Intense and unique shade
Rely on a rich, colorful eyeshadow. Choose well the combination that you will do with your clothes and with the rest of your makeup, even with the color of your hair. Primeo use a primer to make the pigmentation more intense, then apply the shadow and blend the edge well so that it is adapted to the upper eyelid. You can use a dark eyeliner and heavy lashes, so the look will not go unnoticed.

Smokey eyes
The Smokey Eyes movement

You can play with two shades, one lighter in the tear duct area and darker in the outer part of the eye.

Next we will break down the different glitter that we can create, for this, we will use glitter shadows, pigments, eyeliners ... an infinite universe that will make our eyes the center of attention.
Glitter shadows for party makeup
The first option for our glitter makeup is from the shadows. In this way, once we have our face made up, it is the eyes' turn. Opt for smokey eyes, to get a smoky and intense look. There are shimmer shadows that have a texture composed of color and a touch of glitter, making our eyes shine with the reflection of light.
If, on the other hand, we want to increase the intensity of the shine, the best option is to use a gel shadow or special pigments directly. Pigments are shadows like loose powders. To apply them better, we can use a fixing gel on the mobile eyelid and then the pigments. As a trick , the rest of the face and lip makeup should be in the background, so that the eyes are the real stars.
Glitter eyeliner
Another way to apply glitter is to do it as an eyeliner. A part as basic as the eyeliner can be more striking and attractive if we dare to do it with a touch of shine, managing to give our eyes personality and shape. Break the barriers of black or brown eyeliner and surprise everyone with a silver or light blue, pink or mauve eyeliner, the choice is yours!
And now we are going to give you some tips so that you get better finishes.
Tricks for a good eye makeup
Makeup, in general, is not easy and when it comes to the eyes much less. Therefore, taking into account the recommendations of professionals and experts will make us achieve more effective results and in a simpler way. So today we want to teach you some very useful tricks ... If you know any more that we have not mentioned, do not hesitate to tell us yours and thus enrich us all.
1. Most of the times when we try to put makeup on our eyes, we end up staining other areas of the face, so to avoid this, it is best to apply a little powder to prevent it from sticking to the face.
2. One of the tricks most used by professionals to help the shadow last longer is to apply makeup base on the eyelids before putting makeup on the eyes.
3. If we want our lashes to look more abundant , we can apply eyeliner as close to them as possible to achieve this effect.
4. We will only use liquid eyeliner if we know how to use it correctly and we have a good pulse, otherwise, it is convenient to use a durable and quality pencil eyeliner , ensuring a more precise and correct final result.
5. To make the eyes feel bigger, we will use a white eyeliner on the lower edge of the eye.
6. The shadow color that we use is important, since neutral colors will be a safe bet most of the time while darker tones should be used with caution , specifically if you do not have very big eyes.
7. If we want to apply concealer for dark circles, it is advisable to use orange or salmon colors to counteract the black or worn lower color of the eyes.
8. To intensify the appearance of large eyes it is also important to take care of the eyebrows so that they are perfect and plucked correctly.
T rends in eye makeup
As every year, new trends come to the fore with daring, innovative proposals and others that are reinvented. And as we have already said, in the world of makeup the proposals are endless. Have you heard of the Dot Eyeliner? Star Eyes? Holographic shadows? Inverted Smoke Eye? Unicorn Eyes? Tightlining? Do not freak out. It is time to discover what are the most daring trends for this 2018.
Dot Eyeliner
The simplicity of painting a small dot under the lower lash line will make your look stand out as daring, enigmatic and avant-garde . This trend is back stronger than ever and the Dot Eyeliner is a very creative alternative when it comes to putting on makeup and the way to do it is very simple. An icon of this look is Geraldine Chaplin, wearing it since she started her professional career.
If you want to try it, you just have to use an eyeliner. Calculate the center of your lower lash line and draw a dot with the size you like best , without going overboard.
If it seems too little for you, pay attention to the next one.
Why not stars?
As always, you have to stay one step ahead when it comes to trends and many models and actresses have gone further with the Dot Eyeliner. Instead of using a normal eyeliner they have used decorative elements such as a star, making a more daring and mysterious look.
But you can still be more surprised.
Holographic shadows
The evolution in shadow makeup has taken a step forward with holographic shadows. They have a hypnotic and very intense effect, being much more powerful than glitter shadows. They are luminous shadows made with metallic pigments that make light reflect in all directions. Ideal for a night party or special occasions as they have a more sophisticated finish.
These shadows are designed to be the center of attention of your look, therefore, you must take care of the rest of the makeup making it more natural so as not to detract from the strength and prominence of your eyes.
We give the Smokey a spin and never better said in the following trend.
Inverted Smokey Eye
Of course, Kim Kardashian surprised us with this type of makeup, using an inverted smoke that shows a fantastic look , enhancing a natural but intense look. The elaboration is simple, we carry out a reverse smoky effect, that is, the gradient will go on the lower eyelid , leaving the mobile eyelid lighter, with pearlescent or orange tones, even light brown, depending on your skin tone.
Do you like to feel unique? Go ahead
Unicorn eyes
The unicorn revolution is constantly expanding and has ended up reaching the eye makeup. One of the craziest trends in social networks is the unicorn outline and now that carnival is here, it can be the ideal complement for a costume party. It consists of simulating the unicorn's horn in the eyeliner, with pastel shades, with the chromatic scale of the rainbow.
If you are not very trained with delineation, you can do it only in two or three colors, depending on the effect you want to give. Trace a normal eyeliner and then, with a fine eyeliner, create the effect around the first eyeliner.
Tightlining, the invisible liner
This technique has a clear standard-bearer that has been using it for years, it is Angelina Jolie. She usually uses nude makeup, which apparently shows the most natural face. Well, Tightlining consists of delineating the water line of the upper eyelashes , so we must choose a waterproof eyeliner, since we are drawing the wet area of the eye. If possible, we will choose one with the fine tip, thus facilitating precision.
To do this , we have to lift the upper eyelid a little with our finger and carefully draw the water line. With this technique we will be able to emphasize the look, defining the eye.
Come on, we have the last one.
Eyeliner floral
This is the quintessential trend if you are a true fan of spring and summer festivals. It is a fun, fresh and a bit 'hippie' proposal.
Dare with an animated complement such as the flower eyeliner, easier to do than you imagine. The architect of this proposal is the Norwegian blogger Marit Isachsen , who through her Instagram account has surprised the world with various artistic makeup designs, such as flower outlines. The technique consists of drawing flowers in mini size with a fine-tipped brush and the colors that we want to carry in our eyes.
