Applying Eye Makeup - How to apply eye makeup

Eyebrows shape the whole makeup. Get it right! And you will see the difference. Eyebrows should’t be overlooked. Eyebrows frame and bring focus to the eyes. If you have deep set eyes, keep your eyebrows thinner to show them off more. If you have widely spaced eyes, make them look closer by drawing your eyebrows in nearer together, extending eyeliner beyond the inner corners of your eyes and blend in eyeshadow towards the nose. Anyone over 18 should avoid wearing foundation at the outer corner of the eye where it bunches up into lines: just dust with powder instead.

The Eye Shadow Magic

Does it really matter which eyeshadow you buy? If you didn't think it made a difference then think again.

Know the right way of applying eyeshadow

Eyeshadows accentuate eyes, making them look bigger and brighter. Use an eyeshadow that compliments the color of your eyes. Apply eyeshadow right over the eyelid. Draw a thin line of eyeliner on your upper lid, close to the lashes. Use a soft tipped eye pencil over the line for a smudgy effect.
Don’t test shades on the back of your hand as the color is different from your eyelids. To create the new round eye, apply a soft, neutral brown across the eyelid and slightly above the crease, creating a round shape. Blend, going upwards towards the brow. Apply the same color shadow underneath the bottom lashes. To create a dark eye without the hassle of black eye shadow, take a black pencil inside the lower eye to create the new smoky eye look.

Application Technique of mascara in doing eyeshaow:

Careful application will result in long, full lashes. Never, apply more than two coats, to avoid lashes sticking together, and wipe the brush with a tissue to remove any excess before putting it near the eye. Then brush the upper lashes downward from the root and, when dry sweep the wand upwards, using a slight side-to-side motion. For the lower lashes, hold the wand vertically and stroke it from root to end, using the tip of the brush. Finally, gently separate and define eyelashes with a lash comb or a clean mascara wand.

Mascara Removal---->Never go to sleep without removing mascara.

When you take it off, make sure you don't drag the delicate skin around the eye area. Moisten a cotton wool ball with remover and stroke it over the lashes in a downward motion until they're free of all traces of make-up. Be gentle-if you lose a lash it takes a couple of months for a new one to grow.

If you're shedding more than a couple of lashes a day it could be that you're allergic to your eye make-up.
