Smokey eyes for hooded eyes. Smoky makeup in brown shades

03.05.2020

Smoky makeup is incredibly popular all over the world and the number of its adherents is only growing every day. Girls with any eye color and shape are instantly transformed thanks to smokey eyes.

Soft transitions between colors, creating a charming haze around the eyes, are traditionally performed in black colors. But this range of shadows is more suitable for evening events; it is not suitable for every day because of its expressiveness and drama. Professional makeup artists offered a great way out of this situation - colored smoky eyes. Thus, you can choose the ideal shade for a specific color type.

Made in brown tones, this makeup look is perfect for every day; it at the same time beautifully emphasizes the eyes and does not look defiantly bright. Making a smokey eye is very easy even for a novice makeup artist, since for the convenience of girls, leading cosmetic brands began to produce ready-made eyeshadow palettes, the colors of which were selected in accordance with all color requirements.

Also, to create a smoky eye, it is very important to have a good soft pencil or black gel eyeliner. You should pay close attention to the quality of the pencil, since it draws a line in a very sensitive area - the inner mucosa of the lower eyelid. This procedure is not easily tolerated by everyone, and if a hard, scratching pencil is used for these purposes, the result may not be beautiful makeup, but watery, irritated eyes.

Don’t forget that smoky eyes (no matter what color the shadows are used) puts emphasis on the eyes, which means you should paint your lips with nude lipstick or a calm gloss.

Ideal daytime makeup option

A soft brown haze highlights the eyes incredibly beautifully, but to achieve the best results, the skin of the face should be especially carefully prepared before starting makeup. If a slight carelessness is allowed in the shadows, which gives a special charm to such a makeup look, then the complexion tone should be ideal. The step-by-step instructions for creating a smokey eye are presented for brown-haired women with light eyes; this makeup will look most impressive with this type of appearance. But using the same scheme, you can do a make-up for both blondes and brunettes, adding minor changes in the selected shade of brown eyeshadow.

Stages of creating a smokey eye:

Even out skin tone and color using foundation or other product suitable for the type of epidermis.
Apply a small amount of blush to your cheekbones.
Paint and comb your eyebrows - for this type of makeup, beautifully defined eyebrows are very important; for brunettes, a pencil that matches the color of their hair is perfect, for blondes - a lighter shade, and for brown-haired women - a tone darker than their hair.
Cover the top of the eyelids with the eyeshadow base and spread a small amount over the lower eyelid as well. If there is no base, then you can use foundation.
Apply the darkest shade from the palette (for example, from L’Oreal Paris Color rich quadro) to the entire moving eyelid, blending it thoroughly.
Use a pearlescent coffee shade to highlight the center of the eyelid; apply it with a small brush along the top of the main color.

Use warm brown to smoothly blend the transitions between colors, paying special attention to the border between the moving and fixed eyelids.
Use the lightest shade to highlight the inner corner of the eyes and the strip under the eyebrows to visually make the eyes larger and achieve a glowing effect.
Using a thin black liner, draw a neat line along the upper eyelid, moving from the inner corner to the outer.
Make an arrow along the lower eyelid using a brown pencil; the line should be quite intense; use a soft brush to slightly shade the edges of the color.
Apply black mascara with a volume effect.
Use a natural shade of lipstick to complete the smoky makeup in brown tones.

Brown smokey

Brown smoky eyes for hooded eyelids

Smokey Ice will help correct many imperfections in the shape and size of the eyes, which is why it is boldly called universal. Using this technique, it is easy to “open” the eye and make it more expressive in case of such a common problem as drooping eyelid. In general, makeup for the looming eyelid has a number of features: it should be brighter than usual and the emphasis should be on the outer corner of the eye, namely, the area where shadows are applied should be pulled towards the temples. Smoky eyes in brown tones can be worn during the day, as they are calmer than the classic black and gray version, and they are also a great option for the evening.

Smokey eyes for the impending century step by step:

Prepare facial skin for applying makeup (cleansing, scrubbing, toning and moisturizing). Since this is an evening make-up, increased demands are placed on the skin: it must be in perfect condition, thanks to this the durability of the makeup will be higher and the image itself will be much more successful. With this type of makeup, the eyes attract close attention, so the skin of the face must meet high standards.
Even out skin tone with foundation, disguise imperfections with corrector, and highlight cheekbones.
Fix the foundation with a thin layer of powder, including applying it to the eyelids. In this case, there is no need to use a primer, since the base of the makeup will be done with gel shadows.
Cover the entire eyelid with dark brown gel shadow, wipe the brush, removing any remaining shadow, and then blend the color towards the eyebrows. It is necessary to very carefully and carefully pull them onto the moving eyelid.
Apply the same eyeliner to the lower eyelid.

