Eye Makeup | Fashion Passion
Eye makeup is a type of cosmetics which aims to make the eyes look noticeable and attractive. It is mostly used by females, and by stage performers of all types. Eye makeup is an important part of the fashion and cosmetic industries. The main types of eye makeup are:
· Mascara
· Eye shadow
· Eye liner
The idea can be taken much further. The color of the eye can be altered by using contact lenses. Glitter and other appliqués can be stuck on near the eye. Fake eyelashes or eyelash extensions are possible. Eyebrow plucking is quite common for brunettes. For an array of eye makeup Fashion Passion brings you great online shops such as BeautyBrands.com and Beauty.com.
Eye liner
Eye liner is a cosmetic used to define the eyes. It is applied around the contours of the eye, along and above the edges of the eyelids where the eyelashes grow. Eye liner is often applied just on the outer half of the eye.
Depending on its texture, eyeliner can be softly smudged or clearly defined. There are four main types available on the market:
· Liquid eyeliner is an opaque liquid that usually comes in a small bottle and is applied with a tiny brush or felt applicator. It creates a sharp, precise line.
· Powder-based eye pencil is eyeliner in a wood pencil. It is generally available in dark matte shades.
· Wax-based eye pencils are softer pencils and contain waxes that ease application. They come in a wide variety of intense colors as well as paler shades such as white or beige. Wax-based eyeliners can also come in a cone or a compact with brush applicator.
· Gel eye liner, which can easily be applied with an eyeliner brush.
Mascara
· Mascara is a cosmetic used to darken color, thicken, lengthen, or define eyelashes. Historically, it was, and still is, usually black, but now it also comes in many colors and tints. Mascara comes in three forms: liquid, cake, and cream. It is available in tubes with wand applicators. Ingredients in mascara include water, wax thickeners, film-formers, and preservatives.
Eye shadow
· A powder eye shadow palette with brown shades for normal day wear; the two center colors are sparkly while the silver and white shades are for creating shadows and highlights.
· Note eyebrow plucking; simple black eye liner; good choice of lipstick color; feminine lacey neckline.
· Eye shadow is a cosmetic that is applied on the eyelids and under the eyebrows. The average distance between eyelashes and eyebrows is twice as big in women as in men. Pale eye shadow visually enlarges this area and has a feminizing effect.
· Eye shadow can be applied in a variety of ways depending upon the desired look. Typically application is done using sponges, fingers, and/or brushes. The most important aspect of applying eye shadow, and makeup in general, is blending well.
· To remove eye shadow, a commercial eye makeup remover may be used, though a face wash will usually remove all traces of color. Generally it is easy to remove, and simple water and soap can be used. Eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara may also be removed using baby oil or olive oil. There are also makeup wipes that may be used.
