Beautiful and easy makeup for blue eyes - Emphasize the depth of the eyes. We shoot with eyes



Readers often write to me with questions about how best to do makeup for blue eyes Apparently they like my selfies. I will be happy to tell you about how I paint my blue eyes, give some advice and tell you how to choose cosmetics of the right tones.

Pros and cons of light eyes

As you all have already noticed, I have light eyes, fair skin and naturally light hair (which I often dye, but this does not change the essence). IN real life infrequently there are blue-eyed girls with dark skin, but the owners of bright eyes and dark hair are not uncommon.

Dark hair combined with fair skin is very beautiful, but there is a risk of showing it too pale and inexpressive, so brunettes and brown-haired women also do not hurt to tint their eyes.

Pros of blue eyes:

  • suitable for almost all makeup colors;
  • easy to combine different styles and technology;
  • gray or chocolate mascara is enough for everyday makeup;
  • rarely found;
  • you can achieve a lilac or blue tint with makeup.
However, blue eyes also have some disadvantages. I can't call it shortcomings, but, in my opinion, such nuances should be taken into account. So the cons:
  • light eyes are lost on light skin;
  • dilated vessels are very noticeable;
  • any redness makes the girl look like a rabbit - he also has red, inflamed eyes;
  • any make-up flaws are very noticeable.
I would like to say a special word about the latter. It is clear that we are all people, and we can make mistakes - somewhere the hand trembled, somewhere it overdid it with the arrows, somewhere the ink crumbled a little. And it is clear that every girl tries to avoid such situations, and in case of any shortcomings, she immediately corrects them.

But the fact remains - where dark eyes, swarthy skin and burning eyelashes hide slightly smeared eyeliner, and the blue-eyed woman looks tearful. And this means that cosmetics should be of the highest quality - otherwise you will not look too well-groomed.

How to turn minuses into pluses? In fact, there is nothing complicated about this. To make light eyes look bright, they need a decent frame. Believe me, permanent coloring of eyelashes and eyebrows copes with this perfectly - the face looks well-shaped and fresh.

Next, dilated vessels. In everyday life, a cooling gel and a cool mask will save you, and if you need to urgently clean yourself up, you can use moisturizing drops or briefly dip your face in cold water and blow your eyes well. The vessels will return to normal, the look will become more expressive.

Redness can appear either from fatigue and dryness - any refreshing spray or thermal water will do (neatly, it can dry out the skin), or from allergies - in such a situation, the skin is better treated.

To make makeup flaws less noticeable (for example, when you have a small mirror, or you need to make up in the car, or when you simply don’t have time to apply makeup) - choose something light and smoky. It is very difficult to spoil the makeup, which consists of two light shades of eyeshadow and is applied with your fingers.






On every day

I'm sure that day makeup for blue eyes should not be too rich and heavy. However, there are some rules to keep in mind:
  • shadows with mother-of-pearl or shimmer - evening;
  • too dark shadows should be either a constant in the image, or used only when you are doing evening makeup for blue eyes;
  • all kinds of gold and silver eyeliners should be used carefully.
And what do we have in the dry residue? Products that can be used for blue eye makeup should not be shiny and iridescent (you don’t want to resemble a Christmas tree, do you?), you should not do too dark makeup and you can not use many shades of metallic. But you can:
  • experiment with matte and satin shadows;
  • use baked shadows of different shades;
  • wear bright colored eyeliners and mascaras;
  • do cool nude makeup;
  • love natural tones with all my heart.
Natural makeup for blondes with blue eyes is done either in gray or shades of brown. It depends on the color type - if cold shades prevail in your appearance, then it is better to use cold cosmetics, if warm, then warm tones.

