We all know that Ashwini, who plays the role of Aarthi Manjunath in Gattimela, is known for her big beautiful eyes. Now, she has gotten her eye make up game on point! Known for her big expressive eyes, Aarthi has mastered the art of “show not tell” with her eyes, on-screen as well off-screen. Here’s how!
1. Apply Concealer
Apply concealer by dotting it with the pad of your finger or a concealer brush, to even out the colour of your skin and your eyes. Apply three dots under each eye, starting at the inner corner, then under the pupil, and the third, on the outer edge. Just like Aarthi’s, your eye makeup will be more pronounced than usual.
2. Apply Shadow
For the daytime, you might find it best to use a basic light shadow on your lid and nothing else. For a bit more drama, start with a light color that almost matches your lid, which can then be followed, by a medium color, across your lid. Finally, build on this, with a darker color in the crease. Isn’t Aarthi’s shade of shadow just perfect for her outfit?
3. Highlight the Inner Eye
Blend a bit of your lightest eye-shadow (whatever it is) into the inner corner of your eye. It’ll brighten your eyes, and even your face, significantly. You don’t even need a brush. You can even just dab a finger into the shadow, and then press it into the inner corner where your upper lid meets the bottom one, like Aarthi in this blue outfit. Her highlights surely match this dark blue outfit well. Agreed?
4. Curl Your Lashes
An eyelash curler will make even the longest and fullest lashes look better. For added effect, you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple of seconds. It can make your eyelashes look bigger, fuller, and they’ll also curl better. But be careful, because you don’t want to burn your eyelashes off.
5. Apply Mascara
Finally, your look will always be best topped off with a little mascara. Simply place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of your lashes, and wiggle it back and forth while running it upwards. Follow it with another few sweeps of the wand, and apply it to your bottom lashes as well. Unlike her character in the show, Aarthi looks daring and simply dashing in this look.
