Today there are so many options for eye makeup that it is difficult not to get lost in this variety.

website I decided to turn to a professional stylist so that he could tell, and most importantly, show what the basic makeup techniques are and which one to choose based on the individual characteristics of the eyes and the reason for going out.

Vertical technique

This technique is most suitable for narrow eyes, as it visually makes them wider. With its help, you can create both daytime and evening makeup, depending on the color of the selected shadows and the intensity of their application. In the first case, colors from the same color group will be relevant, in the second, contrasting combinations are acceptable to create a bright image. The outer corner of the eye should be the darkest.

Horizontal technique

This method of applying makeup will be relevant for owners of round, bulging eyes - it will visually lengthen and stretch them. Shadows are applied and shaded horizontally. Arrows look good with this makeup.

Classical (mixed) technique

With this technique, shadows are applied simultaneously vertically and horizontally. In the classical makeup technique, shades of eye shadow of the same color range are most often used.

Pencil technique

Using the pencil technique, you can visually correct the shape of absolutely any eyes. Based on individual characteristics, a “framework” is applied with a pencil for future shading, which evens out the eye lines. The brush for shading should be quite rigid and dense in structure, its surface should be flat. You can darken the mucous membrane of the eye.

Every woman works on her image every day, choosing the type of makeup that best suits her face. The technique of applying cosmetics can be varied:

  • Banana;
  • Pencil;
  • Birdie;
  • Vertical;
  • Horizontal;
  • Classic.

Classic bird

It’s worth highlighting the bird’s makeup separately. It acquired its name due to its appearance. The color is applied to the eyelids in the shape of bird wings. The bird makeup technique involves a combination of contrasting colors.

Black and silver

Bird makeup in the chosen color scheme is quite easy to create with your own hands at home, having a certain skill. Otherwise, you will have to train on your own to look stunning by the appointed time.

  1. Line the upper eyelid with a black pencil, drawing an arrow.
  2. Apply silver eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eyelid.
  3. At the outer corner of the eye, draw a so-called bird. Perhaps this is the most difficult thing in creating this image for yourself.
  4. Select a point on the border of the moving and fixed eyelids, approximately in the middle of the eye. From there, start a smooth line running along the border to the drawn arrow.
  5. Apply black shadows along the created contour of the arrow with a brush and blend towards the temples.
  6. Complete the make-up by applying black mascara to your eyelashes.

Purple wings

The cold light purple shade of the shadows, framed by a dark one, looks very festive and unusual.

  1. Apply purple eyeliner to your upper eyelid.
  2. Apply a cold light purple color over the entire area of ​​the moving part.
  3. Outline the created shade with a darker one along the border of the moving and fixed eyelids. Then make a “bird” with the same color.
  4. The created wing should be light in color on the inside and almost black on the outside. An important condition is the smoothness and smoothness of all transitions.
  5. Blend the transitions thoroughly.
  6. Emphasize the lower interlash line with a black pencil.
  7. On top of the applied shadows, draw a small arrow with black eyeliner.
  8. Complete the look by adding eyelashes.

Pencil bird makeup technique

The scheme for creating this option using the pencil technique is that eye makeup is done using a pencil, not eyeshadow. It is worth saying that the instructions for applying pencil make-up are somewhat more complicated than when working with shadows. Therefore, if you are new to this issue, it makes sense to practice initially.

Cold eyes

The bird makeup technique created with a pencil looks somewhat brighter and more contrasting. When creating it, it is worth having pearlescent shimmering powder on hand. It is this that will help you shade the transitions as correctly as possible.

  1. Line the upper eyelid with a black pencil, making a small arrow.
  2. From the middle of the border between the movable and fixed eyelids, draw lines to the end of the arrow, thereby as if drawing the English letter “V”.
  3. Use a brown pencil to create the appearance of shading towards the temple.
  4. Cover the inside of the eye with a pink pencil.
  5. Carefully draw the transition and border between colors step by step.
  6. Apply pearlescent powder along the border contour with a thin, damp brush.
  7. Lightly highlight the lower eyelid from the middle.
  8. Apply mascara.
