What colors work best for a definer look?
There are two main reasons to use an eye shadow base. One is to create a warmer neutral look. The other is to contrast the look of your eyes with a more emphasized look.
The majority of people use them for the former, but they can also contrast looks very well. Many people opt for warmer shades that are slightly darker than their own natural eyes color. This adds a little fun looking for no reason!
To make a cooler or neutral eye look, you mix less pigment in your eyeliner and put less color on your eyelids. You can also try choosing colored pencils or markers that have different thicknesses, so you get some variation in amount of color shown on the eye makeup style.
The most popular colors for this look are soft pastels or gentle neutral colors like brown, green, and khaki.
How to create a definer look
Adhering to a definer look is half the fun! There are many ways to create a definer look. Looking at different shade families and applying one to the eyes looks very professional? Then you are done!
The most popular way to use a definer is by product purchasing two or three colors that are close in color family and mixing together for an extended period of time. This can be used as an alternative to adding more colors to your collection, as some sales might not come around that often.
Another way to use a definer is by applying one color and regionally rubbing it into the hood of the eye, leaving a slight bruise where the color has been applied.
Creating the perfect eyelid base
Definers are a great effects tool when it comes to creating the perfect eyelid base. There are many brands that offer different sized containers that range from very small and transportable to full-sized products.
We will be using Cheetah as our definer here, but any smaller container of matte Eyeshadow should work the same. The trick is to choose a definer that creates a nicely blended finish across your eyelid base.
Some people find that some lighter or darker blanks give their eyes more shape and interest than others. We will be using two blanks for our eyes, one neutral and one with some color, so there is some space for improvement!
The trick is to match your bases correctly so they look right on you.
Which brushes do I need?
There are two main kinds of brushs used for makeup. The first is a blush brush, which is used to apply blush or foundation. The second is a shadow brush, which can be used to apply shadow or highlight.
Blush and foundation artists use very different kinds of blush and foundation brushes. Benêtina blush brushes are crafted with richly colored foundations and top glosses easily.
Barely there any rules for how to chose a blush or foundationbrush. They must be soft, cruelty free, etc. Most new artists find the loose-billed natural looking ones ideal.
Whether you are a beauty blenders or just starting out, buying blades that are different widths can help get better fit and coverage.
What are the rules for defining eyes?
A defining eye look can be tricky as there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Depending on what look you want to create, what colors you want, and what shapes your eyes, there are different ways to define your eyes.
Many people use slight contour lines on the lower part of the eyelids to define the outer corners. Then, they use a brighter color or stronger formula somewhere inside the eye space to emphasize the iris and create a richer shape.
Other people use an eyeliner that is almost nonexistent, just a slight line around the outer edge of the lid. Then, they use a different colored mascara and let it completely cover up that line, resulting in an almost floating look.
Finally, some people add really strong eye makeup elements like putting false lashes on or using natural ones to achieve this.
Should I use pencil or powder?
Paragraph. An important decision to make as a makeup artist is whether or not to use an eyeliner and eyelashes for mascara. Both products and/or tools are provided at beauty salons for this purpose.
Many people choose not to go this route due to the difficulty in applying the eyeliner and slightly longer time to apply and wear the product. Others feel that their looks are better with just natural looking eyelashes and a pencil, making the difference be color.
Yet another popular way to apply powder is through bronzer or contour. Using a powder that is darker than your skin tone will give you a more contoured look. A great way to use this is by setting your top layer with some moisturizing cream, then set in after with the desired amount of bronzer or contour product.
How should I apply my shadow?
Definer shadow is a very special shade that gently pulls away the under-eye fold crease. This can be tricky, because it requires some practice! But, don’t let that scare you! It is worth it!
Definer shadow is typically lighter in tone than regular eye shadow and will pull away the under-eye fold crease. As such, it will not apply as smoothly or evenly. You will need to use a primer to remoisture your skin and make your shadows more transferable.
To apply defiler shadow, go about a quarter of the way down the inner corner of your eyes (the lower half), and pick up a defiler shade roughly one eighth of the way up the eyelid. With each step, you will decrease the distance between the eye and light so that you can see what shade you are applying and feel comfortable with how far it pulls away the under-eye fold crease.
Put it in place, press down slightly to set, and slide up to remove. This should take about five to ten seconds per row.
What colors work best for a dramatic look?
Most people start searching for eyeliners and cremes because they want a quick and easy look that looks like wear-all-the-time. But, if you are looking to further enhance your look, then be more selective about which products you use.
Some colors work better for emphasizing the shape of the eyes area such as gold, red, and brown. These colors add a little bit of texture to the eyes area making it look more dramatic.
Another good tip is to keep some foundations and eyeliners in your beauty emergency kit. You can switch out one or two products when the need arises but always have some in your kit in case you need them.
Be careful with which brands you buy though as they may say allergen on them so be safe and do not buy anything that has those words on it.
