Make-up: How to Put Focus on Your Eyes
March 17, 2009 | In: Beauty and Grooming
Do you have beautiful eyes? Here are some make-up tips on how to make sure that everyone will be drawn to them:
First, make sure that you cover up the dark circles around your eyes with concealer. Your concealer should be a shade lighter than your foundation. For the eye bags, try using concealing cream with a pale blue tint since blue cast shadows away from the face. Blend your foundation evenly.
Avoid using eyeshadow that is the same color as your eyes. Use pink with blue eyes, or blue and green with brown eyes.
Harmonize your color palette. The darkest color should be nearest to your eyes. It should go lighter further away from the eyes. This trick works best if you want to create a smoky eye effect.
Use matte powder eye shadow (apply using a brush instead of s sponge tip) if you have crepey eyes. Cream and liquid shadows will only cake.
If you wish to make your eyes look larger, try a paler shade of your shadow on the inner half of your eyelid and the darker one on the outer half. Blend carefully.
To emphasize lashes, use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Apply to your bottom lashes first so the top lashes won’t become too heavy that they get in the way when you apply to the bottom lashes. Use wet wipes to blot extra mascara from the wand. This will prevent your lashes from clumping because of excess mascara.
