Tips, Tricks, and Strategies for Eye Makeup

Preparation

• Start with clean and moisturized eyelids to ensure a smooth application.
• Apply a primer specifically designed for the eyelids to enhance the longevity of your eye makeup.
• Choose the right brushes or applicators for different eye makeup techniques.

Creating a Base

• Apply a neutral eyeshadow color that matches your skin tone all over the eyelid as a base.
• Use a transition shade in a slightly darker hue to create depth and dimension in the crease area.

Color Placement

• Apply a lid color on the center of the eyelid for a pop of color.
• Use a darker shade on the outer corner of the eye and blend it towards the center for a gradient effect.
• Highlight the brow bone and the inner corner of the eye with a shimmery or matte light shade to add brightness.

Eyeliner

• Choose between liquid, gel, or pencil eyeliner based on your preference and desired look.
• Apply eyeliner close to the lash line for a natural look or create a winged eyeliner for a more dramatic effect.
• Smudge the eyeliner for a smoky effect or use a thin brush to create a precise line.

Mascara and False Lashes

• Apply mascara to the upper and lower lashes, starting from the root and moving towards the tip.
• Curl your lashes before applying mascara for a more lifted look.
• For extra volume and length, consider using false lashes. Trim them to fit your eye shape and apply with lash glue.

Finishing Touches

• Blend all the eyeshadow colors together for a seamless look.
• Clean up any fallout or smudges with a makeup remover or a cotton swab.
• Complete your eye makeup by grooming and filling in your eyebrows to frame the eyes.
