Makeup rules: eye contour. The scheme of the correct application of the cream around the eyes against wrinkles and advice on the choice of funds. Video instruction is attached

Many women and girls cannot imagine makeup without eyeliner. For eyeliner and eyebrows are the most commonly used cosmetic pencil. But in recent times a very convenient liquid eyeliner appeared, and pencils are gradually becoming a thing of the past. But still I want to say a few words about the good old pencil.

Its composition is similar to that of lipstick, with the only difference that the pencil includes more hardeners with high temperature melting. The lead of these pencils consists of natural wax and contains natural oils that protect delicate skin and feeding her. In addition, the oil in the pencil ensures that the lead glides easily over the surface of the skin. Pencils High Quality do not injure the skin and do not cause allergic reaction even on the most sensitive skin.

Another type of contouring means - liquid eyeliner complete with a thin sharp brush - very convenient to use. Outwardly, liquid eyeliner looks like mascara. Only inside, instead of thick mascara, there is a coloring liquid, and in the lid, instead of a brush, there is a thin brush. Liquid eyeliner, like contour pencils, comes in a variety of shades to match your eyes and brows perfectly.

Before I tell you about how to apply eye contour correctly, we want to talk a little about how to do eyebrow makeup. For eyebrows, use both a pencil and a liquid eyeliner. If you are using a pencil, the lead must be properly sharpened before using it. The pencil should be soft enough to match the natural color of the brows. If you want to highlight the eyebrows a little, then you should not draw a solid line along the eyebrows. Just lightly run the pencil along the individual hairs from the inside out. After that, shape the eyebrows with a special brush.

Sparse eyebrows should not be drawn with a bold line, they will look unnatural. To make your eyebrows look thicker than they really are, you need to draw a wide line with a not too dark beige pencil, and then add some light dark strokes over it.

If you still chose liquid eyeliner as an eye contour, then you should know a few basic rules applying it to the eyelids.

Before using liquid eyeliner, degrease the skin on your eyelids and lightly powder it. This can be done with flesh-colored shadows or powder. After dipping the liner brush into the liquid, remove excess paint from it and only then proceed to apply the contour.

Apply a liquid contour to open eye... Try to keep your hand off the weight. Place it on your cheek. The contour line should be drawn as close to the lashes as possible. First, draw a line along the lower eyelid. Then lower the eyelid slightly and draw a neat line on the upper eyelid. After that, both lines should be shaded. If you want to give your look more expressiveness, then pull back the lower eyelid and draw a thin line on the inner edge of the eyelid.

Friends, hello everyone. It turns out that so many of us apply our eyelid products incorrectly. This can lead to swelling, allergies and premature skin aging. Therefore, all girls need to know how to properly apply the cream around the eyes, the scheme for applying eyelids. This is what I will tell you today in all the details.

There is a misconception among girls that a separate cosmetic product for the eyelids is just marketing. But I have more confidence in the point of view of cosmetologists on this issue. And they argue that the area around the eyes requires special care.

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate. The number of sebaceous glands in this area is minimal, so the skin is drier. Accordingly, it is aging faster. Have you noticed that the first wrinkles usually appear under the eyes?

The eyes themselves are an extremely sensitive organ. Even a small amount of a cosmetic product in the eyes can cause unwanted reactions or allergies. Therefore, eyelid products are designed with all the characteristics of the eye area in mind. It is desirable that the product is hypoallergenic and contains a minimum of fragrances, dyes and preservatives.

It is important to choose a remedy according to your age category. It is necessary to start caring for the eyelid area at the same age as the face. Up to 25 years old, it is enough to use light moisturizing gels or creams. More active anti-aging products can be used from the age of 25-30.

Technique for the correct application of the cream

It is important to apply eye contour products correctly. By following these recommendations, you will avoid swelling of the eyelids in the morning.

1. Apply a few drops of cream pointwise to the upper and lower eyelids. The product is applied to the upper eyelid from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one. And vice versa on the lower eyelid - from the outer corner of the eye to the inner one. It is necessary to apply the cream along the line of the orbital bone, that is, not on the eyelid itself.
2. Gently spread the droplets of the cream over the skin using light strokes of your finger. In this case, it is better to use ring finger... It is less trained, and will not be as intense as the index.
3. Drive in from the bone to the eye. That is, from top to bottom on the upper eyelid, and from bottom to top on the lower. Make sure not a drop of the product gets into your eyes.

To better understand the basic rules, watch another short video:

There are some nuances of applying funds in the morning and at night. They play important role in quality care for our centuries.

In the evening: Do not apply the cream to the eye area just before bedtime. It is optimal to do this 1-2 hours before bedtime, so that the product has time to be properly absorbed. If you go to bed immediately after application, the product can easily flow into the eye socket on an inclined basis. As they say, "cream drip". Indeed, when exposed to body temperature, it begins to move. Which leads to swollen eyelids and eye cut "like a Chinese".

In the morning: Don't rush to put on makeup right away. Cosmetics can leak, smudge, and you will have to rinse everything off and do the make-up again. Well, or walk in an unpresentable form. Therefore, it is better to apply the cream at least 10-15 minutes before makeup.

