Eyes are the windows of the soul. They reveal your confidence and
lend individuality to your face. The right eye make up can help in
creating magic and getting attention to your eyes. Whether it is the
right shade of eye shadow or skillfully applied mascara, the
application of eye makeup is critical to your overall makeup routine.
Use skillful techniques to hide flaws and play up the best part of your
eyes. Eye make up should be applied after washing the eyes so that the
makeup does not clump. Always remember the vital role played by eye
make up remover in keeping your eyes healthy.
You must choose a good concealer. Always choose one shade lighter
than your skin tone and completely cover any dark circles. Since the
smokey eye is very dark, you want to be certain you have good coverage
here.
With a black eye pencil, draw a line along the upper lashes. Start
thin at the inner corner of the eye gradually getting thicker as you
work your way out.
As close to the lower lash line as possible, draw a thin line. You
can stop either one third of the way in or take it all of the way in to
the inner corner. It all depends on how dramatic of a look you want.
Play around with both and see what looks best on you.
Select your color. Violets and blues are good for brown eyes and
grays, browns or blues are good for blue eyes. You’ll need three colors
of the same shade, a highlight that is a shimmer and flesh toned, a
mid-tone that is a matte and a shade darker than your skin tone and a
contour color in a matte or shimmer that is the darkest color you’ll
use.
Apply the highlight, or the lightest color, directly on your brow
bone down to the crease of your eye. Dab a bit of the highlight color
in the duct of each eye.
Put the mid-tone on your eyelid. Start at your eyelashes and work
your way up to the crease of your eye, blending with the highlight
color.
With black liquid eye liner, draw a line on top of the black eye pencil. This gives it staying power.
Coat top and bottom lashes with two coats of black mascara.
The Smokey Eye Effect
Smokey eyes always look beautiful and stylish, and if you know the
right beauty tips applying eye make up for a smokey eye effect can be
very simple. The best place to start in your smokey eye makeup
application is with an eye shadow base that will prevent eye shadow
from clumping up in the crease of your eye. After you prepare your eye
with the base, then it is time to apply the eyeliner in either black,
gray, or brown. One of the most important smokey eye makeup tips to
remember is to apply a slightly lighter color of eyeliner along the
bottom of your eyes, and then smudge for the desired smokey effect.
