How do you put eyeshadow in the crease? If you look at my page you will see my eye shape…I dont know exactly the shape. I dont know how to describe it. But Im part asian and black and I dont know how to put the darker eyeshadow in the crease without making my eye look funny.
First, don’t use too much color. Start with a light amount. Then close your eye to find the crease. Take your finger and press just above the eyeball. Where you can push in is your crease. Then, take our eyeshadow brush (which is perfect for the crease), and go back and forth with the color (like a windshield wiper). Be sure to blend the color well—that is the key…blend, blend, blend!!!!
Asian eyes are usually ‘hooded’. This means the upper lid hangs down past the crease, and most of the lower lid does not show. Because of this, it is important to create the illusion of a crease by extending out the original crease (see above picture)
Because of the unique problem, I suggest staying away from very dark colors. Instead, use light to medium colors. When using a crease color as instructed above, stick to a mauve or brown.
Liner: If the hood goes all the way down to the eyelashes, apply a small amount of liner on the top lashes, and full amount on the bottom. This helps to compensate for not being able to see the top eyeline. However, if you can see the top line, put very little on the bottom (see above picture), and line the inner eye with white pencil. Be sure to focus liner on the outer corner of the eye.
Review: Overall, focus on extending the crease, and focus on the outer corners of the eye to accentuate the shape of the eye. Do not use very dark colors, and try not to line the bottom lashes. A light shimmery color on the lid helps to open the eye.
EYES: It is all about the eyes for this look. To achieve these beautiful sexy smoky eyes, it doesn’t take much. Mystique from CDB will work perfectly for your shimmery silver & black shades and CDB’s Gold/Oro for the golden highlight around the inner corners of your eyes. For this look, keep the darker shades toward the outer crease and the shimmer highlights toward the inner crease of the eye. Start with Christopher Drummond Beauty’s “Beige” color all over the eye as a base. Follow with Gold/Oro. On the lower lid only, apply “Mystique” and blend well. Focus on the outer corner. Then, apply “Amethyst” on the middle of the lid to add depth.
The Elton John AIDS Benefit was last night, and evidently, it was for more of an “adult crowd”. All of the teeny boppers had other things to do, and this sophisticated event brought out some aged beauties who look absolutely phenomenal. This is definitely a group of over 35, yet they all look ravishing and beautiful. Some have gone under the knife, some have not (yeah, right). The point being, there is now no age for beauty, and even at 65, women are looking better than ever.
