Successful makeup options for the eye with a hanging eyelid

The problem of the so-called impending century concerns so many women, which is why they mistakenly think that they can make up their eyes like in the pictures and training videos on the net, they have no chance.

It’s a mistake, because yes, as many makeup lessons do not work out, because they are often made on faces with classic features, but it’s actually possible to make beautiful eye makeup with overhanging eyelids. It is only necessary to know some of its features and not to emphasize a genetically determined “tired” look.

The basic rules for the implementation of makeup for the looming century and increase the eyes

You can make your eyes look more expressive and make your eyes more open by following a few basic makeup techniques in case of eyelids hanging and drooping.

  1. Make-up is done only with an open eye, as all transitions of color, lines and other nuances made on the closed eye, then remain behind the skin fold. When applying makeup to your eyes, you need to use a base under the shade, because otherwise all cosmetics “roll off” pretty quickly;
  2. The eyebrow should have a raised, elongated line that will become a diversion from the overhanging fold of the eyelid. Plus, all the space under the eyebrow must be applied bright matte shades of shadows - beige, pearl, etc;
  3. Visually open the view allows contour stroke lines of the upper eyelashes with a small arrow in the corner, as if continuing the crease of the upper eyelid. Moreover, in this case one can only sum up the eye with a pencil or even shadows, refusing liquid and other types of liner. The contour of the line should end where the fold of the upper eyelid ends at the side of the temple and shade;
  4. You need to stick to the version of the Smokey Aiz, that is, carefully shade all the used shades of shadows, because the hanging eyelid is incompatible with clear lines. At the same time, it is necessary to use dark shadows, which are applied to the outer corner of the eye and the fold of the hanging century, deepening and raising the eye;
  5. The use of mother-of-pearl decorative cosmetics for the eyes with a hanging eyelid is undesirable, you need to stick to matte textures. Nacre is allowed only for application under the eyebrow in a small amount. Fatty shadows should also not be used. Eyeliner pencil must be persistent, otherwise it may be imprinted on the mobile century. And be sure to use bulk mascara;
  6. It is not necessary to let down the lower eyelid or stain its internal line, unless you only slightly emphasize the line from the middle of the eye with a pencil or shadows. The same applies to the coloring of the lower lashes: either not to do this or slightly.

How to apply makeup on the eyes with the looming eyelids: step by step instructions

The basic makeup option involves the use of two shades of shadows - light and dark (preferably one color scheme, for example beige and brown), brushes for them, a pencil and a mascara. Further, all this cosmetics is set in motion as follows:

  1. Under the eyebrows and eyelids in the line of the growth of eyelashes cause bright pastel shades;
  2. The dark shade of the shadows is applied to the crease of the eyelid and the outer corner of the eyes and smoothly shaded with a brush. The same shadows distinguish the lower eyelid;
  3. Pencil draw thin arrows with upward short tips.
  4. Ink is better to paint eyelashes in two layers, creating additional volume.

Adjusting the lowered corners of the eyes with makeup can, trying to disguise them and visually lift, which will create a feeling of an open clear look.

  1. First you need to apply a base for the shadows, so that they do not roll down further;
  2. As the main shadows, choose a light beige or even white color;
  3. Apply the main shadows, open your eyes and mark the edge of the hanging eyelid with a pencil, to which you draw a line and lightly shade it with a thin brush;
  4. Take dark frosted shadows and darken the upper edge of the eyelid (fold), the outer corner of the eye, shading everything well: this creates the illusion of deep space;
  5. For blending makeup, it is better to use a barrel-shaped brush.
  6. Apply bulk mascara.

Light and dark shades do not necessarily imply the use of contrasting shadows - white and black, for example.

It can be two shades of the same color - blue and blue, pink and purple, salad and emerald, etc., as often they sell palettes.

Make-up for "swollen" eyes, depending on their color and shape: types and step-by-step execution

The choice of colors for eye makeup with overhanging eyelids is of considerable importance, on which the success of the whole event will largely depend. It’s easy to figure out here:

  1. Brown eyes - violet and yellow scales. For example, for an evening look, you can darken the fold and corner of the eye in purple, and the mobile eyelid be painted in pastel lilac tone, carefully blending the borders. For the daytime, beige-golden shades of varying intensity are suitable, all using the same technique;
  2. Blue eyes - ocher gamma. With a daily make-up you can make the contour with a warm brown color, and the mobile eyelid fill with reddish shadows. For evening make-up take a darker brown tone and copper shade as the base;
  3. Gray eyes are gray, turquoise, shades of brown and pink. The daytime variant here looks like an "ashen rose": a combination of gray and smoky-pink shadows, as well as possibly purple mascara. For evening make-up, a combination of dark gray and bright turquoise shades, plus pale gray under the eyebrow;
  4. Green eyes - warm, brown with olive palette, as well as bronze colors. So, for a daytime look, dark nut shadows are used for strokes, and olive-colored shades for the mobile age. Evening makeup can combine the copper-green shading on the stroke and terracotta warm shades as a basis.

Sometimes the hanging eyelid is combined with a narrow cut of the eyes, and in this case, the makeup technique will be slightly different - you first need a gray or brown pencil line above the natural fold on the upper eyelid, and then draw an arrow along the ciliary contour, connecting it from the outer corner with this line .

Next, gently shade it. Apply light shadows throughout the moving eyelid from the inner corner to the fold and apply darker shadows along the lower eyelid with their feathering. It remains to apply mascara.

Age makeup for the eyelids

Even if a woman at a young age did not genetically have eyelids, then after 50 years, due to the loss of skin elasticity, the skin fold is almost inevitably formed. You can get rid of these effects of age with the correct makeup:

  1. The obligatory use of foundation for make-up, which does not allow shadows to roll down, which, clogged in wrinkles and folds, age the woman's face even more;
  2. The obligatory inclusion of dark shades of shadows in the makeup to highlight the folds and the outer corner of the eyes. These can be dark brown or gray shadows, etc .;
  3. The use of light shadows for application to the inner corner of the eye, which will make the look more wide open. But pearl and shining shadows are impossible;
  4. Leading the eye with a pencil (not eyeliner) should start from the middle of the century;
  5. Special attention to the eyebrows - they must be well-groomed and raised, which will give youth to the whole image as a whole, even after the age of 50 years;
  6. Purple and brown mascara after 50 years should be avoided (in favor of black).

Stylist tips

  2. The outer corners of the eyebrows should be raised, creating a surprised image;
  3. To make the look deeper, let the cold tones, and the relief - warm;

  5. The white shining area in the inner corner of the eye makes them visually larger;
  6. It is advisable to use a light pencil to stain the inner line of the lower eyelid. This makes the eyes clearer, larger and more expressive;
  7. Holders of blue eyes should abandon the use of dark shadows;
  8. It is better to try out a new palette of shadows and a combination of shades in it before going out, experimenting with the color gamut of shadows and variations of it;
  9. Dark colors of shadows should be located only on the outer corners of the eyes, since in the inner they will visually reduce the size of the eyes as a whole;
  10. Too thick arrows in the case of the overhanging eyelid will make the eye heavier. The same effect will give and too long, drawn to the temple contour of the arrow. The line of the arrow should thicken from the middle of the eye to its corner, and not to the middle;
