THE MAVALA eye make-up technique

 

Eyes are the most notable facial feature. They communicate joy, happiness, sadness, health and well-being. The Mavala Eye care and beauty products help you make the most of your eyes. All the products in the range have a double-action : first treatment (care) and then make-up (beauty).

 

How to make up eyes

  • Begin by applying EYE BASE which improves the adherence and appearance of eye make-up.

  • Apply eye shadow SILKY EYE SHADOWS or CRAYON LUMIERE to upper eyelid.

  • To obtain a more dramatic look place a dot of a darker shade in the middle of the eyelid and smooth out.

  • Highlight make-up by using a pastel SATIN EYELID POWDER colour on the underbrow.

  • Lightly blend the colours with applicator or fingertips.

  • Define the eye contour with KHOL-KAJAL, by drawing a fine line close to the lashes to underline the eye. If you prefer, draw the fine line in the interior of the lids for a larger look, or draw a fine line with EYE LINER on the upper eyelid.

  • Brush eyebrows and draw them either lightly for a subtle look or strongly for a more dramatic effect with an EYEBROW PENCIL.

  • Brush lashes before applying mascara.

  • Choose a shade of mascara to harmonize with your make-up. Apply two coats to thicken and lengthen lashes.

  • For a sophisticated touch, apply a more vivid colour to the tips of eyelahes. For example, coordinate Bleu Glacier MASCARA with Bleu Minuit MASCARA.

  • Choose a colour that complements your eyes and enhances their colour and form.
