Bollywood Retro Eye Makeup Tutorial

Back in 60's and 70's, there was an amazing trend of heavy duty eyeliner and kajal. I loved Sharmila Tagore, Rekha, Hema Malini's eye makeup looks. The eyes were so expressive and even until today, the winged eyeliner styles are so popular and trending. For a long time, I wanted to create a Bollywood Retro Eye Makeup and was waiting for some of my hauls to arrive. Now that I finally have them, I decided to do that. It is a very easy look and you can also customize the way you want. So, scroll down to see how I have created the Bollywood Retro Eye Makeup and also let me know how you liked it.

Products Used:

• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
• NYX Color Correcting Palette
• Bharat & Dorris Loose Powder
• Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow 07 Golden Up
• Makeup Revolution Highlighter Palette
• Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
• Lakme Absolute Shine Line Eye Liner Black
• NYX Cosmetics Micro Brow Pencil
• Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in White
• Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara

Steps Involved:

I color corrected the eyelids with NYX Color Correcting Palette (peach color) and applied the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I set everything with Bharat & Dorris Loose Powder.

I applied the Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow 07 Golden Up eyeshadow which is a medium golden eyeshadow all over the lid.

Next, with the fluffy blending brush it diffused the color and blended it towards the crease.

I applied a pale golden highlighter from the Makeup Revolution Highlighter Palette on the brow bone to give it a lift.

Next, for the under eyes, I color corrected with NYX Color Correcting Palette (peach and yellow color) and applied the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer to brighten it up. I baked with the Bharat & Dorris Loose Powder.

Coming back to the eyelids, I outlined the winged liner which I am going to do. With the help of a thin liner brush and using the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner, I drew a line from the outer corner towards the end of the brow line. The guide should be the end of your brow. Then, I connected the line with a curve towards the middle of the eyelid. Lastly, I drew an arch along the eyelid. This outline will help you drawing the line with ease.

Next, I filled the wing I created with the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner. Somehow my gel liner was slightly dried up and hence I had to intensify the color further with Lakme Absolute Shine Line Eye Liner Black, which is my current favorite.

I lined the lower water line with a white kajal using the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in White. Ideally, you should use a beige kajal but since I ran out on that, I used a white one.

I filled the brow using the NYX Cosmetics Micro Brow Pencil and set the brow with a black mascara. The black isn't usually used but back in 60's and 70's strong brows were done. I also highlighted the inner corner of the eyes slightly.

I applied 2-3 thick coats of mascara using the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara after I curled my lashes.

I finished off the look applying the gel liner with a soft smudged effect on the lower lash line. And the look is complete.

Hope you guys liked the look. Do let me know in the comments below.
