MY FAVORITE EYELINERS

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back ….

If every girl has her signature beauty look, mine definitely includes a swipe of eyeliner.

When choosing a liner I look for a brand that stays all day, doesn’t smudge and has an applicator that is easy to use.

For this post I have four eye liners to share with you.

  1. The Lancome Grandiose Liner is completely unique and like no other liner that I’ve come across before. This is the liner that is all about that bend. What I mean by this is that the lid of the actual liner bends at an angle which enables you to create that perfect wing.
  2. The L’Oreal ultra precision liquid eyeliner in a sponge-tipped pen. A long-lasting precise line. Super liner is a liquid eyeliner in a special sponge tipped pen for the creation of fine lines or thick. Colour is applied with precision and ease and dries without smudging.
  3. Bourjois Liner Pinceau Eyeliner fluid formula, enriched with deep intense colour, stays in place all day. Its fine high precision brush applicator enables you to draw a thin or thick accurate line as you wish, so you can create an expert result in just a stroke!
  4. Rimmel Liquid eyeliner -Perfect definition. High colour intensity. This liner produces fine precise lines with one brush stroke. Film forming ingredients bond the colour pigment to the skin for long lasting wear.

Tried any of these? Have other favorites? Let me know down below!

Thanks 😉

Applying makeup, Eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner

/ Analucascardigos / 4 Comments

Hi everyone, and welcome back to my blog

Good eye makeup will accentuate the eyes and make your eye colour stand out. How you apply your makeup is entirely dependent on the look you are going for.

It’s important to learn about the shape of your eyes so you can bring out the best in your features. For example, if your eyes are close-set you may want to use a lighter colour in your inner corners to make them appear further apart.

Before applying eyeshadow, applying a cream eyeshadow base because it creates a beautiful texture and a smooth canvas for  eye makeup.

Always blend your eyeshadow well with a clean fluffy brush across the area  where your eyeshadow ends, to create a flawless finish.

Classic black mascara is best for all occasions but pick your mascara according to the look you want. when applying mascara, don’t pump the wand because this will push air into it and encourage it to dry out.

Work from the base to the tips of the lashes and roll the wand to avoid clamps. always apply from underneath so you don’t weigh down the lashes. Allow the mascara to dry before applying more coats if you want a more dramatic effect.

If you want a softer look, line your eyes with a powder eyeshadow using an angled brush. For a more dramatic look, use a gel or liquid liner to draw a line close to the lash line with a flick at the outer end. For an even more striking look, use a thicker line with a more accentuated flick at the end.

How to apply Eyeliner

/ Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone, Today I want to share some tips  how to apply eyeliner.

The application of eyeliner attenuates the shape of our eyes. Eyeliner applied in the right way can make you look sexy and elegant. Most the women face difficult in applying eyeliner.

Liquid eyeliner – While applying liquid eyeliner you should have control over the moves of the hand and should try to apply in small section starting right from the middle section of the  upper lash moving towards the outer corner of the eye.

Pencil eyeliner – Start applying the eyeliner from the outer corner of the eye along the lash line. Do not let your hand lose until you have applied eyeliner on the inner corner.

There are many ways to apply this type of eyeliner. You can keep it thick, thin, simple or dramatic.

  • If you have shorter eyes avoid applying a tick layer of eyeliner.
  • Do not apply your eyeliner in a circular shape.
  • Pencil eyeliner is easy to apply, but sometimes doesn’t spread as smoothly or thickly as gel or liquid liners.
  • Gel liners are matte and glide on easily. They sometimes come in a little pot with a brush.
  • To get fuller eyes, use liquid liner for the upper eyelid and pencil for the lower eyelid.
  • Eyeliner does not come in ordinary black shade only. On the contrary – you can colorize your fantastic party look with eyeliners in green, blue or even something more vigorous like orange or yellow.
  • Create a winged tip or cat-eye look to make your eyes look bigger, but only apply it on the top lid. Keep the bottom look eyeliner free and just dabble on some mascara.

Eyeliner is available in different forms in the market.
