How to highlight your eyes in an (almost) natural way ?
Everyone wants to have an enchanting look, and not only in photos, but also in real life. Makeup is a great way to highlight your eyes and eyebrows. But, how to enhance your eyes in an (almost) natural way ? Here are all our suggestions for putting on good makeup without looking like it! Wearing beautiful and sophisticated makeup for a night out or a special event is becoming increasingly popular, but let's not forget our daytime looks. Undetectable makeup is currently popular with the pros. Is it possible to enhance your appearance with make-up without looking like you have made up? The answer is yes, but there are some things to take into account, especially when eye makeup and eyebrows. For a beauty treatment almost without cheating, here are our tips!
We put the package on the base
In order for our makeup to stay in place all day, we must take care of our skin scrupulously beforehand. We must take special care of our eyes, which are very delicate and sensitive. For this, it is necessary to take care to remove make-up well each evening. Avoid aging your skin prematurely and damaging your eyelashes and eyebrows by forgetting to remove your makeup at night.
When you get out of bed and/or before going to bed, we recommend that you apply a concealer treatment to relax the eyes and reduce hyperpigmentation and frequent bags under the eyes. Well-hydrated skin around the eyelids and under the eyes will show fewer signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Makeup will also last longer and look more radiant.
How to apply eye makeup for an almost natural result?
Before you start creating the perfect natural look, you should use a concealer that melts into the skin and will give a more natural look in order to conceal dark circles under the eyes. We recommend using a liquid or cream formula that melts into the skin to create a more natural look. You should apply the concealer under the eye in a V-shaped line that goes down towards the cheeks. After applying the concealer, rub it in with your finger or with a slightly damp sponge (beauty blender).
Powdered products look much less natural on the skin, which is why many people avoid them. A fixing spray must be applied to the entire face once the makeup is finished so that it lasts all day. However, if you're worried your makeup won't stay put, you can use translucent powder.
Before applying eyeshadow, use eye makeup primer or a little concealer to smooth and even out the eyelids. For a more natural look, put dark eye shadows in the closet. Instead, opt for nude and light shades. However, the best choice is to wear no eye shadow at all.
Using an eyelash curler, shape your lashes to give them a nice, subtle shape. Then you have to apply mascara to finish the look, one layer will be enough for a sophisticated style without excess. If your eyelashes are naturally black, you can safely wear transparent mascara, just to give them the desired consistency.
If your lashes are thick, clear or brown mascara is also a good option. Along with mascara, castor oil can be used to tame your lashes. This will also treat them while performing your natural beauty enhancement. Brown mascara is the most natural alternative if your eyelashes are light: it will avoid the marked appearance that black can give. A single layer is enough to avoid clumps when applying mascara.
And the eyebrows?
A light, but neat eyebrow makeup is crucial to finish a makeup look and energize a look. They are the ones that give character to the face and will perfectly tarnish a beauty treatment. In order to create a pretty line of eyebrows, they must be worked with delicacy and a lot of care. To start, it is essential to pluck unwanted hair growing out of control with tweezers. To keep thick eyebrows in place all day in a natural way, you can use a transparent gel.
When you have sparse or light eyebrows, you must fill them in using cosmetics intended for this purpose. To start, brush your brows upwards, then shape them into your desired shape. When starting out in makeup, an eyebrow pencil is the best alternative to draw your eyebrow. But, it is also possible to choose a gel or a powder to carry out this task.
Choose a shade similar to your natural eyebrow color or hair color, but a half-tone lighter for the most natural-looking results. With an eyebrow pencil, you can draw the outline of the eyebrows, but also fill them in by creating tiny hatches like so many hairs. When filling in the eyebrows, you will also create tiny oblique lines to mimic the hairs. The result will be more natural if you brush your eyebrows downwards after blending the makeup. To keep the makeup as real as possible, we recommend finally applying a transparent fixing gel.
Now you know how to enhance your eyes in an (almost) natural way. To finish your eye makeup in style, you can apply a touch of highlighter below the eyebrow and at the inner corner of the eye to illuminate the look. We will favor a product with untinted light-reflecting pigments or in a light shade. It can also be applied to the eyelids and the outer corner of the eye to open up the eyes even more.
