I want to give my eyes that dark, sunken look via make-up. How should I do this?Sunken eye makeup?
Umm. Kinda of a strange look. Deffinitly not everyday!
Well I looked at some pictures to really get what a sunken eye may look like.
I will give you bare basic technique.
Apply a very light colour over you whole eye area. In the crease of your eye apply really dark brown shadow. blend it only the slightest out onto your eye lid. By creating a rainbow effect it will make your eye look more roundish making it look sunken-ish. You may also want to 'pull' the shadow downwards and out on the outside of your eye.
When I was looking at the pictures I seen the similiarities that the crease of the eye was REALLY dark and the rest looked pale in comparison. And also the dark brown shadow will be using a defining technique.
On the underneath of your eye I can say put a not so dark brown in the undereye crease ( not where to dark eye circles appear but the one that runs across under the lower lashes.
Reapply the lighter colour
I just tried this on my self because i found the question intriuging. It worked on me. Just not as sunken at the pictures. Because I do not have large eyes to begin with to play around like that. If you have big eyes it should work.
You can also use grey, it may work better ( i just do not have any on hand) The key is to apply the shadowing basically around the eye socket to define it more)
I'll reply again if I find a better technique.
Hope this one helps a little though.Sunken eye makeup?
To get a sunken look, darker and lighter shades of the same color would work nicely together, like for example dark purple with lighter purple. If you put the lighter purple on your lid and smudge the darker purple into the crease of your eye, it will create a shadow to look more dramatic and sunken.
dark brown matte shadows. medium near the eyelashes and your darkest color in the crease. and your highlight on the brow bone. also bring a little of your medium color into your crease. be sure to blend it all good. try mac colors, Expresso, %26amp;Charcoal Brown.
put on and eyelinear around ur eyes first then smudge it out with those sponge. on both upper and lower of ur eyes.

Choosing Eye Makeup?
I have brown eyes and most of the time my pupils are very large. I'm not a big make up person at all.. the most i wear is very little eyeliner on certain occasions. I was wondering what would be the best eyeshadow/mascara/eyeliner color for me to use to bring out the color of my eyes and perhaps brighten them? And the best products?
Also, I would prefer a more natural look; one that doesn't draw much attention but has a great effect. I don't want my eyes to feel heavy either.
Here is a picture to be more specific...

I agree with the Almay for brown eyes. They should have 2 ';levels.'; One will be darker and one lighter. Since you're not big into eyemakeup, choose the lighter collection.
They will have 3 eyeshadows and you can smudge the darker brown shade into your lashline as a soft/ blendable eyeliner and then use the rosy and lighter brown on the rest of your eye. Try it a few different ways (use your imagination) and wash off at home before you decide.
I also have dark brown eyes and don't like to wear a lot of make up. I use light shimmery colors.....usually different shades of brown. I use a brown/black mascara and black eyeliner, but only on the bottom of my eye and just a little bit. You can also use a brown liner. The light shimmer really brings out they eyes and also helps w/dark circles or bags. If it's evening I will put on a little bit of a rose colored blush....just enough to give me color.
I love my make up from Mary Kay...its great! Get their Black Mascara, and get brown and light pink eye shadow....use light pink on the bottom half of your eye lid and brown on the top half, then use a light brown eyeliner, then add a touch of sparkles to make them shine! And to blend it all together take a brush that you would use for blush and brush your eye make up to blend it!
Good Luck!!

