Getting The Look with Effective Eye Make-up

Eyeliner will help make the eyes look bigger and can create the illusion of having thicker and longer eyelashes. Here are some eye make up tips specifically for applying eye liner:

1. Eyeliner is easier to apply when sitting down at a table in a well lit room. Always use a mirror when applying eyeliner.

2. Draw a straight thin line with the eyeliner brush from the inside corner of the eye to the outer edge of the eyelid, supporting your arm by keeping the elbow on the table.

3. For evening make up a slightly thicker line can be applied, to create a more dramatic look. Apply some mascara afterwards, in the same color as the applied eyeliner.
How To Apply Eye Shadow
1. Moisturise the area around the eye using a cream suitable for the sensitive eye.

2. Apply the first (lightest) color of cosmetic eye shadow moving the brush from the inner side of the eye to the outer side, making sure that the color is not applied to heavily.

3. When going for a more dramatic look, apply a darker shade of eye shadow on the crease of the eyelid, and blend the two colors together with a oft brush. Blending is very important, if the two colors are not mixed well at the point on the eyelid where they meet, it will look as if there are two different blocks of color on the eye.

4. Put a piece of tissue paper under the eye and carefully apply eyeliner and mascara.

The best eye shadow color for you depends on the color of your eye. Blue eyes will look even brighter when light shades of pink are applied, and brown eyes will shine when wearing beiges or earth tones on the eyelid. How to apply eye make up depends on the shape of the eye. If you have round eyes and you would like to make them look longer then all you have to do is extend the eye liner a bit.

Experimenting with additional features such as colored lenses for the eyes can help you create a completely new look. A lighter eye colour can make a person look completely different and will enable you to try new types and colors of make up!

The best eye make up tips will advise you to use make up sparingly, the more natural the make up is, the better you look. A beautiful eye make up color can look bad if it is applied to heavily. Experiment at home and draw inspiration from magazines to create the best look for you, as make up is a very personal thing!
