Eye tint can be applied in a variety of ways, depending on the desired look, ranging from a subtle wash of color to a more dramatic, defined eye. Generally, you can use a brush or your finger to apply and blend the product.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use eye tint:
-
Application:
- With a Brush: Apply a small amount of the eye tint to a brush. A synthetic brush works well. Gently work the product onto the eyelid, blending as you go. This is ideal for a softer, more diffused look.
- With Your Finger: Dab a small amount of the eye tint onto your fingertip. Gently pat the product onto your eyelid and blend using your finger. This method can provide more intense color payoff and is suitable for quick and easy application.
-
Amount: Start with a small amount of product, as eye tints are often highly pigmented. You can always build up the color if needed.
-
Blending: Blend the eye tint quickly, as some formulas can set quickly. Use gentle, sweeping motions to avoid harsh lines.
-
Layering: For a more intense color, apply multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry slightly before applying the next.
-
Versatility: Eye tints can be used as a base for powder eyeshadows or worn alone for a simple, monochromatic look.
-
Finishing: Consider adding eyeliner and mascara to complete the eye makeup look.
By using these application tips, you can customize your eye look with eye tint, achieving anything from a natural wash of color to a bold, statement eye.
