The Fundamentals of Eye Makeup

25 06 2014

I personally find eye makeup as the most attractive as it’s basically what draws us to look at a person’s face more closely. When done superbly, it also gives the most impact as you can see in your instagram photos because it makes your eyes expressive.

The catch though is this is also that part of makeup which takes the longest and the trickiest to apply simply because you’d have to blend colors. Don’t fret though because this article is here to help by discussing an overview of the different eye parts and how makeup is applied to each.

1. Highlight or Brow Bone

What’s usually applied for this area is a shade that’s lighter in color. At times, it could be a shade like your skin tone or an undertone of the darker or bolder color applied to the lid. For instance, you’re doing a dominant green look. You could go for an eyeshadow with a gold shade to serve as your highlight color as it’ll be sure to bring the green out but still allow it to recede at the same time.

2. Above Crease

Dubbed as the “blend out” part of the eye, it needs to have an intense color on both crease and lid. Because it’s going upward to the brow, this color must be diffused.
You could think of it as a gradient color going from dark starting at your lids to light going towards your brow. If you want to fade the color upwards, employ a shade that’s lighter than what you use on your lid. Likewise, you can go for a similar color that you’re using for your highlight.

3. Outer Crease

This crease is that particular fold just above your eyes, extending from the inside (or start) to the outside (or end). You can put color in the outer crease or bring it up a notch at the middle part. It’s not recommended that you darken your whole crease though. Carbon makes a great color for your crease as it can instantly make any look darker but if you want to go for a more subtle shade, try soft brown.

4. Inner Lid

Your eyelid can be divided into three parts: inner, middle and outer. In most cases, you’ll observe that inner lids have lighter colors compared to the other parts.

5. Middle Lid

Where a light shade is deposited in the inner lid, a medium shade is placed in the middle eye. Sometimes, you can interchange the shades of your inner and middle lid but normally, most people prefer to have it a medium shade.

6. Outer Lid

After knowing what shade of color goes to the inner and middle lid, this part is a no brainer. Logic would say that the outer lid is where the darkest color would go. You can experiment further and divide the outer lid in half where the most exterior part would have the darkest shade.

7. Upper Lash Line

This part is where your upper and longest lashes meet your eyelid. When lining this part of the eye, most people go for thicker lines compared to the natural upper lash line itself.

8. Upper Waterline

This is located directly under your upper lashes. Try looking up and you’ll see that there’s this little bitsy space that resembles your lower line. Some women, like Koreans, love to line this too. This procedure is what they dub as “tightlining.”

9. Lower Waterline

As it’s found underneath your eye’s bottom rim, it’s also known as the lower rim. The catch to putting makeup on this area is that some people can’t apply anything on it due to skin sensitivity. Moreover, most products tend to dissolve or fade in a short span of time, mainly because it’s a watery part. For more lasting products, you can go for fluidliners, gel liners and liquidfast liners.

10. Inner Lower Lash Line

This is the space located directly under the waterline. Not all people like putting color on this area. There are a few who opt to apply a thin eyeliner line that covers the inner and outer lower lash lines.

11. Outer Lower Lash Line

Try applying a thin color line of your outer lower lash line. You can split or divide it into three parts which means there’s now a middle lower lash line. If you want to have a smoky eye effect, dab a shade that’s darker to your outer lower lash line or opt for a thicker eyeliner and smudge it around your outer lower lash line.

12. Upper Lashes

This is where the art of applying mascara lies. Apply a single coating of black or brown mascara on your upper lashes to give your eyes more prominence. Brown gives a more natural look while black, when applied in more coats, creates a more dramatic effect. To do this, glance up and move the wand nearest to your lash roots then comb upwards.

13. Lower Lashes

Lashes shorter than your upper lashes, they are located under your eyeball. You can apply a black coating using a small wand to fit the area’s equally little space. Look up and tap your lower lashes with the mascara wand lightly.





Prodermagenix Review:Serum Bringing Skin Back to Life

20 05 2014

 

prodermagenix bundleI worked from home for the past two years. I gave birth the year before and wanted to spend as much time with my son as possible so I quit my job and chose to work online. The perks of this kind of job is you can stop anytime you wish to have a break, power nap or play with your child.

What’s more, you need not spend time preparing your clothes or makeup because you would only be working from your desk. In my case, I usually work without having a bath yet and still wearing my pajamas. My hair was also pulled back on a ponytail too and my face was everything but glowing. I washed it upon waking up but just up to that. If we needed to have a video meeting on Skype, that was the only time I took time to make myself look presentable.

Two years of this routine took a toll on my skin. It lost its healthy glow becoming dry and eventually looking dull and lifeless. After receiving endless complaints from my sister of how I was neglecting my skin’s needs and one comment from my husband later on who said my sister had a point, I decided to take action.

So, I did my research in search of a product to use to restore my skin’s former glory. I stumbled upon a batch of Prodermagenix reviews and quite taken by its website and testimonials, I took a leap of faith and gave it a try. I followed the instructions well and made sure to apply it the right way then excitedly anticipated for the after effects.

After six weeks of use, results were already noticeable. I was already fair but Prodermagenix made my skin lighter and evened out my skin tone. What’s more, what used to be dull skin was replaced by radiant glow and it felt supple and smooth to the touch. By the time four more weeks passed, you would never know how my skin looked just ten weeks ago. It looked everything but lifeless.

I was so thrilled with the effects. I looked ten years younger and now that I’m back working office-based, even my office mates don’t believe I’m 35 years old. This prodermagenix review I made is a testament to how it really repaired my skin and restored it to full glory. I’m so thankful to have found about Prodermagenix Anti-Aging Serum online and I highly recommend it for everybody.

Prodermagenix Review and How It Works

28 01 2014
  • Why Prodermagenix Anti-Aging Serum Works Prodermagenix Anti-Aging Serum is all you need for that radiant, vibrant, and youthful look. What is this deep-acting formulation that truly rejuvenates ageing skin? Prodermagenix directly influences the production of fibrous tissue called collagen which comprises about 70% of human skin. With ample collagen supply, skin retains strength and is better at retaining moisture. Aging and external agents (e.g. sun exposure) significantly decrease the strength of the bonds that hold collagen proteins together. When collagen fibers lose their suppleness, skin becomes less flexible. When groves and lines form as a person makes facial expressions, they do not spring back as they once did and become unsightly groves and wrinkles. Fortunately for women, ProDermagenix Anti Wrinkle Serum is effective at boosting the collagen supply of the skin. With regular use, skin is strengthened, nourished, more elastic, and enjoys an overall youthful appearance. This is an anti-wrinkle formula which is made from safe and clinically-tested ingredients. Prodermagenix is an age-reversing formula with no known negative side effects. What could be better than an effective application that is proven to have no harmful effects on its users?  Read prodermagenix reviews on http://goo.gl/4d4RlQ.
