How to Make The Perfect Eyeliner

Today we will show you how to perfect the eyeliner in order to get that sexy look 


As you can see, in the tutorial picture we already have our eye shadows applied, but if you wish you can put them on afterwards and repeat the eyeliner – it depends on your own technique. If you are unsure of your ability to put on eyeliner, I would suggest you to apply the shades later, because there will be a lot of cotton bud usage!



So, as a start, you start your eyeliner from the corner of the eye, making the cat eye twist first. Then you make another line, connecting your upper and lower lid. When you are done with that, all you need to do is fill the uncolored area between the two lines and you are done!

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!

Makeup tips to look good in pictures

Follow these simple rules


  • Begin with a makeup primer, since it helps in keeping your makeup on.
  • Apply your makeup in natural light, since indoor lighting can alter its appearance.
  • Matte makeup doesn't have any shimmer or sparkle. It makes them perfect for pictures, since you don't want anything on your face that will reflect light off it.
  • Opt for black while choosing a shade of eyeliner and mascara. They make your eyes look impressive.
  • Fake eyelashes add volume and highlight your eyes.
  • Flash can make your face look washed out, so a bit of blush goes a long way in adding definition to your face.

It is similar to the smokey eye, as it required darker shades, but we`d say it is much more easier.
Simply prime your eyes and apply grey eyeshadow as shown on the picture. The darkest shade should reach the middle of the upper eyelid.
This is also the area, where you need to apply black glitter.

The lower eyelid also requires a little bit of makeup – don`t forget to apply it there, too.
There is no need to line your eyes, but you can do it, if you like the more dramatic effect. Apply mascara and you are done. Just smile now, as you look fabulous!

Go frosty

A popular beauty trend of 2014 - the shimmering and metallic effect of frosted eye shadows is now a rage. 


Would you like to make your eyes look like cake frosting? Glittering eyelids are in and this time, you can play with colours like pink, icy and shimmering whites. Says make-up expert Puja Taluja, "Last year, blue eyelids were quite popular and this year, the frosted eye look has taken the beauty world by storm. They brighten your eyes and provide a contrast to your dark lashes. This is a look that you can sport all year round and also wear with any kind of outfit." 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BASE SHADE 

While selecting the base shade, always go for silver. This colour works the best because it makes your shadow colour come through and the smokeys silver hue makes your eyes look bigger and gorgeous.

Summer beauty trend: Bright eyeliner

The soft, muted, pastel shades of spring-summer wardrobe are being contrasted with bright make-up and pink and orange lips, but don't shun bright eyeliner either as it is in vogue like never before.


It's an easy way to inject some colour into your summer look, and bright eyeliners are of lower maintenance than a lip colour.

Also, applying a good eyeliner can make you ready from morning till night, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

International designer Marc Jacobs featured bright blue shades in a recent collection. Also one witnessed orange liner at Vionnet's show and gold was seen at the Dior show.


However, it is necessary to choose the colour to compliment your outfit and your eyes.

If you don't want to attract too much attention just smudge a little into your waterline, or even just the bottom lash for a flash of colour.

For an adventurous look, try a futuristic liner style that actress Sophia Bush wore on the red carpet -- it certainly packs a punch and will ensure you standout this spring.

10 makeup tips to look like a diva

Follow these simple rules...


Step 1: 

Start by applying some eyeshadow primer all over your eyelids in order to ensure a long-lasting look.

Step 2: 

Once you've done that you can start applying gold eyeshadow all over the eyelids. You can always use a neutral/beige/nude tone for the base.

Step 3: 

Then the next step is applying a darker (grey) shade, in the centre of your eyelids.

Step 4: 

To create a more smoldered effect you will need to apply black eyeshadow to line the upper lash line, making a wing.

Step 5: 

Next I'm applying some black gel eyeliner to sharpen the look.

