A natural look for everyday wear

Subtle colors and lightness

The natural look is ideal for hot summer days. Use light, subtle colors such as beige and light brown to subtly accentuate your eyes. Take the opportunity to find different types of mascara at essence to add volume and length to your lashes without making them look too thick. One of the benefits of the natural look is that it looks light and airy, but adds depth and sensuality.

Order of application

Start with an eyeshadow primer to make it last longer. Then apply the eyeshadow, followed by a thin line of eyeliner along the upper lash line. Finally comes the mascara. What happens if you use mascara every day? It can make your lashes look stronger and more defined, but make sure you choose a nourishing formula to avoid damaging them.

Colorful accents for parties

Vibrant colors and creativity

Vibrant, colorful eyeshadows are ideal for evening summer parties. Choose bold colors such as turquoise, purple or pink to make your eyes sparkle. Combine these colors with a black or colored mascara to create a dramatic effect. Colorful accents create a fresh and exciting look.

Application technique

First apply a light eyeshadow to the entire eyelid. Then apply the colored eyeshadow to the movable lid and blend the edges well. A shimmering highlighter under the eyebrows and in the inner corner of the eye opens up the look even more. Finally, emphasize your eyelashes with a matching mascara to define the eye and add depth.

Smokey eyes for special occasions

Intensity and drama

Smokey eyes are a classic for special occasions and create an intense, sensual look. Use dark eyeshadow colors such as grey, brown or black and combine them with a volumizing mascara. The dramatic effect of this look will make your eyes appear mysterious and seductive.

Step-by-step instructions

Start with an eyeshadow primer. Apply a medium-dark eyeshadow to the mobile lid and blend the edges outwards. Then apply a dark eyeshadow to the crease and the outer corner of the eye. Blend the colors well to avoid hard edges. Emphasize the lower lash line with the same dark eyeshadow. A highlight under the eyebrow and in the inner corner of the eye provides additional depth. Finally comes the mascara - apply it in several layers to achieve maximum density.

With these three eye make-up techniques, you are perfectly equipped for the summer. Whether it's a natural everyday look, colorful party accents or dramatic smokey eyes - there's something for every occasion. Experiment and find your perfect summer look!
