Liner NotesLiner notes Another Paris fashion week is now behind us, but if the makeup on the runway was any indication, there’s one trend that’s not taking the backseat anytime soon: statement eyeliner. Inspired by the Leonard Spring/Summer 2013 show, here are some of our favorite tips on how to make the look yours.
make it a matte canvas No matter how you shape it, a statement eye like this one is a lot of look. We're not saying we've never seen it paired with a dewy complexion on the runways—but in real life, heavy black liner looks best when it's not competing with shine. Keep in mind: there's a difference between matte and cakey, so rather than overdo it with the base, dust on a loose powder, and carry some blotting papers in your purse for touchups. don't forget to highlight Your browbones, that is. Heavy black liquid liner or shadow has a tendency to make the eyes look smaller. Fortunately, a little well-placed highlighter—for this purpose, a shimmery vanilla-hued shadow is perfect—creates a subtle eye-opening effect, much like curling your eyelashes does. know your formula You can easily get the look like the one you see at the right using only a soft kohl pencil and a short, wide smudge brush. But for a precise cat eye that goes the distance and lasts all day, you're much better off with a long-wearing gel formual and a tapered eyeliner brush. Looking to line your waterlines? Stick with a traditional pencil. blush it on While we definitely don't advise trying out a full-throttle rosy cheeks with any sort of dramatic eye makeup, we do recommend a subtle healthy flush so that you don't look washed out. Minimal and clean is what you're going for here; think soft, peachy pink, and don't forget to blend. Comments:
