All about eye glam

Eyes!! The most prominent makeup do that gives you confidence and adds spice to your
overall look. For an appealing makeup look eyes can never be ignored. Looks from simple
daily, natural, on the go look to full glamorous divas, require eyes to be the most fascinated
in either perspective. It can grab the attention of others and make you feel confident.
Despite saying this, one cannot deny that applying makeup on the eyes has always been an
effortful task. The artist or a beginner needs to be patient, calm and understand what
he/she could bring out for the client to standout and be satisfied. The foremost key element
to understand and become a master to this art is to understand the face cuts and eye
sockets for which the whole outcome should be comprised off.
A complete eye makeup sums up the eyebrows, the brow bone, crease, lids, outer v, inner
eye corner and lashes. Also, recent trends are on efforts in enhancing the lower lash lines
too. These areas can be mastered the way the fingers or brushes or most importantly the
sense of imagination focusing features and aiming it to be enhanced. Therefore, a slight
learn up leads to make your eyes not only sultry but also elegant. Beginners come up to
know the tricks and techniques and experiences new challenges on every do that they get
assigned for.
Makeup in my perspective is just as similar as painting done on a clear canvas. The prep and
prime along with a clear base allows the makeup artist to play around with colors, shadows,
blushes, contours, highlights, glitters and plumpy lips. The learnings through experts and
understandability of tricks to intensify the beauty looks makes every makeup challenge
possible. Be it a glam model, vampy vampire, beauty goddess, a daily out go or a look with
just makeup splashed on with a very dull and an unfascinative work. But here in this case
also where the whole look turns out to be a dull and not aww!!some one, a perfect eye do
here plays its part, turns the tables and saves the day.
The most common eye looks in the state has always been smokey eyes with or without a cut
crease and no doubt both the ways itself are the classy ones. But challenges these days have
become slight harder as mandatory mask requirements in every corner of this world has
made the eye area more and more emphasized. During the early stages of pandemic, filled-
in brows and lashes coated in mascara along with a well-defined liner had become the only
definition of makeup. Over these days the unfocused areas like inner eye corners also
grabbed center of attention of the artists experiencing inverted eye shadow designs and
ombre gradients. These focus the drama inward rather than outward and play around with
natural and light shades that happens there.
Recent trends of eye makeup look include smokey looks, rose- gold eyes, glittery looks, cat
eyes, gradient dos’, sunset eyes, colorful eyes, bronze and browns with thick flicks, graphic
lines etc... In my opinion these trends have no boundaries and could be varied on the basis
of outfits, noon time, seasons and most importantly mood of occasion. Whichever look to
be tried, basic step by step will never change. Be it a professional artist or an unprofessional.
If me, you, she, or him aims to standout with confidence and style for the day or you have a
model assigned for a ramp shot or an occasion, these basic steps glow ups the face,
featuring dramatic eyes enhancing in the lights and camera.
After a clear facewash and a hydrating serum application, eyes are first moisturized with eye
cream in order to diminish dullness and dryness. Next an eye primer is applied. Till the
primer gets set brows are filled into shape. Application of concealer on a clear primer gives
the artist a clear white base on lids but these days tinted primers have shortened this
lengthy effort a bit. In case of concealer, a powder base is fluffed on it in order to avoid
creasing and tadda!! a matte canvas becomes ready to pop up blends of shades on it. Also
correctors are applied in accordance to pigmentation before the application of concealer on
the areas under the lower lash line and inner corner of eye. Another very important key play
of this herculean task is the blend, Blend, Blend, and Blend. The more you blend your shades
properly the more finished outcome you will get. Use of correct eye tools precisely, guiders,
and blenders makes this blending task easy with convenient finish. Next is the correct liner
application as liners are the one that masks the natural eye shape. This could be elaborated
in a way that eyes with bigger sockets lineup both thick and thin liners on the upper lash
lines but for hooded or smaller eye sockets thick liners are not preferential. These days an
eye do with a blue cat liner has become way too trendy. As far as waterline is concerned,
black lines are all time favorites of everyone else. Here also small eye sockets having nude
liner or white liners on water line enhances and widens up the sockets masking up
tiredness, puffiness, and dullness.
I won’t say that use of tolls and brushes can only win the day as Pat Macgrath one of the
leading makeup artists is known for her skills of using hands rather than brushes for makeup
dos’. It’s all the technique and sense of imagination that counts. Lastly, correct pick of
product brand shouldn’t be ignored in any sense. In concern you can add quality grades of
makeup tools to your vanity but quality in products to be applied should never ever be
compromised or ignored.
Products with popup pigmentations and least to no fallouts, liquid glitters, liners, use of
correctors, exact shade selection of concealers, quality grade lashes with lash glues which
these days have two functionalities of liner and also glues up the falses too, are certain
options which every makeup freak’s vanity might have. The point of notice here comes that
grades of quality means here acceptable quality in accordance the pocket of purchase.
There are many cheap brands those which never compromised on quality providing cruelty
free products to their lovers and are ruling as drugstore ones like wet n wild, NYX
Professional makeup, Covergirl, e.l.f cosmetics etc. and high ends include Tom ford,
Charlotte Tilbury, Armani Beauty, Estee Lauder, Lancôme, Tarte Cosmetics, Anastasia
Beverly Hills Cosmetics & Beauty Nars, Huda Beauty, Morphe etc... It is as simple as the
more you try out the better you experience…..
