"Eat carrots, onions and horseradish - you will be like Sophia Loren", - I think you remember this expression :-)

Sophia Loren is a wonderful person. She is beautiful both externally and internally. In the 90s, many tried to imitate her, each of her advice and wisdom was almost outlined by the girls. With all this, Sophie herself believed that beauty is a subjective concept, and this phenomenon does not have an absolute.

But today I would like to discuss with you the permanent makeup of the icon of cinema. Sophie's nude lipstick and cat arrows can be recognized from thousands of makeup looks.

Pay attention to the following detail. The very shape of Sophia Loren's eyes is not almond-shaped. She has round small eyes.

And it was thanks to the arrows that Sophie learned optical focus, when her eyes become visually "elongated" and expressive.

How does she do it that way?

1) the lower arrow serves as a mandatory continuation of the lower eyelid, so visually the eye is extended and looks younger;

2) between the lower and upper arrows, highlight the "triangle" (outer corner of the eye). For this, you can use a white or light pink pencil;

3) brightens the mucous membrane with white kayal, so the eye visually becomes wider.

4) Pay attention to the eyelashes, this is an integral part of the makeup. Sophie uses striped false eyelashes, she does not glue the outer corner of the eyelashes along the natural line of the eyelid (so all efforts would be in vain, because the eyelashes blocked the arrow and the lightened corner), and on the lower border of the upper arrows.

Such makeup visually stretches the contour of the eye, making it almond-shaped, thereby rejuvenating the look.

Now, to achieve this effect, women resort to the help of plastic surgeons and cosmetologists. Threads are inserted, making "fox eyes" for themselves, but in most cases it looks ugly, and sometimes, when the plastic is overdone, they close with difficulty.

Sophia Loren could stretch her eyes without resorting to the help of plastic surgeons, she just wisely used the power of makeup.
