Every woman, regardless of age, strives to create an impeccable image; it gives her confidence and is one of the most important stages of a successful career.
To create a successful image, she not only follows fashion trends in clothing, hairstyle, manicure, but also follows fashion trends in makeup.
What is makeup for?
Makeup hides imperfections, but most importantly, emphasizes natural beauty and gives the face individuality. Therefore, it is important to know the various secrets of proper makeup in order to always look well-groomed and beautiful.
Very often women have beautiful gray eyes, and photos of gray makeup show how to make them even more noticeable and beautiful.
Basic principles of summer makeup
The basic principle of applying makeup in the summer is the use of light and at the same time durable cosmetics.
Choosing a base
Perhaps you should give up your usual foundation and powder for a while, and use a simple concealer, only masking skin imperfections.
This is justified, since in the summer months there is no need to achieve the effect of matte, smooth skin. A tan obtained from the sun in itself is a wonderful tone and the skin tone is beautiful without any correction.
But if you have problem skin and you want to get rid of oily shine by any means, then you should choose light fluids with additional protection from UV rays. The main rule is not to overload the skin. There must be one thing, preferably mineral - either foundation, or corrector, or powder. And all these products must have SPF protection.
Nourishing creams
In summer you need to give up nourishing, oily and fatty creams. Instead, use light gel textures. They not only moisturize the skin, but also give you a feeling of freshness.
Shadows and mascara
If you decide to use eyeshadow, do not under any circumstances choose cream ones. They will melt, flow and the image of a panda cannot be avoided! Also, temporarily avoid liquid eyeshadow. At high temperatures they flow, and after some time they “slide” into the corners of the eyes. For the same reason, you should not use liquid eyeliner. It is better to use a contour pencil.
With mascara things are much more serious. Mascara is a must-have product if you want to make your look look complete. Waterproof mascaras will help you cope with the heat, but it is better to choose those that indicate that they are heat resistant. Heat-resistant mascara will not be imprinted on the eyelid.
If you use a certain mascara and don’t want to part with it, buy a waterproof coating or waterproof mascara from the same brand as yours and cover your mascara with this, the effect will remain, but the properties will change.
Eyebrow pencil or shadow
Do not forget to adjust your eyebrows during the summer season and lightly outline them with a pencil or special shadows. The fact is that eyebrows fade in the bright sun, so a slight correction will not hurt them.
Makeup setting spray
Makeup setting sprays contain many beneficial extracts and help makeup set without slipping or smearing throughout the day. A useful product for summer. Among other things, such sprays tone and refresh, so if you have never used such cosmetic products, it’s worth a try.
By eye color
Another important point in the procedure for properly designing an image is choosing a color palette directly to match the type of eyes of the fair sex. Only the right combination of colors will allow you to achieve expressiveness and depth in a particular make-up .
Next, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the nuances of designing the appearance for different types of iris.
Brown
Owners of such eyes will suit dark and cool shades. They will definitely highlight their image with lilac, purple and blue colors. For daytime makeup, the ideal choice would be lilac and beige tones with a matte structure.
Greens
This eye color goes well with brown, peach and red undertones. In fact, all warm shades suit it. Makeup in pink and red tones looks especially bright on such girls.
Blue
Blue-eyed beauties can choose makeup based on gray, beige, yellow and pearlescent shades. Moreover, you will need to combine these colors with dark gray liners and black eyeliners.
Blue
Owners of such eyes can create their own makeup without restrictions. They are suitable for almost all variations of the visual design of modern cosmetics.
Note! For parties and celebrations, use eyeshadows with bright colors. Try to create everyday makeup using restrained and soft colors.
Features of evening makeup
Evening design for gray-eyed people has no restrictions. But, of course, you need to give up very bright shadows. For evening, chic, gray makeup, pearlescent shadows of various colors are suitable.
It is best to use a multi-layered, sophisticated design, using black mascara and eyeliner.
At the same time, on the lower eyelid, draw a line with shadows or a pencil along the eyelash growth line. Moreover, it should be shaded well, and the corners of the eyes should be highlighted with light tones.
Step-by-step instruction
How to apply eyeshadow wet?! Let's begin to analyze this issue.