Check out a little blue eye makeup guide, step by step photo:

  • first you need to prepare the skin - clean it, lubricate it with a moisturizer or nourishing cream, remove excess and apply a make-up base;
  • the next step is to work out the tone, you need to mask various skin imperfections with a concealer and corrector ( green tone used for pimples and redness, yellow for scars and bruises, pink helps to make the complexion more fresh);
  • then we apply the main foundation on the skin of the face in any convenient way, for high-quality shading it is best to use a beauty blender, but you can also apply make-up with brushes, a sponge, a clean cotton pad or even fingers;
  • after the tone has “calmed down” a little on the face, you can proceed to the eyes - for example, apply a base under the shadows;
  • paint over the eyebrow line with a special pencil or shadows and comb them;
  • apply shadows on the moving part of the eyelid and blend;
  • paint over the crease of the eyelid;
  • remove excess, add highlights with a highlighter;
  • Apply mascara and line your eyes if necessary.

Going out or on a holiday

My favorite types of make-up for formal occasions are Arabic and Smokey. I’ll talk about the latter first, since it’s the easiest to do (in my opinion).

What is smokey eye makeup for blue eyes? This is a smoky makeup in pretty dark colors. I don't understand why now girls smear light pink shadows over their eyes and call it smokey - no, the correct smokey is done only with dark shadows! It doesn't have to be black - chocolate brown, purple, and blue look very nice, and my favorite shade for smoky ice is gray-pink.

Do smokey ice makeup for blue eyes 2017

First you need to choose two or three shades of shadows that blend well, give a beautiful gradient and fit your face. It is best to choose two closely related colors and one contrasting one - for example, two shades of purple (darker and lighter to draw haze around the eye), and peach to emphasize the depth of the look.

What shades are suitable for smoky eyes? Finely dispersed, well rubbed, resistant. You will also need dark eyeliner (felt pen, pencil or liquid) and mascara. Let's get started!

  1. The mobile and fixed eyelids need to be covered with a base for shadows, it will ensure durability.
  2. Apply the most light tone, starting from the eyelashes and gradually shading to the eyebrows;
  3. Bring your eyes and slightly shade the line;
  4. Apply the darkest shadows on the moving eyelid, blend;
  5. Apply a medium tone of shadows to the crease and to the fixed part of the eyelid, blend and make a beautiful transition;
  6. Limit the line of shadows to the lightest shade, blend;
  7. Line your eyes again, if necessary, with the darkest or medium shadows, slightly bring the lower eyelid;
  8. Apply mascara.


Now about Arabic makeup. For a long time, for me, such a make-up was the personification of the saying “sees the eye, but the tooth is dumb” - I couldn’t do a beautiful make-up for blue eyes in the Arabic style, everything was wrong and wrong. And then I met a good makeup artist who revealed to me the secrets of this makeup for blue eyes.

First of all, it should be bright and sparkling. Oriental beauties can be restrained in everything, but most of them love radiance - both in jewelry and in make-up.

The next thing you need to understand (and which, by the way, I didn’t understand at the time) is Arabic makeup for blue eyes and blond hair does not fit! Arab girls are all swarthy, most often they have dark hair and a completely different color type, on pale skin it is impossible to achieve such a bright contrast and such radiance. Therefore, if you are the owner of fair skin, then it makes sense to either use a bronzer and self-tanner, or wait for the summer and tan naturally. See how to do Arabic eye makeup for blue eyes step by step.


If you notice, makeup is done in stages. By the way, I noticed with surprise that many girls first paint one eye, and then the other - this is fundamentally wrong. When you do makeup for blue eyes, work consistently and do all the actions on each eye. That is, first you need to apply shadows on both eyes, shade them on both eyes, and only then apply eyeliner, mascara. Otherwise, you will make mistakes.




I'll show you a few beautiful ideas and lessons - I have been collecting makeup examples for blue eyes for a long time: photos and videos, and I will also give some tips.



It often happens that a girl seems to be doing everything right, but the result is still not the same, and it is not always clear why this is happening.

