I’m a gypsy makeup professional & my cheap top tip will instantly open your eyes up – it’s perfect for special occasions
A GYPSY has revealed her top makeup tip which will instantly open your eyes up – and it’s perfect for special occasions.
Zara, who has a passion for getting made up, uses a number of different techniques when doing her makeup.
But there is one trick in particular that makes all the difference.
And lucky enough for other makeup fans, Zara took to social media to share her advice and has since gone viral for it.
Filming herself getting ready for her dinner date with her husband to celebrate being married for 17 years, Zara did a step by step guide on how she perfects her eye makeup.
She says: “I’m getting ready early, I always do. It means I can sort the children out quickly too.”
Zara first starts off by adding concealer to the top of her eyelids, and just underneath her eyebrows to create a defined shape.
But the trick comes when she adds tape to the side of both of her eyes, which sticks horizontally towards the end of her eyebrow.
This tape, which is a breathable micropore fabric eyelash tape, can be easily purchased from sites including Amazon, and two rolls can cost around £2.99.
Once this has been stuck on, Zara then begins adding the more detailed eyeliner as it helps her to do a straight line with her winged eyeliner.
She first started off by using dark brown eyeshadow to form a line going across and past her eye, before then using a smaller eyeshadow brush to use a slightly darker brown to help create definition.
Zara then adds a dark brown to the inside of her eye, and brushes it just underneath where the beginning of her eyebrow starts.
She says: “I am really, really liking this style of eyeshadow look lately.
“I was into it last summer, and now I’ve started doing it again. I’m really liking it. It just gives you a lot more space to work with.”
But if you do decide to do the extra eyeshadow, Zara suggests to lower the tape just slightly underneath where the eyebrow finishes.
She says: “It just looks prettier that way, because that was the mistake I was making before.
“I was taking the wing too high, and it doesn’t really match together.”
Zara then adds £16 blush cream Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights in the Bubble Trouble shade, to the inner corner of her eye to add a natural shimmer, before then peeling off the tape.
The results show a defined eyeliner.
Facts on gypsy and traveller communities
Typically, gypsies is a term used to describe Romani people who migrated to Europe from India while traveller refers to a person with either Irish, Scottish or English heritage.
Around 300,000 Gypsy, Roma and Irish travellers are thought to live in the UK.
All three groups come from nomadic ways of life, however, as it is increasingly difficult to find land to live on, many are moving into permanent housing.
They place high value on family life and often live close together even after reaching adult years and getting married.
Often the men are the breadwinners of the family while the women stay home.
While many English gypsy girls are allowed to drink alcohol and go on holiday with their friends before they get married, their Irish counterparts are not.
She then finishes her look with a skin tint, and mascara, and a bronzer, and pink cheek tint.
