Younger with a hint of eyeliner: stop being afraid of eyeliner

Risk more

A brown or black eyeliner would have been a safe bet in Emily Ratajkowski's case, but have you noticed how a blue line enhances her brown eyes even more? Dare with a colored eyeliner, it works as an illuminator, giving light to your eyes. In this case, the shadows used should be more subtle to harmonize the makeup. If your eyes are brown, congratulations, because practically any color of eyeliner or shadow brings life to your iris: blue, green, lilac … If they are hazel brown, an aubergine eyeliner will look great.

Matching?

Not quite. If your eyes are blue, like Margot Robbie's, you can enhance them with an eyeliner of the same color, but not the same shade as the iris. Trace the line of the upper eyelid and only the middle of the inside so as not to make the eye smaller. The mask? When using a bright color, it better be black. Abuse without fear of her.

Brings a touch of light

Eyeliners lighter than the color of your eyes work as an illuminator.

Graphic stroke

Very intense and precise outlining: these are two of the characteristics that define graphic eyeliner, which has its best ally in the marker format. The key is to angle it as parallel to the lashes as possible so that it pigments well.

Invisible outline

Profiling? Where is the profiling? If you only perceive thick and very prominent eyelashes, but you sense that there is "something else", you are not wrong. It is about tightlining , a black pencil stroke that is not visible to the naked eye (it is done above, inside the upper lashes). With this "invisible" profile the look is incredibly enhanced, making the mask stand out much more. A plus: insist a lot with the mascara on the outermost lashes to achieve a fan effect and an almond eye.

The definition that is not seen

Outlining the line internally from above it will appear that you are not wearing makeup, but your gaze will be more intense. Choose a long-lasting, waterproof pencil so that the line won't rub off.

Professional nude

Gigi Hadid is another of the celebrities who, when she points to the invisible outline, enhances its effect with hairstyles that clear her face. Of course, her rule is "if I soften my look, I destroy my smile." A red lipstick enhances any look. The eyebrows, always comb them and outline them with some color if they are very light. Apply highlighter to the center of the forehead, nose and chin, not forgetting a touch under the arch of the eyebrows. Finally, if you use a white pencil on the inner bottom line, your eyes will look more crystalline.

Smokey Eyes à la carte

The intensity of smokey eyes or, what is the same, smoky eyes, should be proportional to the color of the eyes and skin. Dark skin and eyes can "abuse" pigmentation, while whiter or pinker skin, such as Cate Blanchett, it is more advisable to use a smoked in brown or gray tones. And more if it is a makeup to wear during the day. The important thing is to blur the line well and make it as clean as possible at the bottom so that it does not mark dark circles. A trick: at the end, pass a clean brush over this area.

Very intense looks

A little glitter

We know that metallic or glitter finished eyeliners and shadows are not for daily use. But in summer they are very flattering. On fair skin, the iridescent finish provides immediate light, and on darker skin they enhance the tanned effect. In blondes or light hair, better bronze and champagne tones; and in brunettes the cooler tones, such as silver, are very good. For the result to be impressive, makeup artists recommend that it also be used flush with the eyelashes below.

Precious materials

Gold, silver or copper, to apply with a brush.

Catrice Precious Pigments Loose Eyeshadow, € 4.59

Outline with shadows

If you don't have metallic eyeliner, you can use silver eyeshadow. First mark the line with a black eyeliner. And on this line, with the help of a brush, apply the shadow. It should cover the entire eye, including the tear duct. You can create a smudge effect, which takes a lot, but you have to use shadow primer so that the pigments do not move where they should not.

Pearl finish

Sticky shadows are a great option for creating these effects. If it also has a pearl finish, it illuminates the look by reflecting light.

Tricks to make a perfect eyeliner

Bet on bright colors. Black is the color we all turn to and we are missing a lot of possibilities. Colored eye pencils like blue, purple or green are a winning bet, especially in summer. They work as highlighters and make your eyes appear larger and awake . If you have brown eyes, you will give them much more life with these shades. In case they are hazelnut, an aubergine suits them wonderfully. For blue and green eyes, you can choose the same color as your eyes but not the exact shade.
Cat eyes . Cat eyes are still the most glamorous bet, especially for the night. Marker-type eyeliners are the best tool to turn to for creating eye-tearing graphic lines. The key is to put the tip as parallel as possible to the lash line and thicken the line as we get closer to the end of the eye. Once there, you have to trace the corner. To do this, follow the imaginary line of the lower eyelid and draw what would be its prolongation in the upper one. You can do it first with a pencil that is easier to correct and then with the marker.
Invisible outline. If you want to wear a natural make-up with a good face effect, make up your eyes on the inner line of the upper eyelid with a waterproof pencil and add more definition to your eyebrows with a gel. The mask can be applied in the highest doses.
