Tips to master sunset eye look

Hitesh Dewett, Makeup Expert and Senior Training Manager – International Brands, House of Beauty- Kylie Cosmetics, shared with HT Lifestyle some practical tips to master the sunset eye look.

Step 1: Prime for Perfection

Start with a flawless canvas. Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This acts like a magic shield, ensuring your sunset hues stay vivid and crease-free all day or night.

Step 2: Build Your Base

For a seamless transition of colours, gently sweep a neutral shade or a light peach across your entire eyelid. This creates a blank canvas for the vibrant sunset colours to come alive.

Step 3: Paint the Sunset Palette

Now, give a free rein to your creativity! Use a vibrant orange eyeshadow on the outer corner of your eyelid, blending it softly towards the centre. Next, layer a warm pink shade in the middle, seamlessly merging it with the orange to create a Breathtaking ombre effect. Finally, add a touch of shimmering gold to the inner corner, blending it inwards for an enticing finish.

Step 4: Add Highlighter to get smooth and lasting velvet matte

Elevate your sunset eyes by strategically applying a highlighter or a light, shimmery shade to your brow bone and inner eye corner. This adds a touch of brightness and depth, further enhancing the beauty of the sunset-inspired colours.

Step 5: The Finishing Touches

For a defined look, apply black or brown eyeliner to your upper lash line. Feeling dramatic? Go for a winged eyeliner! Finally, complete your captivating look with a few coats of mascara to lengthen and volumize your lashes, perfectly framing your sunset masterpiece.