Errors when applying products around the eyes

Often girls think that the cream is not suitable for them or causes allergies. In fact, they they just don't know how to cook it ... oh, it is misused 😉

The most common mistakes when applying cosmetics for the eyelid area:

• Application to insufficiently cleansed skin. All cosmetics and residues of cleansers must be carefully removed from the face. Otherwise, there will be no benefit from skin care.
• Applying too a large number funds. For some reason, some believe that the more cream, the more noticeable its effect. This is not true. If you apply too much around the eyes, the skin will be less able to breathe and absorb the beneficial ingredients. And if you go too far with the cream for the night, then in the morning you will see swelling under the eyes.
• You should also not save too much on the cream. An insufficient amount of the product will not have the proper effect on the skin.
• Application of the cream not along the massage lines. The skin of the eyelids is very easy to stretch and injure, as it is thin and fragile. Therefore, you need to very carefully drive in the cream, trying not to rub the skin or stretch it.
• Applying the product directly to the eyelids, too close to the eyes. This can lead to contact of the cream on the mucous membrane, which contributes to irritation and swelling.

How to choose cosmetic products for eyelid skin

Care must be taken when choosing products for the delicate skin around the eyes. Consider your skin type, age, and the specific problem you want to solve. Bags under the eyes, bruising, decreased tone, wrinkles, or simply dryness. Modern cosmetics are able to fight these troubles.

The eyeliner raises a lot of questions. Is it worth painting inner side century? When to use a pencil and when to use a liquid eyeliner? The answers to all these questions will help you create an unforgettable image.

Different types of eyeliner

Can use eyeliner , liquid eyeliner or a brush for the contour of the eyes with thick shadows. If you choose a pencil, secure it with shadows, otherwise it won't last all day.

How to apply liquid eyeliner

Draw one continuous line of liquid eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. You can also draw a line from the middle to the outer corner of the eye, and then from the inner corner to the middle.

Another method of applying liquid eyeliner requires a firm hand, but will allow you to "open" your eyes. Apply eyeliner dots on the upper eyelid between the lashes. The result should not be a line, but the effect of very thick eyelashes. ... Then apply mascara.

Basic eyeliner

This is a great option for work or leisure - if you want to accentuate your eyes, but do without excessive makeup. Apply it lightly - you want to look natural. Brown eyeliner (if you have blonde hair) will serve the same purpose.

Holding the upper lid, draw a line along the upper lashes from the inner corner of the eye to the outer eyeliner or brush with dark shadows. To make the look more dramatic, make the outer edge of the line wider than the inner and extend it slightly beyond the eye. Another variation of the line is narrow on the inside, wider in the middle, and slightly raised on the outside.

Then draw along the same line with liquid eyeliner. So that your hand does not tremble, rest your elbow on the table. (You can skip this step, but this will make the makeup last longer.)

Secure the eyeliner with shadows. Then line up the lower eyelid with shadows or a pencil. You can use a different color, choosing one that emphasizes the tint of the eyes. Draw a line along the lower lashes from the outer corner to the inner corner. Unless you have wide-set eyes, do not let your entire eyelid down, stop approximately in the middle. If you are using a pencil, blend it lightly for a more natural look.

Smoky eye

It looks like it's the most enduring makeup trend - and it hasn't gone out of style. The main thing in this eye makeup is to blend the tones well. Also, remember that in this case, the emphasis is on the eyes, and the rest of the makeup should be discreet.

Holding the skin of the upper eyelid, draw the outline from the inner corner to the outer corner. Paint over the lash line. The middle of the line should be slightly wider than the edges.

Use a Q-tip or finger to blend the line. Use a brush to apply shadow over the line to secure it. Blend well, then apply eyeshadow. It is better to choose rich dark tones, turning into light ones to the crease of the eyelids.

Dramatic eye makeup

For such an evening make-up, it is better to choose not a black, but a colored outline. This can be liquid eyeliner or eyeshadow applied with a beveled brush. It's best not to use a pencil for this makeup.

While holding the eyelid, apply the eyeliner from the middle of the upper eyelid to the outer corner. Then draw a line from the inner corner to the middle and connect to the first. The line should extend towards the outer corner of the eye. If you have close-set eyes, do not extend the line to the innermost corner.

Eyes can vary in shape, size, position, color, and expression. Depending on the size and size, almond-shaped, slit-shaped, round, large and small eyes are distinguished. In addition, the eyes are distinguished by their fit: deep-set and protruding, as well as depending on the distance between the eyes: close and wide-set.

In addition, there is also a difference in the location of the eye axis. The axis is a conditional straight line going through the outer and inner corners of the eye. The axis can be horizontal, in this case the corners of the eye are located in one straight line ( classic version), ascending - then the outer corner is higher than the inner (eastern version), falling - the outer corner is lower than the inner (European version). Almond-shaped eyes are considered ideal in shape, the distance between the inner corners of which is equal to the length of the eye, and the inner and outer corners are on one straight line.

With the help of eye makeup, you can visually change their shape and size.

