Great Eye Makeup Is Essential To A Good Look

Great eye makeup is essential to a good look. While the use of pretty colors is fun, a flawless application is paramount! So to help you achieve the best application possible, I have put together a list of my top eye makeup tips to get you looking amazing.

Brighten up your eyes before application of foundation by using a little dab of skin brightening cream or light reflecting concealer in the inside corners of the eyes. These have very subtle light reflecting qualities that help to counter any dark circles.
In order to get your eye makeup looking flawless and well blended, always prepare your canvas properly before applying your eye makeup. Tips for creating a good base for eye shadow include; evening out the eyelid color with a concealer, applying the concealer from the eyebrow to the lash line, removing any creases in your concealer prior to applying powder; powder well. Make sure your application of concealer and powder is not too heavy, too much base on the eyelid will result in caking and cracking.

Use a no-color powder or a translucent powder to set the concealer or foundation around your eyes. Anything with too much color will grab and destroy the true color of any eye shadow you choose.

Make your eyes POP by choosing an eye shadow that compliments your eye color. A complimentary color is one that is opposite on the color wheel. For instance, red is opposite to green, orange is opposite to blue and purple is opposite to yellow. So choose something within the color family.

Only use a liquid eyeliner if you are extremely confident you can get a straight line and get both sides even. If not, it is best to use a dark eye shadow with a slightly wet brush; it's much easier to clean up if you make a mistake. And NEVER use liquid liner on the bottom lashes; this will look harsh and aging.

Curl your eye lashes- this is the best eye makeup tip of all time! It will open up your eyes and make them look bigger and more wide-awake. Always curl your lashes before application of mascara otherwise you risk snapping your lashes.

If you are using lots of dark eye shadow, try putting excess translucent powder under the eyes to catch any fallen specks that are bound to fall during application. Then you can just dust it off when you are finished instead of being forced to do a patch up job of your foundation!
