AKO NANASAT LINKU. HOW TO PUT ON AN EYELINER!

Ahojte damy, Hey ladies, 

Toto video som nasla na Facebook stranke Sephory. Velmi sa mi zapacilo a chcela som sa on podelit s vami. Uz som tu raz pisala o nanasani farebnych liniek, MOJ BLOG: FAREBNE OCNE LINKY no toto video vam to este viac priblizi ;) 


I found this video on the Facebook page of Sephora. I really like it, because it's short and to the point, I wanted to share it with you. I've already written about eyeliner application, MY BLOG: COLOR EYELINER and this video will show it to you as well. 




V obchodoch je vela druhov ocnych liniek (lacnejsie aj drahsie verzie, ktore sa mi osvedcili (obrazok nizsie): 

  • klasicka kajalova ceruzka (Avon Supershock do 5€, MAC Eye kohl pencil (odtien Smolder okolo 20€)
  • ocna linka v forme fixy/pera (Avon Extra Lasting do 5€, alebo Artdeco Long Lasting Liqid Liner 01 okolo 15€)
  • tekuta ocna linka so stecom (Catrice Liquid Liner do 7€, Astor Eye Artist okolo 10€)
  • gelova ocna linka + spravny stetec (najlepsie lomeny stetec) (Catrice Gel Eye Liner okolo 10€, MAC Fluidline odtien Blactrax okolo 20€)
  • cierny ocny tien - akymkolvek silnejsie pigmentovanym ciernym tienom vytvorite jemnejsi look


You can find different types of eyeliners at the shop (see the list containing cheaper and more expensive versions I like and use): 

  • Classic kohl eye pencil Avon Supershock around € 5, MAC Eye kohl pencil in Smolder around 20)
  • Liquid Eye Liner (Pen)(Avon Extra Lasting around € 5, alebo Artdeco Long Lasting Liqid Liner 01 okolo € 15)
  • Liquid Eye Liner in a tube(Catrice Liquid Liner around € 7, Astor Eye Artist around € 10)
  • Gel Eye Liner + a good brush (I'd go for an angled brush - the best) - (Catrice Gel Eye Liner around € 10, MAC Fluidline in Blacktrax around € 20)
  • Black eyeshadow - any black eyeshadow that's highly pigmented will create a softer look.

LEPIACA PASKA??? ;) SCOTCH TAPE??? ;)

Caute baby, Hey girls,

Vela z vas ma problem s nanasanim tekutej ocnej linky alebo s tienovanim oci vo vonkajsom kutiku oka. Ze sa vam nepodari spravit obidve strany rovnako atd.... Jednoduchou pomockou je lepsiaca paska, Ano, lepiaca paska, dobre citate! Treba ju nalepit v spravnom uhle pri vonkajsom kutiku oka (obrazok je lepsi ako tisic slov;) 
Ked to mate, mozte zacat nanasat ocne tiene, krasne ich tienovat a nakoniec naniest tekutu linku ;) A potom pasku odstranit a tadaaaaa, mate skvele ukoncenie linky (alebo svih linky pri vonkajsom kutiku). 

A lot of you have problems with putting on liquid eyeliner or with blending flick of the outer corner of the eye. Also that you have troubles in making it look the same. There's help for all of you! And it's Sellotape/scotch tape. Yes, you read it right, Sellotape/scotch tape! The only trick is in applying it in the right angle (pictures is worth a thousand words ;)

Once you "taped" your eye ;) you can start putting on eyeshadows, blending them and applying eyeliner on the end. When the eyeliner dries, take of the tape and tadaaaa the miracle is ready ;) looking great! Even the flick, wooow! ;)

V JEDNODUCHOSTI JE KRASA, SIMPLE BEAUTY

Ahojte vsetci, Hey guys, 


(English is in blue italic writing)


Dnes som si pre vas pripravila typ na jednoduchy ale krasny make-up.

Potrebujete k nemu tieto veci: 
podkladovy telovy tien najlepsie matny, 
hnedy matny tien, 
ciernu kajalovu ceruzku na oci (musi byt makka, aby sa dala dobre vytienovat), 
spiralu, 
2 stetce (vid obrazok)
umele trsy mihalnic (mozte ale nemusite ;) 

Postup je jednoduchy a obrazok to vysvetluje asi najlepsie. ;))



I hope you get inspired by this beautiful and simple look today.

