Introduction
There’s nothing better than putting on a little makeup before heading out on the town. Whether you’re going to a party, concert, or just out for dinner with friends, there are plenty of options for affordable, easy-to-apply makeup looks that will help you look your best. In this article we’ll discuss some of our favorite eye makeup looks from celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kristen Stewart as well as beauty bloggers like Lauren Riihimaki of LaurDIY.
Leopard Print Eyes
- Use a deep brown eyeshadow to create a base.
- Draw the leopard print with a black eyeliner pencil, starting at the center of your lash line and working outward in either direction, depending on how dramatic you want to be.
- Lightly dust some pink blush over the top for some color that won’t look too heavy or unnatural (it’s just supposed to look like makeup!). You could also try adding some light shimmer powder if that’s more up your alley!
Black Smokey Eyes
Black smokey eyes are classic, and they’re always in style. If you’re looking for a glam look that will have everyone buzzing about your eye makeup, this is the way to go!
- Use black eyeliner pencil or powder to define the shape of your eyes and create depth with color. A little goes a long way here–you want to just lightly define the edges of each eye without going overboard with it.
- Add volume by using black mascara on both top lashes and bottom lashes (if applicable). This can really bring out those beautiful green or blue eyes!
- Finish off with some dramatic lipstick in an equally dark shade like burgundy or navy blue!
Metallic Cat Eyes
To achieve this look, you’ll want to use a metallic eyeshadow. You can choose any color that suits your fancy–the darker and more intense the hue, the better. Apply it along your upper lash line in a thick stripe with an angled brush or sponge applicator (both sold at any drugstore). Then blend out any harsh lines with a fluffy blending brush or fingers.
Next, fill in your lower lash line with black eyeliner pencil (or liquid liner if you’re feeling ambitious!). This will create contrast between the two different shades of eye shadow and give off an illusion of thicker lashes than what’s actually there! Finish off by sweeping over both lids with some mascara to add volume at last step before heading out into public view!
Glittery Gold Eyes
- Apply gold eyeshadow all over the lid, blending it into the crease.
- Use a shimmery gold eyeliner to line your upper lash line and tightline your lower lash line (drawing along the base of your lashes).
- Apply a mascara in black or brown to start off with, but then add some glittery gold at the end for extra pizzazz! You can also add some shimmery gold shadow to intensify the look if you want to go there.
- Finish off this look with a bold lip color like deep red or rich pink–though don’t forget about lip gloss! It’ll help keep everything shiny throughout the night without being too harsh looking on camera flashes when photos are taken at parties where people tend not only want good memories but also proof that they were actually there when they go back home after having fun out together as friends/family members/lovers etc.”
Any of these looks will help you get the night off to a glamorous start.
These looks are all great for a night out. If you’re going to be out and about, it’s best to use a primer on your eyelids before applying any other makeup products. This will allow your eye shadow or mascara to last longer and prevent creasing.
For a more glamorous look, we recommend using brushes instead of fingers when applying eyeshadow or eyeliner–brushes give you more control over where the product goes (and prevents “cut creases”).
Conclusion
These are just a few ideas for how to wear your eyeshadow. If you want to try something new and different, there are so many looks out there that you can create! Whether you prefer bold statements or subtle elegance, there’s something here for everyone.
