Blue-eyed girls are real lucky, because their eye color is considered one of the rarest. Is this not a reason for cool experiments with your appearance, especially when it comes to evening makeup?
Features of evening makeup for blue eyes
To make an elegant and flawless evening make-up, owners of beautiful blue eyes need to follow certain rules. Only a correctly made make-up will emphasize the depth and expressiveness of the look, profitably presenting the best aspects of your appearance.
So to features of bright makeup for blue eyesintended for exit in the evening include:
- The use of high-quality decorative cosmetics with a predominance of pigmented eyeshadows. Such cosmetics can achieve saturated colors, and you adjust their intensity yourself;
- Brightness does not mean a combination of flashy acid shades. You can add expressiveness to a look with just one color, if you know the basics of makeup and know how to put them into practice. Blue eyes are usually quite bright on their own, so you should not highlight them so that the makeup looks tortured. At the same time, do not give up shimmer shadows and colored mascara: moderation is the key to elegance;
- Even the most beautiful blue-eyed girl does not look good if her skin condition leaves much to be desired. Defects and irregularities are masked by corrective cosmetics (primer, concealer, foundation, etc.);
- In addition to the previous paragraph, do not lay on tonal products, but apply them gently, using as much composition as necessary. Otherwise, the light tone of the iris will be lost against the background of excess cosmetics, and in order to highlight the eyes, you will have to apply a large number of decorative make-up products;
- If the evening make-up focuses on the eyes, the tone of the lips is selected in a neutral shade. If you neglect this rule, you can get an image in the style of the film "Corpse of the Bride." For the same reason, do not lighten the complexion too much.
If you want to make a spectacular winning makeup for blue eyes, then don't be afraid to experiment with textures and shades, but always follow the basic principles of makeup to find a middle ground.
Smokey ice
You can add even more magical appeal to blue eyes with the help of smoky shadows. The makeup technique in the style of smoky eyes has remained at the peak of popularity for many years, as this is the surest way to visually “open” your eyes, giving it a romantic mystery and depth. The classic way to make smokey ice make-up involves applying a dark tone to the top of the color, which gradually stretches to a lighter transition. To do smoky makeup, follow our instructions.
Step 1. Powder your eyelids a little. You can apply the base and / or primer.
Step 2 Bring your eyes in pencil or shadow. Avoid liquid eyeliner, as a very sharp contour in this case is undesirable.Pay attention to the drawing of the outer corner.
Step 3 Feather the contour so that it has a thinner line along the lower eyelid.
Step 4 Apply 2 - 3 shades of shadows on the upper eyelid to create a smooth transition. Their color is combined with the color of the pencil, while the darkest shade is applied to the outer corner and gradually highlights closer to the inside.
Step 5 Underline the arc in the eye socket and the outline of the eye with darker shadows.
Step 6 Perform the same stretch of tone from dark to light shade, drawing the lower eyelid.
Step 7 Complete the study of the eyelids by applying light shades (white, grayish, pearl, etc.) on the upper eyelid upward to the eyebrows from the crease.
Step 8 Make up eyelashes, paying attention to the area in the outer corner of the eye.
Makeup for blue eyes with arrows and shadows.
Such a make-up, depending on the saturation of the shadows and the intensity of drawing details, can be a great addition to a day or evening look. To create a make-up, take black or gray eyeliner, a base for shadows, mascara, a primer, shades with a matte texture in white, silver and dark gray.
Step 1. Apply a base under the shadows on the area of the moving eyelid, blend the product well and lightly powder.
Step 2 Apply tight white shadows on top of the prepared layer.
Step 3 Mark the fold of the upper eyelid with silver shadows and carefully blend the line so that it is the thinnest closer to the corner of the eye.
Step 4 Use a beveled brush to draw the dark gray shadows and draw a neat arrow, stretching its tip to the temple.
Step 5 Bring the lower eyelid.
Step 6 Duplicate the arrow line with a gel eyeliner to give it sharpness. Try to draw it close to the roots of your eyelashes.
Step 7 Apply light shadows to the inner corner of the eye.
Carefully mask the defects with a sponge and brush away the remaining makeup with a large brush.
Bright makeup for blue eyes
A make-up of bright contrasting shades for blue eyes is a win-win option if you need to give your look even more expressiveness, making the image the most luxurious. The color scheme for bright saturated makeup is selected in the most thorough way.
When determining the color palette, makeup artists advise, first of all, to take into account the shade of the iris - saturated blue, transparent blue, the color of the "sea wave", cold bluish, aquamarine, azure, etc.
Also pay attention to the tone of the skin of the face: girls of the “winter” type will need a make-up of a completely different kind than the owners of the skin in warm tones (peach, pale pink, etc.). Accordingly, bright makeup for blue eyes is performed differently if its owner is a blue-eyed brunette or a platinum blonde.
