How to Apply Eye Shadow - Dramatic Eye
You can use the dramatic eye technique if you are
to attend special occasions, costume parties, or a photo shoot. If you
feel like being bold and daring, you can use the dramatic eye technique
as you wish.
Dramatic eyes can be achieved in a lot of
different ways. You do not always have to go overboard when you want to
do a dramatic eye. It also doesn’t mean that you always need to use dark
and deep eye shadows colours. You can achieve a dramatic eye but still
wear something classic and elegant.
Simple dramatic eye look
You can do this minimal make up technique and at
the same time create a dramatic eye look. Pick colours that make your
eyes pop. Pick a light eye shadow colour that contrasts with your eye
colour. Apply the eye shadow to your upper eyelid area, on to your eye
crease and up your brow bone area. Using the same colour, sweep the eye
shadow on your lower lashes going from outer to the inner of your eyes.
Pick a darker eye shadow with the same shade and
apply on your lower lash line. Using a pencil eye liner, line your upper
lashes going from the inner of your eyes outwards. Line the inner rim of
your lower eye lid with the same eyeliner then finish up with 2 coats of
black mascara.
Dramatic cat eye look
This is a little more fancy compared to the eye
technique above. A lot of celebrities sport this cat eye look. You just
basically need to extend your eyeliner across your natural lash line. To
achieve this look, apply your basecoat eye shadow using a light or
neutral shade. If you want to go bolder, you can use a pastel shade as
base. You only need to use one colour of eye shadow for this look. Sweep
the eye shadow on your lower lash line.
When you line your eyes, it is best to use a
liquid or gel eyeliner. You can use an angled brush liner dipped in a
black or dark eye shadow and extend all the way out of your natural lash
line. Smudge it a little for a more polished look. Apply two coats of
mascara and use false eyelashes if you opt to. The final look should be
a sexy, sultry cat eye look.
Intense Dramatic Eye Look
This is a more intense look for your eyes but is
not that complicated to do. You just need a darker eye shadow colour.
Apply your light neutral base colour all over your eye area, going from
your upper eyelid to your brow bone. Your base colour should be lighter
than your skin tone. Doing this step actually even outs the skin tone of
your eyelids.
Next, pick a medium brown or taupe eye shadow
colour. Apply this on 2/3 of your upper eyelid area, going right through
your eye crease using an eye shadow brush. Using the same colour, apply
on 1/3 of your lower eyelids using a small eye shadow brush. Make sure
to blend well.
Apply black liquid eyeliner to your upper eyelid
area starting from the inner to the outer corner of your eye. Extend
across your natural lash line, similar to the cat eye look. Smudge the
line using a sponge tip applicator. Put on false eyelashes and two coats
of black mascara. Put on a highlighter to your brow bone and inner
corners of your eyes.
