Makeup for the impending century: tips and walkthrough

A drooping eyelid is a very common problem that occurs in both young girls and women in age. The fact is that an overhanging eyelid visually reduces the eyes, while it is also very difficult to apply makeup so as to make the look wide and expressive.

The beautiful half of humanity seeks to do everything possible to look great. A good helper in this matter is makeup, which, if applied correctly, will turn the girl into a queen, hiding some external flaws, one of which is an overhanging eyelid. It gives the look fatigue and makes the face sad.

A drooping eyelid or, as it is often called, an overhanging, heavy, drooping or hidden, is a special anatomical structure of the eyes, in which the upper eyelid falls on the lower (mobile), forming the so-called "hood" of the skin. This feature is congenital or acquired.

The hanging eyelid is the result of age-related changes (faced by ladies after 50 years), national traits, sharp weight loss, allergic reactions and small swelling that appeared after improperly selected cosmetics.

The upper eyelid may also hang over deep-set eyes.

In total, three types of overhang of the century can be distinguished:

• the mobile section of the upper eyelid becomes invisible;
• only a fraction of the upper eyelid is visible from the side of the inner corner of the eye;
• the eyelid sags to the middle of the cut of the eyes.

Despite the nature of the appearance, women who have this form of eye structure, face a lot of problems when applying cosmetics:

• the shadows do not hold for a long time, sliding into the fold of the eyelid;
• the ends of the drawn arrows may “break”, their outline will be lost, or, moreover, the line from the eyeliner or pencil will be printed on the upper eyelid;
• mascara stains the upper eyelid.

In the case of acquired overhang nature, this flaw can be removed by performing special exercises. Additional benefits will be obtained through relaxation, drinking pure water and taking vitamins.

The main goal of each of the professional techniques is the correction of the omitted upper eyelids.

We recommend using small tricks of makeup artists when applying makeup, so as not to get the opposite effect:

• First of all, it is worth deciding on the shape of the eyebrows. An elongated eyebrow helps visually open the eye. A thick hairline on the eyebrows should be avoided. Creating a beautiful line is best left to a specialist. Support for the created form can be done on its own.

• When choosing shadows, do not stop choosing pearly shades. These tones are used exclusively for fine lines. The result of such manipulation will be a stale look.
• Frosted shadows should be applied in a continuous coating. Focus on the shade of the iris, choosing the color scheme of shadows. In addition, the type of skin and hair color are important.

• The inner corners of the eyes can be emphasized with light shades of a pencil. Eyeliner of a dark shade needs to be applied, not reaching the middle of the eye.
• Use a dark pencil only to highlight the corners of the eyes from the outside. In addition, this area needs to be decorated with darker shades of shadow.

• Eyeliner, arrows and all clear lines need to be shaded after they are applied. The lack of boundaries can visually raise the upper zone of the eye.
• You can mask the lower sagging with the help of a concealer. However, use it with caution, as excess light shade will lead to the creation of the opposite effect.

• Dark shadows that are used to highlight the outer corners can be applied beyond the borders of the eye. Remember to use reasonable care when applying shadows.
• Stylists often use a method that helps to enlarge their eyes, making them more open. It is based on applying white shadows to the area of ​​the inner corners of the eyes and shading them with a slight approach to the bridge of the nose.

• Having painted the fold of the mobile eyelid with shades of dark shades, you can change the visual perception of the eye section, removing the swelling.
• Thanks to luxurious volumetric eyelashes, you can hide the overhanging eyelids. In this case, the upper ciliary row can be thickly and thoroughly dyed with mascara, while the lower, not counting the corners, leave unpainted. If you are the owner of rare and short eyelashes, then you can go through the extension procedure. The most important thing is that they look natural and do not cause discomfort for the eyes.

Hide overhanging eyelids using shadows, pencil or mascara. Moreover, the necessary effect will be obtained from the use of both their individual components and in combination. Applying makeup using a pencil or eyeshadow may require special skill.

This is due to the fact that you need to know where to start drawing an arrow. Makeup should fulfill its main task - to visually make small eyes large.

Drawing the arrow must begin with the center of the eyelid, gradually expanding it, raise the zone of the outer corner of the eye. Do not make the line excessively thin, as a visual sensation of several folds on the eyelid can be created. Therefore, to draw an arrow, use a pencil rather than an eyeliner.

The line on the lower eyelid needs to start from the inner corner of the eye, and approaching the outer, it should be done a little raised up.

Before starting the procedure, sharpen the tool well so that the resulting arrow is even.

As in the case with a pencil, the color scheme of the shadows should be dark and matte, so as not to attract attention with brilliant shades to the area of ​​the face that needs to be masked. But the area of ​​the inner corner of the eye can be painted with bright shadows, like the outer corner of the eyebrow.

