Makeup Saturday/part 4/a 60’s makeup tutorial/eye make up

Mascara applied to lashes would complete the well groomed eye and is sufficient eye makeup for the early teens.

However if you wish to give more attention to the eye you may use the following procedure.

A mid highlight with a creamy pale shade is flattering to most eyes.

Never wear bright obvious evening colours.

(presume this is a day look and you are allowed to wear evening colours in the evening).

For contour and emphasis a taupe or brown shade is placed into the lid crease and just above the lid.

For portuding eyes a dark shadow on the lid will makes eyes seem less prominent.

For deep set eyes

A white or very light shade on the lid will make the eyes seem more prominent.

The three pairs of eyes below are exactly the same distant apart

These eyes seem to be closer

The effect was achieved by concentrating the shadow towards the nose and by bringing the eyebrows closer together.

Here the illusion of widely-spaced eyes

is created by placing the shadow and brows outward and far apart.

A Gleam of pearly white or beige on the bone just beneath the brow emphasises the bone structure.

Eyeliner is used to make the lashes seem longer

There should be no hard obvious line.

Apply as close to the lashes as possible and remember black can only be worn by girls with very black hair.

(Think it might say brown?) is a more flattering shade for blondes and brunettes as black adds harshness to the eye.

Mascara makes lashes look longer and fuller

Incidently, no amount of eye makeup will help if your eyes are drowsy and lacklustre.

To be wide eyed and alert a full measure of sleep is necessary.

The right food definitely relates to the clearness and sparkle of your eyes.

Vitamin A and plenty of water are essential for this.

After the mascara, separate the lashes with a clean brush.

Conclusion

I think the actual knowledge is really helpful.

Learnt some of this off a makeup blogger called lollipop pre covid but she left for some reason.

The eyeliner container looks like paint and she looks to have an actual paint brush.

I’d like to try this as it is the paintbrush size I used at art college for detail.

Already looked for pearly white eyeshadow but couldn’t find any.

Have some beige and taupe eyeshadow already possibly.

Mascara separator comb

This is the only thing in the video I learnt when I first started applying makeup. These used to be in every makeup brush set, but can’t get one anywhere.

It stops mascara clumping.

Thought this was a basic makeup brush?

Hope you enjoyed Makeup Saturday and learned something useful.

Next week is lipstick

Enjoy your Saturday
