Makeup for green eyes

There are very few green-eyed people on Earth - only about 2% of the world's population. There is an opinion that this is connected with the Inquisition. After all, green eyes have a special attractive power: they were even composed of poems and songs, mentioned in legends and fairy tales.

The time of empty superstitions has sunk into oblivion, but magnetism has remained. And now the lovely owners of emerald eyes are looking for ways to emphasize natural beauty with makeup.

Makeup artists distinguish a rich range of shades of green eyes. Each is characterized by an individual selection of color solutions using shadows. It is based on emphasizing the natural beauty and depth of the eyes, giving them shine and expressiveness. Therefore, the first step in the successful makeup of green-eyed girls will be to determine the shade of the iris.

There are only four main levels:

1. Light green with golden veins. They are somewhat reminiscent of the rays of the sun. This is the most common shade. There is a little secret when choosing palettes for such a gradient: the color of cosmetics cannot be highly pigmented, they do not use tones more saturated than the iris. It is important to stay exclusively light options;
2. Saturated green. It is the darkest of all shades of emerald eyes.Warm browns are ideal. It is better to avoid cold ones - they give the look transparency;
3. Green with a grayish sheen. This is a very soft, attractive gradation. Its owners need to choose the most delicate palettes of shadows. In some cases, you can use light green. But you need to be very careful not to interrupt the natural color of the eyes;
4. Azure green with turquoise undertones. In the people they are sometimes called green-blue. But it is not so. The most remarkable thing for their owners is that eyeliner and shades of blue are perfect for them.

No less important is the classification by color types. But they are by no means different; rather, one can draw a certain parallel. All four points correspond to the "seasons", from spring to winter.

1. Girls of the "spring" type are characterized by everything light - skin, hair, eyes. There may be freckles. This is a warm color type, so when choosing a color scheme, you need to focus on warm shades. This applies not only to makeup, but also to clothing and style in general;
2. Summer. Girls of a cold color type. In addition, this is a type of contrast - it is characterized by light skin and dark hair, or light skin and blond ashy hair. "Summer" is a large part of the population of women in Russia;
3. Autumn is warm. The skin is rather light, pale, hard to tan. Hair - with a golden tint. Among the owners of green eyes, belonging to this color type outweighs. But blue-eyed girls are automatically excluded;
4. Winter. Cold type. Saturated dark hair, light skin, easily tanned - a classic example of a "Winter" girl. There are no representatives with red hair in this color type.

Age makeup is not a phrase offensive to a woman at all. Many begin to use it after 30 years, as soon as the first clearly visible wrinkles appear. Here you can and even need to use cosmetics with a lifting effect, do not forget about proper care and thorough preparation of the face.

When applying beauty products, in addition to the eyes, very active attention is paid to tinting agents. Often girls skip the tips about the base, but this is also quite an important product for the skin - timely protection prevents many skin problems in the future.

And, of course, do not forget about the outfits. If the clothes are casual, then the eyes should not stand out brightly and be an inappropriate bright spot. The whole image as a whole should be done with restraint and skill. When choosing an option for an accent on the eyes for an evening dress, they are already guided by other rules: combinations of colors, the decision to focus on the highlights or stick to the classics.

And now we will understand more deeply in matters of color selection.

An acceptable life hack is a spectral circle. In it, all colors are numbered, related gradations are located next to each other, and successfully harmonizing opposite each other. You should choose the tone of the eyes and see what color of the palette is opposite it. As a rule, these are contrasting, but in harmony with each other tones.

Three-color palettes are ideal for daytime makeup.For evening, you can use more or make a classic smoky-eyes shading.

• Irises that combine two tints and a shade can be described as hazel-green, all gradations of purple are perfect, green is closer to khaki, swamp green, pale lilac shadows;
• With a predominant emerald color, the eyes are already considered green-brown. In this case, you should choose peach, copper, golden shades;
• A fairly common type are gray-green tints in the eyes. The main rule for their owners is not to use blue shadows. Not just bluish, but also including all tones and semitones in the list: blue, azure, turquoise, sea waves. You should choose the colors of gray, black, green, peach, plum, cold pink shades. The main rule is that blue does not fit gray, avoid it on your eyelids;
• Has blue-green eyes. They are often referred to as chameleons. Everything is simple here: any light shades will do;
• There is also another type - the eyes, which are called cat's. These are such golden-green overflows in the iris. They have quite a lot of blotches of different shades of yellow. Makeup artists advise using shadows slightly lighter than the shade of the iris. And if the girl has red hair, then golden shades are perfect;
• As for solid emerald eyes, with or without inclusions, the following rule applies - use the colors that are present in the iris. Whether it is shades of green or consonant with splashes of yellow, golden, brown.

