats seamlessly.

2- Blemish Secret

Instead of using that bulky tube of concealer to cover your blemishes, rub a bit of it on an eyeliner brush for more precise control.

3- Soften The Line

Although I like liquid liner and it’s ability to really define the eyes, I’m not really a fan of the harshness of it. And, if it’s not applied perfectly, imperfections really stand out. To soften the look, sweep a metallic brown shadow over the liner. This not only diminishes the hard-line, but also helps hide imperfections.

4- Make It Last

Keep those lips kissable by sealing the deal. After your lipstick is applied, hold a tissue over your lips and apply powder over the tissue. This creates a matte look that lasts much longer.

5- False Eyelash 101

If you’ve ever attempted this beauty-aid, you know that it can be quite trying! But, false eye lashes can bring your look from drab to fab in just a few patient minutes, and is definitely worth the time for special occasions. The key is knowing how to apply them from the get-go, otherwise your frustration will prevail.

6- The 3-D Lip Effect

So simple and stunning! Use your finger to stamp a little bit of frosted blush or eye shadow to the center of your bottom and top lip.

7- When To Toss It Out

As much money as we spend on our beauty products, it’s hard to let it go, but at some point your makeup becomes unhealthy for your skin and eyes. This is especially true for anything that gets applied around your eyes, so it’s important to give your makeup drawer a good clean out every once in a while.

Make sure u try them =) 

10 Makeup Tips That Nobody Told You About PART 4 !

1. Business Card Trick

When applying mascara, hold a business card behind your lashes and apply it in a back and forth motion starting at the roots. You can really put it on this way, coating every lash fast!

2. Secret Eye Lift

Sweep a light pink matte pencil across the entire length of your brow bone to create the illusion of a higher arch, and then blend, blend, blend! It should not be detectable.

 

3. Proper Contouring

When applied right, contouring can define your cheekbones and jaw line, reduce the look of a double chin, minimize a larger nose, and lift sagging eyes. It’s basically using makeup to highlight and accentuate your features. This is especially important for photos, as the camera tends to pick up shadows and highlights better than the naked eye.

There are actual contouring and highlighting powders made just for this, but you can also use a bronzer or powder that is a few shades darker than your skin, and a foundation that is a few shades lighter for highlighting. For the most part, your t-zone and under eye area is where you want to highlight, and the outer portion of your face, underneath your cheekbones, and your neck is where you want to define with a darker color. Keep in mind, blending is key for a natural look! This may take some practice at first.

  

4. The Line Saver

I’m always checking my eye makeup in the case that my eyeliner isn’t in it’s original place. Certain eyeliners are more prone to this, especially those that aren’t water proof, but I don’t like using waterproof makeup because it’s so darn hard to get off! I always feel like I’m ripping my lashes off in the removal process. To keep your liner behaving, sweep loose or pressed powder right under the eye liner on your bottom lid. It creates somewhat of a barrier, preventing your eyeliner from traveling downward.

5. The Lip Cheat

As it turns out, we weren’t all blessed with Angelina Jolie’s lush lips. Now, there are a few tricks to making them appear larger (a glossy lip being one), but for a more dramatic effect, don’t be afraid to line your lips just outside of your natural line. When I say just outside of your natural line, I mean slightly. You don’t want to look like a clown by over doing it!

 

6. Downward Strokes

Although you want to wash your face and apply your moisturizer with upwards strokes to help lessen fine lines and a sagging face, the opposite is true for foundation and powder. Most of us have a little bit of hair on our face, and it tends to grow downwards. If you apply your makeup with upward strokes, it will cause your “peach fuzz” to stick strait up, making it more noticeable.

 

7. Eyebrows & Face Shape

A lot of us ignore our eyebrows (or have over plucked them into non-existence) not realizing how important they are in defining our face. There isn’t one shape that is the best, it really just depends on your unique facial features and shape. Just like contouring, your eyebrow shape and thickness can help soften your face shape.

 

8. DIY Tinted Moisturizer

This works just as well as a B&B cream, hiding imperfections with a really natural look; simply mix your favorite facial moisturizer with a little bit of concealer. This way you can customize it with just the right amount of coverage.

 

9. Instant Eye Lift

This quick and easy illusion will give you an instant eye life. Draw an arch directly above your eyebrow with your favorite highlighter, and blend with your finger. This makes your arch look raised, making the whole eye area look like it’s been lifted.

10. Wash & Save Your Wands

Instead of tossing them in the trash when your mascara expires, wash and repurpose those wands! You can use them as an eyebrow brush, even applying a bit of color before sweeping across your brows. Or, spray with hairspray and use them to brush and keep your eyebrows in place.

How to perfect the winged eye look

 How to rightly work the winged eye look for a party, minimal makeup, glossy lips

With retro being the theme of the hour, there are several makeup trends from the golden era of 60s' and 70s' that are coming back. And one such makeup trend is the winged eye look. Creating a winged eye look is not a rocket science and one can easily get that look in a few simple steps.

1. Firstly take a tinted moisturizer and apply it all over your face in a circular motion. Blend it all over your face and neck to get an even skin tone.

2. Next use a concealer to cover your under eye dark circles and blemishes. Apply a bit of concealer with your ring finer in circular motion. Apply a bit of translucent powder after that all over your face and neck.

3. Next step is to create a base on your eyes. Take a light brown or a bronze coloured eye shadow and with a brush apply just a thin layer of the same on the upper lids of your eyes.

4. Now use your eye liner and start lining your eyes from the inner corner of your eyes and gradually move outwards in an upward position. For a thicker eye liner use short strokes from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye. Once you are done with it, use a kohl pencil or a kajal and fill in your lower lash line with it. You can even use a white eye liner at the inner corner of your eyes to give a more dramatic effect. The use of white opens up your eyes giving them more life and making them look bigger.

5. Now use a voluminous mascara in a wiggling motion, as it will open up your eyes instantly.

6. For finishing touches wear a thin layer of peach coloured blush on. For your lips you can either go for a light peach coloured or a nude shaded lip gloss.

Make sure that you keep your makeup minimal and let your eyes do the talking.