Fix the color on top with a cool shade of brown using a wide flat brush.
Use a blending brush to soften the sharp edge of the shadow towards the eyebrows.
Using the same shadows (cold tone) also fix the lower line of the eyeliner.
Use a soft yellow shade to highlight the sub-brow area, then make a light accent on this area using golden mother-of-pearl.
Using black gel eyeliner, draw an arrow along the upper eyelid and paint over the mucous membrane below.
Curl your eyelashes using a curler and apply two coats of jet black mascara.
Paint your lips with colorless gloss.

With age, the skin folds above the eyelids begin to droop slightly and weaken, which is why the eyes often become less expressive and lose their depth. Special makeup for drooping eyelids will visually solve this problem. Simple techniques for darkening and lightening certain areas will help give your look a sharper, more dramatic look.

Day and evening makeup for the impending eyelid

If classic eye makeup is based strictly on the crease of the eyelid, then it is absolutely not suitable for those who have it overhanging. It’s just that the fold is completely hidden by the skin, so such makeup will not give any positive effect. Therefore, the scheme is constructed in a different way - this fold is replaced by an overhang. That is, the shape of the eyelid is built directly along the overhanging part.

We do step-by-step daytime makeup for drooping eyelids and enlarged eyes:

Softly darkening the corner with an arrow and shadows will create the effect of large, open eyes.

Evening makeup techniques differ from daytime ones in the brightness of colors. Brown shades are being replaced by more catchy black, burgundy, blue and others that match the color and image.

Makeup technique depending on eye color

The technique of applying shadows or the shape of the arrows does not change depending on the shade of the eyes. But the shades of cosmetics change. For example, green can be beautifully shaded with brown and beige, but with gray and black this color will look sparse. It’s the same with almost all other shades.

Makeup for brown eyes with drooping eyelids

Eye makeup with drooping eyelids in blue and purple tones looks luxurious. Warm dark brown is very effectively set off by a cold, deep color palette. There are different application options, we suggest focusing on the simplest:

Professional design for brown eyes with drooping eyelids:

For blue and gray eyes

For sky blue eyes and all possible shades of gray, the same scheme can be used as for drawing brown ones. It is important to take into account the features of this color. All light eyes become especially expressive in combination with dark graphite shadows, orange, and cosmetics with a reddish pigment.

Bright yellow shadows in combination with burgundy colors look very interesting. If the makeup is complemented by arrows, then it is better to give preference to eyeliner in classic colors: black or brown.

Makeup for green eyes

For women with green and mixed eyes, almost all shades of the warm palette are suitable. Makeup artists advise using cosmetics with red and pink pigments, as well as all brown colors. It can be nutty, chocolate, copper, honey, as well as all known beiges (including porcelain nude).

If you work with a red palette, then you must use a black liner. Otherwise, your eyes will appear tired and dull. Alternatively, you can also choose a dark brown or gray eyeliner.

Features of makeup according to eye shape

If the owners of almond-shaped eyes do not have to worry about the specific techniques for applying shadows and types of arrows, then girls with round or convex shapes have to select special schemes.

Small eyes

Makeup for small eyes with drooping eyelids requires special care; the technique itself is extremely complex, not to mention the fact that you will have to darken almost the entire moving area. But this problem often occurs among girls of Eastern blood.

Step by step execution:

The contour of the lower eyelid is drawn first. This is done with a flat brush and dark shadows of a gray or bluish tint. To make the outlines appear as large as possible, this line is drawn under the lower eyelashes at the maximum possible distance, and then shaded;
The outline of the future arrow is outlined on the open eye. It is important to choose a shape that fits and mark it with a liner along the imaginary fold. In the future, this will allow you to quickly outline the contours;
Again, a darkened outline of an imaginary fold is drawn on the open area. A fairly dark and wide line should run along it, which will later fade and become even more obvious;
It is best to use pastel colors to highlight small eyes with hooded eyelids. Then it will turn out to be light, but neat and stylish. On top of the darkened fold, another line is drawn, but this time light - its outlines are drawn to the beginning of the eyebrow;
To complete such a festive make-up, accents in the form of bright shadows of a suitable range are placed in the outer corner and on the lower lash line. After using a wide blending brush, the shadows are drawn towards the temples;
All that remains is to complete the look with volumizing mascara, lipstick and contouring products.