- Before you start directly applying makeup, you need to degrease your eyelids using a special product. This stage should not be skipped, since a beautiful and uniform application of the product depends on it.
- Wet the applicator or brush with a small amount of water. Shake off excess water. The applicator should remain slightly damp.
- Select the desired shade of eyeshadow.
- When applying, gently lift the outer corner of the eye. Try to apply shadow as close to the eyelash growth as possible.
- Remember that light shades of the product are applied closer to the inner corner of the eye, and dark shades - towards the outer corner.
- The eyelash line should be highlighted with dark shades.
- And under the eyebrow use a translucent shade of a light color scheme with a slight shimmer effect.
- Blend the shadows well using special cosmetic brushes and a very light shade of product. Performed using standard technology.
Grey eyes
For women with gray eyes the following are relevant:
- all shades of silver, from light to metallic and wet dark asphalt. They are good for daytime makeup for gray eyes.
- gold and metallic tones paired with brown shadows - evening makeup, eyes acquire a blue tint.
- metallic eyeliner with shadows of various dark brown colors - highlight the eyes.
- shades of purple and wine color - soften the look - daytime makeup.
- yellow or orange shadow, with a blue outline - you get a blue tint to the eyes.
- shades of brown and green (applying several layers of green and brown shadows to the upper eyelid, and only green to the lower eyelid) - the eyes turn out to have a green tint.
How to paint your eyes
Are you trying to learn the intricacies of makeup? Do you want to know how to visually enlarge your eyes with makeup or hide most of your imperfections? In this article, you will learn the generally accepted principles of creating an elegant look on almost any face.
Important! Properly chosen makeup will contribute to the formation of an attractive image and provide any representative of the fair sex with additional self-confidence.
As for the tools with which you can highlight your appearance, these include:
- shadows;
- pencil;
- arrows;
- eyeliner and liner;
- mascara
Next, we will try to consider the application techniques for each of the above cosmetic preparations.
Application stages
If girls choose makeup with gray shadows, they should know that there are several options for applying it. You need to choose the right tone for a specific face type.
- A medium gray color is applied to the moving part of the eyelid.
- Under the eyebrow, the corners of the eyes and the inner side of the eyelid are highlighted.
- The outer side of the moving eyelid, from the midline, is covered with dark tones, in the form of a thin strip.
- A thin strip is applied to the lower eyelid with dark shadows.
- The stripes are shaded.
The “highlight” technique is used to hide small facial defects (with wide or deep-set eyes).
- Most of the moving eyelid is covered with dark ashy tones.
- Lighter colors are applied to the main part of the moving and lower eyelid, starting from the corner of the eye.
- From above, above the pupil, the area of the eyelid is highlighted in the lightest tone, which creates a glare effect.
- To finish the makeup, draw a sharp arrow with eyeliner or pencil.
- If desired, you can add silver shadows to the upper and lower eyelids.
How to apply makeup for different eye shapes
Eye shape is one of the fundamental factors that can directly influence the choice of tools and methods for creating an attractive image.
Next, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the fundamental nuances of applying makeup to faces with different types of eyes. You will become familiar with the subtleties that will subsequently help you recreate the most attractive image.
Narrow and small eyes
Even with their small size and original shape, narrow eyes can look expressive and stylish . To achieve this result, follow these steps:
- Treat your eyelid with a light shade of foundation.
- Next, cover the skin with shimmer or pearl.
- Apply a thin line of liner to the outside of the manhole and the corner. At the same time, apply a shade of cool brown to the upper eyebrow area.
- Emphasize the crease between the eyebrow and the moving eyelid with a dark line. You can implement this element of makeup only with your eyes open, and accordingly, before everything works out, you will have to practice a fair amount. There should be a small tail left from the created line.
- Draw a second arrow to the outer corner from the middle of the eye. Moreover, both lines must be shaded according to the growth of the eyelashes.
- The last stage of creating an image will be the use of liquid eyeliner, mascara and gloss under the lower eyelid.
Note! When using eyeshadow, try to mix two dark colors with different shades. By using only one color, you run the risk of making your look look older or too expressive.
