Stay tuned because I've got three tips
that are really going to
help open, lift, and brighten
your eyes; you ready, let's get started.
The first thing I like
to do as a makeup artist
on my clients and on myself when I start
my makeup is to curl eyelashes.
Now if you've curled
your eyelashes before,
stay tuned because I've got some really
cool little tips I think is going
to help you create an even better curl
and if you've never curled
your eyelashes before,
this is the perfect
opportunity for you to create
really beautiful, pretty lashes simply.
So what you're gonna need
is some eyelash curlers
and the ones that I've sourced
and love in my makeup kit
are these ones from Japonesque.
I've tried lots of lash curlers
and these curlers that have
been professionally designed
for makeup artists, in my view,
give the best lash curl possible.
You place at the root,
press really hard, okay?
So 30 seconds, you will want
to put real pressure on this
because we want to get maximum curl
and you'll notice that I'm
doing this with two hands.
One to press, and one
over the top to steady.
So I've done one curl,
so if you can imagine
this is my straight lash
and I've done a curl right
at the root here okay so it's
almost like one, one bent.
If you've got long lashes
you may want to curl
them again at the tip here
so you get a really beautiful
curve around, I'm going to show you.
Hold the lash curler slightly up
just to get the tips, and release.
To really get that kind of open eye
once you curl the lashes it's important
to choose mascara that
helps lengthen your lashes.
And this is particularly
important if you find
your lashes are really quite short
or perhaps you feel your eye
just needs an extra open.
To do that you want to create as much
length in your lashes as possible.
So I use this Code VLM Mascara
which is super clever because it contains
lots of tiny tiny little
fibers that adhere to your
lashes and help build that length.
It's really good for contact lenses
because none of these fibers fall out
and it's also really good because
on each application it actually works
to encourage your lashes to grow more.
So let me show you how I
like to apply this mascara
so you can really start
to see the difference.
So I'll hold this at the base of the lash.
I will almost stamp the color on
and then I will roll and lift upwards.
You can apply as much or
as little of this mascara
as you like, once I've applied
my coats of mascara, I
like to take the wand
and really focus it
right on the outer edges.
If you have a hooded eye,
this is also a really
useful technique to help
open up the eye even further.
You may like to just apply
mascara to your top lashes,
however, I'm going to apply
to my bottom lashes too
with this Code VLM because
this will further open
up the eye and make them
look just a touch larger.
I'm going to show you what I
like to do as a makeup artist
when a client tells me
that they're feeling like
they're a little bit
tired or they just want
their eyes to be a bit
brighter more uplifted,
and their eye color to look more vivid,
but without having to
wear lots of eye shadow.
When they tell me this I reach into my kit
pull out this eye delight,
little pot of magic.
Once you have it on your
little finger you might
want to dab off any excess
onto the back of your hand.
And you're just going to
dab into the tear duct area.
Next I'm going to take a clean Q Tip,
dab it into the pot, tap
off, and then I'm just going
to press this onto the arch
to the tail of the brow wave.
Careful not to get any into the brow.
If you do, then simply with the
other end of the Q tip dust off.
The final technique that I
can't wait to share with you
is a really simple one
that I use most days,
and it involves one of
my favorite bronzes.
Which is this bronzer by Lord
and Berry in shade Biscotto.
So take the crease brush,
this is my known cheat.
Dab in, tap off, and then
you're just going to run this
backwards and forwards like a little
wind screen wiper into
the crease of the eye.
What this is going to do it's
going to make your sockets
look more kinda deeper,
which in turn is going
to make the brightness here and here look
even more brighter more lifted.
And it's going to just make your eyes
look just that more polished without
looking like you tried too hard.
So here's the finished look,