However, closer to the center, the light color should turn into dark, and at the outer corner of the eye become pure black. Applying shades of a dark shade can hide the impending eyelid. The only thing - do not forget to shade them.

The result will not be so obvious if you use mascara without using shadows or without arrows. Therefore, an amazing result will be achieved after using a complex of these cosmetic products.

It is recommended to do cilia not straight, but slightly twisted up. This technique will help to make the eyes larger and mask the defect of the eyelid. When buying mascara, give preference to models that create a twisting effect.

Smoky Eyes makeup is considered the most preferred for ladies with overhanging eyelids.

Before you start creating the image, stock up the base for the eyeshadows or cream eyeshadows of the corresponding color palette, a flat brush to apply cream eyeshadows, a palette of natural shades, a fluffy brush for blending, a flat brush for eyeshadow, gel eyeliner, eyeliner brush, mascara.

The correct step by step instructions for creating makeup consists of the following steps:

• Using a flat brush, apply a base or cream shade on the entire area of ​​the upper and lower eyelids, you can slightly go beyond the folds of the upper eyelids. As a result, you will prepare a foundation for dry eyeshadow, which will make the color shade of the eyeshadows brighter and prevent them from slipping in a day.
• Take a palette of your favorite shades of shadows and apply the lightest on the eyebrow area with a fluffy brush.

• With the same brush, apply a layer of medium shade of shadows over the entire area of ​​the moving eyelid, slightly going beyond the crease. You can check the correctness of applying shadows in this way: look straight, relax your eyelids and check if the second shade is visible above the crease of the eyelid. If yes, then the whole procedure is performed correctly;
• With a small flat brush with the darkest tint, you can paint over the entire moving eyelid without going beyond the folds. Take a fluffy brush, mix 2 shades of shadows. This process is performed by several movements of the brush on the border of two colors until it disappears.

• Again, take a flat brush with the darkest shade, applying it to the lower eyelid. Do not leave unstained areas near the outer corner of the eye. If available, paint them with the darkest color.
• Then go to the eyeliner. Draw a little funds on the brush and apply it on the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. Wait for the first layer to dry and repeat the process again, simultaneously staining the interciliary region of the upper eyelid.
• Draw an eyeliner arrow on the upper eyelid.Do not try to make it perfectly smooth, because it will subsequently shade. A pencil can serve as an alternative to eyeliner.

• To add zest to the image, you can apply bright blue shadows to the arrow and blend it or select the darkest shade from the palette and blend the arrow with it.
• Walk with a fluffy brush on the outer edges of the makeup to get the perfect blend.
• Finally, apply mascara on the eyelashes in the direction from the roots to the tips, carefully staining. At this stage, you can either stop to add false eyelashes to give a greater effect, then re-apply mascara to connect artificial eyelashes with natural ones.

Girls of Asian appearance stand out with a narrow cut of eyes. Along with this, there may not be folds on the eyelid or there is an overhanging eyelid. Often, make-up artists call this "eyes without eyelids," but this should not detract from the other advantages of such an appearance. You can hide this feature with the right makeup.

Ambre technique is a suitable option. It is based on a smooth transition from one shade to another. Shadows of the dark palette should be applied close to the eyelashes, as you remove, the color should become lighter. A similar technique will be able to visually form the depth necessary for the eyes of Asian young ladies, who have almost no folds on the eyelids.

After 45 years, a woman begins to lose her former beauty, which can be supported by the miraculous powers of cosmetics or by the magic hands of makeup artists. At this time, problems arise with the elasticity of the skin, among which the most common is the “heavy” eyelid.

Age-related makeup is considered a separate serious science, which stylists carefully study and undergo serious practice.

The lady herself will be able to create the right anti-aging makeup, using well-chosen cosmetics:

• Powder and blush with a cream base. A similar composition is evenly distributed on the skin of the face, hiding wrinkles and other imperfections.

• Dense tonal foundation. The first deep wrinkles signal the end of a period of barely noticeable foundation. Good masking of wrinkles will require a denser tonal texture.
• A contour pencil that will replace lipstick. The pencil lays down denser, providing a lasting color. Do not forget to use moisturizers for the lips, for example, hygienic lipstick with various essential oils.
• Shadows that should replace the eyeliner, with the ability to roll and move to the upper eyelid. They better cover the eyelid area, will not clog in wrinkles and will not be printed on the eyelid.

Anti-aging make-up is characterized by distinctive features, guided by which you should create your own image:

• Eliminate the use of eyeliner due to the fact that overhanging eyelids will not allow it to settle in a straight line.
• Never use a pencil and the shadows of a red palette that will add to your eyes a feeling of fatigue.
• Do not use blue, violet, lilac shades of shadows, as they will make bruises under the eyes more noticeable.

