How To Create Striking Eyes in 3 Easy Steps

Fall 2011 Make Up Trends

This season make up is thoughtfully groomed for the highest level of precision.

The make up is reflective of this precise style bringing metallic finishes to the eyes accented with the most sculpted brows.

Creating this look takes a little practice and creates the most sophisticated finish for day and night!

Striking Eyes Step by Step

Well groomed brows create the look.
There is a magic V shape for all brows and when aligned, they will create a bold effect that commands attention. Imagine a line running vertically from the outside edge of the nose up to the brow - this where the brow should start for a clean a sculpted look. Next, imagine a 45 degree angled line from the same starting point connected with the outer corner of the eye - this is the end point for the brow. The arch of the brow should line up with the far outer edge of the iris.

Metallics shine so place them carefully.
Apply a bold metallic across the horizontal of the eyelid being careful not to go above the mobile lid. Make sure the intensity of the application is even from all viewpoints. Next, line the eye with a deep coloured pencil - black is a good choice here - focus on the outer rims. Lastly, use a lighter tone of metallic shadow to create reflection in the inner corner of the eye.

Mascara is a must.
Finally layer black mascara to create the full effect. Use a generous amount but be careful to avoid clumping.
