There's eyeliners and then there is Sharmila Tagore.
She is one of the most imitated eyeliner looks
in the history of Indian cinema
and I'm going to try my best and do it on Jeanne,
just for you here, at Glamrs.com
Hi, I'm Pallavi Symons, your makeup expert at Glamrs.com.
Sharmila Tagore, as we know her,
was one of the best things about the 60s.
And amazing things about those times were using
matte shadows, matte textures.
I'm just going to show you on Jeanne today,
how you can get that look.
I've already prepped and primed and
she's ready with foundation and concealer.
As you can see, I've just penciled in
her eyebrows quite strongly.
It was very typical of the sixties to
kind of do very strong eyebrows and
strong eyes.
I'm going to start with
a Faces Solid Brown eye pencil.
The best way to find your crease
and try and make a shape is
to keep your eyes open straight up.
This is what she used to do.
Just, very lightly line
the crease
and pick it up.
Make sure, you don't make a very solid line
because it's very hard to blend in.
Really soft like that and then
use an eyeshadow brush,
a flat one ideally,
and just softly blend that.
What you're just doing here is,
giving a cream base to a solid brown shadow
over it.
To go over that, I'm using a
FES 244, which is a Faces eyeshadow in a matte brown.
It's a perfect brown
because it's slightly reddish and not grey.
Now, I'm just going to go over that line
and blend softly into the corner.
So, the corner is not very stark.
If you notice, I'm already picking up the shape
because this will give you a nice guideline
as to how you can put your liner.
Now, using a rounded brush,
just blend over the crease a little bit.
So, it softens the line.
And now I'm going in with a Faces Eyeshadow.
It's slightly shimmery.
Now, I'm just placing it,
in the gap that I've left right here.
Just kind of packing it on.
Most of the colours they used back then
were really pale.
They were like icy pinks, icy blues, icy beiges.
Matte shadows also work very very well
in a look like this.
Now, using the brown shadow that you have from earlier,
just blend together.
Now, once that's done,
I'm going to just do the liner.
Now, I'm going to start with the white
because the eyes are quite pulled out.
So, I'm going to draw the white
and then border the white with the black.
Open.
This was one of her famous tricks
to widen her eyes.
And if you notice, I'll be working the white
slightly under here.
So, when I draw the black line,
her eye will appear longer than it really is.
I'm just working a bit of the white
even into her lash line.
For the black eyeliner, I'm going to use
Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black.
I'm going to make a very thin liner to begin with
and then work the shape.
Now, just where your white eyeliner ends,
try and make a very thin
but kind of a straight line.
What this does is, it'll open up her eye.
You need a very very steady hand for this.
Also, you need to go really close to the lash line.
Then, give it a good, quite a dramatic pull.
And now I'm just going to do a upper liner as well
and then give it a good twist up.
Now here, I want the pull to go
kind of like a curl.
So I'm going to start with the last lash
as my guideline
and then just pick the liner up
quite dramatically.
And work till where you've softened the brown,
so when she opens her eyes,
it looks like it's a part of the eyeshadow.
I'm making a strong 'V' here.
Now, I'm going to round off the shape
over her eyeball just a little bit.
Now, I'm just going to go back over the
lower line and make it dark.
Now I'm just going to use a curler
and a mascara and fake lashes.
Now, be very careful not to get any of it on the white.
So, very carefully, put it on,
on the upper and lower lashes.
I'm starting with upper lashes.
I'm lifting the corners,
as you can see very intentionally
and pushing the lashes towards the wing.
And, when you're doing the lower lashes
be very careful not to
get any of it on the white.
Now, once this is done
I'm just going to do fake lashes as well.
Now, I'll just wait for the white
of the glue to disappear.
In the meantime, while that's happening,
I'm just going to continue with the blush.
Just simply going to dust on a little bit
right here, on the apple of the cheek.
Not much contouring there.
To finish off, I'm just choosing a lovely matte.
It's a Revlon matte lipstick.
It's called Mauve It Over.
No lip liner, none of that.
And again, going back to a very matte, very pasty
kind of texture.
And there's our very own Sharmila Tagore.
