Experiment with Eye Make Up Tips to Find the Balance...

You really need to experiment and play with new colors and have fun learning to apply eye shadow that is within the same shade and that complement each other (you can soften and blend similar colors easier). That's why matte, neutral eye make up is a favorite. When applied properly it draws people's gazes "into" your beautiful eyes, not "at" your eyes.

The ideal behind eye make up tips application is to create illusions that minimize "faults" and increase the perception of picture perfect expressive eyes. Eye makeup should enhance your eye's shape and color. To outline the contour of the eye, you can use eyeliners or pencils.

Eye make up tips can be used for shading and shaping the eye, and mascara to give eye lashes the illusion of length and thickness. When it comes to creating the illusion of light and shadow, eye makeup does a wonderful job, once you can apply eye make up tips appropriately.

Here's the general rule to apply eye make up tips. You need to use four different-colored shadows as follows;

• Apply eye make up tips in a neutral-toned base
• a main color
• a lighter shade for highlighting
• a darker shade for emphasizing

It is also important that you have access to a magnifying mirror, and to have a set of variety-sized brush, and/or cosmetic sponges handy to blend the eye make up.

Eye shadows come in in several textures, powders (compacts), pencils, and creams:

• Powder can be used either dry or wet and it's really easy to control. Make sure you look for a powder that feels moist.


• Pencils are fairly easy to use, but you need to remember to smear the line as you go or you'll have lines all over your face.


• Creams tend to be hard to control. They can look beautiful and stay that way if you use a good quality eye foundation (eye primer), otherwise they can slip and slide into the crease on your eyes and eyelids.

As you already know, eye make up come in a wide range of beautiful colors. But don't think that just because you have blue eyes you have to wear blue eye make up!

Step-by-Step Instructions on How to
Apply Eye Shadow

There are two basic ways to apply eye shadow in shape shading, "rounded" and "winged". Now you want to determine what is the best shading shape in your case. You can try applying one shading shape (rounded) to one eye and the other shading shape (winged eyes) to the other eye (this would save you time). Then go look in the mirror and see which one looks best on you.

Experiment and try all the different shading. You may be surprised to find that several of them may look great on you (the rounded technique seems to look good on the majority of women).

If you don't have much room between the eyelid crease of your eye and your eyebrow then apply eye shadow using the winged shape (unless there is some sagging).

Winged Shading	Round Shading
Looks best where the skin towards the corner of the eye is not sagging such as on younger women because their skin is still firm.	Use when your brow bone markedly curves around the eye and don't use the winged style because it will make any sag more obvious.
