Eye Makeup Tips For A Great Look
When applying makeup to the face, the eyes are the most important part by far. The eyes reveal your emotions and your personality more than anything else on your body. People look at your eyes first, and your eyes are also the most unique, striking part of your body. So here are some eye makeup tips for having your eyes look their best.
Match Your Eye Makeup
The first thing to keep in mind is that your eye makeup needs to work together with what you do with the rest of your face and body, with the hair and lipstick being the most important things to match up with the eyes. For example, if you are using a bold look for your hair, you should use the same bold approach with your eyes. Or, if you use shiny, bright red lipstick, the eyes should have a lot of eye shadow applied.
If you are going with a strong look for your eyes, one thing to do is apply mascara thickly, but while keeping the eyelash strands separated. You can do this by wiggling your mascara wand after applying the mascara to the base of your eyelashes. Then use your lash comb to brush the mascara to the tips of your lashes.
To keep your mascara from smudging, apply some powder to the lower part of your eyelids before you apply the mascara. And try to avoid blinking when applying the mascara. If you want a second coat for added thickness, be sure to apply it before the first coat dries. Use a skinny, short wand to make sure you get the lashes near the corners of your eyes.
Go Over The Top With Fake Lashes
For an even more dramatic look, you may want to apply fake eyelashes. Doing this will requires some practice. Use a magnifying mirror, some tweezers, and have some paper ready to hold your fake lashes.
With the tweezers, put the base end in the glue, and then the key is to place the artificial lash as close to the baseline of the real lashes as possible. Then you need to press it and hold it in place for around five seconds. After the glue has dried, you will need to use a dark eyeliner to hide where the fake lashes are attached, and after that apply your mascara.
Work With Your Natural Colors
One of the most important eye makeup tips I can give you is to learn to use the shades and colors of eye shadow that work for your face. In most cases you want to use more neutral shades like beige, ivory, and browns. For a natural look, use a matte formulation which can easily blend.
Liquid eyeliners are in most cases the best kind to use because you can change the shape of your eyes. Shake the container thoroughly before applying. Press lightly for a ligher color and more firmly for a darker color, and let it dry before applying shadow to avoid smudging.
Tips For Specific Eye Types
The best eye makeup tips vary for different types of eyes. For example, many Asian eyes don't have a crease on the upper lid, and you need to account for this. Below are some Asian eye makeup tips.
Draw on your own crease with dark eye shadow. Or, instead of putting a light shade on your lid as with Caucasian eyes, go from the darkest shade nearest to the line of your lashes and transition to the lightest shade just under your eyebrow. If you don't typically use shadow, use a dark eyeliner that adds a little touch of metallic coloration, or another deep shade of color such as plum.
The best makeup techniques are also different for different eye colors. Eye makeup tips for blue eyes include using the complementing color of bronze for your eye shadow, matching your eye shadow color to your clothes color if you have gray-blue eyes, and using light shades for light blue eyes.
Smokey Eye Makeup Tips
Smokey eyes are a very popular look now. The main thing you need to do is match up a lighter base of your eye shadow with a darker color on top. Read on for some smokey eye makeup tips.
Apply dark eyeliner above the upper eyelash line, with the line thicker towards the middle. Use smudged eyeliner in a lighter color on the bottom eyelashes. Then, after applying your lighter base of eye shadow, blend in the darker color up to the crease, and hide the line of the eyeliner.
I hope you have found these eye makeup application tips useful. Above all, remember that there is no one right approach for all people at all times. Learn to vary your makeup so you can have a different effect for different occasions.
