The error occurs in the way the eyeshadow is applied, notably when the color extends from the outer corners of the eyes to the crease.
Here’s an image to help you understand:
It is evident from the image above that the eyeshadow application just draws attention to the hooded eyelid and the sagging outer corners of the eyes.
Although these kinds of tints are designed to hide these kinds of flaws, eyeshadow should never be put below the lower eyelid line if you have hooded eyelids. The lower eyelid’s line should extend uninterrupted toward the outer corner
In order to do this, you ought to:
Steer clear of drawing harsh lines in the eye’s outer corners.
Avoid drawing lines in the corners of your eyes that are too black.
After all, everyone has facial expressions; you don’t just stroll about expressionless all day. Smiling distorts the sharp, black lines in the outer corners of your eyes, making them appear unsightly.
I’ll now present a comparison of how the eyes may appear to suffer if this eyeshadow application error is done, highlighting all the incorrect elements.
And this is the exact way it ought to appear.
Actress Quinta Brunson Is Upset With ‘No Black Characters’ On Friends
The conversation around diversity has been intensifying lately, making everyone think about its importance in all areas of life. One recent topic of discussion? The iconic 90s sitcom Friends.
Quinta Brunson, known for her role in Abbott Elementary, recently pointed out Friends for its lack of diversity. While hosting Saturday Night Live, Brunson used her monologue to highlight the absence of Black characters in the beloved show.
Brunson contrasted the diversity on Abbott Elementary, which features the lives of teachers in a predominantly Black, state-funded elementary school in Philadelphia, with the noticeable lack of diversity on Friends. The difference was strikingly evident.
With her well-known wit, she joked: “I wanted to be on SNL back in the day, but the audition process seemed long – so instead, I just created my own TV show, made sure it became really popular, won a bunch of Emmys, and then got asked to host. So much easier, so much easier.”
While the audience chuckled, the underlying point was clear. Brunson continued, “It’s a network sitcom like, say, Friends. Except, instead of being about a group of friends, it’s about a group of teachers. Instead of New York, it’s in Philadelphia, and instead of not having Black people, it does.”
Her playful commentary sparked serious reflection, even from Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman. Kauffman has publicly expressed embarrassment over the show’s lack of diversity and pledged $4 million to support African and African-American studies at a university.
“I’ve learned a lot in the last 20 years,” Kauffman admitted. “Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy. It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know better 25 years ago.”
She added, “It took me a long time to begin to understand how I internalized systemic racism. I’ve been working really hard to become an ally, an anti-racist. And this seemed to me to be a way that I could participate in the conversation from a white woman’s perspective.”
The discussion around diversity is far from over, but it’s clear that the conversation has advanced—even for a cherished sitcom like Friends.
