Eyes are not only a mirror of the soul and a way of perceiving the surrounding world, but also the most expressive feature of the female image. Therefore, makeup artists are advised to pay special attention when making up this particular part of the face. The problem of short or insufficiently thick eyelashes is now easily solved. Modern cosmetics are designed to hide visible flaws and emphasize natural virtues. But choosing the right mascara is only the first step on the road to perfect makeup. Despite the seeming ease of use, not everyone knows how to properly paint eyelashes with mascara in order to achieve the desired effect. The choice of means and method of staining depend on the condition of natural eyelashes. But there are some universal tips from makeup artists, thanks to which you can learn how to properly paint your eyelashes with mascara.
- Eyelashes have a natural protective fatty film produced in the subcutaneous sebaceous glands connected to the eyelash follicles. But none of even the most persistent mascara on oily hairs will last long. Therefore, eyelashes must first be degreased. This can be done with a light alcohol-basedtonic.
- The next step in eyelash makeup is preparation. In order to lengthen the eyelashes, you can lightly powder them before applying the mascara. But there is a modern, easier way that prepares eyelashes for makeup and enhances the effect of mascara - this is a primer for eyelashes. It is a white or translucent product that resembles a cream or gel in consistency. The primer is applied with a brush along the entire length of the eyelashes, enveloping and compacting them. This tool acts in several directions: lengthens, separates the eyelashes and gives them volume. If you curl your eyelashes, the primer will fix the curl effect. After the primer coat has set, ink is applied.
- Now, after preparation, we will talk directly about how to properly paint eyelashes with mascara to fix the effect. Experts advise applying mascara from the base of the eyelashes with quick but gentle zigzag movements. To make the makeup look neat, you need to paint over each eyelash. But do not overdo it with the lower eyelid. Thickly applied lower lashes can make your eyes look smaller. If you lengthen the upper lashes in the outer corners of the eyes, this will lengthen the oval of the eyes and give the effect of a cat's look. And in order to visually enlarge the eyes and make the look open, you must first curl the eyelashes with a curling iron, then apply one layer of primer to fix it and finally mascara. Photos with various eye makeup effects can be found on the official websites of makeup artists, where it is described in detail howcorrectly paint eyelashes with mascara.
Eye makeup, depending on the time of day, varies in the intensity of application and the brightness of the shades used. For a classic daytime make-up, owners of any eye color just need to apply mascara in one layer. Lengthening in this case will be most relevant. For an evening out, you can experiment with colors. For example, make up long and curled eyelashes with jet black, and shade the edges with red mascara.