To apply flawless makeup, a green-eyed girl will need a basic set of cosmetics - foundation, shadows, eyeliner (if you want to do an oriental make-up or just emphasize the volume of eyelashes with arrows), mascara, eyebrow tinting, lipstick or gloss of a suitable style.

There are colors that do not suit green-eyed girls. And these enemies need to be known in person:

• Blue and all its shades. For gray-green eyes it is not suitable categorically, but for a shade of a sea wave you can use it. The rest of the eye shades do not harmonize very well with blue shadows;
• Black. Arrows, eyeliner of this color can significantly weight the look. Therefore, it is better to use dark brown colors of pencils, eyeliners and shadows. This rule applies to daily options, but when creating a bright festive make-up, black eyeliner would be quite appropriate. Especially for big eyes. Long arrows will look very expressive;
• Pink. This is not a categorically inappropriate color - it still suits some owners of green eyes. But it is better to use cold, light shades of pink. And forget about it if you have dark skin;
• Silver. Let's leave it to the owners of gray eyes, and green eyes get golden and emerald shades. There are a lot of great ideas with shimmer eyeshadows as a makeup highlight;
• Cold bronze shades are best avoided - they will give the look of heaviness. And deep-set eyes will not highlight, but on the contrary, they will make an exhausted look.

As for shimmery and matte shadows, you can use both. They won't ruin your makeup. It all depends on the type of event for which it is intended.Shimmery is better for evening, and nude for everyday.

Eyeliner. Green-eyed girls are not recommended to use black eyeliner. It is better to replace it with dark brown or charcoal gray. But, whatever one may say, black is best suited for evening makeup, so it should be in the arsenal.

Also palettes can be selected, focusing on hair color. For brown-haired women and red-haired girls, brown shades are suitable, for brunettes - shades of lilac, peach and purple. Blondes - olive tones with a golden tint.

The main rule for creating an impeccable make up is that it must be relevant to the event or place for which it is performed. For work, for every day, gatherings with friends and parties, makeup styles will be quite different. The main thing is to clearly observe the line between them.

It is suitable for everyday use - for work, business negotiations, for an "unexpected" meeting with old acquaintances. The peculiarity of this makeup is that it is almost invisible, very light. Restraint, modesty, naturalness - three pillars. Do not use bronzer, shimmer shadows, bright shades from the palette for correction. The same technique is used to perform it for a round face, and for an oval, and for other types.

When performing it, makeup masters are not afraid to use the most catchy and shining gradients of shadows and eyeliners. Such a make up is done for a party, birthday, date.

When creating it, do not be afraid to experiment - often the more shades shaded, the better. The main rule is that everything should be done neatly and no blots remain.The main colors to use are those that harmonize with each other and reflect the colors of the iris. The spectral circle will serve as a faithful assistant.

It is in this type of makeup that expressive arrows are used, which gives girls some oriental beauty. You can make an Arabic make-up, brightly highlighting the eyes and eyebrows. The entire contour of the eye is drawn, in a circle, and a bold black arrow is made on top. Complete the look with golden shimmer shadows.

If you know that there will be pale lighting at the event, then you need to do a discreet make-up, which will still give some emphasis on the face. This is achieved through the use of transitional shadow colors. Shimmer suits, black arrows are also appropriate.

This type of makeup is gaining more and more popularity. This is a gentle natural make-up, which can be both everyday and evening option. This option is ideal for summer - there is no need to apply a lot of makeup, you adjust the amount of foundation yourself. Their main task is to create an even tone of the face, and not a wax mask.

The main technique for applying decorative cosmetics to the eyelids is one, and it is quite simple - three gradients of a harmonizing tone are selected - a dark shade, a little lighter and transparent. Through the entire movable eyelid, slightly going beyond the outer edge of the eye - in order to lengthen it, the darkest tone is shaded. Under the eyebrow, up to the moving eyelid, a medium tone is applied and carefully shaded. And they complete the most difficult stage with a predetermined transparent shade along the outer edge under the eye (lower eyelid). Complete the entire make-up with eyeliner and mascara.That's all the description of beautiful makeup in stages. Let's take a look at each type step by step.

