Purple eyeliner. Colored eyeliner: how to wear the main summer trend

Lyudmila Polovnikova, eUrban Decay brand expert:“Fashion from the 80s is coming back to us. Plus, according to the calendar, it’s spring, which means it’s time to take out colored pencils, glitter eyeliners, bright neon shadows and not limit yourself to anything. If last year pink shades of eye makeup products were especially popular, now they have lost their positions and the first places are taken by warm caramel shades in natural tones. They freshen up the look very well and suit absolutely everyone.

Urban Decay Now let's move on to practice: For brown-eyed girls, blue shades are ideal, for example, rich dark blue, deep sea green or bright blue. They will make the color of brown eyes more expressive, as they will become amber, like a cat's.

The green color of the eyes is emphasized by pencils of brown-red, bright purple and violet-brown shades.

All shades in warm sand and terracotta tones are suitable for blue-eyed people.

But the luckiest ones are the girls who have different-colored eyes. They can afford absolutely any color of pencil or eyeliner to play with their image every day and change the color of their eyes according to their mood.”

When used correctly, eyeliner can work wonders.

However, in order for the result to meet your expectations, it is important to choose the right pencil and master the technique of using it.

How to choose an eyeliner?

How to choose eyeliner color?

1. Black eyeliner is considered a classic, but its use requires caution. For example, heavy black eyeliner will make the face of the owner of blond hair look vulgar. However, it is the black pencil that is indispensable for creating “smoky eyes” makeup.

2. Light-skinned brunettes of the winter color type can afford black, dark gray and dark brown pencil, as well as colored shades depending on the color of their eyes and shades of makeup.

3. Dark-skinned brunettes will benefit from purple, plum, black, olive, and brown eyeliner.

4. Light-skinned blondes look good with a pencil of a light gray, silver, or blue shade. Depending on your eye color, you can also use a brown pencil.

5. Blondes with dark skin should preferably use light shades, avoiding black eyeliner.

6. Owners of red hair can choose brown, bronze, terracotta, gray eyeliner. The combination of an autumn color type and emerald eyeliner will look original.

Today blue eyeliner is in fashion, however, for blue eyes it is better to choose either light blue or dark gray-blue shades.

Young girls, especially in the summer, can afford another fashionable trend in makeup - eyeliner in yellow, green and even pink.

When choosing a pencil shade, you can also focus on eye color.

Suitable pencil for green eyes either emphasizes the color of the iris, or belongs to the opposite part of the spectral region - these are shades of lilac, lilac, pink and terracotta.

Pencil for brown eyes can be of almost any shade. The nutty shade is accentuated very nicely by blue and turquoise tones.

Choosing pencil for blue eyes, you should prefer shades of brown, as well as dark gray.

Pencil for gray eyes can be any shade other than the one that completely matches the iris.

How to apply eyeliner correctly?

Any makeup will look sloppy on unprepared skin. Therefore, first, a corrector (if necessary) and a makeup base are applied to the eyelids.

1.The simplest and most common way to apply eyeliner with a pencil is a line along the upper eyelashes. Eyeliner is applied along the entire eyelid or on the outer two-thirds. If the pencil is very soft, then it will fit better on a lightly powdered eyelid.

2. Naturally, no one is born knowing how to line the eyes with a pencil. Without experience, it is very difficult to draw a smooth, beautiful line. Beginners are advised to place separate dots with a pencil along the eyelash line, which are then carefully connected to each other.

3.If the eyelashes are thick and grow unevenly, then the pencil does not lie neatly. It is recommended that instead of a line, place small dots close to each other, which will look like a rich outline.

4.If you lack experience, you should not outline the entire contour of the eye with a pencil - this technique can visually make the eyes appear smaller. A line along the upper eyelid is enough; the lower eyelid can be emphasized if the pencil is a light shade.

Draw arrows on the eyes with a pencil

• It is impossible to draw with a shaking hand, so the elbow requires support, for example, a table.
• A thin line is drawn along the upper eyelid near the eyelashes. It is easier for beginners to mark and connect the dots; more experienced ones can draw a beautiful line in one step.
• The tip of the arrow is moved slightly beyond the outer corner of the eye, while simultaneously lifting it upward. Lowered arrows will give the face a sad expression.
• If the line turns out thinner than desired, you can go over it with a pencil 1-2 more times.
• When drawing arrows, it is important to look in the mirror straight ahead, and not from the side. Otherwise, the result may be unexpected.

Unlike liquid eyeliner, which requires certain skills, almost everyone can achieve arrows on the eyes with a pencil.

How to make up your eyes with a pencil depending on their shape and size

• Almond-shaped eyes are good with arrows any thickness.
• Round eyes need to be made more elongated. Therefore, the eyeliner line is drawn beyond the edge of the upper eyelid, lifting it towards the temples. If the eyes are large, then you can line the lower eyelid, slightly lowering the line in the corners.
• Narrow eyes need to be rounded. To do this, the arrow is made thin in the corners and thickened in the center.
• With close-set eyes, the line is made wider at the outer corner of the eye and extend it beyond the edge of the eyelid. It is better to draw an arrow starting from the middle of the upper eyelid.

How to enlarge your eyes with a pencil

To visually open and enlarge the eyes, eyeliner is applied along the upper eyelid along the lash line. As you approach the outer corner of the eye, the line thickens.

Nude, beige and white eyeliners work well to enlarge your eyes.

You can apply a white or bluish eyeliner pencil to the inner eyelid; this technique will “open” your eyes.

For small eyes, dark eyeliner on the inner eyelid is contraindicated.

How to use eyeliner in combination with shadows

Professional makeup artists do not have a common opinion regarding the order of applying pencil and eye shadow. Some people apply eye shadow first, others apply pencil.

However, all makeup artists agree that shading the eyeliner is necessary so that it blends with the shadows, creating a smooth play of light and shadow.

Every professional has his own opinion on how to shade eyeliner. To do this, you can use a rubber sponge on a pencil, an elastic small brush, or even a cotton swab. If you don’t have a special device at hand, you can shade the line with the corner of a regular sponge.

When shading the pencil, you need to move from the inner corner of the eye to the outer, trying to make the line at the outer corner wider than at the inner one.

How to properly line your eyes with a pencil - kajal.

Kayal is intended for eyeliner along the inner eyelid. It does not irritate the sensitive mucous membrane of the eye, due to the presence of antiseptic components in the composition. Kayal has a soft, creamy texture that allows you to apply color to the inner eyelid without damaging it.

The color palette of kajals is usually small. Black and dark brown are used to create a dramatic smoky eye look, while white and nude are used to make the eyes appear larger.

Eye makeup with a pencil is a real art, but any woman who wants to show her face in the most favorable light can master it.
