My makeup hack makes my eyes look mesmerizing – the key is using a color wheel, the technique has changed my life
A BEAUTY fan has shared her makeup hack that makes her eyes look mesmerizingly gorgeous.
It’s such a simple idea but she says the technique has changed her life.
Karissa Wampler (@k.wamp) said the key to her makeup tip is using a color wheel.
She shared her eye-popping method in a TikTok video and it has gone viral.
So far, her post has clocked up 1.5 million views and over 8,000 comments.
“It puts people in a trance. Trust me, it will change your life,” she said.
“I found the biggest beauty hack that is worth gate keeping,” she said.
She has been amazed by the reaction from people when she uses it.
“Mesmerizing” and “insane” have been used to describe her eyes.
Central to the idea is a color wheel used in complimentary color theory.
It’s been used by makeup artists for a long time, now makeup fans everywhere are getting in on the act.
If you want to give this hack a go, color wheels are available on Amazon.
First, work out what color your eyes are and find the color nearest to that on the wheel.
Once you have located that, go to the color immediately opposite.
That is the color you need to make your eyes pop out.
It can feel counter-intuitive, but you have to trust the process.
She used a maroon color and applied it to the inner and outer corners of her eyes.
“My eyes are blue but not that blue. But when I do the color wheel hack they just go incredibly intense,” she said.
There was huge interest in the technique. Some brown-eyed girls were worried they could not find a color match, but one commenter had a suggestion.
“PSA for brown eyed girlies, use pink. It’s technically the opposite of brown and makes them look so rich,” she said.
Other commenters vouched for this makeup hack.
“True because my eyes are a mix of brown and green and everytime I use puple or dark purple on my eyes I get compliments and people noticing,” said a second person.
“I can confirm. Everytime I used a red purple eyeliner my eyes appear intensly green and I get so many compliments,” said a third person.
“I use a purple highlight in my inner corner and everyone says my eyes are my most noticable feature,” wrote a fourth person.
