Beautiful Eyes Make Up Tips
Eyes make up is the most difficult to master. So many things can go wrong with makeup on the eyes. The good news is that when even the basics of eye makeup are mastered, the results are simply stunning with even the most ordinary eyes transformed into alluring eyes.
In my case, since I was a quick study and I have been putting on makeup since my teenage years, eye makeup was relatively easy. These eyes make up tips will help in your own quest to have flawless-looking eyes for both day and night as well as for casual and formal occasions.

Eye shadows

Let's start with the eye shadows since these are the first products applied to the eye area. Well, you must apply a primer to serve as the base for the eye shadows and for the rest of the cosmetic products, of course.
Keep in mind that the purposes of the colours in eye make-up are to open up and add depth to the eyes, which means that you can add character to the eyes. Here then are my eye make-up tips to achieve just the right look for your eyes depending on the shape and colour of your eyes - colour of the eye shadows can be toned down or amped up depending on the occasion.

For the shape of eyes, remember these general rules:

  • Small Eyes - Keep the eye make up to a minimum as too much colour will make your eyes look smaller. Instead, apply a light colour on the eyelid, a darker colour in its crease and then highlight just under the brow.
  • Large Eyes - use dark colours for the eyelid including the crease while the brow must be highlighted with a flat colour.
  • Wide-set Eyes - Light colours on the eyelids and under the brows with medium colours on the crease.
  • Round Eyes - Apply one shade over the entire eyelid and then extending it to the outer corners.
  • Oriental Eyes - Use highlighter under the brow, dark shade on the lid's outer half and light shade on the lid's inner half.
And if you have light skin, I recommend avoiding the use of very dark shades and shimmer even when these are in fashion. You will only be highlighting your flaws in the eye area, which defeats the purpose of putting on makeup in the first place.
For the colours of the eyes, the rules are more flexible. I usually play with the colours of the eye shadows depending on many factors including my mood and my outfit as well as the fashionable colours of the season. Still, I have found that certain colours of eye shadows accentuate specific eye colours, which led to my tried and true pairings below:
  1. Blue eyes are complemented by violet, deep blue, purple, grey and taupe
  2. Green and hazel eyes look best when the eye shadows are in apricot, purple, plum, brown and other green shades
  3. Brown eyes can be highlighted by copper, champagne, bronze and greenish shades as well
All eye colours work with a navy or charcoal base, which can be further defined by the application of powder blue and its related colours. Again, the fun in eye make-up begins when you experiment with other colours to add a surprise element.
Before I forget, my most important eye make-up tips are two-fold. First, be gentle with your eyes - no pulling, no tugging and no rubbing when applying eye makeup from the primer to the eye shadows. Second, always clean your eyes of the eye shadows and mascara before going to sleep.