Dramatic eye makeup...?
I have big brown eyes
that I love
but every time I attempt to do a smokey eye
I look weird
I barely wear any makeup as it is now
but I want a more dramatic look
kind of like the cat eye look
any help?
%26lt;3Dramatic eye makeup...?
With large brown eyes, a smokey eye can look a bit heavy, so its really not the best look for that type of eye, but if you do want to try that look use some charcoal and dark purple shadow instead of the typical browns or blacks, then for the liner do a pencil in a chocolate brown or black and extend it out on the outer corners of your eyes for a cat eye look, and then finish up with a black mascara. Remember to not put the liner too far above your lash line because it will look heavy, so just work it into the lash line. This type of makeup will make your eyes look smaller and if you dont want your eyes to look smaller just apply some white eye liner or light shadow into the inner corner of your eyes or the bottom lash line. Also with a dark eye remember to tone down all your other make up like the cheek and lip, because when the whole face looks too done up, it looks a bit cheap.Dramatic eye makeup...?
try this
dust a dark brown on your eyelid close to your eyelashes (recommend covergirl eyeshadoe) then apply a tannish sparkle color above it.. thisgives you a natural look but very sexy at the same time.
hope i helped : ]
Put on dark eyeliner on top and bottom lashes. And wear brown eyeshadow. You could use greys as well...but don't over do it. Wear your mascara thick to make your lashes pop.
don't wear makeup...it is stupid
SMOKY EYES:
you cant go wrong with dark matted colours. the smokey eye look is great and so easy to achieve when you know how.
youll need: eye primer (you dont NEED it but its best for keeping your eyeshaddow put), two shaddows (one light, one dark), eyeliner, eyeshaddow brush and mascara.
firstly youll need to prep the lid, this is the key to keeping your eyeshaddow put all day long. this will also stop your shaddow melting into your eyelid crease after a few hours. to do this, start wil an eyeshaddow base/primer. try MAC's prep and prime eye or fresh freshface perfecting eye primer.
then youll need to apply eyeliner. if your going for a typical black, brown or grey smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colours above your lash line, making the line thicker in the middle of the eye. if you want to go for something a little different ie a jewel-toned colour, then violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye, so line the eyes with a purple, blue, or deep green liner. again, mac make great eyeliners but i also like ones by tigi, maybelline and loreal, so experiment untill you find something you like using.
then blend in the colour on the bottom of your lashes. for colour on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) youll need a lighter eyeliner. the key is to smudge it slightly. you can also apply a bit of shaddow to get a full smudge effect. personally, i find rimmel eyeshaddows great and theyre reasonably priced too!
next, apply a light base colour. again, the key to the smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with a darker hue. i prefer nice cream shades for my base which are very readily available. sweep a light, shimmery shaddow over your lids to your brow bone. try stilla's whipped eye shaddows. they are of a kind of mousse consistency and really do seem to stay on forever. taupe and pearl are must-have colours.
now blend in the darker colour, but keep the colour below the crease or youll risk looking like you have two black eyes. now that you have the base and eyeliner on, its time to get the smokey effect. you need a darker shade of eyeshaddow for this. using an eyeshaddow brush, blend in colour starting at your lash line and blending up. make sure to blend colour into the lash line so the eyeliner dissapears. stop the deep colour at the crease. then just double check your work to check that your eyes match and you can even blend the colour with a cotton bud if you want.
almost done. finish with several coats of volumising mascara like dior's show mascara or loreal paris volume shocking mascara.
...one more thing, remember to keep your lips to a nude colour otherwise you may end up looking a bit like a drag queen lol.
PRETTY EYES:
pretty, springtime eyes can be created using some of the new pastel, frosted eyeshaddow colours. try some of the new offbeat colours like pink or yellow. use them to line all the way around your eyes.
again, firstly youll need to prep the lid, this is the key to keeping your eyeshaddow put all day long. this will also stop your shaddow melting into your eyelid crease after a few hours. to do this, start wil an eyeshaddow base/primer. try MAC's prep and prime eye or fresh freshface perfecting eye primer. then the rest is simple, just apply your colour, if you want two seperate colours then remember to blend, blend, blend. finish off with some brown or black mascara and there you have it, another great look.
this look is great for eyes that are close set, use lighter coloured eyeshaddow on the inner portion of the lid towards the nose and darker eyeshaddow on the outer edge of the lid. (reverse technique should be used to apply eyeshaddow for widely spaced eyes).
NEUTRAL COLOURS:
the best make-up colours for brown eyes are actually neutrals. try colours in the brown family like taupes and peaches. l'oreal do some lovely neautral shades. try to somewhat coordinate your look. i dont mean your shaddow should be beige, your blush should be beige, and your lipstick should be beige. i dont mean a monotone colour, just a coordinated one.
apply primer as described previously. apply eyeliner under the eyes (above eyelashes) and a thin line above the eyes close to the eyelashes. grab your eyeshadow brush that is thinnest and dab it in the eyeshadow. raise your eyebrows, find the crease of your upper eyelid (where you might feel the bone for the top of your eye socket), and then take the brush and line it with the eyeshadow. do it as if you're holding a pencil and you're using it to draw on your eyes. do this to make a half circle above your eyes. (don't go too far out to the side of your face when doing this step).
to do the bottom part of the eyeshadow, take out your thin brushed eyeshadow brush again and dab it in your black eyeshadow. (tap it on the rim to get rid of excess eyeshadow that could fall off the brush and leave unattractive black spots of eyeshadow under your eyes or on your cheeks!) with one easy motion, start by putting the brush under your bottom lashes and sweeping it from side to side in a straight motion to create the point under the eye on both sides.
touch up by making sure no excess eyeshadow fell onto unwanted places on your face and adding a little concealer to seal the deal. and you're done!
COORDINATE YOUR COLOURS:
if you are wearing shaddows from the brown family, try a peach blush. if you are wearing a more colourful shaddow like violet or blue, use a berry or rose coloured blush. keep like colours together: muted with muted. bright with bright.
make-up for brown eyes really has no rules. when selecting an eyeliner, you can go with dark browns for a natural look and black for a more intense look. you can frame your eyes with tons of mascara and not end up looking all panda eyed. play it up and emphasize it all you want.
hope this helps

