Eyeshadow smudge technique

Many women use makeup to make their faces look better, and good makeup skills can really make a big difference to a person's face. When putting on makeup, many women will use eye shadow to modify their eye shape. When using eye shadow, female friends must pay attention to blending it properly, otherwise the eye shadow will look very strange. So what is the smudge technique for eyeshadow?

The first one is the flat coating method.

Features: Gradual blending of single-color eyeshadow; suitable for girls with single eyelids and good eye structure. The flat coating method generally uses one eye shadow color, which is smudged from the root of the eyelashes from bottom to top with a flat coating technique. The flat coating method is generally suitable for single eyelids and eyes with good eye structure, and is mostly used for light makeup. As a makeup newbie, everyone has a love-hate relationship with eyeshadow. Especially for girls who have just started to use eye shadow, they often worry that their skills are not good enough, that they have chosen the wrong colors, and they are particularly afraid that their makeup will be too exaggerated and they will feel uncomfortable when they go out. You can refer to this flat painting method. Although there is only one color, it can also become colorful through the gradient blending effect. This is also a relatively safe method. Girls who like light makeup can also try it. Girls with puffy eyes should pay attention. If you really want to use this method, you should also choose darker tones and avoid pearlescent eye shadow.

Flat painting method: The eyeshadow is darkest near the root of the eyelashes, and gradually blends upwards, becoming lighter and lighter until it disappears, presenting a clear gradient effect. The area of ​​eye shadow can be slightly larger. You can choose tones with higher brightness and brighter colors.

Tips:

1. Although it is a flat painting method, you must also show a sense of layering. Don't just smear out a flat surface. Otherwise, the painting will not have a gradient and blending effect.

2. The color of the eye shadow should also be chosen to match your clothes and skin color so as not to look out of place.

3. Avoid using too much color which may produce the opposite effect. Apply small amounts and multiple times.

The second method is the gradient method (the vertical gradient method introduced here is the vertical gradient method).

Features: A combination of 2 to 3 eyeshadow colors; eliminates puffiness of the eyelids and widens the distance between the eyebrows and eyes. The gradient method is a very three-dimensional painting method. Generally speaking, it means using two eye shadows of the same color to match first, and the number of eye shadow colors should not exceed three. The key to color selection in the gradient method is to use the same color system but different shades. When applying, apply the light color first and then the dark color. This method creates a very three-dimensional eye makeup and is also a common painting method. It should be noted that when matching two or more eye shadow colors, special attention should be paid to the transition between the intermediate colors to avoid overly harsh boundaries.

Gradient painting example:

1. First, take a light color and apply it to the upper eyelid using a flat coating method. The color of the eyeshadow should gradually become lighter from bottom to top.

2. Divide the area from the eyeliner to the eye socket into three equal parts. The eyeshadow color is darkest closest to the eyeliner, and gradually fades upwards. Then choose an eye shadow that is darker than the color in step 1 and apply the eye shadow in three equal parts starting from the root of the eyelashes. The principle is still from bottom to top, from deep to shallow. With different shades of colors, you can create eye makeup suitable for different occasions. It should be noted that there should be no obvious dividing lines between the different levels of color, and the color transition should be natural. If you need to deepen the color of the eye shadow during the process of applying the eye shadow, you should use the same method as mentioned above to apply the eye shadow, and also pay attention to the gradual transition, but the area of ​​the eye shadow applied in each equal part should gradually decrease from light to dark.

Tips: This method is the most common and practical one, and it produces a much better three-dimensional effect than the flat painting method. Compared to other complicated eye shadow techniques, this one is very easy to learn. When choosing eye shadow, novice girls can choose an eye shadow box with 2 to 5 colors. Generally, the color matching of such eye shadow boxes makes sense. The same color from light to dark is most suitable for this gradient method. Girls can freely choose any 2~3 colors to create gradient eyeshadow.

The third method is three-dimensional gradient coloring.

Features: light in the middle and dark on both sides; strong applicability and three-dimensional effect; requires higher makeup skills. The three-dimensional blending method is a blending method to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the eyes. It is light in the middle and dark on both sides, and gradually becomes lighter from bottom (root of eyelashes) to top (range of eye socket). Apply dark shades to the hollow areas of the eyes and light shades to the protruding areas of the eyes. The blending of dark and light colors should be natural, and the transition between light and dark should be reasonable. According to the structural characteristics of the eyes, choose a combination of dark and light eye shadows to create a three-dimensional effect through changes in color. Apply dark eye shadow to the base of the eyelashes and the outer corner of the eye socket, and apply bright colors to the outer edge of the orbit and the middle of the upper eyelid, naturally transitioning with the dark structural color without any obvious boundary line.

Three-dimensional shading method steps:

1. Apply highlights on the brow bone and the center of the eyeball on the upper eyelid

2. Apply eye shadow from bottom (root of eyelashes) to top (eye socket, which is the groove formed above the eyeball and the eye socket), darker at the bottom and lighter at the top.

3. Apply eye shadow radially from the inner and outer corners of the eye to the middle of the eyeball to achieve a darker effect on the sides and lighter in the middle.

4. Draw a thick and thin oblique triangle of lower eye shadow from outside to inside along the root of the lower eyelashes on the lower eyelid, with the length being two-thirds of the eye length. 5. Draw highlights on the inner third of the length of the lower eyelid, and bring it to the inner corner of the eye and the inner side of the upper eyelid.

Tips:

1. Girls with puffy eyelids should pay attention. The three-dimensional blending method may make the eyes look more swollen, especially the highlight part will cause such a problem.

2. After applying the highlighter, don’t just leave it there and ignore it. Slightly blend it towards the skin on both sides so that it blends naturally with the skin tone without being abrupt.

3. When blending, pay attention to natural transition and avoid leaving too obvious boundaries, which will look rigid and unaesthetic.

The fourth method is to emphasize the tail of the eye.

Features: The triangle area at the end of the eye; suitable for Asians, double eyelids, and droopy eyes. The focus of the eye tail emphasis method is to deepen the three-dimensional sense of the triangular area at the end of the eye to create extremely deep and charming eyes. The triangular area at the end of the eye is the meeting point of the upper and lower eye shadows. Deepening the area to create shadows can enlarge the eyes and enhance the depth of the eyes.

How to darken the end of the eye: Apply the base color of the eyeshadow evenly to the entire eyelid starting from the root of the eyelashes at the third of the end of the eye. Then apply the transition color horizontally from the root of the eyelashes at the end of the eye to the slanted two-thirds of the entire eyelid. Finally, add a darker color and evenly dye the entire back third of the eyelid.

Tips: You can integrate this method into other eye makeup techniques, but pay attention to the degree of blending. Daily makeup should be natural, so don’t apply too heavy makeup.
