Drawing eye shadow and sticking false eyelashes are important steps in creating a beautiful eye makeup look. Here are the specific steps:
- Prepare the Tools and Materials
- Eye shadow palette: Choose a color scheme that suits your skin tone and the occasion. For example, earthy tones are suitable for daily wear, while more vibrant colors can be used for parties.
- Eye shadow brushes: Include a large flat brush for base color application, a small pointed brush for detailed coloring, and a blending brush.
- Eyeliner and mascara: To define the eyes and make the eye makeup more complete.
- Prime the Eyelids
- Apply primer: Use an eye primer to even out the skin tone on the eyelids and enhance the adhesion of the eye shadow, making the color more vivid and long-lasting.
- Apply the Base Color
- Choose the base color: Usually, a light color close to the skin tone is selected as the base color, such as beige or light brown.
- Use a large flat brush: Dip the brush into the eye shadow and gently sweep it from the eyelid base to the eyebrow bone to create a unified base color.
- Add the Main Color
- Select the main color: According to your preference and the overall makeup style, choose one or two main colors. For example, if you want a warm look, you can choose orange or red-brown.
- Apply with a small brush: Use a small pointed brush to apply the main color to the eyelid, focusing on the area from the lash line to the middle of the eyelid. You can also apply it a little thicker at the outer corner of the eye to create depth.
- Blend the Colors
- Use a blending brush: Take a blending brush and gently blend the edges of the main color and the base color to make the transition natural. Pay attention to blending upward and outward to make the eye shadow look more three-dimensional.
- Highlight and Define
- Apply highlight color: Use a light, shimmery color to highlight the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone to make the eyes look more bright and energetic.
- Define with eyeliner: Use eyeliner to draw a thin line along the lash line, thickening it slightly at the outer corner of the eye to elongate and define the eyes. You can choose a black or brown eyeliner according to your eye color and makeup style.
- Prepare the False Eyelashes and Tools
- False eyelashes: Select false eyelashes that match the eye shape and makeup style.
- Eyelash glue: Choose an eyelash glue that is easy to apply and has strong adhesion.
- Tweezers: Use tweezers to pick up and position the false eyelashes.
- Curl the Natural Eyelashes
- Use an eyelash curler: Curl the natural eyelashes before applying false eyelashes to make them blend better with the false eyelashes.
- Apply Eyelash Glue
- Squeeze out the glue: Squeeze an appropriate amount of eyelash glue onto the back of your hand or a dedicated glue tray.
- Dip the lash band: Use tweezers to pick up the false eyelashes and gently dip the lash band into the glue, ensuring even coverage.
- Wait for the glue to become tacky: Wait for about 15 - 30 seconds for the glue to become tacky for better adhesion.
- Stick the False Eyelashes
- Align and attach: Use tweezers to hold the false eyelashes and align them with the root of the natural eyelashes. Start from the outer corner of the eye and gradually attach them to the lash line, pressing gently.
- Adjust the position: While the glue is not dry, adjust the position and curl of the false eyelashes to make them look more natural and curled up.
- Finish with Mascara
- Apply mascara: Apply a layer of mascara to the natural eyelashes and false eyelashes to make them blend better and enhance the curling effect.
