Don’t we all love to sport something fresh and unique for makeup? Bored of the same smokey eyes and winged liners? Wish to create something different and stand out in the crowd? Then, today I have a fresh ‘summery’ makeup, which will make you look unique and not part of the crowd. This eye makeup tutorial is simple and can be done even if you have just a few minutes in hand. You can easily tweak the colors used in this eye makeup. If you are in a hurry, you can even skip applying a base eyeshadow in this look and just wear a scalloped eye liner!
Here is the list of products, which were used to achieve the scalloped eye makeup look:
Let’s begin the makeup tutorial!
Draw a curved one and a half inch scalloped-like pattern on a piece of paper and cut it carefully with a scissor. Use a sharp scissor for creating neat and clean edges in the eye makeup. This will act as a stencil for the eye makeup.
The curves needn’t be very perfect as it is an eye makeup and imperfections too will add a special touch to your overall look. But, just try to keep it similar in size for a neat and even finish. Cut out the design in a rectangular shape as it will help to keep it in place while working with it on the eyes.
Start applying an eye cream to moisturize and relieve any dryness in the under eye area. Gently use the ring finger to apply and blend the product. Allow it to be absorbed, and then apply your favorite concealer. If you have very pigmented eyelids, then it is best to use a corrector prior to the application of the concealer. Set the concealer with powder to avoid creases and fine lines.
Then pick a green eyeshadow and apply it to the entire eyelid area of your eyes. It is best to use a flat brush and pat the color to build good intensity. I used a matte green for this step, but you can also tweak the finish to shimmery or satin.
Then, gently place the stencil over your eye lid area near the upper lash line. Please check whether your stencil fits the entire eyelid area starting from the inner corner of the eyes to the outermost corner. Pick your favorite liquid liner and slowly fill in the gaps in the cut out design. After applying the liner, just wait for 3 seconds to allow the liner to dry out completely as it might smudge out of the design if it is still wet. It is best to use a liquid eye liner, which has a faster drying formula for this eye makeup, so you don’t have to hold the stencil on your eyes for a long time. Then, slowly remove the stencil and there you have gorgeous scalloped eye makeup. You can store the stencil easily for future use and once you get the idea of stenciling, you can easily make desired shapes like small triangles or zig-zag patterns—it’s all about fun and being creative at the end of the day!
To finish it off, apply the same green eyeshadow to your lower lash line to balance the eye makeup. Line your waterline and tight line your eyes with a dark black kajal. Curl your eyelashes and follow it up with mascara to create an illusion of thicker eyelashes.
