How To Apply Eye Make Up
There are a number of eye make ups available for use, let's look at the ones that are used most often, and learn how to apply these eye make ups.
Eye Shadow
There is an array of colors available from the most department stores when it comes to eye make ups. Some eye shadows are sold in bulk in make up cases. I will explain to you how to apply eye shadow make up. There are always a variety of colors, however, don't buy an entire make up case if it is only the eye shadow that you want, and besides the particular color you are looking for might not be in there. Eye make up is also sold in compacts and as sets, but if you are looking for a particular color then it may be best to buy the single color. A good idea is to make sure that you have an assortment of clothes to wear with that particular color so you can use the eye shadow make up more than once.
Eyeliner
Once again a good range of colors can be applied, in both pencil and liquid liners, are available with black being the most widely used. I will now tell you how to apply eye liner make up. Liquid liner is like a paintbrush, to apply this eye make up, you brush on a thin layer of liquid that dries and lines the eye. You don't have to use liquid liner when you apply this type of make up. If you have an unsteady hand, then you are better to use the good old pencil to apply eye liner make up. The beauty of the liquid liner is you don't have to sharpen anything.
Mascara
Do not dismiss mascara when you are ready to apply eye make up. It is a great product and caps off your eye make up. It is the final step when applying eye make up. Some mascaras even curl your lashes to give a dramatic effect. Just take care when you apply this eye make up.
Ensure that you have applied you foundation evenly over your whole face. Use concealer around your eyes to hide any unevenness or puffiness around or under the eyes. Start with the eye shadow. Make sure you apply a light colored eye shadow over the entire lid then start from the bottom of the lid and work you way up. Layer the color so it looks blended. Start with your darkest color first and move into your lighter colors as you move up your eyelid. Next apply the eye liner. Make a nice neat line directly under the eye. Make sure it blends in nicely and don't put it on too heavy. You can line the top of the eye but if you have on eye shadow that will suffice for the upper lid and you should just leave the shadow there and go without the liner on top.
The finishing touch is the mascara. Take the long brush out of the mascara only once. Don't be tempted to dip it back in a couple times. Using the brush start at the base of the lash on the inside of the eye stroke the lashes outwards and upwards. This should coat the lashes with mascara. Do the same with the bottom lashes. If you feel like you need 2 coats then feel free to continue the above step again. Let the lashes dry for a few seconds and stand back and admire your work. Use a tissue to wipe away any mistakes
you may have made.
Don't forget to take your eye make up right off at the end of the night before you retire to sleep.
