What shadows add age, why you don't need to highlight the area under the eyebrow, and why you can't draw perfect arrows - say makeup artists.
Daytime intensive eye makeup
Ernest Muntaniol, Chanel's leading makeup artist in Russia:
- Girls think that such an image will attract attention, but in fact it will only add 5-10 years to you. Bright shadows and an abundance of black mascara are appropriate only for evening events.
Bright eyes and bright lips
Ernest Muntaniol, Chanel's leading makeup artist in Russia:
- An important rule of thumb: for intense eye makeup, you need light tones of lipstick and gloss. For luscious and expressive lips - moderate eye makeup.
Cool pearlescent shades in the area under the eyebrow
Mila Klimenko, official make-up artist of L'Oréal Paris in Russia, founder of the Nikk Mole make-up school:
- Often, girls highlight the area under the eyebrow with gray, silver and white pearlescent shadows - it looks unnatural. Nowadays, more natural makeup is in fashion, so I recommend choosing matte and nude shades under the eyebrow.
Empty space between arrow and eyelashes
Mila Klimenko, official makeup artist of L'Oréal Paris in Russia, founder of the Nikk Mole school of makeup artists:
- Many people, when they draw arrows, forget to fill the space between the eyelashes with eyeliner or pencil. This leaves a noticeable white streak between the arrowhead and the lashes. I recommend first of all to draw the space between the eyelashes and only then the main arrow.
Shadows on the "naked" eyelid
Mila Klimenko, official make-up artist of L'Oréal Paris in Russia, founder of the Nikk Mole make-up school:
- To keep the eyeshadow last longer and not crumble, it is better to use a primer or foundation as a base under the eyeshadow. Often girls apply shadows on the "naked" eyelid, and then the shadows crumble and roll. Moreover, the shadows applied to the primer give a richer color.
Dark shadows in anti-age makeup
Eduardo Ferreira, International Art Director Bobbi Brown:
- Dark shadows accentuate signs of fatigue. And the older the face, the more noticeable they are.
Lumps on the lower eyelashes
Eduardo Ferreira, International Art Director Bobbi Brown:
- With age, you should not overdo it not only with shadows, but also with mascara, especially on the lower eyelashes - the lumps accentuate the first wrinkles. To avoid clumps, use two types of mascara. For the lower eyelashes - lengthening with a miniature brush, for the upper - voluminous and lush.
Emphasis on the lower eyelid with small eyes or drooping corners
Natalia Vlasova, star makeup artist, founder of the Mosmake school of makeup artists:
- If your eyes are drooping or your eyes are small, it is important to very delicately emphasize the lower eyelid. If you make it active, the eye can go down.
Ill-conceived choice of shades of shadows
Natalia Vlasova, star makeup artist, founder of the Mosmake makeup school:
- When choosing shadows, first of all pay attention to the color of the eyes. A safe bet is a shade that matches the color of your eyes.
Closed eyes makeup
Natalia Vlasova, star makeup artist, founder of the Mosmake school of makeup artists:
- Many girls find it difficult to draw straight arrows and correctly correct the shape of the eyes just because they do it with their eyes closed. It is much easier to do this when the eyes are open - this way you see where to lead the arrow line and where you need to better shade the shadows.
