Deep-set eyes are not considered something terrible in female beauty. On the contrary, many female representatives have proved the opposite. Today, thanks to the art of makeup, you can not only emphasize the natural beauty, but also adjust some aspects of appearance.
Successful makeup is not only the prerogative of a professional; at home, you can also achieve a salon effect. It is enough to know a few basic rules of self-makeup. However, in order to achieve the desired level of skill, you will have to learn the basics and, of course, practice the knowledge gained in everyday life. In the continuation of the article we will talk about makeup for deep-set eyes.
Palette
The main thing for performing the correct makeup of deep-set eyes is the use of three light shades, which vary depending on the color type of appearance and eye color. You can add dark tones, but carefully. A correctly selected gamut should reflect the essence of makeup - it can be daytime or holiday (evening) makeup for deep-set eyes, which should correspond to the purpose, wardrobe, desired image and, of course, be suitable for facial features. Makeup artists recommend avoiding shades of bright pink, as they make the look painful and tired.
The nuances and selection of makeup for deep-set eyes in accordance with the color type
Girls with the “winter” color type are distinguished by fairly fair skin and dark brown hair. Smoky makeup technique for deep-set eyes, made in neutral colors, is suitable for this type. Makeup artists say in this case about lipstick or nude or saturated shades. They also recommend abandoning the use of blush, as they will visually “forgive” the face of such a chic type.
Girls with the spring color type are usually characterized by a honey skin tone and a warm blond. "Spring" is perfect makeup for deep-set eyes in blue, light green, gray, hazel, peach shades. You can use pastel colors, but makeup artists recommend choosing more pearlescent shades, as they help to “open” the girl’s eyes. It is better to frame lips with gloss or lipstick of a pale coral or natural color. Girls with delicate facial features will definitely look better through the use of red lipstick, but you should refrain from applying blush and pink shades on your lips.
Girls with the “summer” color type differ from the “spring” in the predominance of cold shades: eyes are blue or gray, hair is ash-brown. Smoky makeup for deep-set gray eyes, for example, requires “airy” light shadows. Otherwise, the look will be slightly heavy. The most important thing here is to focus on the lips, and correct the eyes with makeup for deep-set eyes (the photo can be seen in the article).
Girls with the fall color type are distinguished by a bronze skin tone and red or red hair of various shades. Such an appearance requires a warm palette of shadows, which will eliminate the reddish shade. If a girl wants to look exquisite, she should resort to the makeup technique for deep-set eyes in shades of khaki, orange and caramel. Lips should be emphasized with beige, brown and orange tones, and cheekbones with a peach tint. The use of smoky makeup is not recommended for the autumn type of appearance.
Deep-set eye makeup step by step
In addition to the correctly selected palette of shades, it is worth paying attention to the technical side of makeup. Specialists in the field of makeup have developed a whole range of activities designed for such cases. Next, read the article on how to do step-by-step makeup for deep-set eyes (photo of examples can be seen in the text).
Initially, the process begins with the application of a base with a soft brush, which smoothes the eyelid region, prolongs the resistance of shadows and enhances their color.
We apply the main shade of shadows, which visually should increase the eye of its owner. For this purpose, ivory, beige, white mother of pearl and other delicate shades in your palette are suitable. Apply the shadow should be on the entire eyelid from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer.
Next, apply a second shade with greater saturation, starting to lead with a brush from the center of the moving eyelid to the outer edge. It is worth remembering during makeup that the line between the two shades should be erased due to proper shading.
The third tone (the darkest) is applied along the cilia growth line. Using a brush from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner of the eye, a light smear should be made. In the same way, a small amount of eye shadow is applied to the lower eyelid.
Using a gray or brown soft pencil, you can emphasize the outer part of the eye. Lines should be made as thin as possible. If you do day makeup for deep-set eyes (photo in the article), it is worth letting your eyes down before applying shadows. This will allow the eyes to have a more natural look. After applying the shadows, you can select only the outer corner. The lower eyelid should be let down, starting from the middle and smoothly connecting with the upper line. Makeup artists do not recommend using liquid eyeliner in makeup for small deep-set eyes.
If you powder your eyelashes with translucent powder, they will look much more magnificent in combination with mascara. To make the eyes most expressive, and thicker cilia, it is better to give preference to a creamy mascara in black. Do not overdo it with the painting of lower eyelashes, but they can not be ignored, otherwise makeup for deep and close-set eyes will look inharmonious.
The shape of the eyebrows should be corrected with a pencil, while applying bright shadows under the eyebrow is optional, because girls with deep-set eyes are already distinguished by a pronounced area above the eye.