Round eyes

Owners of round or bulging eyes with drooping eyelids also have a hard time - the peculiarities of their anatomy rarely allow them to shade an imaginary fold in a standard way.

Narrow and Asian eyes

Almond shape

If the upper eyelid does not hang too much over the mobile eyelid, then girls with an almond shape do not even need to do complex makeup. It is enough to apply a light make-up emphasizing the main advantages: shape and color. For this shape, you can use any recommendations, for example, draw an imaginary fold along the overhanging area or emphasize the outer and inner corners, and then extend the lines to the temporal lobes.

The most important thing to remember is that you need to draw the eyelash lines well and, if possible, use false eyelashes. This will create additional shading along the eyelid and add mystery and drama to the look.

How to do age-related makeup for an impending eyelid step by step

Light age makeup with a lifting effect is very similar to classic makeup for small eyes with drooping eyelids. Its main feature is that the imaginary fold is darkened over the open area and is brought almost under the eyebrows.

Session, stress at work, endless fatigue lead to consequences on our face. We look like we haven't slept for days in a row, and even a day off in nature doesn't improve the situation. One of the consequences of a busy working life is drooping eyelids. Naturally, this is inherited or occurs at an older age when the skin is not so elastic, but with the current turn of life, young girls are faced with this problem much faster. How to solve it with the help of cosmetics and makeup?

Makeup rules for hooded eyes

A drooping eyelid is not a death sentence, much less a drawback. Any girl has the right to present herself as a queen or goddess, because for this she will only need cunning skills in makeup techniques. A striking example of this is famous people, because they have 20 tours and concerts a month, and makeup artists manage to restore their freshness. What's stopping you from looking great? Follow the nuances and rules of makeup for eyes with drooping eyelids:

Before applying shadows, you need to use a base. Choose a highlighter or foundation of a light beige color, then the eye area will visually look lighter. Shadows with this technique will not roll up into coils.
You've heard about the rule - if there is some kind of flaw, it can be easily hidden by highlighting another advantageous part of the face? Use this technique. With drooping eyelids, you need to pay close attention to your eyelashes. Make them thick by painting them with lengthening mascara, but only the top row. In the lower part, the outermost lateral hairs stand out to visually enlarge the eye.
Having drooping eyelids, you should use makeup to correct your eyebrows. In your case, the ideal shape is raised and elongated. The thickness should not be too dense; neat and graceful eyebrows are what you need. The eyes will look more open, and drooping eyelids will tighten. To make up brown eyes, you should use a cosmetic pencil, eye shadow and gel. The first beauty product will correct the shape, fill in the missing part, the shadows will fill in the gaps and unevenness among the eyebrows, the gel will help keep the ideal shape throughout the day.

Avoid applying pearlescent shadows, as they make the eyelid heavier. Use matte textures over the entire area. If you want to refresh your look, then the only good place for pearlescent shadows is the light brow ridges.
Draw the folds and outer corners with dark shades, but going beyond the eyes is quite acceptable. Then the eyelids will look hidden inside. Makeup with the Smokey Ice effect is suitable if the colors are not deep and saturated.
Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with light, natural tones. Don't forget about the upper part of the eyelids, which is located under the eyebrows. It should also be highlighted with light shadows - beige, white, cream.
The lower eyelids should be drawn with a dark, but not black pencil, not forgetting to shade. This technique makes your look expressive and deep.
Avoid sharp, rough lines. Eyeliner and arrows for drooping eyelids are taboo, otherwise you risk adding a dozen years. Emphasizing the upper eyelids, use a soft pencil and solid shadows, which are then necessarily shaded. The tip of this line should be raised up, slightly beyond the border of the eyes.

How to do makeup: step-by-step technique

A step-by-step technique will help you create an error-free, chic or light makeup. There are 2 main types - daytime and evening makeup. The first one is suitable for work, walks, evening meetings with friends and tourist trips. Evening makeup for brown eyes with drooping eyelids will make you a seductive, fatal beauty that no one can resist. Shall we try?

Day

In everyday makeup for brown eyes, light colors predominate, which create the effect of openness, lightness, and hide fatigue. We will need 3 types of matte shadows: light (beige, cream), transitional from the first to the second color, dark (gray, chocolate). And also lengthening mascara, a pencil for eyebrows in a natural shade and soft for the eyes, foundation or highlighter. Execution steps:

We prepare the skin of the eyelids. Apply a light base and powder. Don't forget about the area under the eyes: the circles under them should be covered with foundation to look fresher.
Let's draw our eyes. To do this, take a soft pencil (if you don’t have one, use a non-black eyeliner). We draw a thin upper line of the eyes, giving them an almond shape (we slightly raise the tip at the end).

