For warmer skin tones and dark hair, a natural look can be achieve with a stroke of black eyeliner and a coat of black mascara. You can have a lot of fund experimenting with different eye makeup styles and colors for a different look for every ocassion.
Natural Eye Makeup
Use neutral colours, as the goal is to enhance the eyes without looking ‘made up’. Eye shadow should belong to the same colour family as your skin tone. Eyeliner should be the same shade or a shade or two darker than eyelash colour. Opt for clear mascara or mascara that is close in colour to that of natural lashes. You will look your best with a natural look that is great for everyday wear, home, and office settings.
Dramatic Eye Makeup
For the evening, special ocassions, dramatic eye makeup is perfect for drawing attention to your eyes. From dark, smokey eyes to glitter, create a dramatic eye makeup style going bold with the eyeliner, extending it beyond the eyes. Instead, of liner on top lid only, line under the lower lash line, or smudge eye shadow under the lower lashes for a softer look. Curl lashes and apply several coats of mascara or use false eyelashes. Experiment with bright colours, metallic liner or shimmer shadow. If, you are going extremely bold with the eyes, more subdued or nude tones for cheeks and lips will achieve the best effect.
- Gorgeous eye makeup looks from the past are in vogue again, spicing up the fashion scene with popular styles. For a 1920’s look, use eye shadow in dark grey, green or turquoise and line both top and bottom eyelids with thick, black liner. For a 1930’s look, use dark shadow along the crease of the upper eyelid for a deep-set effect and blue, green, or violet shade, medium black liner, and mascara or false eyelashes. For 1950’s and 60’s eyes, use liquid liner in a thick, bold line across the top lid and two coats of mascara for a simple 50’s style. The cat eye makeup look with winged liner and a blue, grey, or turquoise shadow is another popular style. In the 1970’s the bare bare natural eyes look was in., achieved with light pastel shadows, pale blue, or silvery liner and light mascara. The 1980’s saw lots of blue eye-shadow, coloured mascara, Goth and punk styles with heavy, exaggerated makeup for the eyes.
Today, the over-done looks of the past have given way to more subdued looks, though both the natural and the dramatic eye makeup looks are popular. Whatever, eye makeup you prefer for a different look, wear it with confidence!