And it's one thing when we are talking about everyday make-up with its delicate pastel colors - well, it didn't work out like in the picture, but it turned out well - already well. And it's a completely different thing when you try to make something bright. To learn evening makeup for blue eyes, a step-by-step guide, of course, will help, but there are also certain nuances.


For example, you need to apply shades from the lightest to the darkest.


Be very careful with burgundy, red and purple - you may get the impression that you have a lantern under your eyes.

Many blue-eyed girls think that they need to paint their eyes blue and blue. Yes, blue and blue is very beautiful, but not for every day (you don’t want to look like a saleswoman from the past, do you?).

You should not use shadows that practically coincide with the shade of the eyes - you will get two spots without edge and shape.

See how you can make natural makeup almost invisible - it's all about the use of natural shades and soft application of cosmetics.





Learn how to do daytime makeup for blue eyes with a minimum of makeup - this way you can look good and not overload the skin unnecessarily.

The most common eye color in nature is undoubtedly blue and its shades. As for the make-up issues, it is quite simple for the owners of light eyes of blue shades to choose the appropriate option, and in this they are lucky.

This color has a rich palette - starting from a delicate light blue tone and pumping into a rich bright blue. Looking into such eyes, it seems that you are plunging into the ocean, and it is impossible to take your eyes off the penetrating gaze. But, in order to further emphasize the saturation of the color, you should skillfully perform makeup for blue eyes, which will further emphasize the natural attractiveness of their owner.

Makeup selection rules

Proper and beautiful makeup for blue eyes can favorably emphasize natural beauty, as well as make your eyes sparkle with real gems.

Any well-made makeup for blue eyes should be based on the intensity of the natural color. Depending on the saturation of the iris, several types of blue eyes are distinguished:

Violet eyes. Almost all rich and deep shades and tones of decorative cosmetics are suitable here, and the use of bright mascara and eyeliner is also allowed. The main thing is not to overdo it, since the presence of bright and catchy colors suggests only evening makeup, but this is not at all acceptable in daylight and in the workplace.

Makeup for blue eyes of medium saturation involves highlighting the main zone with light shades with darker fragments at the outer corners and the lash line.

Heavenly bright irises usually amaze people with their clarity and brilliance. In this case, delicate pastel shades are ideal. If you use deep dark tones, your eyes will look tired and haggard. A very interesting option is the application of thick retro-style arrows, but they will appropriately complement evening version.

Makeup for gray-blue eyes involves the selection of shadows to the color of the chosen wardrobe, since chameleon eyes are fickle and they are able to adapt to the environment and the chosen clothes.

Decorative make-up options

There is a great many variety of options used when using decorative cosmetics with blue eyes, as makeup artists believe that such an eye color, with proper and competent makeup, can take the place of the pearl of the entire image of a woman.

Smokey Ice is a pretty good option to use in combination with sky blue irises. For him, it is better to choose shades of a pinkish hue, shallow brown or golden olive. Avoid the classic gray-black-brown color scheme, as this will make the look heavier and make you look angry and prickly. If you are blonde and have big eyes the color of the sky, then in order to emphasize their natural beauty, you can make smokey ice in gray-blue colors. It is not recommended to choose a palette so that it matches the shade of your eyes, otherwise the makeup for blue-gray eyes will be completely ruined, and your eyes will fade against the background of decorative cosmetics.

In the event that you are a brunette and at the same time a happy owner of blue chameleon eyes, then choose a deep saturated shade for a smoky make-up of blue color, which will make your irises an order of magnitude brighter, and the look more penetrating and deeper. True, this option is more suitable as an evening. Owners of violet eyes should stop at a desaturated brown range with bright purple mascara on the eyelashes.

The photo gallery demonstrates autumn makeup for blue eyes in a wide variety, both evening and day option. The autumn version for blue irises will look great in pink with bright black arrows.

