AKO ZVYRAZNIT OCI INAK, 5 WAYS TO ENHANCE EYES DIFFERENTLY

Mile damy, Dear Ladies, 

Opat som prezerala pinterest a chekovala nieco pre vas.... 

Kazda z nas mame svoj stereotyp, ako sa vacsinou licime. Rano sa ponahlame do prace tak rychlo daco hodime na seba a dame tri tahy maskarou a utekame do prace. Ak by ste si privstali o par minut skor alebo mali chut nieco vyexperimentovat takto z rana, tak mozte skusit tieto licenia. 

I was browsing pinterest again, trying to find something for you ladies...

We all have a certain stereotype when it comes to make-up. Something that we put on in the morning rush. We throw on some clothes, take three strokes with mascara and we're out of the door. If you have extra 5 minutes or you happen to wake up earlier, or you're just in a mood to experiment, why not try out these 5 different ways of enhancing your eyes. 


Dymove oci inak                                      
Napriklad namodro 
Smokey eyes with a twist
For example Blue

























Licenie s tmavsimi tienmi pod okom                    


Using darker colors underneath the eye































Viacfarebne licenie 
A splash of color ;) 






























Aha, vnutorny kutik oka, aj ty si tu? ;) 

Hello, Inner corner of the eye, I haven't seen you ;)



Linkam vstup zakazany!!! Sem mozu len tiene!!!

Eyeliners Keep Out! Only eyeshadows are allowed here!!!



Ak mate mis mas v tom ako nanasat tiene, tak nasledujuci obrazok vela objasni. Plati vseobecne pravidlo najtmavsi tien nanasame co najblizsie k mihalniciam a na vytvorenie V-cka vo vonkajsom kutiku oka, o par odtienov svetlejsi tien nanesieme do priehlbinky nad pohyblivym vieckom, ktore zas nalicime o nieco svetlejsim tienom. Cim blizsie k obociu sme tym su tienie svetlejsie a dokonale vytienovane.

If you're not sure how to use eyeshadows correctly, the next picture will explain it perfectly. There's one general rule: The darkest eyeshadow goes the closest to your lashes and creating a V-shape in the outer corner. Lighter shade goes to the crease of the eye and even lighter shade usually looks great on the eyelid. Closer to the eyebrows (brow-bone) you are, the lighter the shadows are and try to blend blend blend! ;)

3 MAKE-UP LOOKY NA VIKEND, 3 MAKE-UP LOOKS FOR THE WEEKEND

Mile damy, Dear Ladies


Pripravila som si pre vas pomerne jednoduche looky na vikend mozno na sobotny vecer. Dufam, ze sa vam pacia, a ze sa nimi date inspirovat.


Prajem krasny piatkovy vecer! Pekny vikend, davajte na seba pozor a bavte sa a tancujte do rana ;) 


I decided to share some reasonably easy looks for the weekend and saturday night. I hope you like them and that you get inspired by them! 

Have a great friday night an even better weekend. Be careful and don't forget to have loads of fun and dance till the morning ;) 




Z lava do prava. 

Prvy look je najjednoduchsi. Potrebujete len dva tiene ciernu kajalovu ceruzku a tekutu ocnu linku. Oko pripravte primerom (ako som pisala v jednom z predchadzajucich blogov Primers ) potom pouzite telovy podkladovy tien (mozte si zvolit ten z palety od Sleek make up (na obrazku pod cislo 2, alebo odtien Brule od MAC). Potom vytvorit fialovym tienom (MAC Purple Haze obr. c. 5)  pismenko "V" na vonkajsom kutiku oka ako vidite na obrazku. Je potrebne ho vytienovat do stratena s tym, aby na uplnom konci vonkajsieho kutika bol najtmavsi. Do vnutornej casti oka naneste ciernu kajalovu ceruzku pre hlbsi efekt an na vrch pohybliveho viecka naneste tekutu ciernu linku a riasenku! a hotovo ;) Doplnit mozte peknym bronzerom a telovym leskom alebo ked mate chut zaujat mozte zvolit ruzovy alebo fialovy ruz zo skaly, ktora sa hodi k tienu, ktory zvolite. 

From left to right.

First look is the easiest. You only need two eyeshadows, a black kohl pencil and a liquid eyeliner. Prep your eye with eye primer (as mentioned in my previous blog post Primers ). Then use a base eyeshadow, (you can chose the one from Sleek palette marked with No.2 on the pic below or MAC Brule). Then create a "V" shape with a purple eyeshadow (MAC Purple Haze) on the outer corner of the eye. Blend it well and make sure the shadow is the darkest on the furthest part of the corner. Put a black kohl eye pencil in the waterline and use liquid eyeliner on top of the eyelid. Use mascara and the look is finished. You can wear a nude lipgloss with it or if you feel adventurous put on some nice pink or purple lipstick - just make sure it suits the eyeshadow you used. 

