How to apply eye makeup
- First you must apply eyebrow shadow. Make sure to use powdered eyebrow shadow instead of a pencil which can look unnatural.
- Choose 3 colors of eye shadow (light, medium, and dark) Use the darker color for the upper part of the eye in a thin line. Use the medium for the crease, and the light for just under the eyebrow.
- Now its time for the eye liner. Line the lower lid, just below the lashes, and be sure to only go 2/3 of the way. Line all across the upper lid, staying as close above the eyelashes as possible.
- Lastly you must apply the mascara. Apply the mascara to upper and sometimes the lower eyelashes, if you want a darker look. Only apply a light coat, so that there is no clumping. If you have a light complexion, stick with browns. Otherwise, you can use black. For fun, you can apply navy or plum, but do not put too much on.
Tips
- To make eye shadow look fresh, put a small dab of neutral colored liquid, and cover it with powder eye shadow. Make sure there's not a lot of liquid so there are no clumps. If you wish to have a more liquid look, reverse the steps.
- While some people only look good in some colors, violet looks good on anyone.
- If you use cream colored eye shadow, less is better
- If you want to avoid a metal looking style, choose a curling formulas mascara
- Two coats of mascara really makes a difference in your lashes. When applying two, one must let the first coat dry before applying the second
- A little eyeliner goes a long way, so be careful on how much you apply. If you want a dramatic look, thicker and darker is best. For a subtle look, lighter application is best.