Oriental makeup is also suitable for blue eyes, as it can not only shade the color, but also make the look deeper, more penetrating and expressive. Since the oriental theme suggests a darker palette of shadows and bright make-up options, this is more suitable as an evening option for going to some social event. There are two options for applying decorative cosmetics in oriental style: in Arabic and Indian style. Arabic suggests a strong emphasis on the eyes: shades of bright purple, rich gold with sparkles, purple or lilac color in combination with black eyeliner.

In the case of using the Indian technique, it is necessary to highlight not only the eyes, but also the lips and eyebrows. Such a make-up is suitable for owners of a dark skin tone or those who have achieved this effect with self-tanner, sun tan or bronzer. The shadow palette should include the use of green, brown, as well as lilac or silver in various combinations.

An important point of the Indian version is that it is necessary to carefully work out the eyebrow growth line, and use a bright shade of lip gloss instead of lipstick. As you probably already guessed, the Indian technique involves an evening out.

Makeup for daily use

As you know, daytime makeup for blue eyes involves the presence of warm, light tones of decorative cosmetics with maximum approximation to the natural skin color. This rule is equally applicable to any kind of make-up, regardless of the color and shape of the eyes. When creating daytime makeup, it is necessary to use only neutral colors.

To achieve lightness, naturalness and inconspicuousness, you can use a palette of pastel shadows. Peach or coral, light green, desaturated blue or soft purple with obligatory thorough shading are well suited.

Everyday makeup for gray-blue eyes, it will look amazing when using green, but only non-warm shades, as well as light purple, caramel or pale blue. Be extremely careful when choosing the right shade among the brown palette, as the wrong color will give the girl a haggard look, the effect of sunken eyes, or the feeling of a recent tantrum. It is believed that it does not suit blue eyes at all, but when combined with other shades, as well as carefully working out the whole image, makeup for blue-gray eyes can sparkle with new, unexpected colors.

Among the brown palette, give preference to cold shades when the skin is light, or a golden tint when the skin is dark, tanned.

The main nuances of the make-up of blue eyes

Very often there is a situation, especially for makeup beginners, when you seem to be doing everything right, step by step and according to the instructions, but everything turns out not as beautiful as in the photo in a glossy printed publication. This may be due to the fact that you do everything exactly as indicated, but at the same time you do not know and therefore do not use some of the nuances that allow you to make blue-gray eye makeup or any other shade of blue perfect.

  1. The application of a darker color should occur on top of a light one, and not vice versa.
  2. If there are signs of fatigue on the eyes, then you can hide it with the help of a certain technique: apply silver shadows to the inner part of the upper eyelid. Also available in white or light blue.
  3. When you definitely want to complement the image with a bright black eyeliner, then after it dries, draw a line over it with a silver pencil. The arrow from this will visually decrease somewhat and become more accurate and attractive.
  4. Under no circumstances should blue-eyed eyeshadows be used on the lower eyelids of a dark purple color, as it will seem that you have black eyes.
  5. Girls with fair skin make-up for blue eyes should not be done using golden warm colors. If you want to soften the resulting decorative make-up somewhat, then add this shade along the eyebrow growth line, but in no case on the upper eyelid area.
  6. A blue pencil along the lash line of the upper eyelid, combined with blue mascara, will give the eyes more expressiveness and brightness, but not like everyday makeup.
  7. Don't use shadows that match your natural eye color.

Option for the phased application of decorative cosmetics

A step-by-step guide to applying makeup to owners of a heavenly shade of the iris involves the following steps:

Step 1. Before applying decorative cosmetics, be sure to cover the upper eyelid with a special base, which will prevent premature damage to makeup. After it dries, you can paint over it with light neutral shadows. This will give an already bewitching image of expressiveness and brightness. The option will look very good if you lighten the area under the eyebrow growth line and the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe inner corner. White, pale blue and soft silver shades are well suited for this. If you follow this rule, then makeup for every day will look beautiful and natural.

