Liner Shadow

My guy was mesmerized by a picture of a Japanese star. He found her ordinary looking in her other photos but in this one, she looked gorgeous.

Same girl. Similar outfits. Yet, in one photo she was mesmerizing, in another, just like every other girl.

The difference?

Her eyes. In particular held his attention. That and her sensual lips. The way her mouth was slightly open, suggestively in those pictures.

Well, for starters, her eyes looked much bigger in that photo than in the other pictures. Here, the makeup artist employed eye makeup, for that smoky eye look.

That, paired with ultra long lashes give a girl mesmerizing eyes.

That is a tricky look to apply. Done wrongly, it can make eyes look smaller. Or worse still, it can make a girl look really old.

Done correctly, eyes look sultry and much bigger.

The trick is not to rim the entire eye.

Here's what you can do.

First, use foundation and concealer if you must to create the illusion of perfect skin. If you need a touch of color, apply a rosy blush on cheeks, with a very light hand. For a hint of color. Spritz with water to set the makeup. Then place a kleenex over your face to soak up the excess moisture.

The eyes:

1. Line eyes with a dark brown eye liner pencil or khol:

Draw as close as possible along the upper lash line. Start from the inner corner of the upper eye lid and thicken the line as you move from mid eye onwards.

Draw as close as possible along the lower lash line. Line from the middle of the eye outwards.

2. Use the flat side of an eye shadow brush and go over the liner. Smudge slightly to soften the look.

3. Open up the eyes with long lush lashes. Get false eyelashes, follow the instructions and put them on. Use this lash kit to help you get started. Or you could use a lash curler on your eye lashes, then a lash-building mascara to make your eyelashes ultra long.

The lips:

1. Pick a lipstick in a soft, rosy pink shade.

2. Use a lip brush to paint the lipstick onto your lips.

3. Apply a pink lip gloss over your lips for that mouth-watering shine that makes your lips look oh so sensual.

How to do a smokey eye on blue eyes with brown shadow/liner?

I have bright blue eyes and black makes me look goth. Could you give me step by step instructions on how to do it with brown? I want it to be edgy yet still pretty.

THX!

Its good you know what suits you, some people just don't have any idea! I will leave some links of you tube videos that give you a tutorial on smokey eye.

In my opinion:

Start with a fresh eye. Apply an eye primer. If your not sure what this is, it is a product that is used to 'prepare' your eye area, usually making the make up last longer. Various make up stores sell it, and its an amazing product. Second, apply a base, it could be a concealer, or any cream based product, in a nude colour that is, obviously, similar to your skin, apply it all over your lid, and up to your eye brows. Blend it in, so you do not have excess product hanging around. I'm going to use my example in browns but DO NOT BE AFRAID OF COLOUR. Just make sure whatever you use, suits you, so you don't turn out like a clown.

1. Start with a dark brown eye pencil. Don't press to hard, as you don't want to drown your gorgeous blue eyes! Start from the outer corner, and make a (approximately) 2mm thick line, and draw in the eye liner about JUST PAST half way into your eye, but the closer you pull your eyeliner to your tear duct, the thinner the eye liner should be. Obviously do the same to the other eye! :}

2. I do not know if you use make up brushes? But if not, the little sponge/brush that comes with the eyeshadow will be fine. Now use, an eye shadow colour that is similar to the eyeliner. Go to the crease in your eye. Start about a quater of the way in, from the OUTER corner. And apply the eye shadow. Now, I hope this next part makes sense. Your brush should be now sitting on your crease, near the outer corner of your eye, DRAW the eye liner down in a rounded motion TO the corner, and then gently mock the way you did your eyeliner at the bottom, but JUST above it, so its almost touching. Now you will kind of have a backwards 'C' shape on the edge of your eye. I hope this is easy to follow..

3. Now fill in the 'C' from the outer edge and draw it towards your tear duct, about half way in. Now, with a light beige/cream colour, slightly blend the edge of the brown right to your tear duct. So it kind of 'spans' out into the lighter colour as it gets closer to your tear duct.

4. Now get a gold/shimmery eye shadow, and put a dab right on the inner corner of your eye thats right next to your tear duct and nose, and then sweep it up lightly to join the rest of the eye shadow. And Blend.

5. Put some of the brown eyeliner on your bottom lid, and sweep it across, as heavy as you feel looks good, to where your eye lashes end. Don't take it right up to the inner corner, as it may totally drown your eye.

And hopefully, if this make ANY sense. You will now have a beautiful brown smokey eye.

So if anything I said just then didn't help at all, try some of these you tube videos, thats where I go, when I need a helping hand!
