As requested, a makeup tutorial on making the eyes appear Larger and
Brighter. This is a great trick to use when you pulled an all nighter
and want to avoid looking tired.
Here is the Video. The detailed instructions are below.
Materials
White or Pearl Eyeliner
I used Rimmel White Liner
Eyeshadows
one light color and one silver
I used Lancome Color Design
Suntouched Creme Lustre
Eyeshadow Brush
Liquid Eyeliner, Eyelash Curler and Black Mascara
I used Maybelline Ultra Liner
Shiseido Eyelash Curler
L'oreal Volumous Mascara
Alright lets get started!
1) Start out with a clean canvas (Concealer, Foundation and Powder on your face).
2) Take a white or pearl eyeliner, and line the lower rim of your
eyes. Pearl eyeliner is less intense looking than white because it
looks more natural, but for this I decided to use white so you can
easily see the difference.
3) Take a Q-Tip and clean off any excess white eyeliner. They like
to collect up on your lower lashes, but if you cannot get them all off
do not fear, we can cover them with mascara.
4) You cannot see the color I used on this photo (because I took
the picture with flash), but non the less, use a light eyeshadow over
your entire lid. This gives your eyes color. Also avoid dark colors
because dark colors advance while light colors recede.
5) Then take a silver eyeshadow and apply it around your tear ducts. This helps brighten your undereyes.
6) Now take the same silver eyeshadow and apply it on your upper brow bone.
7) If you need to, this is a good time to shade in your eyebrows.
A basic rule of thumb, 3 shades lighter for brunettes and 3 shades
darker for blondes.
8) Line your eyes. Make sure the line is very thin. The look we are trying to achieve is a very bright clean look.
9) Take your eyelash curler and curl your lashes.
10) Take a business card, and use it to shield your eyelid. While
shielding your eyelid, use the card and lift your lashes up. You should
be able to see all your lashes in front of the card. Now take your
mascara and coat your lashes.
I tend to use this technique when I want to coat all my lashes.
11) Now, here is where the magic happens. Many girls who use white
eyeliner tend to not apply mascara on their bottom lashes. From what I
have experienced, when you apply black mascara on your bottom lashes,
this helps OPEN up your eyes.
Your eyes are like flowers, and you need to bring out every petal for it to look bigger and brighter.
12) Sometimes, your mascara will mix with the white eyeliner, do
not fear, that is why the Q-Tip was invented. So swab those nasty muddy
suckers up!
Now, can you see the difference. This is foolproof regardless of
how bad you screw this up, because your eyes will appear larger,
brighter and less tired.
Good Luck!
On the left photo is the finished look from the tutorial I just showed you.
You can even experiment because on the right photo I applied eyeliner on the bottom rim of my eyes and wore contacts.
