Lifted Eyes

Shoot for the stars with this make-up idea for a lifted eye look! It is called Lifted Eyes Effect Make-up and it’s blowing up. Why? It is easily achieved and gives the eye a relaxed look while shifting the focus of make-up towards the temples. Get your brushes ready and let's master this eye look.

STEP 01

But first, Primer! Mist a primer onto the face to prepare it for make-up application and follow up with a moisturiser. Now, since the focus of this make-up is the eyes, give the eye area a boost of energy with a targeted eye mask. The super fun part? The eye mask patches are very easy to apply and can be left on while you apply your make-up to save time if you’re in a hurry.

STEP 02

Let's move on to the make-up: with a brown pencil (or at least a dark shade) intensify your gaze by drawing a line from near the upper lash line and over the eye, towards the temple, to create an elongated effect. Make sure you direct the stroke upwards to achieve the Lifted Eyes effect you desire. For a softer result blend gently. Now the eyeshadows: start in the centre of the eyelid with the lighter, shimmery finish shades and then blend one of the darker shades over the eyelid crease and out towards the temple then back in towards the corner of the eye, keeping in mind the 'lifting’ effect we want to create. Apply mascara to the lashes for volume.

STEP 03

Now let’s work on the base. Apply a BB cream with a natural finish, being careful around the eye area. With concealer (choose liquid, perhaps with a flock-tipped applicator for targeted use) camouflage any imperfections and discolouration. Blend the formula with a beauty blender so as not to risk covering the eye make-up, and as always blend it out towards the edges of the face. Apply blush to the upper part of the cheekbones and bronzer to the lower part.

STEP 04

With a suitable pencil define the lip contour and then add a touch of colour and radiance with a 3D volume effect gloss. The final touch? A tone-on-tone nail polish in the same shade as the lipstick (we went for a brownish pink).
