Eye Makeup Tips – Eyeshadow Application

Start by having your eyebrows neatly shaped. Get it done professionally for the first time. In case you want to do it at home by yourself never in between your make-up. The best time to tweeze your eyebrows is after a bath as the pores are open. Apply a little vaselil1e and smooth into shape. All the hairs that detract from a neat shape should be plucked out. To determine where the eyebrows should start and end, hold a pencil upright from your nose, resting the pencil against the nostril, the pencil should touch the inner edge of the brow. Move the pencil to form an angle ending at the outer comer of the eye. Above where the pencil ends, the eyebrow should end. Tweeze only the stragglers that detract from the clean outline of your brow.

If your face is round or pear-shaped, the outer tips of the brow should point towards tlle hairline; a long or oval face-the tips should arch down so that the curve will soften the lines of the face.

Apply a colourful eye-shadow all over the eyelid area. Don’t extend outside the natural shape and don’t take it above the eyecrease.

Next, highlight the brow area with white eye-shadow. Contour the eye by applying brown or grey right at the socket line. Next comes the eyeliner, which should be a very thin line drawn close to the lashes. After that comes the mascara which is a must.

Eye-shadow should be skipped by those who have naturally shadowed lids, darkly circled eyes, or Wrinkled eye area.