Apply shadows. Take a light shade and paint over the entire eyelid area. Using a white pencil, highlight the inner corner of the eye and blend it. Next, apply the dark shade using the “loop” principle. This is a kind of semicircle in which you need to avoid the drooping eyelid and paint the fixed crease. Rounded or angular shape - it's up to you, but don't forget to raise it higher, otherwise your look will be very tired. We take transition shadows to smooth out the transitions from light to dark shades, apply them to the middle of the fixed eyelid, filling the “loop” area closer to the end of the eye.
We line under the eyebrows with a light color, highlighter or pearlescent texture.
We line the lower eyelid halfway with dark shadows (from the outer corner to the middle). Shade and connect with the eye area.
We shape eyelashes with lengthening mascara. Paint the top row, the bottom row is not necessary.
We tidy up our eyebrows. We make an elongated, raised shape using a pencil or shadows. We fix it with gel.
Daytime makeup with drooping eyelids is ready!

Evening

Makeup in the Smokey Ice style leaves no one indifferent. With him they attend the red carpet of film festivals, film premieres, passionate and romantic dates, parties in clubs. The step-by-step technique for a bright and chic Smokey Ice is described in detail specifically for your event. You will need a primer, a soft pencil, three-color matte brown shadows, a highlighter, and lengthening mascara. Let's get started!

Skin preparation. We cover the upper surface of the entire eyelid with a primer (if not available, use a light foundation, which we then sprinkle with powder). This base will not allow the shadows to crumble, plus shading is much easier.
Let's draw our eyes. Take a soft pencil of a suitable color (similar to the main dark shade), paint over the upper lash line. Blend it upward towards the moving eyelid using an applicator brush.

Apply shadows. The first step is to correct the structure of the eyelid - a partial or completely hidden fold. Apply dark shadow to the outer corner, taking into account the entire eyelid area. Blend so that the larger moving part is dark in color. Using the same shadows, draw a line under the eye. With a lighter shade, walk along the border with the dark one, going to the outer corner of the eye. Take a highlighter and draw a line under your eyebrow. Use the lightest shadows to highlight the inner corner of the eye, blending so that clear boundaries between the shades are not visible.
Apply mascara. In Smokey Ice makeup, eyelashes should be long and voluminous. If yours, even with the application of mascara, does not achieve the desired effect, then use false ones. Then Smokey Ice's makeup will look truly complete.

Smokey eye is one of the most popular eyeshadow application techniques. It took a leading position in record time and continues to hold it for more than one year in a row, gradually expanding and forming new species. This is a favorite technique not only of professional makeup artists, but also of most girls and women.

What is Smokey Eye makeup?

Smokey eyes are also called smoky makeup. This technique differs from others by a smooth transition from dark to light color with lining of the lower eyelid.

Unlike the relief technique, which uses two or three shades of eyeshadow, smokey eye can contain a much larger number of tones.

Popular articles:

The hazy effect is created through a careful transition and careful shading. A classic version of smokey eye is considered to be makeup using black and dark gray colors. However, today almost any shade is used to create a beautiful and bright make-up in a smoky style.

Depending on the purpose of the makeup, choose the tones and type of smokey eye that is most suitable for the upcoming event. The technique is used not only for evening events, but is also actively used in daytime makeup.

Kinds

Over time, the classic smokey eye makeup technique has grown significantly and been supplemented with new elements and varieties. Smoky makeup was divided into two groups: by application method and by purpose.

Depending on the purpose of smokey eye makeup, it can be:

Classic evening;
Bright festive;
Everyday;
With arrows;
With shimmer.

In most cases, these methods are combined to obtain a more effective image. This way you can make a bright smokey eye with arrows or a daytime one using shimmer. At the same time, makeup can be given any shape, from an elegant oval to a strict oblong.

Based on application methods, smoky makeup is divided into the following subtypes:

Pencil method;
Using shadows;
Mixed style.

Initially, smokey eyes were applied exclusively using a soft, wide pencil, which was then shaded. Then they started adding shadows on top of the pencil, and, ultimately, the fastest way was to apply only shadows.

However, many makeup artists still adhere to the second method of applying smokey eye, since it is the most durable. A huge selection of pencils of various shades, nuances and textures allows you to significantly diversify your smoky makeup.

