Linder Eisner, creator of Pencil Me In Cosmetics, offers solid tips for accentuating your eyes:
When creating exotic looks, use your contour colors (the darker colors) to create the illusion of depth and the highlight color (the light & bright colors) to bring the area forward. Darkness pushes in and lightness brings forward. The easiest way I have found to explain my meaning of highlighting and contouring is to use your cheeks as an example. Apply a dark matte color under your cheek bone in a straight line going towards your ear. Move your brush back and forth several times to blend the color well. The darkness is pushing-in the skin & creating an illusion of high cheek bones. Next apply the cheek color (blush) onto the cheek area in a soft circular motion also blending well. Then on the area above the cheek bone, apply a light or even frosted color. Apply this at the same angel as the contour color and blend. The darkness pushes the cheek in whereas the light color pulls the cheek out. This technique gives the illusion that you have high, well-defined cheek bones. The same basic concept applies when creating fabulous eyes. A darker color pencil is applied into the crease of the eye and blended well. Then a medium color pencil is blended onto the eye lid. The lightest or frosted color is then applied directly under the eyebrow. Apply many colors to increase the glamour. To maximize the intensity & be even more creative, dab a brush with any eye shadow color you like. Gently pat it over the blended pencil color. The powder will adhere to the pencil creme. When eye shadow is blended with pencil in this way, you can create truly exotic eyes. Experiment with the concept and have fun with it. I’d love to see your one of a kind creations!!!
