Eye Make-Up Basics

Eyes are the windows to the soul because they are very communicative. They are what give your face energy and individuality. It is important to know eye make-up basics, so the eyes reflect your true beauty.

Here is some basic information on eye make-up:

Eyeliner-this eye make-up is meant to define your eyes and not be the focal point of your makeup.These are available in various colors and forms.Whatever you choose, make sure that it looks natural, which is why you should choose either black or brown in a fine line.If your pencil is too soft, put it in the refrigerator for a bit.On the other hand, if they are too hard you can soften them by holding them between your fingers.

Eye shadow- is meant to highlight and define your eyes. It is used to create depth so you will need to find what works for you. A simple tip to remember is that a dark color on your eye lid will make your eye appear smaller, while a lighter color will make it look larger.

Mascara-this eye make-up is used to frame your eyes and make your face come alive.It softly accentuates the eyes while thickening and darkening the lashes.It should be your eyes finishing touch.You can choose from several different types of mascara, including thickening, waterproof (do not wear this for extended periods of time or it will dry out your lashes) and even smudge proof. Match the color of your eyebrows or slightly darker.

Before going to bed, always remove all eye make-up. Using make-up remover made for eyes will assure your eyes will not become irritated.
