Has it happened to you that you are doing your eye makeup, you can’t blend it well and the shadows are blotchy? Or maybe the famous raccoon effect looks familiar, when you end up after hours with all the black makeup running under your eyes? eyes? Or what about the times when you’ve tried to make your eyeliner look perfect, but it came out skewed? These are some of the typical mistakes we’ve all made when applying makeup, or the unwanted effects of poorly applied makeup on our eyes. I understand you and for all this there is a solution!
The tricks and tips of professional makeup artists, who make makeup from beginner to expert, are usually simple and practical.† Today I am going to talk to you about some tricks and techniques that I do, to eyes makeup be impeccable, durable and symmetrical.
One of the most common reasons why eyeshadows are so difficult to blend is lack of eyelid preparation.† How are you? You need a product that acts as a base so that the powder shadows adhere and blend better, you don’t need a special product, your concealer for dark circles is enough.
Apply the concealer all over your upper lid and below the lower lash line, and if you like, you can apply a thin layer of translucent powder on top of the concealer for easier blending. When you try this technique, you will notice how the eyeshadows blend together smoothly and more easily, as well as prevent your eye makeup from cracking over time.
We’ve all stood in front of the mirror trying to create an eyeliner that’s symmetrical on both eyes, but in the end we got frustrated, erased, and started over. Achieving a perfect eyeliner is a technique that requires a lot of practice and heart rate†
But you can always make your life a little bit easier, if you use a little help like a small piece of tape that is glued from the lower lash line to the temple, it will help you to create straight lines and draw on top of your eyeliner. You can do this with a gel, liquid or pencil eyeliner. At the end, carefully remove the tape and you will see how both eyes will be exactly the same and you will have two perfect lines in less time.
An infallible rule of makeup is the technique of sealing powder on cream† When using a creamy product such as an eye pencil, seal it on with a powder product of the same color. The raccoon effect, which we suffer so much from, when you end up with the black eyeliner smudged over the lids, can be avoided if you apply a black shadow over the eyeliner both on the inner waterline of the eye and below the lashes.
When you seal your creamy products with a powder product, you help your make-up better hold and not move out of place, it even works tear-resistant and your make-up becomes water resistant†