Different colors are used for eyeliner, and the color of the skin, hair and eyes must be taken into account. So, for example, people with dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes are best suited to black or dark brown eyeliner. If you have fair skin, blond hair, blue and light gray eyes, then brown eyeliner suits your face, but not too dark.

You can adjust the shape of the eyes in different ways depending on the purpose.

* If you have round and protruding eyes, it is best to "model" them with dark matte shadows, applying them to the outer part, thus "pulling" the eye to the temple. No shadows are applied to the moving eyelid. Shadows of light shades are superimposed on the space under the eyebrow. Use black mascara for lashes.

* As for small and deep-set eyes, they can be visually enlarged, making them more expressive. For such eyes, it is best to use light (pearlescent) shadows. Apply a thick layer of mascara to the eyelashes. The part under the eyebrows should be slightly darkened, softening with matte shadows.

* The greatest difficulties in women and girls are caused by the so-called falling eyes. When correcting such eyes, you should pay attention to the eyebrows. First, you need to mark the angle of the eyebrow by removing its "tail" looking down with tweezers, and then draw the missing edge with a cosmetic pencil. But only now direct it up, making the eyebrows "spread out". Next, along the upper edge of the eyelids, you need to apply a contour from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one. The contour should start barely noticeable, and end with a bold, intense line with a thickness of 1-2 mm. This will visually raise the lowered outer corners of the eyes. For lashes, use a thick black mascara.

Hanging corners of the eyes can be corrected with shadows. It is better to refuse a pencil or liquid eyeliner. Do not let your eyes down, especially the lower eyelid. This will only emphasize the overhanging of the outer corners. Take shadows in dark shades and apply them to the outer corners of the eyes, then carefully blend them towards the temples, that is, up. This will create the feeling that the corners of the eyes are raised upward.

When correcting a particular shape of the eyes with makeup, remember that eyeshadows in dark shades visually make the eyes smaller, making them more deep-set. But light eyeshadow, on the contrary, enlarge the eyes, visually "open" them. Most often, women and girls want to achieve the effect of large, expressive eyes. Then you should choose shades of light shades for this purpose. But, of course, do not forget that the color scheme should correspond to your type of appearance.

For a soft and dreamy look, apply eye shadow over the eyeliner. If you want to add drama to your image, then the outline is best done over the shadows.

For some ladies, eyelashes look down, in which case they should be curled with tweezers.

Curled eyelashes also "open up" the eyes, visually increasing their size. If by nature you have straight eyelashes, then use tweezers to curl them. The application of mascara completes the eye makeup. For extra volume, use a thick, fluffy mascara.

And remember one rule: if you want your eyes to look big and expressive, never let them down. inner edge!!!

Correct your face with makeup, but most importantly - do not forget that in any business you need to observe the measure.

- If you use a pencil to draw on eyebrows, then select it so that the color of the pencil exactly matches the color of the eyebrows. This is convenient for painting on thin eyebrows or too short. When you finish drawing the eyebrows, the hairs need to be drawn in the direction in which they grow.

- When using a liquid eyeliner, keep a pencil in your makeup bag anyway. On the lower eyelid, it is better to draw a line with a pencil, it is softer and more comfortable to shade.

- If it is difficult to draw a thin, even and neat line on the upper eyelid, you can resort to a little trick: just put dots between the eyelashes with a sharpened pencil.

- If you need to visually enlarge your eyes, then use a pencil of white, light gray or flesh color. Tint the lower eyelid with it from the inside, and then the eye will visually increase.

- Conversely, a dark pencil on the lower eyelid visually reduces the eye.

- Use a gray or brown eyeliner to add expression to your eyes. Moisten the eyelid lightly and draw a neat line along the inner edge. On the upper eyelid, the line can be shaded with shadows of the same color as the pencil.

- For a more natural look, use a pencil instead of the eyeshadow. A line drawn with a pencil can be slightly shaded.

- To achieve the best effect, the contour line on the lower eyelid should not be drawn to the inner corner of the eye. As for the outer corner, here, on the contrary, you should circle the eye completely.

- The contour line should follow the shape of the eye. If you have a rounded eye shape, then it is better to draw a line just above the outer corner. And if the corners of the eyes are slightly lowered, then the line needs to be raised up. If the eyes are set too close, you need to start the line from the middle of the eye. Here the contour line should be as thin as possible, and then expand.

- The contour of the eyes should be completed with a sharpened contour pencil or a liquid eyeliner liner. If you are not confident in your hand, then it is better to use a pencil.

- Liquid liner is convenient in that the contour line is clearer and does not fade during the day. You need to draw such a line with a liquid liner confidently, drawing one continuous line.

- The line is led from the inner corner of the eye to the outer, trying to bring it as close as possible to the roots of the eyelashes.

- Another secret of the beauty of your eyes: if the line is made a little thicker in the center, then it will visually enlarge the eye.

- In addition, there is such a rule: the outer corner of the eye should be on the same level with the inner corner or slightly higher. If you do not follow this rule, then your gaze may turn out to be harsh.

How to "make" the eye contour correctly