Thanks to the use of special tweezers, you can bend the upper eyelashes in the direction of the outer corner of the eye. Using shine or lipstick in accordance with the color type of appearance, you can give makeup a complete image.
Nude Shades Palette
How to make deep-set eye makeup as natural as possible? It is enough to perform it in a range of natural shades. Such makeup can be both daytime or evening, because the difference here is determined only by the intensity of application. Next, we consider step-by-step makeup for deep-set eyes (a photo example can be seen in the article).
Initially, it is worth deciding on the choice of tones in accordance with the color type of a particular girl and the structure of her face. Brunettes will look good with matte body and cream shades, blondes - with light warm or cold shades in accordance with the color of the eyes. Although most of all this type of makeup will flatter the appearance of the brown-haired woman - the overall color scheme will perfectly harmonize with the selected palette, giving the eyes a fire and incredible charm.
Eye-correcting makeup is done only after the girl's complexion is covered with a suitable tone, and the shape of the eyebrows will take the desired shape in accordance with facial features.
Using a brown or dark gray pencil, you first need to emphasize the upper line of the eyelashes, starting from the middle of the eyelid and ending with the outer corner of the eye. It is worth noting that the eyeliner should be on the same level with eyelashes, but not higher. Highlighting the lower eyelid is possible due to the accurate point-wise application of eyeliner at the base of each eyelash and in the area between them.
Emphasize the eyelid should be the shadows of the base tone, which must be carefully shaded. The inner corner of the eye is covered with a lighter shade of a matte pencil or shadows. The outer corner can be darkened by using shadows a couple of tones deeper than the main shade. The upper eyelashes are covered with a thick layer of mascara and then combed. Lips should be highlighted with a tinted or transparent gloss. In this makeup, lipstick and blush will be out of place.
Smokey Eyes corrective makeup
Smoky makeup for deep-set eyes has its own twist: the technique of execution does not tolerate summing up the lower eyelid, and the classic version with black shadows undergoes serious modifications.
Before performing makeup, you need to even out the complexion and powder the upper eyelids. Next, you need to draw the upper line of the eyelashes using shadows or a cosmetic pencil, while making sure that the contour is lifted and thickened, approaching the temples. The lower eyelashes should only be slightly emphasized from the middle of the century, smoothly connecting with the upper line. Shading is mandatory in this make-up, as the pronounced boundaries contradict the Smokey Ice rules.
Choosing shadows is based on the identity of the shades with the color of the pencil, as this creates the effect of a smooth transition. You need to start from the outer corner: with a thick layer, apply the deepest tone to the upper eyelid. Thanks to this, you can notice how the arc of the eye cavity stands out and the contour is determined. The technique of some makeup artists includes the following sequence: first, an intermediate tone is applied to the middle of the upper eyelid, then a dark shade is applied on the border of the eyelash growth and under the crease, and in the end, everything is well shaded.
After applying shadows, eyes with this feature of location can also be let down. Makeup in the style of “Smokey Ice” suggests the presence of thick, brightly colored eyebrows, under which you need to apply a small number of shadows of a lighter shade. This makeup includes a whole assembly of lipsticks, lip glosses in neutral tones and the use of light blush.
The drooping eyelid - the scourge of a modern beauty
Even such an annoying appearance problem can be successfully masked. Makeup of deep-set eyes with an impending eyelid is distinguished by a rather complex technique of execution, as it sets itself two full-fledged tasks: to hide an obvious flaw and make the look most expressive.
To fulfill it, you need three shades of shadow, of which the lightest must be applied to the upper eyelid and under the eyebrow line. It is worth noting that when doing makeup on deep-set eyes with an impending eyelid, it is necessary to divert attention from the problem area due to the surprisingly raised shape to the extent of a thick eyebrow. Glare helps highlight the base of the eyebrow and the outer tip.
Toward the outer corner from the middle of the mobile eyelid, a second, deeper tone is then applied. Using a soft brush, you must carefully blend the transition between the shades. The darkest layer of shadows is superimposed on the brow zone with a gradual expansion to the outer corner of the eye. The same shade should be used to summarize the lower eyelid, while you need to approach the outer corner of the eye, gradually nullifying the eyeliner line.
Next, you must again carefully shade everything and draw with a pencil the arrows going upward at a significant angle. The upper row of cilia needs to be painted in several layers, and the lower ones should be emphasized with mascara only once. Such an eye structure requires an accent on the lips using bright lipstick or tinted gloss.