Close-set
The main problem with close-set eyes is the upper fold, over which excess volume is formed. Forming the correct makeup for that area involves carefully darkening the uppermost area and highlighting the crease.
In order for you to succeed, try to rely on the following series of sequential actions in the process of creating an image:
- Select all cosmetics in beige and brown tones. This will allow you to create the necessary shadow over the problem area.
- Dark shadows are applied first to the surface of the eyelids with slight shading at an angle.
- Next, a thin classic arrow is tinted along the eyelashes from below. It is advisable to shade it from the middle to the edge.
- For an arrow on the upper eyelid, it is best to use liquid eyeliner, but do not draw out the tip. This will only emphasize the hollowness. Leave it sort of uncovered. Emphasize the lower lash line from the middle to the edge with a dark shaded line;
- Apply a little glitter to the inner corner of your eye.
- Use shadows, giving preference to matte shades in natural tones.
- The last step in creating the right look on your eyes will be applying mascara and eyeliner under your eyebrows.
Large and convex
The main task of representatives of the fair sex with the above-mentioned type of eye sockets is their systematic narrowing for the light of creating an appropriate image. To do this correctly, try to fully understand the following steps:
- Apply a good quality cream base.
- Organize the outline using eyeliner. Moreover, to create a spectacular tip, try to carefully shade the formed lines with a brush or sponge.
- Cover the moving part of the eyelid with shadows with an expressive matte shade. Be sure to lighten the creases under the eyebrows.
- Next, apply some dark color. Do everything carefully, do not use too many dark shadows.
- Draw a classic arrow using a dark liner.
- Use a special brush to make small upward strokes that will visually stretch the eyes towards the middle of the moving eyelid.
- Apply shadow or highlighter to the corners.
- The last step is to apply natural eyelash shadow, emphasizing the lower rim of the eye. For this you can use a dark beige or gray pencil.
Note! When tinting your eyes with a pencil, experts do not recommend applying a dark color to the lower eyelid. It will make you look tired and narrow your eyes greatly.
With the impending century
The problem of the impending eyelid is “small” eyes. Incorrectly chosen makeup for this type of eye structure can visually age a girl and give her image a drooping look. To prevent this from happening to you, we recommend that you follow a number of simple steps:
- Apply the base to the upper eyelid, and highlight the lower eyelid with a highlighter or any light pencil.
- Shade the folds of skin at the outer corner with liner or brown eyeshadow.
- Extend the brown shade used directly to a third of the lower eyelid.
- Make a small ponytail with a pencil, creating the effect of a small arrow, and blend it with a sponge.
- Apply shadows with a dark shade to the surface of the overhanging eyelid, which would be as close as possible to the natural color scheme. Blend them out.
- Cover the outer part of the eyelid with beige or other light shades, also not forgetting to shade them.
- In the area where the shadows meet, mix two colors to create a smooth transition.
- Draw a wing on the outer corner of the eye using a darker eye shadow.
- Draw a black line along the growth of the eyelashes with eyeliner. It is recommended to tint the lower eyelid with a liner with a bright shade.
- The last step is to brighten the corners with highlighter. They also need to design the area under the lower eyelid.

When gray is not your color
Surprising but true. Gray in clothes is my color. In general, in my appearance there is a lot of gray, muted. But in makeup, gray shades do not decorate me much.
That's why I don't have a gray palette, I had to look for separate refills in other palettes. And in general, scrape quite a bit along the bottom of the barrel to pick up gray products.
And why... I really liked the idea of a “color” flash mob. I want to support)))
So, an attempt to get into a given palette
The first gray refill was found in the favorite Dior Eyeshadow palette 506 Parisian Sky
Quite Pantone Ultimate Gray
or
Glacier Grey.
In the center there is a neutral gray, a little dry, giving more pearl than color. It applies thinly, layers well and blends into a haze.
For makeup, I applied it with a soft brush as a base color all over the eyelid and blended it quite high.
Found two more gray refills in a very old GaDe
On the right is warm gray, loose, soft, very actively gives off color upon any application, slightly dusty. Shines very brightly.
Pantone Moonstruck
?
