How to apply shadow

• We start with an accent - these are dark shadows that need to be applied along the eyelash growth contour of the moving (upper) eyelid. Their color can be rich black, dark blue or brown. Then carefully and carefully shade this line towards the crease of the moving eyelid.
• We take shadows of the same color as the accent, but with a lighter shade. Starting from the inner corner of the eye, we cover the upper eyelid, gently going beyond its outer edge. At the same time, the eyes should look natural, and their cut should retain its natural size.
• The darkest shadows will act as the surface layer, which are applied from the middle of the moving eyelid towards the outer corner of the eye. Careful shading should hide any sharp edges of decorative areas, turning them into smooth transitions.
• Make-up artists advise to “open” the look with a small light spot applied to the movable eyelid above the pupil before shading.
• During training, initial stage, in order not to get confused within the boundaries of different shades of shadows, you can apply a napkin with a folded edge to an imaginary line.
• Using the darkest shade of decorative shadows from the middle of the moving eyelid to the outer edge of the “masterpiece”, you can enhance the effect of “cat's eyes”.

Makeup features cat look

Magic line arrows:

• firstly, it is necessary to designate the inner, outer corners of the eye and the middle of the line above the pupil. The arrow should pass as close as possible to the contour of eyelash growth. Even if you need a wide arrow, makeup artists recommend starting with a contour line, gradually increasing it in width.
• the length of the eyeliner cannot go far beyond the outer edge of the eye, otherwise the face will acquire a caricature-opera expression.

The final touch of the "cat" image:

• You can complete the “cat look” makeup by tinting the eyelashes with voluminous mascara, especially carefully working out the outer eyelashes of the eye, where their density is higher.
• glued false eyelashes give a powerful accent to the eyes. Moreover, they can highlight only the outer corners of the eyes, which will give the eyes charm and depth of sight.

The “golden” rule of a successful make-up: if the focus is on the eyes, then the shade of the lips should be as natural as possible. Natural pastel-colored lipstick or soft lip gloss is all that a princess with a “cat-look” make-up can afford. Her languid charming eyes will become a symbol of beauty and femininity of the image.

Ariana Grande appeared on the music scene like a star - swiftly and brightly. She was born in 1993 in Florida. The elder brother of the future star, Frankie Grande, a famous producer and part-time actor, instilled in the baby a love of music from childhood. In the future, Ariana Grande was taken up by Eric Vetro, a well-known vocal teacher, from whom Pink, Katy Perry, Vanessa Hudgens, Cary Hilson, Nicole Scherzinger and other equally famous stars took musical lessons. Ariana participated in children's theater productions in her hometown. These were the first steps towards an acting career.

In 2008, the young actress gets a role in the successful musical "13". Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies, her friend, played the main roles with a bang. Due to participation in a serious musical, Ariana had to drop out of school. All classes were now private. “I received study grants from my school and, together with a private tutor, I was able to pay attention to classes. I can't say that I was pleased with this situation. I missed my classmates. But the opportunity to become someone helped me move forward.

Ariana Grande's first major film was Victoria Victorious, in which she played the role of the incomparable Cat Valentine. “For the sake of the role, I had to take a decisive step: I dyed my hair red-burgundy. I was not against such an experiment. Some acquaintances said that I even felt good like that. This series helped to open up two young talents, Grande and Gillis, in terms of singing: in one of the episodes, they performed the song "Give it up" as a duet. Miranda Sings performed with Ariana Grande from 2009 to 2010. The girls sing in one of the clubs in New York, where their performances are a resounding success.

In 2011 we can see Grande in the role ex girlfriend singer Grayson Chance in his music video for musical composition"Unfriend you". In 2013, the actress again takes on the role of Kat Valentine, already familiar to us. Now it is no longer “Victoria the Winner”, but a kind of continuation of the mix of this series with “I Carly”. The series was called "Sam and Cat" and was popular with teenagers.

For the entire short time musical career, the world saw two albums of Miss Grande. Both albums were released in 2013 a couple of months apart. The second album "Christmas kisses" was dedicated to the Christmas holiday, therefore it contains songs suitable for the Christmas atmosphere. It wasn't as successful as the first one, "Yours Truly", which peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200. "I may have been too hasty with my second album. Everything was too fast, that's why it didn't turn out as successful as the first one."

On the this moment Ariana Grande's clip collection has eight copies. In all the works we see well-thought-out productions, accompanied by perfect vocals. Ariana Grande's latest video for "Problem" is at the top of various music charts. “This composition is my biggest pride to date. It was recorded in collaboration with Big Sean and Iggy Azalea. A tandem of this level means a lot to me.”

In 2013, a joint photo of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber made a lot of noise. In the picture that Grande posted on her Instagram, Bieber kisses her gently on the cheek. “I suspected that the photo would make so much noise. It all started when I attended a Bieber fan meeting with my grandparents. My granny is a fan of his,” the young star laughs. “We decided to take a photo together, and he unexpectedly kissed me on the cheek. Later, Justin's manager caught up with me and relayed Bieber's request to post this photo online.

I did not agree, but when Justin personally asked me, I could not refuse. What was it? A PR move or maybe Bieber wanted revenge on one of his exes? It is not known for certain, but, as Ariana believed, a flurry of negativity fell upon her from the fans of the young singer. “Later I wrote that there was nothing between us. We had not seen each other before. Can't a guy and a girl be friends? Why does everyone perceive the usual kiss on the cheek so negatively?

In 2014, Ariana Grande let her fans know that a duet with Justin Bieber was coming up soon. Although there were rumors about their romance, Ariana had a long-term relationship with Jay Brooks, with whom they broke up and got back together a couple of times. They met since 2012, but everything collapsed completely after the death of Ariana's grandfather. They were very close, so the singer took his death rather painfully. She recently commented on the situation on her Twitter: “I thank everyone who was with me during difficult times. This July has brought me a lot of pain, but I hope for August.

And you will also learn what love and support are in difficult times. The death of her grandfather was the last straw that broke the singer's patience and Ariana Grande and her boyfriend broke up. “I am having a difficult time as I recently lost two close people. Our relationship with my father came to naught. Before, I didn’t like that we were too similar, but now I don’t understand how a loved one can so easily push away. It’s hard for me to accept this at the age of twenty.”

At the moment, the singer has released her second studio album "My everything", in which growing up and a partial change in repertoire are noticeable. The album turned out to be light and fresh, matching the age of the singer. Recently it became known about the new talent of the singer - she knows how to fake the voices of stars. Ariana herself speaks about this rather critically: “My friends often said that I was doing well. But I do not consider this an achievement. The fact that I can fake the voice of Britney Spears or Shakira is not an indicator of my inner qualities.

Many artists recognize the work of a rising star. At one of Ariana's performances, the famous rnb diva Rihanna reacted ambiguously. The Internet was replete with an excerpt of a video in which the singer laughed at Ariana's dances. Rihanna is very good man. Many thought that she was laughing at my dancing, but she was just shocked that I was doing it with my hips. After the performance, she came up to me and said that she really liked everything.” Whether a young talent is justified or not, the fact that stars of this magnitude pay attention to her cannot but flatter. We hope that with such external and vocal data, the singer has every chance to rise to the heights at which her idols have now lingered.
