Eyebrows shape the whole makeup.
Since eyes is the most important focal point of
the face, the eye makeup techniques and choice of
colors for eye shadow should suit the shape and
color of your eyes. Eyebrows frame and bring focus
to the eyes.
The most important trick to keep
in mind is that the light colors highlight the spots
while dark colors tame them down. If you have widely
spaced eyes, make them look closer by drawing your
eyebrows in nearer together, extending eyeliner
beyond the inner corners of your eyes and blend
in eye shadow towards the nose.
Anyone over 18 should avoid wearing foundation at
the outer corner of the eye where it bunches up
into lines: just dust with powder instead. The first
step in applying the eye shadow is to apply a neutral
concealer that matches your skin tone on the eyelid
and then sweep the lightest shade over the entire
area from the lash line to the brow line to create
the smudge resistant base.
Apply the medium shade on the lower
lid and blend it into your base shade.
A third color can also be added
along the lash line and outer corner of the eyes
as an accent to create the depth in eyes.
Eye shadow is perhaps the most beloved
cosmetic of creative makeup artists. Since eyes
is the most important focal point of the face, the
eye makeup techniques and choice of colors for eye
shadow should suit the shape and color of your eyes.
Whether they are being used to shade
or define the eyes, lips or brows, pencils should
glide on smoothly, without dragging the skin, If
they seem to be too soft and crumbly, place them
in the freezer for a few minutes to harden before
applying, Ifthey are too hard and pull at the skin,
soften the point first by gently running it over
the back of the hand.
Eyeshadow should always glide on
smoothly, and can be used to subtly change or enhance
the shape of the eyes, to add simple definition
or to make a strong impact, depending on your choice
of colour. It is also useful to disguise the blueness
many of us have on the skin on our eyelids.
Eyeliner Application requires a
steady hand, If you find it difficult to apply liner
with precision, try drawing it on using small feathered
stokes and then blend with a fine-tipped brush or
the point of a cotton bud To make things easier,
put a mirror on a flat surface and then work looking
down into it.
Do remember a couple of things.
Apply under eye concealer right after you have moisturized
your face but before you put on your foundation.
And for constant shadows under the eyes, try to
get more sleep. Doctors say that the vast majority
of the circles people develop under their eyes are
from lack of sleep. If your circles are a result
of a sinus problem or other medical condition, don't
just conceal and ignore them.
For under eye puffiness, use a highlighter
or your light foundation underneath your eyes to
refract light and make it look as if your "under
eye" area is even with your face; again, an optical
illusion.
Some women like to dye their eyelashes
so they don't have to wear mascara much of the time.
It is usually a safe procedure, especially with
the vegetable dyes now on the market. But please
let a professional do it. You don't want to take
a chance on damaging your eyes.
Eye
Makeup Tips
Below are some useful Eye Makeup
Tips :
- Moisturizing first during your
makeup routine will help any foundation and/or
concealer blend easier.
- Mixing foundation and moisturizer
can make a good tinted moisturizer.
- Curling lashes open up your eyes.
Do so by squeezing them with a lash curler from
lash line to three fourth way toward tips.
- Apply blush upwards and outwards
on the apples of your cheeks, towards the hairline.
- For added natural beauty look,
extend a very fine line to the innermost part
of the upper lid.
- Apply two coats of mascara, sweeping
the wand from roots to ends. Wiggle the wand a
little as you move upwards to detach the lashes
and make them stand out.
- Line lips with a pale-blue eyeliner
pencil; blend color inward with a fingertip. Then
brush a shimmery pink lipstick over your entire
mouth. The blue edges soften the color, creating
a striking, ice-kissed look.
- Before using mascara, remember
to curl your lashes with a lash curler to open
up your eyes.
- Try applying a dark shadow tone
as a liner to accentuate the upper lash line by
using the thin edge of a disposable applicator
to draw a soft line just above the upper lash.
- Apply two shades, use either
medium or dark, and light.
- Select a foundation which is
compatible to your skin tone and dab some spots
around the center of your face.
- Liners-Normally done in shades
of black, grey, brown and sometimes green or blue,
liners serve to emphasis the contours of your
eyes.
- Eye makeup remover is a special
kind of make up remover made to flux budge proof
eye cosmetic such as water proof mascara and flase
eye lash glue.
Coloring
your Eyebrows - Eyebrows Tips
If you feel you need to color your
eyebrows because they do not suit the color of your
hair or your complexion, it is relatively easy to
do at home. Use a facial cream hair lightener, which
you think is the cheapest, safest and easiest way
to lighten your eyebrows.
Mix the lightener according to the
directions on the box. Stand in front of a mirror,
apply the cream gently to your brows and watch it.
The color will change from black to brown to red
to blond. Wipe it off at the stage you want, before
it reaches the color of your hair, because eyebrows
should be a shade darker, otherwise the whole world
will know you have been coloring them! Remember,
coloring does dry out your brows, so don't do it
too often. And when you take off the lightener,
apply moisturizer to your eyebrows and leave it
there. I always put moisturizer on my eyebrows just
as I do on my face at night. It is a good way to
avoid dry, flaky skin in that area.

Eye Makeup Tips and Tricks
- Eyeliner is meant to add depth
to eyes and give definition to lash line. To do
so, hold the eyelid skin taut with fingertips
of one hand and draw as fine a line as you can
very close to the lash line with the other hand.
Your hands should be steady for the purpose.
- For the soft smoky look, smudge
the edge of the line with the smear end of the
eyeliner pencil.
- For added natural beauty look,
extend a very fine line to the innermost part
of the upper lid.
- Lining the lower lashes add the
dramatic effect to your looks. You can do so by
adding tiny dots to lash roots and a fine line
on the outer half of the lower lash line.
- Liquid eyeliners give more glamorous
look but require more skill too.
- Use slate, blue, grey and plum
eye shadows for brown eyes, pink, salmon, mauve
and brownish pink for green eyes and brown, camel
and taupe shades for blue eyes.
- Curling lashes open up your eyes.
Do so by squeezing them with a lash curler from
lash line to three fourth way toward tips.
- Stick to dark colored mascaras
such as navy blue or plum for they look more natural.
- Apply two coats of mascara, sweeping
the wand from roots to ends. Wiggle the wand a
little as you move upwards to detach the lashes
and make them stand out.
