How To Apply Eye Makeup
A lot of women do not know how to correctly apply eye makeup. Even if you are applying a simple eye makeup, it can make you look very beautiful and make your eyes distinguish. Though, it has to fit your skin nuance, your hair color and your eye color. Also, the clothes you are going to wear are important. Keeping in mind some important tips is enough for great-looking eyes, without asking for a professional makeup artist.
The first thing you should do is to buy the right makeup tools. Even if some of good brushes are a little expensive, it is not wrong buying them, it is even recommended. To have a clue about what are you buying, you should know that small tipped brushes make your eyeliner application a breeze. The eyelash curler and eyebrow brush are also needed. Anyway, you should memorize that applying eye shadow using your fingers is not recommended; you will get a sloppy application.
One of the most important steps is to choose the colors that match your eye and hair color and your skin shade. You should select shades that highlight your eye color. For example, having blue eyes does not mean you have to buy blue eye shadow. The best option is to buy a kit that contains light, medium and dark colors. For example, starting with light, medium, dark brown and a shade of pink colors is a good idea. These colors are natural and look good on anybody.
Before applying eye shadow, apply some powder or foundation to your lid. After that, you will need the same color in a light, medium and dark nuance. Apply the light shade under the eyebrow's natural curve, starting from where your eyebrow begins to where it ends. Next, the medium color should be brushed over the lid. In the end, apply the dark color in the crease of the eye, for a dramatic look. The final step is to blend the eye shadow, for a flawless appearance.
When choosing mascara and eyeliner colors, you have to know that if your skin nuance is dark, you should choose a dark color. For instance, African-Americans or those with olive skin and dark hair should choose the black color. You already know that there are two different types of eyeliner: wet and dry. If you want a dramatic look, wet eyeliners are recommended. For smoky look, you should choose dry eyeliners. They are softer than wet eyeliners. If you do not have an eyeliner, you can use a brown or black eye shadow instead. The mascara should be lightly applied, sweeping in upward motions. After the first layer is applied, let it dry and apply another one, if needed.
Even if curling your lashes is not a bad thing, making this process too often can harm your eyelashes by breaking off. That's why you should curl your eyelashes only for special occasions.