Selecting the color palette of shadows

With the help of smoky makeup, you can highlight your eyes, emphasize the color and shape of your eyes, and focus attention on the oval of your face. The choice of color palette for smokey eye depends on many factors:

Skin tones;
Hair colors;
Eye shade;
Makeup appointments;
Face shapes;
Eye shape;
Hairstyles.

Girls with blond hair Too dark a smokey eye is contraindicated; such tones will look vulgar in combination with bright locks. It is best to perform makeup with shadows in the following shades:

Beige;
Brown;
Blue;
Pink;
Lilovykh;
Golden;
Champagne.

Blondes are more suitable for a nude or colorful option, as well as winged lines and shimmer. It is recommended to choose cream or matte lipstick in delicate shades.

For brown hair The most relevant will be the bright colors of smoky makeup:

Purple;
Emerald;
Blue;
Violet;
Fuchsia.

Smokey eyes for fair-haired girls should be done using mixed techniques. Brown shades are also suitable, and the black version should be replaced with gray, blue or bronze shades.

For dark-haired girls Absolutely any type of smokey eye is suitable, as are the methods for applying it. The following shades are suitable for girls with dark hair:

Black;
Silver;
Chocolate;
Violet;
Copper;
Sea green;
Indigo.

Among other things, rich lipsticks with a matte or satin finish will help you create a stunning look. Lipstick shades: dark pink, cool red, marsala, burgundy, amaranth, crimson.

Almond shaped eyes A smokey eye with a pointed and upturned corner is suitable. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the fold between the moving and fixed eyelids. Shiny shadows with shimmer will look especially interesting. A light shine will help to visually “open up” your eyes.

With close-set eyes You need to apply light shadows to the inner corner of the eye, and dark ones to the outer corner. For far-set eyes shades are applied in reverse order.

In cases of asymmetry of eye shapes It is necessary to use bright colors, as well as highlight the crease between the eyelids and shade the area near the eyebrows. This simple technique will help visually equalize the shape.

For makeup for small eyes You will need light shadows to help visually enlarge them. In this case, it is better to apply dark shades exclusively to the moving eyelid and darken the outer corner of the eyes. At the same time, it is important not to paint over the lower eyelid, otherwise the look will narrow.

Too big eyes dark nuances and classic smokey eyes are suitable. Makeup can be complemented with winged lines, but it is not advisable to use shimmer and pearlescent shadows, and you should not apply highlighter.

With the impending century It is important to carefully shade the shadows throughout the eyelid, without highlighting the crease between the moving and the fixed. The overall tone will help even out the texture of the skin without focusing on its imperfections.

Smokey Eye Makeup for Blue Eyes

Creating a smokey eye makeup for blue eyes directly depends on the shade they have. If a girl wants to emphasize green nuances, then she should choose golden and brown shades, perhaps with a green or gray undertone. Gray-blue eyes will help highlight blue nuances, while brown eyes will help highlight darker copper tones.

Smokey eyes for blue eyes are available in the following colors:

Gray;
Brown;
Pink;
Silvery;
Golden.

For gray eyes, smoky makeup in black, sand, dark gray and dark purple shades is more suitable. Make-up in golden-brown shades and with arrows will look interesting.

Daytime makeup “Smoky Eyes”

The most suitable shades for daytime smokey eyes:

Peach;
Lilac;
Pink;
Beige;
Honey;
Bodily;
Light brown;
Cinnamon;
Chocolate;
Light grey;
Golden;
Metallic.

To achieve the perfect result when creating a smokey eye, professional makeup artists recommend using at least two shading brushes and carefully preparing the makeup base.

Basic rules for creating a daytime “Smoky Eye”:

Be sure to use concealer. It can also be applied to the eyelids to make the shadows and pencil fit more comfortably and last longer;
Under the shadows you should apply a special primer or transparent fixing powder;
Apply dark shades exclusively to the outer corners of the eyes, light shades to the inner corners, and medium shades to the crease of the eyelid;
Carefully blend the shadows to create a hazy effect;
When adding arrows, it is better to use a soft pencil, which is better to shade.

The outer corners of the eyes should not simply “break off”; they should also smoothly transition into the natural skin tone. In this case, it is better to give the corner an oval shape, slightly lifting it up.

Minimalistic “Smoky Ice”: step by step

You can create a minimalist smokey eye makeup in black tones for every day. It is created using black kyle and pearlescent champagne-colored eyeshadow. You will also need two brushes: hard and soft.