Smokey eye makeup..?
how can i create a dramatic smokey eye for night? I'm getting pretty closewith darker shadow and black eye liner, but sometimes i think i look more gothic. How do i put sexy on instead of satanic?Smokey eye makeup..?
The simple black liner and dark shadow has a tendancy to look two dimensional and heavy. The best way to do a smokey eye is to find darker shadow with sheer glimmer or glitter in it. The lighter flecks define the eyes better than just liner alone. Another way to do this is to blend a tiny bit of light highlighter shadow in the inner corners and on the top curve of the eye.Smokey eye makeup..?
i watched it on what not to wear,
start with the lightest shade of brown, then the second lightest shde( a bit darker) and then get a kind greyish black color to end the colors. then blend the colors brown and darker brown then balck and darker brown (do it softly).then put sparkles or shimmer.
then wear eyliner, but the grey balck kind
sephora sells a kit. Its all about the right smuding makeup. Start dark around your eye and fade outwards. Use your fingers to smudge with fine tipped brushes.
use like a powder eyeliner and fade from dark shadow to light on your eyelid.... it looks great!
use three eyeshadows.
white, gray and smokey black.
before you use them, draw along your top lashlines with a black liner and give it a thin line. then above the thin line, sweep the black eyeshadow above it, the gray one above that one (it should be in the middle), then the white one above that one, and it should be swept just right below your eyebrows. for a dramatic and sexier look put on some fake eyelashes, or just use masacra to give it volume.
i do the smoky look with my brown eyes, try buying maybeleen black or smoky gray and add white to blend on top below brow area, then eyeline,,,

By using the gel eyeliner, the makeup is bold but stays put, that way you don't get that goth/vampire look.

Cute, simple, but dark eye makeup looks?
right now, all i wear is a heavy eyeliner (mac fluidline). i have small sort of asian eyes (because i'm half asian). i dont like how mascara looks on me, but i could probably get used to it! i'd like something that defines my eyes....
thanks!Cute, simple, but dark eye makeup looks?
Half-Asians ftw!
I'm not sure how different it is from your current routine, but for a while, I used a thick black line (winged at the end) only across my top lashline instead of around the entire eye. The effect makes your eyes look widened (because you're defining its longest side) and gives it that mysteriously elegant stare, almost a cartoonish appeal. I topped it with mascara that was black-violet.
I lined by using a damp smudge brush and rubbing it in Lancome's The New Black, which is a black shadow with silver glitter--it darkens your eyes while still giving it that pretty shine. You can also use a dark, glittery plum, or any dark color really. I don't suggest lining all the way to the inside corner, as that makes eyes look narrower and small--just taper the line until you're a few millimeters away from your nose.
*Right now, I like a simplified smoky eye using a really dark grey lining the outer edges of my eyes, a slate color over the lid and a shimmery silver on the inner corner. For this, I use Physicians Formula's Baked Shadow Palettes in Baked Smokes, which are pretty affordable and good quality.
Definitely use mascara and get a good eyelash curler. Both of these lift lashes away from your eyes, and the dark fringe lifted away really frames the eyes well. I'd recommend Imju's Fiberwig: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh鈥?/a>Cute, simple, but dark eye makeup looks?
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, I usually wing it when it comes to makeup. I get the best makeup looks that way.
I'd suggest going on youtube and searching for results and step by step directions.

