GUIDE TO MAKEUP : part 2


You can be a woman who wants to look good and still stand up for the equality of women.

In the previous part, we divided makeup products into four parts, namely: 

  1. Complexion Products

  2. Eyebrow Products 

  3. Eye Products

  4. Lip Products

So, in today's article lets understand the basics about – Eyebrow and Eye Products! Let's get started.


BROW PRODUCTS

  1. Brow Pencil - A brow pencil is ideal for mimicking real hairs and creating a natural brow. The finer the tip, the more precise you can be. Pencil formulas come in a classic pencil format, or they can be made in a waxy formula that has a fine nib that makes application easier. 

  2. Brow Powder - A brow powder is used to fill in your brows to give the appearance of fuller, thicker brows. It’s great for filling in sparse areas and giving a natural finish.

  3. Brow Pomade - A pomade is a waxy formula (think of a dry wax mixed with powder) and gives a more defined, dramatic brow, while the formula also helps to keep the brows in place. It often comes in a small pot and should be applied with a small angled brush.

  4. Brow Gel - A brow gel is often used to keep unruly brows in place, while some brow gels are tinted to add definition and thickness to your brows. 

Tip: If you don't want to invest in a Brow Gel, you can always use a Mascara that is almost over to set your brows.


EYE MAKEUP

  1. Eyeshadow - An eyeshadow is a coloured powder, and they can be matte, shimmering (which contain pearl pigments), glittery or duo-chrome (the colour changes between two colours depending on the light shift). The most important thing to consider when buying a new eyeshadow is pigment-payoff, which essentially means how bold the colour appears. The more pigmented it is, the less product you’ll need to use, but the more you’ll need to blend.

  2. Liquid Eyeshadow - A liquid liner delivers a highly pigmented liquid formula via a felt tip applicator or a small brush. The more precise the applicator and the more fluid the formula, the easier it is to apply.

  3. Gel Liner - A gel liner comes in a small pot and needs to be applied with a small angled brush. The creamy formula is typically longer wearing than a liquid liner, but it can be more difficult to apply.

  4. Pencil Liner - This is a soft pencil and often comes in a ton of colours; from black (which is ideal for a smoky eye) to every colour under the rainbow. Pencil liners don’t typically give a lot of precision, but they’re great for the lower lash line. We like to use a beige or white pencil liner on the waterline of the lower lashes to open up the eyes and make them appear bigger.  

  5. Mascara- Mascara will give the appearance of thicker, fuller lashes and you can opt for a normal or waterproof formula. Plastic wands will help to separate and lengthen the lashes, and natural bristle brushes help to thicken and add more drama.
