Eye Make-up Techniques for Beginners
When it comes to beating your face, eye makeup can be the most intimidating method to master, but once you have the basics down, it’s time to turn up the heat and practice different techniques to bring your makeup look to the next level. Your favorite beauty experts at Capture Cosmetic show you how to create the classic cat-eye, the sultry smokey eye, and the art of mastering natural freckles.
Master the Perfect Cat Eye
- Use a Quality Eyeliner
The cat-eye requires a steady hand, so the product must go on smooth otherwise, precision will be difficult. - Map Out an Outline
Envision a line stretching from the outer corner of the eye up toward the brow bone and place a dot outside the outer lash. When you create the line, it should lift and widen the eye. - Connect the Dots
Relax your eyes and use the eyeliner to trace the imaginary plot. Use a cotton swab to clean up any mistakes and a concealer for a sharper point.
How To Nail Smokey Eye Like a Pro
- Apply a Primer
Use an eyeshadow primer to prime the eyelid. This will ensure a smooth and long-lasting application. - Select Three Eyeshadows
You’ll need a shadow for the mobile lid, crease, and a highlight. Black, browns, navy, or green are a great palette to work with. - Apply Each Eyeshadow
Apply your mobile shade all over the lid, your crease shade in the crease, and the highlight near brown bone and blend, blend, blend, line your eyes, and voila.
How To Make Fake Freckles Appear Natural
- Use an Eyebrow Pencil
For the most natural freckles, opt for a color that matches your hair color. - Apply Each Speckle
When applying each freckle, ensure it is sporadic and focused in the areas where the sun hits most. - Finish It Off
Use your clean finger to press each freckle and lightly brush over with a setting powder and brush for a sun-kissed finish.
