Almond Eyes – Makeup Basics

As a rule of thumb, first, use a primer for your eyes and choose a matte eyeshadow of your choice that suits your skin tone and skin texture. You could also do the sheen look using the glossy eye shadow moderately. Use a highlighter in the corner area of the eyes as well as just below the eyebrow line. You can use a powder, cream, liquid, baked, or crayon based eyeshadow depending on the weather and outfit

For daily use baked eyeshadows are best as they blend well with all skin types. Liquid, cream, and crayon-based eyeshadows are long-lasting and can be used for party-like occasions in weather that are not too hot. Choose the right type of eyeshadow before you get started with the eye makeup.

Almond Eyes – Creative

For creative almond eye makeup choose the right eyeshadow type, eyeliner, and colors to create textures, blends, motifs, and use your imagination. Your eyelid is your canvas to paint your creativity with eyeshadows and eyeliners in different colors. With the basic steps and a handful of motifs and colors in eye makeup products, you can achieve this look.

Almond Eyes – Vintage Motifs

The typical vintage look without the use of motifs or drama is achieved when you create a brighter base by using a foundation and concealer slightly lighter than your skin color. Use the same steps to create a base.

Avoid using eyeshadow to achieve this classic vintage look. Use a darker shade of eyebrow tint on your eyebrows and a thick jet black eyeliner either winged or not to achieve this look. Use a nude eyeshadow color if you have to in powder or baked types and avoid the cream base unless you are looking for a long stay look.

Almond Eyes – Avant-Garde

Think of motifs, artistic strokes, themes, embellishments that are out-of-the-box and defy the conventional art motifs. Choose any theme and give it a twist of non-sequitur to create a motif. Use your face as a canvas starting from your eyes, extending it to the forehead, temples, or cheekbones.

Almond Eyes – Motifs

Flowers, butterflies, fantasy, cartoons, or anything you like. As long as you can fit it in that area of your eyelids, you are good to go. Choose colors that compliment your skin color and tone. Do a base blend, and avoid overuse of eyeshadows. Do not use more than two colors for eyeshadows if you have to.

Almond Eyes – Landscapes

Use your artistic abilities to create landscape art on eyelids with the use of blends, eyeshadow colors, eyeliner colors, eye pencils, and embellishments. Pick a theme and first create a base using the color eyeliners and work on motifs using a liquid, waterproof eyeliner colors. Avoid using makeup for lower eyelids and waterline when you have fun trying this look. You could use dramatic false eyelashes if you have large almond-shaped eyes. Else, keep it simple.

Almond Eyes – Halloween

This is galore of options with the use of pop and dark colors in combination. Not your everyday look. But, occasions are meant to have fun with a costume drama and looks beyond the ordinary. Do not go the David Bowie, or Marylin Manson, it’s too standoffish and grotesque. Who said Halloween eye makeup has to be grotesque? You can use some art elements to create neat and an elegant makeup using Halloween colors and motifs.

Almond Eyes – Offbeat

What can be offbeat to your senses? There is no standard rule for this. Choose textures, motifs, or color blends with quirky embellishments you wouldn’t use otherwise. Create a shock-value with a pleasant surprise of motifs and textures. Think of motif blends and portmanteaus nobody could think of creating a Salvador Dali or folk art meets geometric or abstract patterns. There is a huge galore of artistic devices, the genre you can blend to create an offbeat motif for eye makeup.

Almond Eyes – Punk

Smokey eye is so worn out it has entered the realm of standard and regular like you could wear it to the office if you do it with subtlety. No kidding, the look is no more a rock genre element. But, it definitely has offshoots with color combinations and eyeliner styling that has evolved the punk element away from garish and anti-establishment art.

We, so don’t need that anymore, it’s an extinct style element fossiled in the history of music and art genre of punk, Oi, no more traditional Punk, garden variety, thanks! Rebel is no more associated with the underground meaning of how Punk originated. This is more about individualism and expressing yourself freely without bias and it shows in the look. Avoid shimmer and glitter if you want to achieve this look. Keep it matte and use metallic in minuscule quantity.

Almond Eyes – Rock

Rock has evolved and the best part is you could go the traditional way with Smokey eyes and some glitter in a single color. Create a monochromatic look using elaborate eyeliner style. Use any color eyeliner, the red looks better. Lavender is pop rock and tells the world you are still dallying with the idea of being assertive though you so want to be.

For the rebellious look, the kind that rebels for the right cause, try these looks. They are fun, wearable, and do not sway to any other genre other than rock and its subcultures.
Men and women could try this look. Greenday inspired, the metrosexual male with the right, dramatic makeup expressing his artistic side, why not!

Almond Eyes – Gothic

The Gothic look is different from Halloween. In this, you have to think of dark emotions, and use emo motifs and the dormant color is black. If you have small eyes, use subtle motifs and blend them artfully with a white or silver highlighter and eyeliner.

Almond Eyes – Makeup Art

This needs a lot of patience is not your everyday gig. One a fine holiday, when your mind is set for fun elements to try come up with motifs, other than the regular, and get started using the above tips. Create a stencil if you have to that sits well on the shape of your eyelids so you do not run out of space painting them on your eyelids. Go easy on eyelashes and lower liner. Apply if needed, you are best to decide that.

Almond Eyes – Papercut Eyeliners

They are easy, fun, and no-mess. Use them on eyebrows or eyelids and add in a dash of eye shadow colors and eyeliner. They got vintage swirls. I love swirls and bubbles.
