When an individual examines a lady's face, more frequently than not the very first thing she notices are her eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, as one says, and they're the brightest and the most lovely features in a girl's face. When you put on your eye makeup, your aim must always be to make your eyes look brighter. You can attain this by choosing the right colours for your eyeshadow and making the right mix of eyeshadow for your eyes. The colours you select for your eyeshadow should either match the colour of your eyes or offer a contrast to it.
If your eyes are blue, then blue eyeshadow would work completely for you. Nevertheless, blue eyeshadow on brown eyes can offer a really pleasant contrast and make the eyes appear brighter. Your eyeshadow should be consisting of 3 shades : a light color like taupe for your base shade, a darker highlighter for the crease of your eyes, and the main color for your eyelid that could be a shade lighter than your highlighter. The secret to meaking your eyeshadow work is to mix in these 3 colours. Applying your eye makeup comes after you have put foundation on your face. Before putting on eye makeup, prime your lids first with eye cream for defending the delicate skin of your eyelids, and then dab on a little foundation over them.
Follow it with the main color for your eyelid. The highlighter comes next, but do take care how you put your highlighter because if applied the wrong way, your highlighter can make your eyes look too large and too beady. Also, avoid putting highlighter on your forehead bone, unless you are putting on makeup for an evening affair or going to a photograph shoot. After you are done with your eyeshadow, you can start putting on the other parts of your eye makeup, applied to the eyebrows and the eyelashes. Your eyebrows give personality to your eyes, so you shouldn't neglect them when you're putting on eye makeup. Brush them with a brow brush and then shape them with eyeliner. Ensure that your eyeliner pencil is pointed and matches the shade of your mascara. Mascara extends the length of your eyelashes and makes them appear thicker. Curl your eyelashes first with an eyelash curler before putting on your eyeshadow so that the thing wouldn't botch your scrupulously mixed eyeshadow. Also, use smudge-proof and waterproof mascara so it won't run if ever tears come to your eyes, particularly when you're wearing contacts. To close it off, line your eyelids just under the lashes with eyeliner. If you need special touches to your eye makeup, you can put on a little glisten on your eyes to make them appear brighter. If your age lingers around thirty and above use sparkle with caution because glisten can attract unwelcome attention to the wrinkles around your eyes, if you have them already.
Memorable occasions need special touches on your eye makeup, though, and in that case, you can put a little quantity of sparkle on your forehead bone. You can further brighten your eyes by drawing a dot or 2 with white eyeliner or eyeshadow on the inner edge of your eyes. Another thing you need to remember when putting on eye makeup is to go for balance. If you're wearing bright red lipstick, tone down your eye makeup.
In reality, you can absolutely forego wearing eye shade and just stick to mascara and eyeliner if you're wearing red lipstick. In putting on makeup, we should take care how we put on our eye makeup and how we apply eyeshadow. The eyes, in fact, are the loveliest features on a lady's face, so we should stress their beauty always.