Step 1: preparing the base. First of all, we prepare the skin of the eyelids for further application of makeup. For daytime smokey eyes, in addition to standard procedures and the use of foundation or concealer, you can resort to special matte flesh-colored shadows; it is recommended to choose a cream base.

We cover the entire eyelid with them to hide minor skin imperfections and for easier and more convenient application of a pencil or pencil.

Step 2: Apply kajal. Kayal is a soft pencil designed specifically for creating a contour around the eyes. Take a black kajal and draw a thick strip along the growth line of the upper eyelashes. Draw a narrower line under the lower eyelid.

Step 3: shading. Using a narrow, stiff brush, blend the kajal with gentle movements from bottom to top to give a hazy effect and create a light shadow on the eyes. At the same time, we try to only slightly enlarge the line; it should not completely cover the moving eyelid. We do the same for the lower eyelid.

Step 4: Adding Shadows. Choose the most natural shade of eyeshadow, possibly with a bronze or copper undertone. The ideal option would be champagne or peach-colored shadows with mother-of-pearl. Using a medium-sized brush, add a shade on top of the “blurred” kajal along the upper and lower eyelids, then also blend it.

Step 5: Tinting eyelashes. For a daytime smokey eye, it is better to choose black mascara. It will perfectly complement your makeup. It is necessary to paint both the upper and lower eyelashes, and this should be done carefully so that they do not stick together.

Natural shades of lipsticks with a satin or pearlescent finish are suitable for a minimalist smokey eye: nude, peach, light pink, fawn lilac. A light gloss on the lips will perfectly complete the look.

Evening makeup “Smoky Ice”

Evening smokey eyes include classic and bright styles. The standard version of smoky makeup uses black and gray eyeshadow colors, which are given different shapes using a brush.

For a colorful evening make-up, various shades are suitable:

Emerald;
Purple;
Burgundy;
Chocolate;
Blue.

You can create a hybrid of classic and bright smokey eye. To do this, outline the eye along the contour of the upper and lower eyelids with a black pencil, then carefully shade it. Next, shadows of rich color are added from the edge of the eyelid to the eyebrows. The lightest shade of shadow is added under the eyebrows and also shaded.

Purple-black evening “Smoky Ice”: step by step

Making a smokey eye for an evening celebration using mixed media is quite easy, even without special skills. To do this you will need a soft black pencil with a purple tint, dark purple eye shadow and two brushes for shading.

Step 1: base. Prepare the base for makeup: apply concealer and setting powder. Then we take a soft pencil and carefully outline the moving eyelid. Then we draw a thin line under the lower eyelid so that the tip coincides with the upper corner.

Instead of a regular pencil, you can use kajal of a similar shade.

Step 2: primary shading. Using a medium hard brush, blend the pencil. Then we take dark purple shadows and add a little on top. You can take shadows with a pearlescent tint to create a slight shine. We also shade it, giving it an almond shape.

Step 3: final shading. Using a large brush, carefully blend the shadows on the eyelid, specially moving from bottom to top onto the fixed eyelid. You can add a little more dark shadow to the outer corner of the eye to add depth to the look.

Carefully blend the bottom line with a hard brush, moving the edge beyond the eyelid and connecting it with the top shadows to give the desired shape.

Step 4: Eyelashes. We take black mascara, other shades will look out of place and will simply get lost against the background of the makeup. Carefully paint the upper and lower lashes from the very base.

Lipstick for an evening smokey eye can be chosen in both nude and rich tones. It is desirable that the undertone or shade matches the main color of the makeup. The following lipsticks are suitable for the smoky makeup described above:

Fuchsia;
Purple;
With a purple undertone;
Wine shade.

For better fixation of shadows and makeup in general, makeup artists advise using a special spray that helps consolidate the result and prevents the makeup from crumbling.

Main mistakes

When applying smokey eye makeup, it is extremely important to take into account all the subtleties of the process in order to avoid errors in the process. However, sometimes even the most professional makeup artists fail to avoid them.

Main mistakes when creating smokey eyes:

Use concealer only at the beginning of makeup. Concealer is necessary not only for preparing the foundation; it can be used to correct sloppy lines and hide crumbling shadows under the eyes;
Lack of primer for base. A primer is necessary so that the shadows do not crumble or crease during the day;
Neglect of natural shades in the palette. Even a small amount of nude shadows will help make the transition between colors smoother;
Too thick layer of shadows or kajal. You should not outline your eyes with a dark shade several times, this does not contribute to more convenient shading;
Lack of fixation and fixation of cream shadows. On top of the shadows and pencil with a soft texture, it is imperative to apply a little crumbly dry shadows of the same shade;
Insufficient shading. Clear lines in smokey eyes are unacceptable, with the exception of arrows;
Incorrect application of shadows. Depending on the shape of the eyes, different corners of the eyelid are lightened and darkened.

