For some, a face full of make-up is overkill. Focusing on the area around your eyes alone can make a remarkable difference to your appearance. However, getting eye-liner, eye shadow and mascara horribly wrong is too easy; to not invest in educating yourself on how to do it right is suicidal. Here are some eye make-up tips to ensure you get perfect results that will not only make you look better, but protect your eyes too.
First, protect your eyes
Remember that make-up is meant to enhance your features, but it is your job to protect those features. Always wear sunglasses when out in the sun, and make sure you see your optometrist annually to double check your prescription, or to see if you need spectacles at all. Red eyes aren’t sexy, no matter how perfect the make-up is, so if you live in an area that has dry air that affects your eyes, invest in eye drops, too.
Pay attention to your features
If you have deep, beautiful cheekbones, give specific focus to your eye shadow. Similarly, if you have naturally long, beautiful eyelashes, mascara is your friend, and you can even it out with eye-liner.
A technique that’s particularly attractive, if you prefer the natural, Katie Holmes look, is to wear just mascara and eye-liner, with a very faint lip gloss. It gives you that girl next door look that never, ever goes out of style.
Buy the best
There’s little point in knowing trade secret eye make-up tips, and then going out and buying inferior products. Invest in the best possible mascara, eye-liner, and eye shadow you can afford. We’re particularly biased towards Yves Saint Laurent eye shadow.
If you’re looking for a specific guide on achieving specific eye make-up styles, this guide is fantastic. It will talk you through how to get broad eye shadow, deep set eye-shadow, and achieving the result you’re looking for. But really, these eye make-up tips are meant to help you know what to think about when planning the ideal eye make-up for your face.