Step 3. The outer corner is stained with the darkest tone, while the inner corner is the lightest. This creates a smooth sequential transition. After application, the borders should be carefully shaded so that the transition between the shadows is not sharp and clearly noticeable.

Step 4. With an eyeliner or liquid eyeliner, emphasize the contour of the upper eyelid along the lash line. The bottom one should have a similar drawing, but with a shade that sets off the eyes.

Step 5. Eyelashes should be painted over with appropriate mascara. Everyday makeup looks good with brown mascara. But, when choosing this type of decorative cosmetics, it is best to rely on skin color.

Remember that a beautiful and harmonious daytime makeup for blue eyes does not involve flashiness, but moderate colors and soft lines. Breaking this rule will only push people away from you and your image, as it will look out of place and unnatural. Only evening makeup should suggest the presence of bright shades, intricate color schemes and combinations.

Do not neglect the basic rules and tips for choosing a color. Only in this way, observing all the nuances, you can step by step make the perfect make-up, regardless of whether you need an evening or daytime version.

Girls who have blue eyes are advised by stylists to create their look with light and light shades. Beautiful make-up for blue eyes is very easy to do. First of all, to create a light make-up, blue-eyed girls need to consider important rule: after applying the foundation for makeup, it is necessary to apply shadows of a lighter shade on the eyelid, and then dark ones.

It happens in liquid, gel and cream, is available in different formats (liner or felt-tip pen, in a jar), with tips and brushes of different thicknesses. All eyeliners are suitable for creating classic arrows with perfectly smooth edges, but each has its own characteristics.

For beginners, it is more convenient to use an eyeliner with a thicker brush and a felt-tip pen eyeliner.

Pencil

The easiest option for those who do not know how to draw arrows at all and are only going to take the first steps in this direction. It is most convenient to draw clear arrows with a hard pencil, but make sure that it is well sharpened and does not scratch the eyelid: the lead should slide easily over the skin.

Advice! Place your pencil in the freezer for 30 seconds before sharpening.

Soft ones will hardly help to draw clear arrows, but they are suitable for drawing the mucous contour of the eyelids and the interciliary space, they can also be used for “smoky” arrows and as a substrate when creating makeup. Products with a gel or cream texture are suitable for working with mucous membranes and for drawing arrows - but not graphic, but with soft smooth contours.

How to draw arrows with a pencil?

A step-by-step photo tutorial that will help you create perfect arrows, even if you are doing it for the first time.

Prepare your eyelid

This stage is very important, as a good base is half the success. Do not use eye cream or other products that may leave a sticky or wet residue on the skin. Cleanse the eyelid with micellar water and apply a reliable eye primer. Or powder your eyelid properly.

If you have oily skin, keep matting wipes on hand and blot your eyelids throughout the day so that the lines do not blur.

Make an eyeliner

To make eyelashes visually look thicker, and makeup with arrows turned out to be more harmonious and solid, be sure to paint over the space between the eyelashes on the upper eyelid with a resistant pencil. Walk the pencil along the roots of the eyelashes on the upper eyelid from the inner corner to the outer (and do not forget to sharpen the pencil beforehand!). To prevent the eyeliner from imprinting on the lower eyelid, try not to blink for the first 10-15 seconds after applying the pencil.

Draw the "tail" of the arrow

Looking in the mirror directly in front of you, draw a delicate "tail" of the arrow. Repeat this step immediately on the second eye to achieve symmetry. If you want the arrow to be pointed, attach the pencil to the corner of the eye and make a rather sharp jerky movement towards the temple, as if leaving a small stroke.

Emphasize the contour of the eyelashes

Carefully draw a line along the eyelash contour with a pencil and connect it to the “tail”. To make the line as even as possible, at the moment of drawing, slightly pull the skin of the eyelid in the outer corner of the eye towards the temple with your finger. But be careful and in no case do not stretch the skin too much, and do not try to repeat this technique at the first stage when drawing the “tail” of the arrow, otherwise it will turn out uneven.

