As eye makeup is one of the most important parts of a makeup regime How to Apply Eye Makeup properly should be learnt. It may be a case of experimenting before you achieve the look you desire but there are some fundamental techniques which can be used to help you apply eye makeup effectively.
Eye shadows need to reflect your chosen color; many people prefer to team their eye color with the color of the clothes they are wearing, whereas others prefer to opt for colors which are subtle tones of their own eye color. Browns are usually chosen for day use, with brighter colors reserved for night time; it is a matter of personal choice. The current trend is to go for a natural look and light beige is a popular color choice.
The young can be far more adventurous when using eye shadows, using bright colors more freely.
Eye shadows can be brought as a powder or cream; if you have wrinkles or saggy eyelids then it is advisable to use a powder, creams can 'collect' in the lines and give an overall darker appearance and do not tend to stay in place, whereas powders can be blended easier and remain in place if applied correctly. Where you place the color is also a matter of choice, but generally people like to sweep the main colour across the entire lid and use lighter shades of the same color under the brow.
Eyeliner can come in different forms, such as a pencil, liquid or cream; again it is a matter of personal choice, but some skill is needed when applying liquid eyeliner, without caution the line can be too thick, however, it is usually longer lasting than pencils. If you chose to use a pencil, it is imperative that you keep the pencil sharp otherwise dragging can occur, which does not only leave a line which is too thick but cause damage to the eyelid. One benefit of using an eyeliner pencil is that it can be smudged to make the line less severe.
Lastly comes mascara; this comes in many colors but for highest definition black is used. To apply mascara it is best to coat both the top and underside of the lashes. By using a sweeping movement in an upwards direction will lift and raise the lashes. Wait until the first coat is dry before applying the second coat. Bottom lashes should also be given two fine coats. One of the biggest problems with mascara is that it has a tendency to clog and smudge, this looks unnatural and unprofessional.
To get a professional look it is advisable to learn How to Apply Eye Makeup correctly, either by seeking advice from friends, beauticians or from the Internet.