After applying makeup and shading, it is very important to re-trace the dark contour along the eyelid. Many girls ignore this rule, although the overall effect of the makeup depends on it.

Also, special attention should be paid to the choice of lipstick and eyebrow design, otherwise lips and eyebrows will be lost against the background of rich makeup, will look faded, and the image will seem inappropriate.

As we age, our eyes become less expressive as the skin on the eyelids weakens and begins to droop. But while in some women this can happen after 40, in others a heavy eyelid is simply a feature of their appearance.

A drooping eyelid makes you look sad, so not all girls like it. However, some famous actresses have just such a trait, and this does not affect their fame and charisma. Therefore, there is no reason to worry. The right makeup for the looming eyelid will turn this feature into a highlight. Undoubtedly, makeup artists help the stars, but don’t be afraid, this kind of makeup is quite easy to do at home. You just need to make a few strokes for your face to regain its freshness and youthful appearance. Let's look at how to properly do makeup for drooping eyelids.

General rules for doing makeup

By lifting the visual outer corner of the eye with the help of cosmetics, you will ensure that the heaviness of the eyelids will not be visible. The use of dark shadows serves as a concealer. The drawn corner, rising from the eye to the temples, changes the shape of the eyes.

Eyebrows are of great importance in this type of makeup, so they need to be adjusted correctly. Too thick eyebrows will make your look even heavier; thin eyebrows are not too good. Here it is important to find a middle ground and make sure that the eyebrow line distracts from the heavy eyelids.

A subtle curve with a raised outer edge will look interesting and give more expressiveness to the eyes. Remember Marilyn Monroe, who did exactly this eyebrow makeup. The eyebrow break is made in the outer corner of the eye. But before you do that, it's better to experiment with the pencil to see if it will look good on your face or not. Remember that beauty is achieved only through experimentation.

Choosing the right shadows will do a great job. Light, natural shades are most suitable as they make the eyes appear larger. Both shades of brown shades and those with a blue tint are suitable for blue eyes. Beige and pink tints on the eyelids will also look great on blue eyes. Brown-eyed people can wear any shade of eyeshadow. Both blue and lilac shades, as well as warm beige or brown, suit them. Green-eyed eyes look incredible with walnut shades and beige shades. They can also try experimenting with lilac, lilac and marsala shades.

Pearlescent shades are not suitable for this type of makeup for anyone. But matte shadows will help solve the problem. Light shades should be applied to the upper overhanging eyelid, and darker shades should be applied a little higher, where the brow bone is located. For the lower eyelids you need to take a darker tone.

Eyelashes will receive all the attention if they are thickly painted and the heavy eyelid simply will not be noticeable behind them. The outer corners of the eyes stand out more intensely. Lift the ends with an eyelash curler. False eyelashes will be appropriate for evening makeup.

Dark eyeliner will help hide heavy eyelids. The arrow should be quite dense, starting from the middle of the eye and scattering as it rises to the temple. A line that is too thin will make the eye look even heavier. But you shouldn’t make your eyeliner too harsh, so it’s better to use a cosmetic pencil rather than a liner. The arrow should not be interrupted; it should also expand towards the end of the eye. The lower eyelid is lined lightly with pencil or eyeliner.

Using concealer, you can remove any imperfections under your eyes, such as bruises or puffiness. But no one has yet canceled good sleep, so you still need to get enough sleep, otherwise no concealer will help.

Before you start doing makeup, you should prepare all the accessories: day cream for the face and eyelids, base foundation, eye shadow, sponges or wet wipes, eyebrow pencil or brush with water-permeable gel, lipstick with lip pencil, mascara, loose powder. This is the basic foundation of any woman's makeup bag, but this list can be expanded depending on personal preferences.

Makeup tricks for the impending century

Shadows do not last long; they blur before the eyes and accumulate unevenly in the folds of the skin. Therefore, you need to apply a primer, or at least foundation, to your face and eyelids.
The Cut Crease makeup technique just helps to hide the piquant feature of the eyelids. This technique involves darkening the folds near the eyebrows and the fixed eyelid with shadows.

