A 6-Step Guide To A Simple Eye Make Look

How To Get A Perfect Simple Eye Makeup Look?

As someone new to the world of makeup, one thing that can get pretty challenging is eye makeup. The range of colours, techniques, textures and looks one can create, can intimidate anyone. However, once you get the hang of it, you can unleash the real artist in you. We have tried to make it easier for you and your inner aspirational self by compiling a few ways to curate some simple eye makeup for beginners.  

Start With A Good Set Of Eye Brushes: 

When it comes to eye makeup, blending is the way to go. You don’t want your makeup to look too harsh or unusual. You can opt for cosmetic brushes, as they provide a precise and even application. You can choose either from real hair brushes or synthetic brushes. However, as a beginner, synthetic brushes are far easier to use, affordable and cleans faster. 

Always Prime Your Lids: 

Your eye makeup should be smooth and be able to cover all the spots on your eyelid. Hence, to create an even canvas for your eyeshadow colour to glide on smoothly, use a primer. This will help to spread out your eye shadows and make sure that they blend easily, even with the creases the eyes create. Secondly, a good eyeshadow primer ensures that your eye makeup lasts longer and can also work as a concealer for the base of your eye look. 

Apply A Base Shadow To The Eyelid: 

Irrespective of the look you are going for, apply a base shadow that is slightly in the neutral to create a gradient once your brighter shadows are packed on. You can choose grey, nudes, browns and even heathers for this step. Then depending on your look you can either extend it to your brow bone for a dramatic smokey eye look or stop at the crease of your eyes for a basic eye makeup look. 

The Trick With Darker Shadows: 

An eye look, even a simple eye makeup look is incomplete unless you play with the light and dark colours of your palette. Darker colours attract light, so placing a dark-toned shadow into the crease of your eye will make them pop. However, using these shadows is more tricky than we anticipated. If you put a little too much of it, it can very easily get out of hand. Therefore, the easy method is to simply follow the shape between your brow bone and eyelid and wipe the colour between these two points, following the shape of your eye. Next, use the brush you used for a lighter colour and blend where the darker colour meets the lighter till you have a beautiful gradient between the two. 

Glitters Make Everything Better: 

Not only do certain glitters make the eyes pop, but they also effectively cover up the mistakes you may have made along the way while blending. A shimmery eye shadow that dances between your inner corner and underneath the brow bone can pull more attention to the eye and can work in your favour. Use a glitter shade that matches your darker shade closely or provides a contrast to it and simply pack it on using your fingers. Using a brush to put your glitter may not be effective since it can move the glitter around and along with that your eyeshadow. 

Line Your Lids: 

Whether it’s eyeliner or a kohl pencil, lining your eyelids makes your lashes look thicker and your eye look more impactful. You can even opt for false eyelashes, if you wish to make your eyes look more beautiful. Applying false eyelashes at home is very quick and easy though.You can make a wing eyeliner and draw more definition to your eyes or simply use a kohl pencil in your waterline to make the eye look more dense and dramatic. Either way, using a liner for your eyelids can create the edge you hope for and can make the eye look whole.

FAQs

What colour of eyeshadow should I opt for? 

Ans. There is no certified right answer to this since the colour of your eyeshadow depends on your dress or the occasion or the style you are going for. However, we would suggest lighter colours in the inner corner, a lower lash line in the outer corner and underneath the brow bone. This helps to pull focus on your face and thus your eye. 

Do I really need eyeliner? 

Ans. Of course not. Many people may or may not have aced the art of the winged liner and might feel some anticipation while applying it. One wrong flick can ruin your whole makeup. So no, you don’t have to put on eyeliner. Instead, you can go for some kohl in your water liner or apply the same in place of eyeliner and then smoke it using a brush.