The blue iris is well combined with decorative cosmetics of pink, gold, silver and lilac / violet shades. In some cases, bronze and emerald shades can be used. Such a palette is suitable for a wide variety of color types, but when applying cosmetics, be careful about intensity, otherwise you will give the image a too theatrical effect. However, with the correct make-up technique, you can get a bright spectacular make-up that makes the look deep and expressive.
Useful advice: The latest trend in makeup for eyes with light shades (not only blue, but also green) is the rejection of too dark shadows. This technique is dangerous because it visually makes the eyelids heavier and makes the look tired. For the same reason, do not use black eyeliner in combination with light blue shadows.
When is bright blue eye makeup appropriate? Of course, this is any solemn occasion - a party, a wedding, a birthday, a corporate party, etc. If you want to try on such a look, you should not forget that it must be combined with the rest of the style, including outfit, hair and accessories.
If a festive event is planned in the evening or at night, feel free to use the most contrasting tones of shadows, eyeliner or eyeliner - orange, azure, purple, pink etc. It is permissible to apply them individually or combine several shades, performing the outline of the eyelid in one color, and the makeup of eyelashes or the corner of the eyes in another.
It is worth remembering that such an artistic make-up can give your appearance an unforgettable charm, but it can also destroy the whole image if the colors do not fit together well or the makeup technique is lame.
To create a bright make-up of blue eyes, it is allowed to use additional decorative elements - glitter, sparkles, rich pigments, false eyelashes. Such a make-up will be an ideal solution for brunettes and brown-haired women.
Blondes, fair-haired and red-haired girls should observe the principle of moderation and use a maximum of 2 bright shades in the palette.
If a bright blue-eyed beauty needs a make-up for a wedding look, the visage concept should be thought out with the utmost care. Bright - doesn't mean defiant: For a flashy but elegant look, use gray-brown, silver, gold or pale pink shades. The bride should look gentle and feminine, so abandon the densely pointed arrows and intense smoky eyes.
Major mistakes
There are several tricks to "spoil" the image of the owner of even the most huge and beautiful blue eyes. Let's not be naive: many girls, trying to achieve similarity with celebrities or just to emphasize the beauty of the eyes, put kilograms of cosmetics on the eyelids and eyelashes, without really going into the rules for combining makeup. As a result, the look really attracts attention, but not at all that the young lady would like.
How to make up blue eyes so that they attract only admiring eyes? Let's see which major mistakes can be tolerated with blue eye makeup.
First mistake. A selection of shadows that match the color perfectly with the shade of the iris. This technique does not increase the eyes, but, on the contrary, visually makes them smaller. Also, the shadows that coincide in shade with the iris of the eye visually “erase” the pupils from the overall picture, giving them excessive transparency.
The second mistake. Wrong color of carcass. It is chosen in accordance with the shade of the applied shadows. If they have a light texture and light tone, you should not use saturated black mascara for blue eyes - this will make them less expressive. For daytime make-up, mascara of a gray or blue hue, as well as blue or purple, is suitable. In this case, the agent is applied in one layer. Black mascara is applied if the eyes are saturated with makeup of bright colors. For makeup with shades of brown, choose a mascara of the appropriate tone.
The third mistake. Another common mistake with blue eye makeup is incorrect eyelash tinting. Not every girl has huge eyes, like, for example, actress Emma Stone, so if you draw an arrow strictly along the line of eyelash growth, against the background of the transparency of blue eyes, this will look unnatural and reduce the expressiveness of your gaze.To avoid this effect, make the arrow slightly higher than the eyelash growth line, leading its tip beyond the line of the corner of the eye (but not by much!).
Actress Emma Stone has very large eyes by nature, so she is wearing makeup with a full outline of the eyelids. But such a make-up is not recommended for girls with small and deep-set eyes.
The fourth mistake. Blue eyes are “dangerous” in combination with shades of pink, reddish or brownish tint. This is not a general rule, but in some cases, the transparent tone of the iris and skin tone of the eyelids do not work well in tandem with such colors. It is important to find your correct shade of shadows so that the skin around the eyes does not look swollen and swollen, which will give you a painful look. Do not completely give up pink, red and brown shades, but you need to carefully select the best shade that suits you.
The fifth mistake. Excessive love of shadows with mother of pearl. If, in addition to the blue color of the eyes, you have light skin, such a makeup can give you extra pallor. To achieve the desired effect, when applying pearlescent shadows, do not forget to draw a line of the eye with a pencil or eyeliner.
Sixth error. Circling the eye with a completely black eyeliner and a pencil is a good technique if the goal is to resemble the heroine of a thriller. In reality, such a makeup goes to a few girls (and then, if they were lucky enough to have huge eyes by nature). The line that completely outlines the eye, connected by sharp arrows, will narrow its size and visually "plant" the organ of vision deep into the orbit. Always use moderation and do not forget to set off the moving eyelid.
Seventh error. Brown shadows and a pencil go to girls with blue eyes (especially brown-haired women and blondes), but applying to the lower eyelid under the eyelash growth line is extremely risky. Only professional stylists are able to make a make-up in this way correctly, since color is considered complex.
