Before we start to apply eye makeup or makeup around our eyes we want to make sure we go in the right order, so the following steps are easy for us and even if we do make a mistake it will not affect the other parts of the makeup.
Firstly, we apply makeup to our eyelids using eyeshadow, now if you think you are probably going to make a bit of a mess then here is a tip which can help. Apply baby powder underneath your eyes and then carry on with your eyeshadow when you have finished with applying eyeshadow then simply get a blusher brush or any other brush which you can swipe off the eyeshadow and baby powder from underneath your eyes.
There are different types of brushes we can use from several brands, eyeshadow brushes include:
large eyeshadow brush to apply basic eyeshadow,
precision shadow brush
to apply eyeshadow on top of basic eyeshadow, blending shadow brush this is to blend in our crease,
blending tip brush this is to blend in the outer corner of your eye,
smudger brush this is used to smudge eyeshadow along the lower lash line and we also have the normal eyeshadow applicators.
Eyeshadows come in different forms including cream eyeshadows, loose eyeshadows, pressed eyeshadows those are the most common type which you find in eyeshadow palettes. Patting the eyeshadows rather than wiping the eyeshadow on the eyelid can help you achieve better results. If you want to achieve an intense eyeshadow look using white eyeliner or eyeshadow can help you with that. To keep your eyeshadow more long-lasting eye primer or even using concealer or eyeshadow base underneath can do the trick.
Using eyeshadow pencil or eyeliner can help to achieve a defined look as you have more control using them. If you have hooded eyes try applying eyeshadow with your eyes open so you can visibly see the result. Practising is the key to perfection the more you practice applying eyeshadow the easier it will get.
When applying eyeshadows and colours on your eyes it can be a struggle to figure out what colour to apply where, but the general tips are that the lightest colour works well as a brow bone highlighter, the second lightest colour looks good on your eyelid, the second darkest colour brings out more colour in your crease and the darkest colour works well in your outer corner. To achieve a smokey eye makeup look use a pencil eyeliner and smudge it because it is more creamier.
After the eyeshadow step is finished, we can move onto eyeliner, there are different forms of eyeliners we have liquid eyeliners, pencil eyeliners, gel eyeliners, eyeliner pens. Eyeliner can be applied with angled liner brush, precision liner brush and smudger brush this is used to smudge the eyeliner underneath the eyes. When choosing what type of eyeliner to wear you can note that black is bold and brown is for everyday. White eyeliner can also help make your eyes look more bigger.
Before curling or applying mascara to your eyelashes apply vaseline to them personally I find this helps my eyelashes look longer and provides a good mascara base. For long lasting curled eyelashes warm your eyelash curler using a hair dryer for about 10 to 15 seconds and wait about 30 seconds before using the eyelash curler. If you want to use the eyelash curler after mascara is applied then make sure the mascara is semi-wet and not dry.
There are different types of mascaras for all kind of reasons, for volume, for bolder eyelashes, for longer eyelashes, for natural looks. They even come in as waterproof. When applying mascara make sure you are not pumping the wand because this can dry it out.
The mascara comb brush has one side to remove the mascara clumps and the brush side to brush your eyebrows.
A setting spray for makeup can leave a long lasting result for your eye makeup but this is optional.