You need the following things:
base matt nude eyeshadow
brown matt eyeshadow
black kohl eye pencil (make sure it's soft and easily blended) 
2 brushes (see the pic below)
cluster eyelashes (not necessary, but will emphasize the look)

I think the picture is quite self explanatory, so I won't bore you with description ;)

FAREBNE OCNE LINKY...COLOR EYE LINERS

Ahojte mili moji ;) HEY Guys, 

(English is is blue writing ;)

v tejto sezone je velkym hitom vyrazna ocna linka. Nie cierna ale FAREBNA
Chcela som sa s vami podelit o jeden trik ktory casto pouzivam na foteniach. 
Pokial nemate farebne tekute ocne linky, mozte ich nahradit ocnym tienom. AKO?
Jednoducho namocite stetec do vody a tym stetcom naberiete ocny tien, ktory potom nanesiete na viecko. Potom ked to uschne nanesiete priesvitnu tekutu ocnu linku a nechate zaschnut. Ta-daaa a trik je hotovy ;) 

A lot of designers and make-up brands started using color eyeliners this season. Black will always be inn but it gave some space for the bright ones, even red, orange and neon yellow have been seen on runways. If you're not sure you'd like them or you don't wan to invest a lot of money into color eyeliners, there's one trick I use on photo-shoots: wet eyeshadow. Put an angled brush in the water, than dab it into the eyeshadow and the liquid eyeliner is done, voila, it's that simple ;) 
INSPIRACIA - CERVENA LINKA/ RED EYELINER INSPIRATION

MOJE LICENIE - CERVENA LINKA/ RED EYELINER


alebo pod okom / or under the eye
prve dve - inspiracia, treti obrazok - moje licenie/ blue eyeliner 

Ked si lamete hlavu nad tym, ze vas tolko farebnych tienov bude stat majetok, tak si mozte kludne vydychnut a objednat si paletu 96 ocnych tienov zo stranky https://www.zoeva-shop.de/ , kde okrem paliet tienov najdete uzasne licenkove palety, ceruzky na oci, tekute ale aj gelove ocne linky a samozrejme STETCE, a kolko!!! ;) su velmi cenovo dostupne! Cena za zasielku je sice 12 € ale ked sa rozhodnete objednat s kamaratkou alebo dvoma tak sa vam ta cena pekne rozlozi. Za paletu obsahujucu 96 ocnych tienov zaplatite necelych 17 €. No nekup to!!! ;) 

If you don't have many colorful eyeshadows at home and you're worried it's gonna cost you a fortune, you can relax and order a 96 eyeshadow palette from www.zoeva-shop.de , where you can find not only eyeshadow palettes but blusher and contouring palettes, eyeliners, eye pencils, lashes and brushes, lots of them for very reasonable price. Delivery costs are not too bad: UK €11, Ireland €12. You get a palette of 96 eyeshadows for less than €17, what a bargain!!!




Za set stetcov (ktore, pokial nieste profesional vam uplne vystacia) 

zaplatite 30€
To je skvela cena za 18 stetcov, nemyslite? 

A set of 18 brushes is more than enough for a non professional, and it costs €30. It's a great price, don't you think?

Je aj slovenska stranka ZOEVY http://www.zoeva.sk/ no ceny su tam drahsie, ale za dorucenie zaplatite podstatne menej. Na strankach nemeckej ZOEVY su ale aj akcie, kde si viete kupit 2 palety za lacnejsiu cenu. https://www.zoeva-shop.de/en/sets/sets/
Je to uz na vas, z ktorej stranky vam bude sympatickejsie objednavanie ;) 


Aby ste dokazali vytvorit dokonalu linku musite trenovat, trenovat, trenovat a nebat sa experimentovat! 


To create a perfect line, you have to practice, practice, practice and experiment! 
LOMENY STETEC, AGLED BRUSH M.A.C. 266, 

Pre dosiahnutie dokonalej fajky pri vonkajsom kutiku oka mam jeden trik. Linku (vytvorenu mokrym tienom alebo gelovou linkou) urcite nanasajte lomenym stetcom (vid. obrazok). Zacnite od stredu oka, tahavymi pohybmi smerom ku vonkajsiemu kutiku oka, potom otocte stetec a tahajte linku z vonkajsieho kutika do stredu (vid. dalsi obrazok). Na koniec domalujte priestor od vnutorneho kutika do stredu oka. 



I will share my trick, on how create the perfect flick on the end of the eye, with you: start from the middle of the eyelid working your way to the outer corner or your eye, where you flip the brush and slide it back towards the center of the eye creating the perfect flick (see pictures below). When that's done you take your brush and put it in the inner corner of your eye and slide it towards the center. All done ;)




AKO NANASAT LINKU/ CREATING THE PERFECT FLICK 


VNUTORNY KUTIK OKA - STRED VIECKA                                                                    VONKAJSI KUTIK OKA, FAJKA
INNER CORNER OF THE EYE - MIDDLE OF THE EYELID                                               OUTER CORNER, FLICK 
Lomeny stetec je vyborna pomocka pri nanasani liniek ale aj tienov, ktore chcete naniest co najblizsie ku mihalniciam, ktore sa tympadom zvyraznia! 
K tomuto looku sa hodia aj farebne riasenky, ktore su bezne dostupne v drogeriach, ako napriklad DM, Teta, Mariounnaud, Fann, Douglas, 101 Drogerie, atd. 

Angled brush is the best tool in putting on eyeliners and eyeshadows close to the lash-line. Another great thing that goes with this look is a colored mascara, you can get many shades in a good drugstore like Boots or Superdrug. 


Dufam ze sa vam aj dnesny prispevok pacil a tymto vam zelam super piatkovy vecer, dufam, ze mate dobry program ;) 

I hope you liked this post as well, 

Have a nice weekend all, 

Me and Indi are going for a walk ;)
