Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro

(Marcin) #1

The Perfect Brow


The start of the brow should be aligned with the inner corner of the eye. The arch is three-quarters of the way across the brow from there.


EYE SHADOW


Eye shadow helps accentuate the eye and makes eye color stand out. It is also used to correct eye shape.


Formula and Texture


Eye shadow is available in many formulas and textures: powder, cream, and pencil, matte, sheer, shimmery, glittery, creamy, glossy, etc.


The Basic Eye


Most of the time, a simple, natural look works best. For everyday application, pick shades of shadow that bring out the eye color rather than shadows that make a
statement. The basic application is a simple, three-step process.


Crease Color or Contour


If you want to create depth or contour, choose a slightly deeper medium-toned shadow to sweep in the crease of the eye. Crease contour creates definition for puffy
or deep-set eyes and can make a stronger eye statement for evening. Begin the shadow at the outside edge of the crease, and move inward with your brush. Softly
layer the shadow, repeating and blending until you achieve the desired effect. Always use a blending brush or finger to create a smooth look.