In makeup, I applied it with my finger to the center of my eyelid and pressed it in. Didn't shade it.
On the left is an asphalt shade with shimmer. Soft, dusty, crumbling. In work it is not as dark as in the refill. They can be used to highlight a corner, or soften the arrow for Smokey.
Dark Gull Gray
?
For makeup, I applied it over a pencil liner and blended it a little for a smoky effect.
Pencil Pupa 08 Military
one of my favorite. It is such a borderline gray, with purple and brown tints at the same time. On my eyes it looks like a very warm gray, but in the general swatch next to the gray shadows it looks like brown)
Here's a very Dark Gull Gray
…
The pencil is soft, ideal for brushing and shading, and good as a base for eye shadow. Due to its softness, it is not the most durable...
In makeup, I emphasized the lower edge of the eyelashes with a pencil and made a soft arrow.
I found another old limited edition in the bins - this time Dior Addict Ultra-gloss flash 707
Gray gloss with pink and silver shimmer.
Glacier Gray
, In my opinion…
In reality, the gloss gives a light tint and makes the lips more lilac-violet. TX are still great.
Summary swatches.
Shadows on the left Dior
, then two
GaDe
.
Pencil Pupa
.
The shadows are applied with your finger.
Glitter Dior
. Even on the pale skin of the hands the tint is barely noticeable.
In makeup...
And in the whole image. Hello, tired look... )))
The main participants of the makeup in addition to those presented.
The lip contour is drawn with Pupa 004
, which many know and love. And this pencil is also muted, with a large amount of gray in the shade.
Blush took Limoni 07
, the coldest in my collection...
This is such a gray story I got)))
Girls, what about you with gray shades?

Makeup with purple eyeshadow
Purple makeup is ideal for creating a formal look. New Year, birthday, party - this is a list of occasions when you can use purple in your image. There are several secrets that make this look flawless:
- The face should be completely straight. Therefore, before starting cosmetic work, you need to lightly work on it with peeling. Afterwards you need to wait until all the redness has disappeared from your face. For a quick effect, you can apply ice cubes to your face. Only for a short time - for a couple of seconds, and then repeat.
- If there are circles under the eyes, they must be removed using a special cream. If this is not done, you will end up with simple black eyes on your face instead of beautifully painted eyes. Not a very attractive sight.
- You need to use blush very carefully. It's better to abandon them altogether.
- The same goes for lipstick. The ideal option is pink lip gloss. Cute, juicy and not too bright!
By following these rules, you can create amazingly beautiful purple makeup. In general, we hope that our tips today will help you diversify your image in the best traditions of world style!
Makeup with black shadows
- The first thing we want to tell you is don't worry. Doing makeup with black shadows is not difficult at all. But at the same time, it really helps a woman become more beautiful, brighter, more mysterious. So don't be afraid to experiment! All in your hands.
- The main thing you need to do is apply foundation to your face. It should perfectly match the girl's complexion. Moreover, if she has tanned skin, then it would be better to choose a foundation that is a little lighter than hers. The eyelids should be treated with powder. Moreover, more powder should be applied to the lower eyelids. For what? Just in case the shadows fall off a little. Then the excess can be removed simply along with the excess powder.
- A thick black line should be drawn along the upper eyelid - you can use eyeliner. Don't be afraid to overdo it - makeup with black shadows loves thick lines. If a girl has big eyes, the lower eyelid can also be slightly lined. If not, it’s not worth it. After using a brush you need to lightly shade the line of eyeliner.
- The next step is shadows. Of course they must be black. They should be applied to both the lower eyelids and the upper ones. And then blend it thoroughly with a brush. If a girl is over 20 years old, then she needs to use matte tones; if she is 20 or less, she can use mother-of-pearl.
- Next we paint the eyelashes, but first we need to curl them with special curlers. There is no need to fuss with mascara; you can apply three or four layers. For the most important cases, you can use false eyelashes.
- Remember that makeup with black shadows does not tolerate the presence of blush and bright lipstick on the face. However, one can argue here - after all, when creating the image of a Lady Vamp, red lipstick is acceptable. It is important to pay maximum attention to your eyebrows - they should have a well-groomed appearance.