Make the arrow thicker

Moving from the inner corner of the eye to the outer, gradually thicken the arrow, immediately duplicating any action on the other side. Cover your lashes with mascara.

For this photo tutorial, we used a hard lead pencil. How to create perfect arrows with a gel eyeliner, see our video.

How to draw eyeliner arrows?

If pencil arrows have already passed the stage for you, proceed to creating graphic arrows using liquid or gel eyeliner. We present two photo instructions: the first one will help you create a classic thin arrow, the second one is a basic version of the cat eye.

thin arrow

From the outer corner of the eye, draw a thin line parallel to the ciliary edge.

Connect the resulting "tail" and the ciliary contour to each other.

Line the space between the eyelashes on the upper eyelid with a black waterproof pencil.

With a small pencil brush, put a “glare” with light shadows in the inner corner of the eye, and use it under the eyebrow. So the eye will not look flat against the background of a bright arrow.

Cover your lashes with mascara. The image is ready!

Even more valuable information that will help you draw graphic arrows with eyeliner is in our video tutorials.

wide arrow

Prep your eyelid by applying an eyeshadow base or powdering it. Dial gel eyeliner on a thin brush and make a stroke in the direction from the corner of the eye to the crease of the upper eyelid. The line should run parallel to the base of the eyebrow.

Visually divide the line along the contour of the upper lashes into four equal parts. Stepping back 1/4 from the outer corner, draw a line towards the tip of the "tail".

From the inner corner of the eye, draw a smooth line to the middle of the line that you drew in the previous step.

Paint over the resulting "empty" stripes.

Paint over the space between the eyelashes on the upper eyelid and thickly paint the eyelashes with mascara.

double arrows

Double arrows look unusual and impressive. In addition, they visually increase the size of the eyes and make the eyelashes thicker. To draw them correctly, you need to start makeup from the tails of the arrows and then draw lines along the ciliary edge.

If you want to experiment with makeup, draw double arrows not along the lash lines, but in the creases of the upper eyelids and stepping back a little from the lower ones.

In our video tutorials you will find even more ideas for creating unusual eye makeup with arrows.

And such arrows are ideal for the summer season.

In summer, you can experiment with colors and arrow shapes.

Arabic arrows

This version of the arrows looks perfect in photographs, which is why they have become so popular on social networks. To make the arrows perfect, it is important to carefully paint over the inter-ciliary space of the upper and lower eyelids, and only then proceed to drawing the lines. It is also important to connect them at the outer corners of the eyes, making a sharp tip.

Raised hands with cat-eye effect

Do you want to create a "cat" eye makeup? Then you need to learn how to draw raised arrows. This is not difficult to do: from the outer corners of the eyes, draw lines towards the tips of the eyebrows, then paint over the spaces between the eyelashes and connect everything with a smooth line.

When drawing the tips of the arrows, do not stretch the skin and do not close your eyes.

Look for another version of the "cat" eye makeup in the style of singer Lana Del Rey in our video below.

How to draw arrows with shadows?

Use an angled brush for eyeliner. A similar brush for eyebrow makeup is also suitable.

Lightly dampen the brush with water (but only lightly, it shouldn't end up wet!).

Scoop up some dry eyeshadow with the brush to “cover” both sides of it. Shake off excess by running the brush over your hand. Otherwise, the shadows will immediately crumble under the eyes.

Starting from the inner corner of the eye, draw a line to the outer and slightly out of the edge. Try to keep the brush as close to the lash line as possible.

10 secrets of perfect shooters

It is unlikely that you will be able to draw even beautiful arrows the first time, but if you know a few beauty tricks, you can achieve the desired result quite quickly. Follow our advice.

Or: just paint over with them the areas that got extra eyeliner or pencil. If none of these products are on hand, you can erase the failed lashes using a clear balm or lip gloss.

