e just finished winter
and are heading
into spring! Spring
Glamour will be in full force.
Beautiful pastels, blues, and
yes--the smoky spring eye. I will
tell you how to get the look of
spring celebrity eyes whenever
you want them. At some point,
we all are our own celebrity, and
why not? You deserve a little
star treatment.
Spring Glam Makeup Tips
with Pro Artist Shonny DeBouse-Young
"the dFw laShologiSt"
First, you want to apply a little primer or
concealer to your eyelids. This will keep your
shadow on for hours. Now apply your pastel
(pink is my favorite) eye shadow. Start from the
inner corner of the eye and blend outward. Do
not apply the pastel shadow too heavily. Take a
little bit of purple, black, or brown shadow and
apply a small amount to the outer corner of your
eye, and blend it inward with a crease brush.
This creates a semi smoke. Be sure to blend
well. You can use your crease blush to blend the
eye shadow. The shadow should be even over
the lid, and there should be none on the upper
brow area.
Now take the brow powder, and accent your
brows lightly. Use the angle brush with the brow
powder. This will give a more natural look. If you
have questions as to what color brow powder
or pencil you should use, your local MAC or
Sephora counter can help. Now it is time for the
glam. Take your black eyeliner or liquid liner and
apply a small line on your lid as close to your
lash line as possible.
Take your mascara and apply one coat to prime
your lashes. Now it is time to apply the false
eyelashes. Gather your glue, lashes, tweezers,
and mirror. Remove 5-10 lashes from the tray
and place them on to a flat surface (the plastic
case they came in works just fine). Next, pour
a small amount of glue onto the other side of
the plastic. Let it dry for 1-2 minutes (allow it
to get a little sticky). Now pick up the lash with
the tweezers and dab the end of the lash into
the glue. When you pick it up there should be a
small dot of glue on the end.
Take the eyelash and lay it down in the same
direction of your natural eyelashes on your
natural lash. Start in the middle near the end and
work your way to the end. Apply 5-10 lashes
to your desired fullness. Once you finish with
this, allow them 1-2 minutes to dry. You are
now ready to add any finishing touches to your
makeup. Your eyes are glam and red carpet
ready. If you wish, you can add a highlight color
directly under the brow bone area of your natural
arch. Take the black eyeliner and line your
bottom lid, but not too heavy. You should now
have celebrity eyes.
tipS &
warningS
I do not
recommend getting
a chemical peel
or deep cleansing
facial within 1-2
days of a major
event. It may
bring impurities to
the surface and
cause unwanted
breakouts on your
special day.
If you are trying this
look for the first
time, do a trial run
a few days before
your event.
When applying
eyelashes, a small
handheld fan
may make them
dry faster after
application.
Be careful to only
use a small amount
of glue during
application.
