Dramatic Eye Makeup

Dramatic Eye Makeup for the most important feature when we first look into
someone’s face for the first time, we take in the face as a whole and get a
general impression, but where we focus and concentrate almost immediately is on
the eyes. Eye contact is part of any meaningful meeting and all speakers learn
this early on, so it is no mystery why so many people are curious about dramatic
eye makeup to emphasize this important feature. Stage actors learn quickly that
even men need makeup to look good on stage, and if nothing else will need
attention to the lips and to the eyes. |
On stage, more bold makeup is
required to avoid looking washed out by a camera or live audience.
Woman will need very dramatic eye makeup to look just ordinary on
stage, and to look bold, will need what otherwise might seem over
the top. When designing a dramatic eye makeup several factors are
important. One is the person being adorned, paying attention to
their style, skin condition, preferences, sensitivities and finally
with the setting in which they will appear. Inch long lashes and cat
eye effects might be fine for a cocktail party but would be wildly
inappropriate for teaching a Sunday school class.
Another factor is price, of course,
but there are good eye makeup products in even budget ranges, and
how you use the makeup is more important than the price. It must be
good enough not to smudge easily or wear off too soon or flake or
crack and mascara and eye liner really should be “tear proof” to
avoid those ugly “trails” when emotional. When we say dramatic eye
makeup, we do not necessarily mean obvious or over the top. Eye
makeup that plays up eye color, adds light and sparkle, and hides
flaws, dark areas and wrinkles can make a dramatic improvement
without looking clownish. Outlandish colors and amounts, as well as
things like glitter and extremes with brows and lashes may be
dramatic without looking good for everyday wear.
Someone once said the perfect
makeup would make you look perfectly wonderful while looking
perfectly natural, and it is a good suggestion. Lighter colors can
add emphasis to the eyes and open them up, and darker tones can help
contour and distract from problem areas. Dark circles can be erased
with the right makeup and look just like the rest of the face, which
is dramatic, but subtle.
Going on stage or some special
occasions are perfect excuses for experimenting with more extreme
and dramatic eye makeup looks and methods. You can be a cat woman
for a special party or become a long lost queen of Egypt for a
romantic evening. When trying extreme eye designs, suit yourself,
but it is a good idea to get a second opinion from a trusted person
who will be absolutely honest. The line between drama and looking
silly is one you don’t want to cross. Still, experimenting is great
fun, and the eyes are very amenable to drama.