The effect makes your eyes look widened (because you're defining its longest side) and gives it that mysteriously elegant stare, almost a cartoonish appeal. I topped it with mascara that was black-violet.
I lined by using a damp smudge brush and rubbing it in Lancome's The New Black, which is a black shadow with silver glitter--it darkens your eyes while still giving it that pretty shine. You can also use a dark, glittery plum, or any dark color really. I don't suggest lining all the way to the inside corner, as that makes eyes look narrower and small--just taper the line until you're a few millimeters away from your nose.
*Right now, I like a simplified smoky eye using a really dark grey lining the outer edges of my eyes, a slate color over the lid and a shimmery silver on the inner corner. For this, I use Physicians Formula's Baked Shadow Palettes in Baked Smokes, which are pretty affordable and good quality.
Definitely use mascara and get a good eyelash curler. Both of these lift lashes away from your eyes, and the dark fringe lifted away really frames the eyes well. I'd recommend Imju's Fiberwig: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh鈥?/a>Cute, simple, but dark eye makeup looks?
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, I usually wing it when it comes to makeup. I get the best makeup looks that way.
I'd suggest going on youtube and searching for results and step by step directions.
Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes????????
ok...i want to make my eyes POP!! and look bigger!!!
any tips???
someone said to use a dark blue eyeliner at the top and to make it extend past my lid and go up a little...but how do u do that???and what color eye shadow would i use with that???
also what makes brown eyes look bigger??brown or black eyeliner at the bottom??? and does the smudged look work??Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes????????
I have brown eyes- hated them until recently because I got all the same junk too. ';Use purples and Blues';, ';Just use greens!';, and all that stuff.
I have found that with my skin tone, I am fair skinned by the way, that my eyes really pop with a matte pink ((Sushi Flower)), or a matte orange ((Rule)). I also like anythink in Teal or Yellow. I also like to do alot of highlighting- which helps ANY eye color pop!
AND!!!!! I do that huge no-no and wear red lipstick at my age!!! (I am 23! ;) )) I love it!!!! Colors are your friend!! Don't listen to what others tell you!! Wear what you want!!! If you have the personality and the want to wear orange eyeshadow, do it!!!! And love yourself for it!! Wear it because it makes you happy, not because others say you should!!!Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes????????
With brown eyes you can go with blacks, browns and deep purples. Use the eyeliner on the top of your lid and on the bottom except don't outline your whole eye! at least not for every day makeup! Start on the outside and make a skinny line to about 3/4 of the way to finishing. same with the bottom. Then smudge it in on the bottom lid to make it look sexier.
My favorite makeup is Revlon. Don't buy anything liquid just the pencils that you can turn and it makes it go longer or just a regular pencil.
Shadow - I love the sexy smoldering black look! Definatley works with brown eyes!
use dark green olive black or even brown eye liner
use a light beige or yellow under your eye brow and at the tip of the inside of your eye then put a nice purple green or brown near the lid and do a color of your choice in the middle
remember purples go with purples or else it won't look the greatest green and browns together work wonders
finish with light pink blush and a peach pink lip color gloss
good luck
okay well if you have dark brown eyes then you might want to try a purple eyeliner itll really make them POP and bring out the colour in your eyes if you eyes are a hazel colour then you should try a dark brown eyeliner and a way to make your eyes look bigger and bright, try using WHITE eyeliner on the inner corners of your top and bottom lids
also mascara works really well to open up the look of your eyes
Try a couple coats of black mascara.
And a medium color brown eyeliner.
brown eyeliner will always look softer and much more natural but only use it on the top. wear dark brown curly mascara, on both top and bottom lashes. i have blue eyes, but my sister has brown and she wears white eyeliner sometimes too in the winter, which is cut. but try light golds or dark navys smudged around her lids and it looks really cute. try hite shimmery powder on the the very inside of ur eyes, which will look really cute and make ur eyes pop.
ok well use a light pink a cream or a very light gren. they will make your eye pop and it looks pretty with the pink on the eyelid and the cream under the brow.
