Makeup with black shadows

Daytime make-up, usually, is rather restrained and soft, but for evening release and any celebration it does not suit. Something more intense, emphasizing the color and depth of the eyes, attracting attention is required here. One of the popular options, which are used by many movie stars and show business, is makeup with black shadows. But remember that such makeup can accentuate fine wrinkles and skin defects, because women over 40 and those who have swelling ("bags") and bruises under the eyes do not recommend it.

How to apply black shadows?

It is known that not only every cosmetic product, but also individual shades have their secrets of correct application so that they look effective. And black shadows are no exception. Consider how to properly paint your eyes with black shadows:

1. First of all, before applying makeup it is desirable to make a cold compress on the eyes to remove even a small puffiness.
2. Then apply moisturizer and makeup.
3. Dark shades better look on a light background and can emphasize skin defects, so it is better to use a foundation for a tone lighter than the skin of the face, as well as a camouflage pencil (concealer), if there are any defects. To shade easily shading, apply a thick enough layer of friable powder.
4. Also a thick layer of powder under the lower eyelid will facilitate the removal of scattered shadows.
5. On the upper eyelid, the shadows are applied with a broad brush, without shading. Then higher use a light, more often, a white tone, and the transition line between two colors shade also with white shadows, but more dense shade.
6. On the lower eyelid, black shadows are superimposed in a thin band, only along the line of growth of the eyelashes.
7. Another nuance that should be taken into account is that black shadows are best taken matte , they look harmonious, and make them beautiful make-up much easier than using shiny shadows.