• Ink and pencil of black sharp tones replace with less flashy, in particular, dark brown.
• Drawn makeup lines should tend up, not down. Otherwise, the masking of defects will be replaced by underlining sagging skin.

Remember that the dark color scheme visually reduces, and the light - increases and zooms. The ability to play chiaroscuro is very important for age-related makeup. Brightening and darkening of the necessary zones of the eyelid can change the size and shape of the folds, and often completely hide them.

Basically, with overhanging eyelids, the area of ​​the inner corner of the eye is covered with light shades, while dark is the area of ​​the fold and slightly along the outer edges.

Ladies at the age of 45 will not fit the round line above the eyes due to the visual aging of the face. In addition, pay attention to the edges of the eyebrows, which should not fall below the corners of the eyes. Draw the hair on the eyebrows with thin strokes of a calm color, which should be one tone brighter than the color of the shadows.

In the presence of swollen or lowered eyelids, you must carefully approach the creation of the image:

• Makeup must have naturalness;
• eyebrows should be made of medium thickness;
• choose shades of matte models with calm shades: for fair-skinned ladies, palettes of ivory and tea rose are suitable, for dark-skinned ones - beige-brown tones;

• over the fold it is worth applying shadows that are a couple of tones darker;
• the area of ​​the upper eyelids is slightly emphasized with a soft pencil and feathering;
• a small application of shadows of a light palette on a portion of the inner corner of the eye;
• at the end, apply mascara to the upper row of eyelashes.

Summarizing the features of age-related makeup for overhanging eyelids, we can distinguish the lack of "graphic", the application of soft and blurry lines.

The narrow shape of the eyes is mainly characteristic of Asian girls. You can visually increase their size using correctly selected cosmetics.

Make-up in this case is applied using a nude color palette. When choosing a primary color, give preference to beige, peach or light brown. A darker shade should be used to cover the outer corner of the eyes with an inclination of 45 °, then a line is drawn that outlines the eye.

All this must be thoroughly shaded. The same color must be applied in a small amount to the inner corners. Shade and lower eyelid - the area of ​​the inner corner with a light shade, closer to the edges of the eyes - dark. Almond-shaped eyes look advantageous with false eyelashes.

To mask the impending eyelid, having small eyes, you can use the special technique of applying cosmetics for the eyes.

Using shading, apply a dark shade towards the temple. As a basis, choose a light color that needs to be applied to the border of the eyebrows. Under them, you should also apply slightly noticeable shadows. The design of the lower border of the eye should be done this way: apply eye shadow as low as possible, blurring the borders with a hard brush.

Arched eyebrows can significantly mask overhanging eyelids in the case of deep-set eyes. The pale color of the shadows can highlight them.

The moving eyelid should be covered with an average color shade, while the dark eyelid is applied at a steep angle towards the temple with strong shading. The outer zone of the lower eyelid is also painted in dark color, the inner is highlighted.

For young women with lowered eyes, the overhanging eyelid is lifted by using the effect of the outlined moving part.

The main area is painted in a nude shade. The edge of the eyelashes must be drawn with a dark pencil and then shaded. The average color shade will outline the moving eyelid and is "brought" to the eyebrows. The lower edge of the eye is covered with an average color palette, connecting with it, but applied to the upper part of the eye.

In the case of convex eyes, the problem of overhanging eyelids can be solved by drawing an artificial upper fold. For this purpose, the entire upper part is covered with highlighter or white eyeshadow, then a fold is drawn darker. Makeup should be applied, guided by the following rule: the middle of the eyes should be left more lightened, and darkened - the inner and outer corners. They should be connected together above the previously drawn line.The base of the eyebrows should be highlighted with a highlighter.

In order for makeup to turn a young lady into a real queen, choosing a shade of shadows, consider the color of the eyes.

Brown-eyed persons with overhanging eyelids should be avoided when applying cosmetics pinkish, as well as bright yellow shades. By applying beige, peach, golden flowers, you can visually expand your brown eyes. The transition area of ​​the pale palette to dark should be slightly shaded.

When creating an evening look, the use of a more saturated color scheme is preferable to purple or blue shades.

Young women with green eyes are advised to give preference to brown, blue or red shades. You should not use flashy, but soft shades. Do not forget about the need for shading. In addition, keep in mind that makeup for a green-eyed girl should have a warm palette.

It is recommended to combine two or more shades, guided by their fuzzy gradation from light to dark.

The blue-eyed representatives of the beautiful half of humanity will be able to create the perfect image using one scheme. It is carried out in gray, orange or brown colors. Ideal is a combination of burgundy and yellow shades. Do not make borders crisp using brown shadows.

The correct daily makeup for owners of overhanging eyebrows is based on a neutral palette of shadows. Suitable for this warm brown and gray-brown shades. To highlight certain areas, use white highlighter shadows.