Another useful and popular life hack for beginners: before drawing a line with eyeliner, put a few dots along the eyelash contour in a row. Connect them to get a more or less even line.

Before painting the eyes with eyeliner, mark the “rough” line with shadows and only after that draw the main one.

Glue a strip of tape near the outer corner of the eye to create a neat and even "tail" of the arrow. For the same purpose, you can use other improvised means: a business or discount card.

The easiest way to make smooth arrows is to first draw them the way you want, and then just delete the excess cotton swab or a synthetic beveled brush dipped in makeup remover.

Start drawing from the "uncomfortable side" - from the left eye if you are right-handed, and from the right, if, on the contrary, you are left-handed.

Draw the "tails" of the arrows only with your eyes open - it will be easier to control their direction, length and symmetry.

Arrows for eyes of different shapes

Here we talked about the most popular types of arrows for the eyes. Still don't know which one to choose? Take a short quiz to help you decide.

To emphasize the depth and expressiveness of blue eyes, make-up with a retro-style arrow and white shadows will help. In this step-by-step photo tutorial, we will look at a very beautiful and fashionable option makeup for owners of blue eyes, in which the main emphasis is on the upper arrow.

To create makeup for blue eyes with an arrow in retro style, you will need:

  • basic shadows;
  • shades of pastel shades;
  • black eyeliner;
  • brown pencil or eyeliner;
  • colored pencil or eyeliner;
  • ink;
  • brushes.

Makeup tutorial for blue eyes with a retro arrow and white shadows:

1) Before applying makeup, it is best to properly prepare your eyelid. Apply the base under the shadows, wait until it is absorbed, and then cover with a light layer foundation and basic skin tone shadows. We draw a beautiful eyebrow.
Such makeup is not suitable for the owners of the impending century. If, nevertheless, the movable eyelid looks out a little, then you can do a make-up in which there will be a very thin arrow so that it does not take up the entire space in any case. Also in this case, it is best to use a waterproof eyeliner so that nothing is imprinted in any case.

2) We cover the entire moving eyelid with a light shade of shadows to the crease. It is better to do this with a large flat brush and patting movements. In this case, we will create a dense layer, and not a shady thin one.

3) With the eye open, we will draw haze with brown shadows. Based on your wishes and color type, choose the perfect brown shade for yourself. With a small flat brush, pick up the shadows and apply them from the depth of the fold.

We extinguish the shadows with the end of the brush to the temple. Try to make the shape of the shading repeat the bend of the eyebrow, and its end should be directed to the temple.

If you have close-set eyes, then do not take the haze further than the inner iris of the eye.

4) We clean the moving eyelid if brown shadows have crumbled, and again cover it with a light shade.

5) Apply the base shade of flesh-colored shadows under the eyebrow and gently mix with the shading. If necessary, duplicate the shading with the brush used to pick up the brown color.

6) In the corner of the eye we apply mother-of-pearl shadows for a beautiful glow.

7) We approach the most important element in this makeup. First, let's draw the end of the arrow, which will help us set the right direction.

This tail will follow the direction of the lower eyelid. We draw it with our eyes open and look directly into the mirror, without turning or raising our heads.

8) Draw an arrow along the upper row of eyelashes, starting from the inner corner of the eye. Please note that the shading of the shadows and the tail of the arrow are moving in the same direction - towards the temple.

We perform a smooth transition to the ponytail and our arrow is ready. With an impending eyelid, the arrow will always be imprinted, so a simple recommendation with a waterproof eyeliner will save the situation.

9) We bring the lower eyelid tightly to the lower border of the arrow and extinguish the color to the inner corner of the eye. Making a smooth transition from brown to light shade. We connect the shading on the upper eyelid and the lower one in the form of a petal, where the tail of the arrow will be in the center.

10) Paint over the mucosa in the center with a turquoise pencil, and in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe corners with brown, and execute smooth transitions between them.
