Eye makeup captures the essence of beauty. It highlights the eyes and gives a touch of creativity to the canvas of the face. Many artists around the world create eye makeup so intricate, it almost comes alive. Gauri D. brings mesmerising eye makeup artworks from across the world.
Eye makeup is a playground for creativity for make-up artists. Just like nail art, there are many inspiring and inspired ways of dazzling the eyes, highlighting their essence to tell the tale. Here is a curation of a few such artists across the globe who broke the barriers to create unique designs.
BEIJING OPERA
Chinese Beijing Opera inspired the Paris-based makeup artist to create this look. She has created a delicate and detailed look that inspired movement. Each line and colour tells a story. The link halo around the bright shades adds freshness to the design. It is a makeup design unique and refreshing.
GALACTIC OPERATIONS
The Chicago-based makeup artist has used fresh and bright colours that look other-worldly. The seamless blend of orange and bright pink looks mesmerising. The lavender wingtip surrounded by silver shimmer looks as delicate as it looks ethereal. The playful use of colours in eye makeup is well executed.
CHRISTMAS GLORY
‘Tis the season of joy and cheer. The artist from Ukraine has captured the essence of Christmas in this simple but impressive makeup. Outlined 3D art coupled with dark eyeliner and mascara looks elegant. It brings out the colour of the iris with a simple design and understated bright colours.
PASTEL FANCY
Shines fade, glimmers dim but nudes and pastel shades last forever. Winter is a wedding season and nude eye makeup with a hint of colour and shine is back in trend. Eyeliner and mascara highlighted by muted colour bring out the natural beauty of the eyes. It creates intrigue and mystery which attracts viewers’ attention.
DARK AND MYSTERIOUS
Grunge and goth are never out of style. Smokey eye makeup has been popular since the dawn of time. The latest emerging, however, is the jet-black and shimmering eyes that command attention. The UK-based artist has curated this dark cat-eye look with a hint of shimmer. It is demanding, it is haunting and it is mysterious. This look is not the one to be forgotten in a hurry.
ALL THAT GLITTERS
Not everyone is a fan of colour and heavy makeup. This look is for those who believe ‘less is more’. The look is created by adding gold shimmer to bare skin. It looks delicate and elegant. Highlighted with just a light mascara, it is a belle of the ball when it comes to eye makeup.
Bright or nude, shimmering or matte, the eye makeup opens up opportunities in ways never imagined. This mesmerising eye makeup is an inspiration to create something unique. The delicate dancing canvas of fluttering eyelids awaits its next challenge!