We select a palette depending on the color of the eyes
When choosing shadows, it is worth considering one important nuance - the color of the iris. Otherwise, the implementation of makeup, even if all the rules of application are preserved, can bring complete disappointment for a girl with an unusual eyeball structure. For example, the combination of brown eyes and a silver shade is not always successful. Blue eyes flatly refuse to resonate with a yellowish or pale orange.
To avoid disappointment, you should be guided by a simple rule: brown, amber and green eyes are mostly combined with warm colors. Blue, gray, gray-green is better to combine with shadows of a cold color. If a girl has deep-set brown eyes, she should give preference to the shades of bronze, marsh, peach, creamy, purple. Adhering to such recommendations, you can make a win-win make-up option for deep-set brown eyes. Let's dwell on it in more detail.
Application Technique for Brown Eyes
In order to perform this makeup, you must adhere to the rule of three shades: to make the image seem not very overloaded, you need to use layers of maximum, medium and low intensity. To make the face most organically fit into standard makeup for deep-set eyes, you need to use a light shade as a base tone, for example, peach.
First, draw a thin line along the upper eyelid using a cosmetic pencil or eyeliner. Chocolate, brown, saturated gray shades will perfectly cope with this task.
Next, use the brush to apply the base shadows. We start from the inner corners of the eyes and then confidently move up. This method will allow you to make a pencil or eyeliner almost invisible, looking softer.
The expressiveness and brightness of the eyes will provide mascara, which allows the eyelashes to find the desired density and volume. Performing this makeup, we paint only the top line of the eyelashes, without affecting the bottom. Alternatively, you can draw a thin line with dark shadows under the line of the lower eyelashes. Without any embellishment, this makeup will make any woman simply irresistible.
Deep-set green eyes: subtleties of execution
Makeup for deep-set green eyes is done with shades of a light shade: sand, beige, orange, purple, chocolate, olive, etc.
If a girl has marsh eyes, the shades of green with a gentle shade will look spectacular on her. Thanks to this combination, the eyelids look bright, and the eyes are as bright and expressive as possible.
Such a make-up will be harmonious with smooth, narrow eyebrows. It is better to avoid sharp bends here: the very case when a simple tweezers help out. If a girl decides to leave massive eyebrows, they will seem to hang over her eyes. Therefore, when plucking, you should get rid of the lower layer of hairs - this will allow you to raise your eyebrows and pay attention to your eyes.
To make the eye seem wide open, add a small touch under the lower edge of the eyebrow in contrasting shadows.
Further, the entire upper eyelid is covered with shadows, and the lower one is only slightly tinted. Using a pencil, a smooth line is drawn to the outer edge from the middle of the moving eyelid. Further, it must be carefully shaded. Using special forceps, you can give your eyelashes maximum bend. With the help of thick mascara in two layers of the eye it gains radiance, and the look - clarity and expressiveness.
Blue deep-set eyes: nuances
Violet, peach, blue or lilac shades are perfect for blue deep-set eyes.
Eye fatigue can be removed if a thin line is drawn along the lower eyelid using a white pencil. Such a maneuver will allow you to gain a visually fresh and peppy look.
As a basis, three shades of shadows are taken, as usual. The base tone covers the upper eyelid, affecting the inner corners of the eyes, as well as the lower eyelashes. Shades of a darker shade should be applied with a thin line above the growth line of the upper eyelashes.
A smooth line forms over the shadows with a pencil or eyeliner from the middle of the moving eyelid to the outer edge of the eyes, the implementation of which requires maximum subtlety and accuracy. For an even line, you can use, for example, a teaspoon. But remember, the more often you will independently draw this “problem” zone, the sooner you will master the application skill. If you circle the eyes along the contour, you can make them very small and deep, but for deep-set eyes this option is undesirable.
Next, proceed to the eyelashes. We paint the upper eyelashes in two layers with dark brown mascara. After the first layer dries, apply the second layer, avoiding eyelashes in the inner corner of the eye, focusing on the outer. Only adhering to this technique can achieve a radiant look.
The eyebrow line should correspond to the type of face, be properly designed and clear. The tone of the pencil should be selected as close as possible to the original. Eyebrows are drawn along the contour and combed with a special brush. Above the eyebrow, draw a thin light line along the contour.
You need to abandon too saturated and dark shades of shadows if you want your eyes to not seem even deeper and smaller than they actually are.
Some common mistakes
Regrettably, many ladies make a number of mistakes that do not color them at all, but only focus on the problems of appearance. Here are the most basic ones:
- Pink shades of the eyes give the eyes soreness.
- Deep and saturated shades only exacerbate the situation with deep-set eyes.
- Applying mascara to the lower tier of eyelashes makes the look tired and sad.
