Makeup usually focuses either on the eyes or on the lips. Women who have slanted eyes often decide to color them. The greatest difficulties are often presented by daytime makeup: it should be light, restrained and almost imperceptible, but at the same time emphasize the dignity of the face.

Consider the step-by-step instructions for daytime makeup for slanting eyes.

• First of all, you need to apply a fairly light tone on the upper eyelid. For these purposes, choose pastel shades - light beige, milky, pinkish or yellowish. Pay attention to your natural skin color: the shadows should be just a couple of tones lighter, you do not need them to strongly contrast or absolutely merge. The tone should be applied exclusively to the protruding part of the upper eyelid, covering the orbit.
• Then you should take the shadow a couple of tones darker than your own skin tone. They are applied around the protruding part of the eyelid starting from the middle. The color should depend on the shade of your eyes, although most often they choose options in a brownish or olive palette: gray-eyed go with warm shades, and girls with green and brown eyes should choose cool options. It is especially thick to apply dark shadows on the outside of the eye, and movements in this direction can be wider.Make sure you shade profusely from all sides.
• Next, paint the area under the eyebrows with white shadows to further highlight them. For these purposes, as part of the daily makeup option, matte shades are often taken. After application, the tone should also be carefully shaded.

• The same white shades need to make up the inner corner. So the look will visually be wider and more open.
• Now it’s worth taking a liner, pencil or eyeliner in dark brown or black. Almost any arrow is suitable for holders of slanted eyes, but in everyday make-up they should not be too bright and defiant. Start drawing a thin arrow slightly away from the inner corner and gradually thicken it towards the outer. You can slightly extend the arrow and draw it in an arc.
• The final stage of daytime makeup - applying mascara. It is better to take ordinary black mascara, as well as a brush with the effect of curling and separation of eyelashes. Apply mascara evenly on the upper and lower eyelashes, especially carefully staining their tips. When applying to the upper eyelashes, gently press the brush from the middle to fix the eyelashes in a raised position.

If you are thinking about evening make-up for slanting eyes, a make-up with the effect of smoky ice might look great.

As part of the everyday look, such a bright option will be redundant, but if you choose a make-up for some special occasion, party or celebration, this is a great option.

Consider how to do a similar makeup for the evening.

• False or extended eyelashes look very good - with them the look will be even more expressive and attractive. If you want to increase the volume of your natural eyelashes, all these procedures need to be done before applying makeup.
• Start with a light tone that should cover the protruding part of the upper eyelid. Smokey ice is usually made in cold colors, so whitish, light gray or bluish shades are better suited. Moreover, if you have gray eyes, it is worth looking for a similar palette in warm colors.
• Take the dark shades of gray and circle the protruding part of the upper eyelid along the contours, making the line wider to the outer corner of the eye. Feather the dark shadows so that they cover the outer half of the eyelid, and by the middle they gradually disappear and merge with a light tone.
• Blend from the outer corner of the eye to the outer tip of the eyebrow: dark shadows should gently outline this line.
• Put light accents: with white shadows, this should be done right under the eyebrow starting from the middle to the outer tip. This will create a contrast with dark shadows, and also allow you to highlight eyebrows, give them sharper contours and visually slightly raise them. Also apply white shadows near the inner corner of the eye. If you want to especially shine at an evening event, choose shadows with a slight sheen.

• Now it’s worth doing the arrows. For this type of makeup, they are most often carried out with a soft pencil - it lends itself well to shading in the future. Start a thin arrow almost from the innermost corner of the eye along the upper eyelid, but make the line thin. Thicken it as you approach the middle of the century - it is in this place that you should emphasize, so that the eye seems to be wider, and the look is expressive and open. You need to extend the arrow beyond the outer corner of the eye and slightly round it so that it bends around the protruding part of the eyelid and merges with dark shadows on the contours.
• Lightly blend the shadows at the junction with the arrow using a sponge - this will give you a soft transition.
• Now you need to start makeup on the lower eyelid. Draw the arrow with a black pencil from the outer corner of the eye to the middle, gradually making the line thinner. Emphasize the lower eyelid from the nose is not worth it.
• Then add some dark shadows at the bottom of the outer corner so that the arrow is not too sharp.
• Apply mascara to the eyelashes by twisting them and gently pressing them with a brush to fix the curls. For greater effect, you can apply mascara several times in a row, and your evening makeup is ready.
