7 Eye Makeup Hacks to Make You Look Runway Ready
If you are eyeing the runway look and want to look like a gorgeous model from one of those glossy magazines you flip through at the salon, then continue reading. Here are a few quick eye makeup hacks to make your look runway-ready in no time.
Basic prep
Clean your face and apply primer. The makeup will stay on better on your face if you care to apply a primer first. You can use a pore filling primer. This will help to fill the pores and give you a flawless base. This ultra-sheer shade that glides on your lids prevents creasing and drying and enables the eye makeup to last longer.
Get the brow ready
The Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade is a matte finish waterproof eyebrow pencil. Available in 11 different full pigment shades, this helps to fill in and define your eyebrows meticulously. A two-in-one brow pencil and highlighter, this product is an absolute must for detailing your runway eyes.
Add eyeshadow
Your eyes have been prepped with primer and eyebrow pencil. Now you need to add color. Find an eye makeup palette of your choice. If you are a beginner, you can stick to warm nude colors. Make sure you use one shade at a time. Start with a coat of the lightest color of the warm shades on your crease line, and then use the shimmery eyeshadow on the lids. Apply these with the right brushes to finish off the dreamy, feminine look. If you are not sure about wearing a dark shade of metallic eyeshadow, then stick to one shade on your eyelids. This will suit almost all eye shapes and skin colors universally.
Eyeliner
Apply a very light or white shade of eyeliner on your waterline to open up and brighten your eyes. You can use a liquid eyeliner, gel or pen liner. It creates the perfect line without much effort and stays on all day long too. On the upper lash line, you can use a dark brown or black eyeliner. Draw small dots along the edge of your eyelid close to the lashes, then connect them slowly. You cannot go wrong with this technique and will end up with perfect eyeliner.
Curler and mascara
Use your eyelash curler now to get them into a lovely shape. A clump-free mascara will highlight your eyelashes, but if you want to add more drama, you can use false eyelashes.
Eye shape matters
The shape of your eye does matter. Are they monolid, hooded, almond, round, upturned, or downturned? Understand this first, then you will be able to highlight the best feature of your eyes with the help of the makeup.
Do your face
Now that your eye makeup is complete do up your face next. Following this order is advantageous because even if your eye makeup leaves a little mess on your cheeks or nose, what follows will take care of it all. Use a light layer of liquid foundation all over your face. Apply a concealer to cover dark spots under the eyes and near the chin. Now blend in everything with a good quality brush to remove lines and contrasts in colors.
