Foolproof Tips for Eye Makeup

Flawless eye makeup is the cornerstone of a successful beauty look. While beauty mistakes are part of the learning process, they can be easily avoided. Follow these simple tips that will help you become an eye makeup expert!
Before diving into makeup, it's essential to properly prepare the base, i.e., the eye area, brow bone, and eyelids.

Two essential items: concealer and eyeshadow base.

The first is applied with a small brush, only on the ring. Above all, avoid spreading it all over under the eyes, risking creating a whitish halo that would only draw attention where you don't want it, and it can bring out under-eye bags if you have them.

The eyeshadow base, on the other hand, is essential to keep eye makeup in place throughout the day. It smoothens, unifies, and camouflages veins and redness, in short, it's a must in the beauty kit.
It's applied mainly on the eyelid and lower eyelid if you plan to apply color.

Eyebrows, to shape the look well

In recent years, we're going back to full, natural, but well-groomed eyebrows. An eyebrow makeup pencil is a must. Opt for a fine tip with a shade lighter than your eyebrows for a natural effect. Fill in sparse areas by "drawing" hairs with the pencil in the direction of eyebrow growth.

Eyeliners: Master the Art of Drawing

Eyeliner is not always easy to use. To properly trace the lash line, stretch the eyelid outward with your index finger and draw from the inner corner to the outer corner. If you're less skilled, make dots and blend with a brush or a small latex sponge for a natural result. Draw a thin line under the lower lashes for a more intense look.

Play with Eyeshadows

When it comes to enhancing the color of your eyes, choosing the right eyeshadow shade is key to flawless results.

Blue Eyes
If you have blue eyes, opt for neutral, soft, and pale tones like corals and champagnes. Avoid smoky or overly pronounced makeup, which will only make your eyes look heavier.

Green Eyes
If your eyes are green, you don't need colorful eyeshadows to attract attention. A shimmering brown is all you need for the day, while a medium purple is the perfect touch of color for a glamorous night.

Brown Eyes
For brown eyes, opt for metallic tones and pastels. Very dark shadows tend to camouflage the green and gold reflections in irises of various shades. On the other hand, delicate metallic pinks and intense powders intensify and make light brown eyes shine.

Dark Brown Eyes
As for dark brown eyes, almost any color enhances them, but neutral tones like salmon or golden bronze are more than perfect complements. Regardless of the color you choose, blend a touch of black or dark brown in the crease to add more intensity to your look.

How to apply

Regarding color application, using a flat brush, release the color from the center to the sides, emphasizing the outer corner, then blend with a soft-bristle brush. For the evening, add more shadow to the eyelid crease and outer corner. Ideally, the center and inner corner of the eyelid should have a lighter shade to create bright spots that illuminate the eyes.

The Trend is with Long Lashes

Very long lashes are popular! Use a lengthening mascara with a volumizing effect. To make the most of it, apply at least two coats, waiting 30 seconds to a minute between each. Don't skimp: the life of a mascara is only three months!
