Pageant Eye Makeup Tips - How To Do Your Own!
DRAMATIC PAGEANT EYE MAKEUP TIPS
Question: I want to play up my eyes for my Glitz Pageant competition. I've tried to copy the eye makeup in the celebrity photos, but mine just doesn't look right. Some of my colors are too sheer and no matter how much I put on, it's just not dark enough. Help!
Answer: You can learn where and how to apply eye shadows like the professionals if you practice and use a few of the basic principles outlined below:
* The amount of pigment within an Eye Shadow plays an important role. The more pigment an eye shadow contains, the more color depth you will see when you apply it.
* The texture of an eye shadow is also significant - is it a shimmer, frost, sheer, or matte.
* Another important aspect is color placement: light colors help an area appear full, while dark colors make an area recede and add defininition.
* Bright colors can be blended with darker tones to mute the brightness and add a bit of colorful accent.
* Shimmer and frost shadows look prettiest when used on the top center of the eyelid and underneath the eyebrow.
As an example: if you want to do a definining 'contour' of your eye:
1. you will need a dark eyeliner at the base of your lashes
2. followed by a light tone applied All Over the lid up to the eyebrow
3. then add a darker color in the outer corner of the lid and into the crease.
For fun, you can try adding bit of accent to your eyes:
1. place a bit of shimmer or frost on the middle of your eyelid, or
2. add a small amount of a bright color blended carefully with the darker tones you've already applied.
Apply your mascara next (and curl your eyelashes to open up your eyes).
And for all-out dazzle, don't forget a fabulous pair of Eyelashes or Crystal-Studded Eyelashes to finish your look!
