Eye make up can be a
tricky thing to master. When I first started getting to the age where I was
allowed to wear the stuff to school, my mom never allowed me to wear eyeliner.
Women want their eyes to be appealing and they have been using make up to
accentuate the beauty of their eyes. It has been an age old practice. Here are
some tips for eye makeup.
Before applying eye makeup, it is recommended that you use a concealer to
screen the dark circles and wrinkles around your eyes. Ensure that the shade of
the concealer is a bit lighter than your natural skin tone. Do not use it in
excessive amounts. Apply the eye shadow in many thin layers.
Eye shadows are meant to highlight the beauty of the eyes. They are used to
create depth to the eyes. If you use dark colors, your eyes may look smaller,
while a lighter color will make them appear larger. If possible, use an eye
brush to brush the shadow up. To highlight the eyes, add a lighter shade of the
same color as the eye make up to your brow bone.
Too much of a shadow or liner will also make the eyes look smaller. While
using a lighter color on the eyelid, use a darker color in the crease and a
highlighter under the brow. This helps in creating illusions with eye shadows.
If the eyes are small, don't use too much shadow or liner ? it will make your
eyes look even smaller.
For large eyes, wear darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease.
Use a flat color to highlight under the brow. If the eyes are deep-set, use
light colors under the skin and the brow and a medium color under the crease.
Accentuate the outer corners of the eye with shadow. For wide-set eyes, use
darker colors on the inner corners with shadow.
Take an eyeliner pencil and outline the top and bottom of your eyelids.
Instead of a straight line, make short, small sized close dots with the
eyeliner. Smudge the dots or the line lightly from the inner corners to the
outer corners, for softer line. For the eyelashes, first use the eyelash
separator comb. Then apply thin mascara. If you don't have many lashes, apply
the mascara individually and re-comb your lashes. Allow the lashes to dry and
repeat the process.
Remove the eye makeup with a cotton ball or swab soaked in makeup remover.
Otherwise, you may use makeup remover pads, which are also good. Be gentle and
don't rush. Be careful especially while removing mascara. You can gently rub the
underside of the lashes until they come off completely.
Select a foundation that matches your skin tone and is appropriate for your
skin type. If you tend to break out, look for oil free, non comedogenic
cosmetics.
