Eye Makeup Techniques

Using proper eye makeup techniques can be trickier than normal makeup applications because there are so many colors and cosmetics to chose from, however there are several good eye makeup tips and strategies that can give you a jump start on the specific look you are going for.

Let's take a look...

Eye Shadowing
Eye shadowss can give your eyes depth by using smoky eye shadows and eye liners.  Apply colors evenly and use an eye liner that is thin, the thinner the better.  Uneven colors and wavy black lines will ruin your give a sloppy appearance.

Eyeliners
When applying eyeliner to your upper eye lid it helps to use a magnifying mirror.  Start from the inner corner of the eye to the middle, then work from the middle to the end.  Use a thin eyeliner and keep your stroke straight and even. If you prefer, you can thicken the line at the outer edge of your lid.

I prefer using liquid eyeliner with a very thin brush.  If you like using a pencil, be sure it is sharpened to as thin a point as you can get it.

Eyebrow Plucking
When plucking your brows pluck only the underneath hairs, working to form a slight arch.  Avoid plucking the hair above your eyebrow, this can destroy the natural shape of your blow.

For rounded eyes:
If you're looking to give your rounded eyes a longer appearance extend your eye liner and shadow beyond the outer corner of your eyes, but be sure to blend the corners for a subtle look. 

For the deeper set eyes
If you have deep set eyes avoid eye shadows as they can increase the deep set look.

For Small eyes
Anyone can make their eyes appear larger by using two shades of shadow. Use a light shade on the upper eye lid and a darker shade on the crease. Apply the lower eye liner from the middle to the outside of the eye as opposed to starting in the corner.

For droopy eyes
Give drooping eyes the lift they need by slightly winging your eyeliner upward and outward as it reaches the outer corner

For bulging eyes
Use a dark shadow and blend it carefully over the prominent part of the upper lids carrying it lightly to the line of the brows
