The eyes tell all the secrets

The eyes – the window to the soul. Trivial, but fact! They are a reflection of our whole spiritual world, of every hidden place in it, of every feeling, thought, and emotion. The eyes express, speak, tell. One mirror expression of what is going on in our hearts. However, let’s learn how to make them look expressive and secretive in the same time. Let`s get started!

Putting make-up on the eyes is exquisitely important part of the entire process of beautifying. However, before getting to that point, it is obligatory to make some other procedures too. First clean well the whole face and apply a moisturizing cream – make sure that you wait 1-2 minutes till it is absorbed by the skin. This will provide a secure layer for the skin and make the make-up more lasting.

The next important step is to invest regular efforts and cares for your eyebrows. If they are light and not so thick, you can highlight them with a pencil, suitable for an evening make-up. If you are blonde or red-haired, try to avoid the dark brown or black pencil, this makes the look more serious and hard. In order to highlight the line of your eyebrows, apply a very thin layer of pearl eye shadows under them. Apply this well, so that it is mixed with the other make-up consistence.

When you get to the eye shadows, first apply on the eye lid several dots, after them apply them evenly, in order to achieve a good looking equal make-up. If you use brushes, chose them to be with soft hair, so that you do not irritate and redden the delicate zone around the eyes.

After the above mentioned procedures, it’s time to the eye contour, which is usually done either by pencil or eyeliner. For a more defined fixation, please add on it a little bit of powdered shadows in the same color. In this way you will achieve more natural look and the contour will stay unchanged for the whole day. In combination with light pastel shadows the thin eye line creates a bigger expressiveness of the eye.

The last step of the process of putting make-up on eyes is applying mascara that makes your eyes look amazing. It is obligatory if you have applied shadows. An exception here make just the ladies who have long and very dark to black eyelashes, but this rule is valid on for day make-up. Put the mascara with movements from the right to the left, in order to cover all the hairs and to curve them up well. It is absolutely forbidden to use special instruments for curling eyelashes as they add serious damage to them. Also try to avoid using fat or liquid eye shadows – they are getting together in the middle of the eye lid and you start feeling your eyes heavy, which may tire them or make also cause irritations and reddening.

The make-up of the eyes can drastically change your look. Never stop experimenting, be different every single day, according to your mood and your toilet. Apply shiny shadows, in order to insert a little bit of summer mood in the dark autumn days or chose the pastel colors of the brown and the beige for an incredible vision. And do not forget – the make-up needs to highlight the eyes, and not to hide them. However, you should not overdo it. The heavy multi-layered make-up is not always so beautiful and creates a feeling for bad taste. Therefore, dear ladies, make-up your eyes, by moderately and with style too!

5 rules for a perfect make-up:

1. In order for the shadows to be long lasting, apply fond de ten in advance. Using a cosmetic fluff, apply moderately and some powder too – be aware that it needs to be in the same color. If you have accidentally put more than necessary, in order to remove it, spray your eye lids with water and carefully stick a paper napkin.

2. Usually prefer mat or opaque tones. If you like the pearl ones add them very sparingly.

3. Do not change the line of the eyebrows drastically. Clean them in such a way that you only highlight them with a natural arch. If you distinguish their contour, use your fingers to even the color

4. A little bit of make-up with the color of skin, applied underneath the eyebrow, reflects the light and makes the face look fresher.

5. Attention! If the lipstick is too bright, it creates an effect of darkening the entire tone of the make-up.
