EYE MAKE UP - TIPS

ALL ABOUT EYES :
Whether your eyes are big, small, round, narrow, or deep set bring out your soulful beauty by enhancing your eyes. All eyes will be on you when you give them a touch of glamour. Doing up the eyes is a great way to play with makeup, so have fun!

Always apply a highlight shade under the eyebrow and in the tear duct area. This creates at an open, bright-eyed look. When choosing colors, use shades opposite your eye color. Contrast really makes the eyes stand out. Highlight shades include: light pink, white, vanilla and gold.

Apply a dark liner to the upper lash line of the eyes. Use a pencil, shadow, or liquid depending your desired effect. Liner enhances your lash line to frame the eyes. The closer to the lash line, the more natural the effect. If loose shadow falls under the eye when you are applying shadow, wipe away with a sponge dipped in a little foundation. It's the perfect eraser.

Mascara is a must on top lashes. If you tend to smudge the lower area when applying, skip it underneath. Don't overdo it. If you are doing a strong or bright lip, use minimal eye makeup. For a classic look, apply the highlight shade, a taupe shadow across the lid, a dark line along the lashes and finish with mascara. For a sexy, smoky look on larger eyes, rim the inside with a black pencil. When using cream shadows apply only on the lid and not into the crease so the color does not become a creasy, greasy mess. Splurge on brushes. Blending is so important when using eye shadows and having good brushes makes all the difference.
