Learning how to
apply
eye makeup
can be a lot
of fun! Whether you’re young and just starting to use makeup
or old and had never tried, you can benefit greatly from learning how
to apply it. There is something extra special about eye makeup that can
help you stand apart from the crowd.
The first thing to consider when you apply
eye makeup is that it is an individual thing. What looks good on your
blonde friend Sally might not look good on you if you have dark hair
and vice versa. There are too many people who think that learning to
apply eye makeup is a one size fits all kind of deal and that is never
the case.
Pay special attention to the color of your
eyes when you choose your eye makeup. There is any number of shades
available to you and it can be very confusing to pick one. The first
thing you’ll need to do is find out if you have a warm, cool,
or neutral skin tone.
If your skin tone is more blue or red then
you’re likely a cool skin tone. Yellows and oranges are a
warm skin tone. If you have a skin tone that is in between then
you’re probably a neutral skin tone.
When you learn to apply eye makeup take
these into consideration when choosing your eye colors. Then, you can
use the colors you’ve chosen and apply them to your eyelids.
You should have two or three complimenting
colors. Then, you can apply them in the correct places on your eyelid.
The darkest color goes the closest to your eyelashes, and the lightest
color goes under your brow bone.
Of course you should never forget the other
components like eyeliner and mascara. Apply the eyeliner along the line
where your eyelashes meet your eyelid. Most people like to do this one
the upper and lower lashes for added affect.
Mascara should be applied starting at the
base of the eyelash and working up in a sweeping motion. If you want to
apply more than one coat, do it before the mascara dries! There is
nothing worse than having clumpy dumpy lashes!
Pay attention to how to apply eye makeup and
you’ll become an old pro. There can be a lot of mystery at
first to wonder how women manage to look so effortlessly flawless. You
can too once you know which eye makeup looks great on you and how to
apply it.
