Show me Dramatic Eye Makeup

An almost theatrical take on the art of makeup, applying dramatic eye makeup is one style that most women want to learn.  Creating the dramatic look for your eye makeup is nothing short of art but you when you get the hang of it, you can use this style for events and special occasions that call for a more professional makeup.  This may take a lot of time and practice and that is not all, you should also know how to find the right eye shadows, eye liners, and mascara.

The Eyebrows

Keeping your eyebrows well groomed is one way of making sure that you look fresh and well-made up all the time, even if you are not wearing any makeup. Schedule regular appointments to have your brows waxed or threaded or you can choose to tweeze them yourself. If you are unsure on how to shape your eyebrows, you can have a professional do it for you one time and then you just need to follow that shape every time you do it on your own.  In applying dramatic eye makeup, the brow pencil you choose should be darker if not the same color as your brow hair. If you choose a lighter color, the line you put becomes noticeable.

The Eye Shadow

Having several palettes is better than buying eye shadow piece by piece.  This way, you do not have to worry that the hues you are using do not match each other.  Use a light shade of eye shadow from the lash line to just beneath the brow line.  You can choose to use a rounded shape or a winged shape depending on the shape of your eyes and whether you have sagging or wrinkles evident especially at the corners.  Apply a darker shade of eye shadow right on the crease of your eye.  This makes your eyes look bigger.  A medium hue of the eye shadow acts as an accent and should be blended onto the crease and then to the area above the crease until the brow line.

The Eyeliner

Dramatic black eye makeup calls for dark eyeliner so choose dark brown, dark grey, or black. You can opt for liquid eyeliner if you are confident that you can hold it steady in application.  Otherwise, you can use an eye liner pencil. The eyeliner should be applied on the upper and lower lash lines but remember not to let the two lines meet as it will make your eyes look small.   You can choose to end the line with an upward stroke from the inside corner of the eye to the outside.

The Mascara

The mascara that you apply will make your lashes appear fuller and even longer.  You can use a lash culler before applying the mascara to make your eyes look bigger.   In applying the mascara, turn the brush applicator twice in the tube and never pump it. Brush from the inside lash outwards and repeat it once only.  Otherwise, the mascara might form lumps on your lashes.

Creating a dramatic black eye makeup may take a lot of practice, but when you perfect it, you will be the star of any event that you attend!
