Mumbai: A little shimmer on the eyes can brighten up anybody's face. Especially, if you have small eyes, it pops them open. It can be used during the day or at night.
To achieve this look:
- A little gold or silver shimmer packed on top of any existing makeup is an easy way.
- If you want to create dramatic and shimmery eyes, then start with an eye shadow base across your eyelids. Apply a white pencil over the eyelid. This helps the colour pop even more. Assuming you have gold in your clothes, apply a gold eye shadow on the entire lid. Take another eye shadow that complements your outfit and apply in on the outer corner of your eye not covering more than 1/4th of the lid. You can extend the darker colour outside to add some more drama. Blend both colours and ensure that no harsh lines are visible.
- Fill in eyebrows with a brown or grey eye shadow and correct their shape too. Apply a white or beige shadow right under the brow to highlight that area and give a higher brow effect.
- Line your eyes as desired, curl your lashes and then add layers of mascara. Finally, take some gold shimmer on a small brush or even your finger tips and pack it in the gold area of the eye shadow. Hold something flat like a visiting card right above the lashes to avoid any fall out.