Additionally, dark brown and charcoal pencils are required. It is necessary to prepare black-brown or classic black mascara.

Having prepared all the necessary tools, you can go directly to the process of creating makeup:

• Using a gray-brown shade of shadows, select the area of ​​the movable upper eyelid and the eyelid from below. From below, draw a line that should not reach the outer corner of the eye.
• The entire fold should be painted in a warm brown color and create volume in the outer corner area. Outline the area above the crease.
• With brown shades that have a gray tint, focus on the outer corner, slightly darkening it.
• Use a warm brown color to highlight the middle of the lower eyelid. It is possible to exclude the strikingness of this detail by drawing a thin line over the gray-brown shadows.

• The area of ​​the inner corner should be framed by a highlighter. Carefully cover them with top and bottom.
• Fill the inner half of the moving eyelid with white shades. Cover the border of the two halves with a highlighter, creating a highlight.
• Select the highest point of the brow zone with a highlighter.
• Using a black pencil, carefully select the growth area of ​​the upper eyelashes.
• If the eyes are not very small, you can circle the area of ​​the lower mucosa with a brown pencil.
• The final step will be the application of mascara.

Choosing the tone, saturation of the color palette for evening makeup, consider the nature of the event. So, makeup made in thin, transparent and delicate notes “gets lost” among the frequent flashes of light on the dance floor.

The presence of soft, diffused lighting, which is inherent in a romantic encounter, will transform the palette of cold shades into grayish, green will change to brown. These features will help to choose the appropriate decorative range.

Like other types of visage, the evening one must begin with the application of the foundation. Using a flat brush, it is necessary to distribute the shades of a light shade with a light shimmer over the upper eyelid area, leaving the area of ​​the outer third unpainted (you need to start from the zone of the inner corner). No need to go beyond the area above the fold.

With the help of a small flat brush and dark matte shadows, 1/3 of the upper eyelid from the outer corner should be distinguished. Next, you need to extend the contour up to the intersection with the orbital line.It should turn out the so-called arrow with an upturned tip.

The same dark gamut should fill 1/3 of the upper eyelid to the orbital contour, starting from the end of the arrow. Feathering is recommended using diagonal movements. Using the same brush with the remains of dark shadows, determine the crease line on the upper eyelid, without closing the eye, moving from the outer corner to the inside without affecting the last third.

Through the matte reddish-brown eyeshadow, it is necessary to soften the border of two shades in the area of ​​the upper eyelid. This step can be entrusted to a special fluffy brush for blending.

Using the same brush, apply red-brown shadows to the fold area of ​​the upper eyelid, as well as 1/3 of the lower eyelid, carefully blending the borders of a dark brown shade.

With a small brush, cover the brow area with light satin shades, as well as the skin of the inner corner of the eye. Also use this shade for painting the lower eyelid by 2/3, starting from the inner corner. The image must be completed by painting the eyelashes with mascara, which will lengthen the eyelashes.

Makeup is considered the most important element of the image of the bride. Therefore, it is important to create it as high quality and resistant.

There are general recommendations for creating a wedding image:

• makeup should be combined with a wedding dress and individual features of the face;
• Perfect photos will be obtained with a perfectly even complexion, expressive eye makeup;
• holiday makeup should not be made too flashy, but it should be sufficiently intense;
• Do not forget to give the image freshness, as there is nothing better than a fresh blush and a happy sparkle in the eyes of the bride.

And, of course, an open look will be the result of observing certain wedding make-up techniques for girls with overhanging eyelids.

What you need to pay attention to when creating a wedding makeup:

• Persistence is the most important point of any wedding image. We recommend using the help of a professional stylist who, using high-quality products, will make a magnificent make-up that can withstand all the tests that a wedding day is usually full.
• Eyebrows should not stand out. It is enough just to carry out their correction and give them a natural shade. To compensate for the impending eyelid, it is worth a little "raise" the tail of the eyebrow.
• When creating a wedding eye makeup, use brown, lilac, pink colors. First of all, take care of the base under the shade. It will be able to provide brightness and durability and will not allow shadows to crumble and hide in the folds formed in the case of overhanging eyelids.

• Do not forget to carry out soft shading, which should go from the beginning of the overhanging fold. The fold itself, slightly above the overhang area, should be drawn using a natural shade that is several tones darker than the skin tone.
• Arrows should be applied with expanding brushes with slightly rising tips. The lower eyelid area should be highlighted with a darker palette. Also darken the area of ​​the outer corners of the eye.
• Use mascara that will add volume to black or brown. You can use false eyelashes.
• Apply a little highlighter or shining light shadows to the corners of the eyes.
• Paint your lips with a pencil and apply lipstick of the same color on top. Thus, you will get a lasting option. Lip gloss will add volume to your lips.