Smokey eyes are another technique that also helps hide the problem. But it must be done skillfully. The upper eyelid is painted in a light tone, and the lower one is slightly darker. Smokey Ice makeup is most suitable for going out.

A highlighter will help distract from the peculiar structure of the eyelids, which will highlight the area in front of the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes inside.
If you don’t have time for makeup for drooping eyelids, then you can use a distracting maneuver - highlight your lips brightly. At the same time, eyelashes should not be emphasized too much.

To hide wrinkles or circles under the eyes, you should use a concealer that should be slightly lighter than the base skin tone. But here it is important not to overdo it, since an excessive layer of cosmetics will visually intensify the problem.
During the day, eye makeup with drooping eyelids can darken and this always looks bad in photos.

To make it less noticeable, it's best to wear a base that's a little lighter than what you normally use for your skin.
Try to apply shadows with your eyes open, as with closed eyes it is difficult to evaluate your work objectively.

Makeup mistakes

Inept application of makeup will only highlight the disadvantages. Let's try to figure out what not to do:

Under no circumstances should shadows be lacquered or pearlescent; on the contrary, they will highlight the drooping eyelid that you want to get rid of. A little pearlescent shade can be applied near the eyebrow. Forget about glosses; they are unacceptable for heavy eyelids.
If the arrow is lowered down and not up, then the look will seem unkind. A round and straight eyebrow arch will also not add beauty to your makeup and can even make it look ridiculous.
You should not use liquid eyeliner as it is difficult to blend. It's better to just take a pencil. Shadows also need to be carefully shaded, so don’t use liquid ones. If you don't shade the shadows, then the situation with the looming eyelid will only get worse.
If you decide to make your lips the brightest spot, then do not try to express your eyes too much with makeup.
Poor-quality cosmetics lead to makeup deterioration too quickly, it smudges and all efforts are nullified.

Consider makeup options for drooping eyelids

Day makeup

All you need is a pencil and ink. The arrow, starting with a thin line from the middle of the eyelid, should be thicker at the end. This rule is common to all makeup for drooping eyelids. The lower eyelashes do not need to be painted at all, but it is better to paint the upper eyelashes well.

Light shadows are applied to the eyelid, the outer corners are highlighted with cream shadows with a slight pearlescent effect. Eyeshadow in brown shades will help make your eyes more expressive. It is enough to decorate the entire upper eyelid and a little lower with brown shadows.

Narrow eyes

Your task is to make such lines to form the letter V. One line is drawn above the upper eyelid, where the crease runs, and the other on the eyelid. It is better to use a brown or gray pencil. All lines must be shaded with a special brush. Highlight the inner corner of the eye with dark, light shades.

The moving part of the eyelid is painted with light shadows; their border should be on the crease. Dark shadows are applied to the lower eyelid and carefully shaded. At the top, the eyes are outlined with a gray pencil. It is better to curl your eyelashes with a special device and coat them thickly. It is this kind of makeup for narrow eyes with drooping eyelids that will make the image harmonious and distract from the peculiarities of the structure of the eyes and eyelids.

Round eyes

When doing makeup for round eyes with drooping eyelids, first of all you need to make your eyes smaller and make them more oriental. You will need a minimum of cosmetics. A pencil will help you draw clear lines that will hide the imperfection. Make a small neat arrow, and you can discard the shadow.

Small eyes

To do the right makeup for small eyes with drooping eyelids, you need to paint the lower eyelid with gray shadows and shade them from bottom to top. This way the eyelids will appear more raised, and the gaze will bewitch with its depth. Long eyelashes make your eyes appear larger, so try to apply a thick layer. False eyelashes, whole or in bunches, will also improve the situation. Use a soft pencil to lightly line your lower eyelid.

Set eyes

In order to do makeup for deep-set eyes with drooping eyelids, you should choose shadows that are not too bright and not too faded. Their shade should be medium. Apply shadow just above the crease. Draw thin arrows as close to the eyelashes as possible. The arrow at the beginning of the eye at the bridge of the nose should be thicker than at the end at the temple. Eyelashes should be thick, they should be painted only at the top, it is better to leave them untouched at the bottom. Thick eyebrows and bright lipstick will create the desired effect. Set eyes do not need shadows.

evening make-up

Artificial lighting, which is present in the evening, can play a very cruel joke and make the face look nondescript. Therefore, it is worth doing bright evening makeup, rich in colors. The shadows should not be brown, as is customary, but burgundy, black, blue, but in no case pearlescent or with sparkles. The eyes also stand out brightly; you need to use eyeliner along with mascara.
