How To Apply Eye Makeup

How To Apply Eye Makeup

Using cosmetics can help mask some of the imperfections we all have in our skin and enhance our natural beauty. The most often used products used by women from all over the world include the basics like foundation, powder, blush, lipstick and of course, eyeshadow. If you're not sure how to apply eye make-up, keep reading. In this article we will go over the basics of creating a beautiful eye and achieving several different looks. The first step is to gather your tools. For a basic eye you will need foundation or eyeshadow primer, loose powder, eyeshadow, shadow brush, eye liner and mascara. There are other items and tools that may come into play depending on the look you are going for.

Neutral colors will always look fabulous on just about any woman, regardless of her skin tone or eye color. Different shades of earthy brown, taupe and beige are all considered to be examples of a neutral tone. For a neutral look you will need three coordinating shades in the same color family. One should be dark, one should be medium and one should be light. You could use dark brown, light brown and white or cream. For best results, use a shadow brush rather than the sponge-tip applicator that came with the shadow. Sweep the medium color all over the lid and just below the browbone. Take the darkest color and apply it to the crease of the eye. The lightest color goes right below the browbone to act as a highlight. You can use brown or black liner on upper lids only then follow with mascara for a natural look. For a more dramatic look apply liner to lower lashes also.

The mysterious, smoky eye look is fabulous for day or night and even though the traditional smoky eye look uses black and charcoal shadows you can use any color you like. For example, you can use brown, purple, green, blue or burgundy. Different colors accentuate different eye colors. For blue eyes, try brown. Green eyes look great with purple or burgundy shadow. Brown eyes look lovely with blue eyeshadow. Of course, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to eyeshadow colors. When doing the smoky eye, line both the top and bottom lids with eyeliner and top with layers of dark shadow, smudged gently. Finish the look with two coats of black mascara.

When you are learning how best to apply eye-makeup you should play around with different looks and shadow colors until you find what looks best on you. If you want to brighten the eye area, apply a tiny bit of shimmery white shadow at the inner corner of the eye. White eyeliner applied to the lower lash line makes the eyes look larger. And don't forget your brows -- a beautifully groomed brow can take years off the face. Pluck under the natural brow line, not on top of it. The arch should be positioned at the third outer half of the brow for the most natural look. If you feel uncomfortable plucking or waxing your own brows, most any salon can groom your brows for a reasonable price.
