Hack #10. Correcting errors
To remove mascara from your skin if you accidentally touch your eyelids, use micellar water. Soak the tip of a cotton swab in the product and the excess lines will easily be erased.
At first glance, it seems that following these life hacks is quite difficult. And the hand is already reaching for the phone in order to find where they make “extended” eyelashes. But don’t rush, because this procedure has its pitfalls. And for some women, it is much easier to develop the habit of using simple life hacks than to wear artificial hairs on your eyelashes.
Daytime eye makeup for every day: step-by-step instructions
To perform daytime makeup for eyes of any color (gray-blue, brown, green, etc.), you need to use only natural shades. You should prepare:
- shadows of natural shades;
- black eyeliner;
- Mascara;
- foundation (base);
- highlighter;
- concealer;
- brushes for applying makeup.
Natural makeup implies a healthy and natural skin color.
You need to choose the right concealer and foundation. They should have a light texture, such as CC cream or BB cream. To give your skin a natural glow, you can use a highlighter with finely ground mother-of-pearl.
As for the eyebrows, we either leave them natural or give them their usual shape. The main rule is not to use too much color.
Step-by-step instructions for daytime eye makeup with photos:
1. Draw an arrow towards the outer corner of the eye from the pupil, using dark brown shadows. The lines should go to the temple, this way you can correct the shape of the eyes.
2. Using a flat brush, shade the arrow. This must be done in the direction of the beginning of the eyebrow. Moving along the upper eyelid, the brush seems to rest completely on it.
3. Using the same dark brown shadows, we draw the lower eyelid, connecting the end with the drawn and shaded arrow. The shape of the petal should be correct, that is, the artificial corner will be slightly higher than the natural one.
4. Taking a little mascara on the brush, you need to slightly shade the upper border of the part of the eyelid that is motionless.
5. Next, you need to smooth out the transition of colors, for which a lighter shade is applied to the dark brown shadows.
6. Create a haze using a fluffy brush.
7. Next, apply neutral beige shadows to the upper eyelid, but not reaching the inner corner of the eye.
8. Using light shades of beige shadow, paint the area under the eyebrow, as well as the inner corner.
9. Shade, mixing in the process with the shade applied before.
10. Starting from the pupil, draw a thin arrow along the eyelash growth line.
11. The tail should come out from the outer corner and move towards the temple. This way the correct direction is set.
12. We make the arrow a little thicker, but without forgetting about naturalness.
13. Let's move on to the eyelashes and paint them.
14. We apply blush using only natural shades, and also add natural shine using a highlighter.
How to do daytime eye makeup
An emphasis on the lips or eyes will help make daytime makeup more impressive. If you highlight both, the face will look rough. As a rule, many representatives of the fair sex choose the upper part of the face.
To get beautiful daytime eye makeup, you should follow a certain algorithm of actions:
1. Apply eye shadow.
For daytime makeup, you should choose natural shades (brown, beige, gray and peach), but you should take into account the color of your eyes.
In this case, the application of shadows must be correct, that is, you should start with light shades at the inner corner of the eye, gradually moving to darker ones at the outer corner. Do not forget about careful shading, since sharp color transitions look completely unaesthetic.
2. Use a pencil or eyeliner.
When creating daytime makeup, you should not refuse to use eyeliner or pencil in order to emphasize the expressiveness of your eyes. However, one rule must be taken into account - you cannot make wide arrows. For girls with dark hair, it is better to use black eyeliner, and for girls with light hair, brown eyeliner.
3. The final touch - paint the eyelashes with mascara.
Mascara should be used carefully and applied as little as possible, this will allow you to maintain naturalness.
Tips to help you do your daytime makeup correctly
- To avoid having to apply concealer several times, you can use a plastic disposable spoon, which is placed under the lower eyelashes, after which you begin to color them. Thanks to this, excess mascara will remain on it, and not under the lower eyelid, as often happens.
- If you need to make your eyes more spectacular and expressive, but at the same time maintain a natural look, you can use a highlighter. To do this, it is applied under the eyebrow, on the protruding part, in the inner corners of the eyes, and also in the middle of the moving eyelid a small “highlight” is placed.
- According to the recommendations of professionals, you should not apply eyeliner or draw arrows while looking straight ahead. It is best to get as close to the mirror as possible and lift your chin while applying makeup.
- To make the shadows appear brighter, before applying them, you need to paint over the moving part of the eyelid with a white pencil.
- Professionals offer another trick to visually lengthen your eyelashes. A curler and a “double twist” technique will come to the rescue. This is done as follows: taking the device perpendicular to the floor, squeeze it at the base of the eyelashes, then, turning it 90°, do a similar action.
- When choosing a foundation, you need to check whether the shade suits you on your neck, not on your cheeks or wrist. This rule is especially relevant in the summer, since the face tans faster than the neck.
- As you know, eyeliner does not like heat and often begins to flow. To prevent this from happening, you should choose waterproof cosmetics. If this is not possible, powder will come to the rescue; you need to treat the area under the eyes with it. This way, the eyeliner will stay in place much longer.
- In order not to stretch the skin, it is necessary to wash off makeup in the direction from the chin to the forehead, and apply powder or foundation in the opposite direction. Some may not notice, but there is a small “fuzz” on the face, which will immediately appear if you run a brush with foundation over the skin against hair growth.
- To avoid getting lumps on your eyelashes after applying mascara, before painting your eyes, you need to run the brush over a dry cloth, thus removing excess paint.
- In order to hide the imperfections that formed when applying the arrows, for example, they turned out not so clear, you can go over the top with a silver or golden pencil with a slight shimmer. In addition, it will help create a softer look.
- You can make your lips voluminous in the following way: apply a light shade of satin shadow or a small amount of blush with shimmer in the middle of the lower part and blend with your fingers.