Step 6: 

Once you've done that take a fluffy brush to blend the colours and soften the look. You can also use a nude shadow to soften the edges and highlight the brow bone.


Step 7:

 Use the same brush to add a hint of grey underneath the lower lash line. Then you can use false eyelashes so you can create a dramatic look. If you decide not to, you can just apply a generous coat of mascara.

Step 8: 

Contour the face with some bronzer before finishing off. You can apply it on the hollows of the cheeks, the jawline and the sides of the nose.

Step 9: 

Follow this up by dabbing some peach blush on the cheeks.


Step 10: 

Finally for the lips, apply a gorgeous shade of red.

How to contour and highlight your face

Here's how you can get movie-star like looks without going under the knife. All you need to do is follow these simple make-up tips and contour your face:


  • Contouring is about highlighting your facial features so that it gives an appearance of a strong jaw line, defined cheek bones and a slimmer chiseled face. It is about shadows and light. Just like a darker colour makes you look thin and a lighter colour makes you look fat. Contouring or shading is done with a darker colour to push an area inward and highlighting is done with a lighter colour to pull an area outward. Blusher can then be used on your cheek area just above your contouring to highlight your cheeks.



  • Use powders to contour your face. It is the easiest and blends well. You can also use a bronzer or two different shades of powder compact. One dark colour (at least 2 shades darker than your skin tone) for contouring and one lighter colour (ideally white powder) for highlighting.


  • After applying foundation base on your face, you need to contour around your cheekbones area, just slightly under your cheekbones from the hollows to your ear. And under the chin area if you have a double chin. One can also contour into the hairline. This will help your face appear slimmer.


  • Using the right brush is very important for contouring and highlighting. Bigger brushes can be used for bigger areas like under the jaw line. Make sure you keep a separate brush for your blush and your contouring powder so as to not mix the two colours. Blending is the most important thing while contouring so that there are no harsh lines visible.

Make-up trend: Think purple!

Pantone, the authority on all things colour, recently named a fuchsia-purple hue, officially known as 'Radiant Orchid' as 2014's Colour of the Year - especially for your make-up scheme.


So, let the shades of orchid, lilac and lavender rule your make-up palette this year. These shades can instantly brighten your face. The prettiest way to tackle the trend is by applying a wash of eyeshadow, which is both dressy and a bit adventurous. Or try a pop of colour along your lash line using a wet purple liner. And if you want those intense, piercing eyes, go for the purple smokey-eye look with nude lips. If you're passionate about purple, go full-on and sport deep purple on your lips and nails. 


The colour screams 'sexy' and if worn well, can make a woman look drop-dead gorgeous.

 Tip: 

Go easy on the amount of eyeshadow you're applying. A light, blurred effect is preferred over a dark, dramatic look.

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.

Makeup How-To: Soft and Natural Eyeshadow

 1. Apply a light taupe shadow over your entire eyelid. 

Model Brooke Shunatona, Cosmopolitan.com's assistant beauty and fashion editor, applied MAC's Eyeshadow in Taupe over her eyelid, deepening the color toward her lashline.

 

2. Line your eyes with black gel liner.

Dip an eyeliner brush into a black gel liner, likeRimmel London's Scandal Eyes Waterproof Gel Liner, and run it along your top lashline, increasing thickness of line as you inch toward the outer corner of your eye.



3. Intensify your cat eye at the outer corners.

Use the same gel liner and a flat-tip eyeshadow brush to add product to your lower lashline from the center out toward the outer corner of your eye. "Make sure the upper and lower line meets at the outer corner of your eye to ensure the liner looks seamless," Cosenzasays.

4. Finish with a light pink lipstick.

Apply a soft pink lipstick, like Benefit's Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Dandelion, and then finish with MAC's Cream Color Base in Luna as a highlighter over the Cupid's bow and on the center of the lower lip.  


Done and done. To boost this look for nighttime, blend a deeper brown shadow shade into the crease of your eye and go!
