 Eye makeup jumped
to its higher fame in the 60-80s' of the 20th century during the blooming
of such celebrities as Brigitte Bardot and Maria Callas who introduced the new trend for
clearly highlighted eyes. Since then the fashion for accentuated eye-makeup gain
more elements and details throughout forty years still fashionable, though,
while a clear eyeliner is still one of the essential makeup tools for many.
Some time
back to history
Historians suppose
that women would highlight eyes in the ancient time in Egypt outlining
the eye contour. Both men and women would do it. Such makeup had nothing to do
with decoration but was based on the religious reason when the ancient God Gor
would be depicted as the clearly and heavily highlighted eye. Later on this
technique of God expression was used in Ancient Greece. The Chinese thoroughly
outlined their narrow eyes with the purpose to make them more impressive and
wider. The strict rules in Eastern countries allowed using eye-makeup as the
only possible way to decorate and underline the beauty for women. Then the eye makeup got duller and insignificant.
In the 20s of the 20thth
century the silent movies actresses would apply heavy eyeliner to make dramatic
look and they even exaggerated in doing this. However, lips exerted whole
attention in makeup in the 20s’ images. Since 50s' the revolutionary works y
several cosmetic brands turned the world upside down, including the innovative
cosmetic product, namely the liquid eyeliner which allowed even and smooth
line. In ten years the other colors were introduced as white, golden, silver,
green, blue and violet. The whole world was sunk in the splashes of colors and
eye makeup was not exclusion. Rare women would master the skills of applying
the appropriate and nice-looking lines and so, cosmetic companies in the 80s'
of the 20 century manufactured the cosmetic sets with the eyeliner
as must-have tool for makeup.
Eyeliners
Eyeliner, whether
liquid or solid, is used to draw a line over the contour of the upper eyelid with
the purpose to make eyes impressive and visually change the eye shape. The eyeliner
is used for daily and evening makeup with the slightest difference in the
intensity of color, width of line and shape.
Today
cosmetic brands manufacture a plenty of products that afford making eyes
attractive at ease. Such products include the liquid eyeliner, eye pencil of
various texture and eye-shadows to apply to make smoky eyes.
The liquid eyeliner
is produced in a container with a brush; it is consistent and is very
intensive. The thickness of the brush varies from manufacturer to manufacturer
and this is a real pain in the neck when consumers come to change the eyeliner
for that of the other brand. Such eyeliner is usually used to create the
classic urban makeup with strict and straight lines and for some evening-out
makeup.
An eye
pencil is also must-have for women makeup, as the simplest and most popular
tool to accentuate eyes. Depending on the width of the coloring agent and its
density the eye pencilas are used to draw perfect precise lines and also to
make retouched makeup when the lines are drawn with slightly blunt pencil and
then spread with the special sponge or a brush.
Cream-based
eyeliners are less demanded since they require perfect performance. And perhaps,
this technique is mainly used by professionals.
Eye shadow
can also be used as the eyeliner when smoky eye makeup needs to be created.
How to highlight eyes?
The eyeliner should be used with the special skill to achieve the proper result.
And no matter how perfect the
lines are. When a woman is not aware of the complexion and some particular
nuances of her appearance, she risks changing her look completely, and
sometimes for the worse.
The fashion
stylist recommend that round-eyed women need to draw a line onto the upper lid
from the corner to the upper edge with
the sharp soft eye pencil or liquid eyeliner with the thinnest brush making the
thinnest and delicate line. Ladies with small eyes should remember that eyeliner
should be used in thin line from the middle of the upper lid, and just at the
line of lash growth. When a woman has close-set eyes, the stylist advise that a
white eye pencil be used to accentuate the inner corner of the eye which
visually make eyes open and irradiate to look more attractive. Only women with
beautiful big eyes can afford highlighting the inner side of the lid edge.
Professional
stylists create more and more images for models from season to season using eyeliners,
and they recommend that women who tend to change something in their appearance
start experimenting in front of the mirror, at first. When the particular style
is found and liked, it may be practiced to draw perfect lines and make
incredible makeup as Brigitte Bardot and Maria Callas used to wear at their time of
triumph.