Druhy look je trosku komplikovanejsi ale ked sa naucite dobre tienovat zvlatnete ho lavou zadnou. Oko pripravite primerom (ako som pisala v jednom z predchadzajucich blogov Primers ) Bud pouzijete ocnu ceruzku medeno-zlatej farby alebo tien MAC Aztec Brick (obrazok 12) na oramovanie oka. Potom zvolite tmavohnedy tien a oramujete oko od stredu viecka smerom von a pod okom do 3/4 viecka. Vezmite vacsi stetec a vytienujte do stratena. Na pohyblive viecko naneste smaragdovo zeleny perletovy tien (MAC Humid obrazok 6) Naneste linku na horne viecko a do vnutornej linky naneste zelenu ceruzku (L'Oreal Perfect Eye Contour - Green, obrazok 11). Vnutorny kutik oka potrite opat tienom alebo ceruzkou medeno-zlatej farby. Mozte si dat aj umele mihalnice ked mate chut. Zlaty lesk alebo telovy ruz to zdokonalja. 

Second look is a bit more difficult but once you learn how to blend it will be easy-peasy ;) Prep the eye with eye primer as I mentioned above. Use base eyeshadow. You can either use an eye pencil in golden-coppery shade or an eyeshadow (MAC Aztec Brick pic.No.12, see below). Take a dark brown eyeshadow and frame the eye with it going from the mid upper eyelid towards the outer corner and under the eye 3/4 of the eye. Take a larger blending brush and blend it well especially on the upper eyelid. Apply a green shimmery eyeshadow (MAC Humid pic No. 6) on moving part of the eyelid. Make sure the brown shadow frames the crease of the eye. Put on a liquid eyeliner on the top of the lid and use a green eye pencil (L'Oreal Perfect Eye Contour - Green, picture No. 11) in the waterline. Use the golden coppery eyeshadow or pencil in the inner corner of the eye. You can use fake eyelashes if you feel adventurous ;) Golden lipgloss or some nude lipstick will do the trick.

Na treti look budete potrebovat viac veci. Najprv pripravte oko ocnym primerom tak ako pri obrazku dva. Pouzite podkladovy tien telovej farby alebo puder. Do priehlbinky nad pohyblive viecko naneste tmavo hnedy tien (Sleek paleta tien c.4) a urobte nim linku ako na obrazku, potom mierne vytienujte. Pod okom urobte ciaru zelenou ceruzkou (obrazok 11) tak aby sa vo vonkajsom kutiku stretla s hnedou linkou. Tesne pod obocie naneste svetlo telovy tien (MAC Vanilla alebo zo Sleek palety c.1) Medzi tieto dve ciary naneste medeno-zlaty tien (MAC Aztec Brick obrazok 12 alebo nieco co sa na to podoba). Dalej budete potrebovat zlate glitre. Ak neviete kde ich zohnat tak v nakupnom centre su rozne stanky v strede medzi obchodmi a velakrat tam maju potreby pre manikerky, zakupte si zlate glitre na nechty, moze byt prasok alebo aj vacsie glitre (inspirujte sa  obrazkom 9) a tie naneste na viecko. Aby vam glitre drzali kupte si priesvitnu linku na oci, mozno ju budu mat o stanok dalej a na vlhku linku naneste glitre. Do vnutornej linky oka naneste ciernu kajalovu ceruzku a na pohyblive viecko ciernu linku, pridajte riasenku a look je hotovy. 

To create the third look you'll need more products. Prep the eye with eye primer. Use base eye shadow or powder. Draw a thin line above the crease of the eye using dark brown eyeshadow (Sleek Makeup palette pic No. 4 or MAC Brun) blend slightly. Draw a line under the eye with a green eye pencil (L'Oreal Perfect Eye Contour - Green pic. No 11). Make the two lines meet in the outer corner as seen on the picture above. Use lighter nude color on the brow bone (either from Sleek palette No. 1 or MAC Vanilla). Apply a copper eyeshadow (MAC Aztec Brick pic No.12 ) in the blank space between the two lines. Apply golden glitter on top of that. If you don't have golden glitter or don't know where to get it, try going to the shopping mall and find those make-up or nail products stands that are between shops and I'm sure you can get it there. To make it stick to your eye buy a transparent liquid eyeliner and apply the glitter on it while it's wet. Put a black kohl eye pencil in the waterline and use an eyeliner on the top of your lid. Put on a mascara and the look is ready! 




Pekny vikend vam prajem. 

Have a good weekend.
