Dimensional Eye: Make-up Trend for 2014



 

 Dimensional Eye:  Make-up Trend for 2014

Clinique's global make up artist Jenna Menard recently brought to display an exciting wearable eye make-up trend for 2014- dimensional eye, a multi-step look that can be achieved with a 4 shade palette alone.  The result is a gorgeous gradation of colour that dramatically draws attention to the eye.

Here's what you need and how to apply -

  • Preparing the lid with a cream base or eye shadow primer is your best bet. Begin by applying the primer across the lid using the doe foot wand and blend with finger.

  • Starting in the center of the lid, blend Shade 2 from the lash line to the crease making sure to blend in both directions. Use the Eye Shader brush to deepen the intensity of Shade 2 at the outer corner of the eye. Apply shadow only to one edge of the Eye Shader brush to get a more precise application.

  • Using the Eye Contour Brush, pat Shade 3 into the inner corner of the eye. Patting the colour instead of dragging achieves a better concentration of pigment.

  • Apply Shade 1 using the Eye Liner Brush to the inner corner and on the brow bone to add a contrasting highlight.

  • Apply Shade 2 to the lower lash line concentrating at the outer corner and blending inward using the Eye Definer Brush.

 

  • Using the Eye Definer Brush blend Shade 4 into Shade 2 on the lower lash line to deepen the colour.

  • Finally, press Shade 4 into the top lash line using the Eye Definer Brush to add definition.

  • Do not forget to sign off with Lash Power Mascara in Black Onyx to keep lashes looking natural with a few coats of mascara. Add definition with a few swipes on the lower lash line.

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with your makeup. Try something different. If you are used to using only a beige/champagne/nude powder eye shadow try a subtle shade in a different texture. This small change will open doors for you.
