Eyes are not only a mirror of the soul and a way of perceiving the world around us, but also the most expressive feature of a female image. Therefore, makeup artists are advised to pay special attention to the makeup of this particular part of the face. The problem of short or insufficiently thick eyelashes is now easily solved. Modern cosmetics are designed to hide visible flaws and emphasize natural virtues. But choosing the right mascara is just the first step towards perfect makeup. Despite the apparent ease of use, not everyone knows how to properly apply mascara to achieve the desired effect. The choice of means and method of staining depends on the state of natural eyelashes. But there are several universal tips from makeup artists, thanks to which you can learn how to properly paint mascara.
- Eyelashes have a natural protective fat film produced in the subcutaneous sebaceous glands connected to the eyelash follicles. But not even the most resistant mascara on greasy hairs will last long. Therefore, eyelashes need to be degreased first. This can be done with a light alcohol-containing tonic.
- The next step in eyelash makeup is preparation. In order to lengthen the eyelashes, you can lightly powder them before applying the mascara. But there is a modern easier way, preparing eyelashes for makeup and enhancing the effect of mascara - this is a primer for eyelashes. It is a white or translucent color, reminiscent of a cream or gel in consistency. The primer is applied with a brush along the entire length of the eyelashes, enveloping and sealing them. This tool acts in several directions: lengthens, divides the eyelashes and gives them volume. If you curl your eyelashes, the primer will fix the bending effect. After the primer has solidified, mascara is applied.
- Now, after preparation, we will talk directly about how to properly mascara your eyelashes in order to consolidate the effect. Experts advise applying mascara from the base of the eyelashes with quick, but neat zigzag movements. To make the makeup look neat, you need to color each eyelash. But do not overdo it with the lower eyelid. Thicker lower lashes can visually reduce the eyes. If you extend the upper eyelashes in the outer corners of the eyes, this will lengthen the oval of the eyes and give the effect of a feline look. And in order to visually enlarge the eyes and make the eyes open, you must first tighten the eyelashes with curling irons, then apply one primer layer to fix and finally mascara. Photos with various effects of eye makeup can be found on the official websites of makeup artists, which details how to properly apply mascara.
Eye makeup, depending on the time of day, differs in the intensity of application and the brightness of the shades used. For a classic daytime make - up, for owners of any eye color it is enough to apply mascara in one layer. The lengthening in this case will be most relevant. For an evening out, you can experiment with flowers. For example, paint long and curled eyelashes with charcoal black, and shade the edges with red mascara.
