Makeup with black shadows
Makeup with black shadows is an option that is worthy of the eyes of a fatal seductress. He continues to be popular, despite the wave of natural make-up, because his power and open sexuality never ceases to drive the strong half of humanity crazy.
Peculiarities
Make-up with the participation of black shadows is quite an unusual variety, it is not suitable for every girl. If the complexion has a pronounced pallor, and the wardrobe lacks bright things, it is better to refuse such makeup, preferring calmer pastel tones.
In addition, even if the skin tone is suitable for black eyeshadow, if applied incorrectly, instead of the eyes of a languid cat, you can get small panda eyes. The nuance here lies in highlighting the inner corner of the eyes with a light tone and applying several shades of shadows - from gray to black.
And this image requires the presence of good cosmetics. The best solution here may be to purchase a professional series. Such funds will be well applied and shaded. For the last procedure, stock up on brushes of various widths with a bevelled edge.
Of course, it is important to understand what type of makeup is right for you. Perhaps it will be a classic smoky eyes or an evening version with sparkles, complemented by a juicy color scheme.There can be many options here, which means that a lot of pleasant and stylish experiments with black shadows are already waiting for modern fashionistas.
Women of respectable age, with all their desire, it is better to limit the use of dark shades for the eyes.
The fact is that in most cases, ladies who overcome the age threshold for 40 years have facial wrinkles on their faces. Crow's feet and small wrinkles tend to be located around the eyes. At the same time, black color will only highlight such age-related changes, clogging and rolling into them. The only possible option here may be to highlight the outer corner of the eyelid with a dark palette.
What cosmetics to choose?
Make-up in black tones can be realized in any beauty salon, but the opportunity to visit it does not always appear. If you want to make this stylish make-up at home, it is important to arm yourself with the right cosmetics.
So, for a fashionable look, you will need a small set of cosmetics, such as:
- black contour pencil;
- loose black shadows;
- shades of lighter tones (depending on eye color and type of makeup);
- shiny light shadows with shimmer;
- ink.
As tools you will need a set of brushes.
It is worth remembering that each element of the set must have high durability characteristics.
Crumbling shadows and mascara will quickly appear under the eyes, creating a sloppy image of a tired woman. It is necessary to use and purchase eye shadow with sparkles very carefully, because sparkles crumble much more often and more than matte shadows.
Brown shadows are suitable for smoothing black and a smooth transition. Their shade can go to a sandy tone or play on orange notes.For the inner corner of the eye, light tones of beige and brown are suitable.
How beautiful to make up the eyes?
To highlight the eyes with the help of black shadows, it is important not to ignore their shade and color, because the choice of shadows of black “thinners” is diverse. So, blue eyes look great in pure black, as well as in combination with shades of gray, purple, blue and brown. The beauty of green eyes will become even brighter against the background of graphite, plum and dark green tones. Gray eyes are filled with magnetism with a combination of smoky and dark blue shades. For brown eyes, liquid shadows in a chocolate palette are suitable, shading the special depth of dark “lakes of the soul”, as well as black and white solutions for the image of a fatal seductress.
One of the key links in the entire makeup algorithm is the shape of the eye.. The eyelid may hang over the eye or have the correct shape. It is much easier to paint the eyes of the correct shape, because the shadows will have to be applied and shaded along the already existing crease. The application technique for the impending eyelid is to artificially create a fold over the moving eyelid. The hollow between the impending eyelid is darkened in stages (using brown shadows or a face sculptor), deepening more and more when using shades from dark to light tones.
An easy way to enlarge the eyes is to draw arrows. A soft and somewhat blurry effect will turn out if you apply a black pencil and blend it. "Cat" eyes will become more accurate with black eyeliner, which is applied to the moving eyelid and slightly removed from the borders of the eye area. An interesting option could be an "oriental" make-up with arrows drawn not only on the movable, but also on the lower eyelid.
Whichever method is chosen, preparing the face for makeup remains a key factor. A foundation, eye primer, or loose powder will help the shadows lay down better and look presentable for a long time. The area under the eyes should be densely covered with powder, because when shedding dark shadows, it will be easy to remove particles of the black palette from such a surface.
Walkthrough
Makeup with black shadows is not as simple as it seems, because if you exclude any stage, you can irrevocably spoil yourself with small eyes. When applying shadows at home, it is important to be patient and have enough time following each step.
So, it is very important to prepare the face for cosmetic procedures. Cleansing and moisturizing cream will cover any existing peeling, creating the perfect base for applying foundation. Most makeup artists advise using matte foundation and powder in tandem with a black make-up, but for the evening, interspersed with small shining particles of the foundation will do. After a foundation that matches the tone of the face, the procedure is continued with a corrector, hiding dark circles under the eyes. If such a feature is not observed, the item can be skipped. The stage is considered important, because against the background of a black tone, the darkening will play even brighter.
The upper eyelid can be supplemented with a primer or light matte shadows. The next step is to highlight the eyes with a black pencil. They apply both the upper and lower eyelids. It must be applied as close to the eyelashes as possible. An alternative to a soft black pencil can be dark shadows in tandem with a flat brush. The outer corners of the eyeliner in any of these ways rise slightly up.
The next step is to carefully blend the borders.On the upper eyelid, strokes are carried out towards the eyebrows. The mobile eyelid is further covered with dark shadows completely, if we are talking about classic smoky eyes. A cavity is carefully highlighted (or drawn, in the case of an impending eyelid). Just above the movable eyelid, an intermediate shade is applied under the cavity - for example, brown or gray. Light or pearlescent tones cover the eyelids from the eyebrow to the hollow.
The final and most important step is shading all the tones at the junctions. Each transition should be smooth. After achieving the result, further attention is paid to the eyelashes and their careful coverage with mascara in several layers. For celebrations, it is advisable to use false cilia.

The inner corner and the area under the eyebrow are worked out with neutral light tones with a slight note of mother-of-pearl. To create a daytime look, the shade "Frost" can be used, which has only a natural glow underneath.
If the most shaded make-up is akin to natural, then glitter makeup is beautiful in its brightness. It is chosen only for special occasions. A powerful performance here can be a combination of white and black shadows covered with large sparkles. The arrows give the look a special languor.
Makeup in dark colors requires a special shade of lips. Nude tones work best for this. Matte lipstick or translucent gloss - these are the components of a successful look.