To make a daytime make-up, the following operations are performed:

• Masking skin imperfections. The main base is applied, a dense concealer and tonal sunscreen are used;
• Be sure to use the base under the shadows. We do not need all the efforts to roll into unpleasant lumps and accumulate in the corners of the eyes by the end of the working day;
• On the upper movable eyelid, a thorough shading of light, sometimes white shadows from the palette is carried out. These are gold, beige, pale pink;
• To emphasize a clear line of the eye, a thin line is drawn from the middle of the eye to the outer corner. Sometimes it is more convenient to do it in the opposite direction. Tools - a pencil or a thin brush. It is not advisable to make the line dark, in the classic recommended version it is green;
• Symmetrically, the same operation is performed along the lower border of the eye. It is correct to take the gradient a little lighter than the one that was used earlier - such a manipulation will make the eyes more open;
• The second layer of shadows is applied. In the recommended example, it is swamp green. When choosing shades on your own, it is not recommended to take contrasting colors;
• Everything is carefully shaded, eyelashes are covered with mascara.

Nude makeup is done as follows:

• Primer, base for make-up are used. Although this is the most natural of all options, the skin tone must be evened out. Therefore, do not forget about foundation and powder;
• For nude make-up, delicate pastel blush is used. They are applied gently with a fluffy brush on the apples of the cheeks;
• As for the eyes, they are emphasized with a dark brown line at the growth of the eyelashes.It is best to use a pencil, not eye shadow or eyeliner;
• Mascara is applied in one layer only. Often they use not even black, but brown mascara;
• If desired, you can curl your eyelashes with tweezers, but this is not necessary;
• If there is a desire to use shadows, then you should choose pastel pale shades or even white ones;
• Be sure to correct the eyebrows. But this is done with shadows, and not with a special wax pencil - everything should be natural;
• Lip gloss is not applied. Use matte lipstick in gentle tones and blend it with your fingers.

How to do evening makeup:

• Evening out the tone of the face. Persistent tonal products are used for practical reasons - you can sweat, and low-quality cosmetics will gather in lumps;
• Drawing and edging eyebrows in the usual way;
• A shimmer or light shadows are applied under the outer tip of the eyebrow;
• A warm and juicy shade of shadows is selected from the palette suitable for the natural tone of the iris, which is shaded over the entire milestone, reaching the eyebrow;
• A darker tone is applied to the moving part of the eyelid with a second layer, perhaps a golden or shimmery gradient from the palette;
• You can also highlight the corner of the eye near the bridge of the nose and down with golden glitter shadows. Be sure to shade everything well;
• The lower eyelid under the eyelashes is highlighted with brown eyeshadow colors. Shaded;
• A black wide arrow is drawn with liquid eyeliner. Its tip extends beyond the movable eyelid by 0.5-1 cm and rises up;
• Mascara is applied in 3 layers;
• Lips should be highlighted with bright lipstick only if there are neutral shadows on the eyes and they are not a bright accent of the image. Then lips can become such an accent.In all other cases, use a soft matte lipstick or colorless gloss.

Professionals have their own secret maneuvers for getting the best effect from the use of decorative cosmetics. Many of these tricks are kept in the strictest confidence, but some are still available.

To successfully accentuate small eyes, the main task is to open your eyes. You can not do smoky makeup, "cat's eye", sum up from above and along the lower mucous membrane of the eye. Such manipulations will only make the eyes narrower and smaller. To emphasize them, you need:

1. Use light shades of shadows. In our case, it is also warm tones. With light skin, the use of pink gradients is allowed;
2. Carefully monitor the skin around the eyes - mimic wrinkles, swelling, blue under the eyes will only visually reduce their size. And besides, in itself it looks ugly. Therefore, we carefully take care of our skin, and if it is difficult to fight wrinkles, then masks and lotions from edema and blueness can be done regularly;
3. Broken eyebrow. This manipulation also makes the eye more open. The brow space increases, which needs to be lightened with light shades;
4. Eyelashes can be tinted on both the upper and lower eyelids. Only if on the top we actively highlight them, then on the bottom we just make them more noticeable. You can use brown mascara.

Tricks for age makeup: no matter how old you are - 30, 50, or more, if the skin loses elasticity, then makeup is resorted to much more often than when it is in good condition.

So the main points are:

• Avoid bright colors. It all depends on age and solidity. At 40, you should not paint with bright purple shadows or bright red. It is better to choose matte shades of these colors if they suit you and are in harmony with the selected image;
• Glitter on the lips is not the best beauty tool. They are not even suitable for all teenagers. In addition, they accumulate the harmful effects of sunlight, which has a very negative effect on such delicate skin;
• The arrows will look out of place. A great alternative to them is the drawing of the upper lash line and a slightly raised tip of the line upwards;
• For women with gray hair the eyeliner of light shades of light gray or pale brown is very suitable;
• The texture of the shadows is important. Creams should not be used - they roll very quickly and gather in the crease of the eyelid.
