Hey girls!
Ever wondered if there's any new or bold things you can do with your eyes? Just wondering if there's anything you can do different to give them more depth? to make them stand out?
I have some ideas for you, as well as some handy tips for anyone who is applying any makeup at any time.
So here we go!
- Less is more.
I know you don't really want to hear that, but honestly! You don't want to look like some made-up doll. You have natural beauty! Instead of trying to cover it up, play with it! Use neutrals like browns, or use pinkish colours...even deep red if you can get away with it! However, that brings me to my next point...
- Do not use pinks or reds if you already have a rosy complexion.
If you use pinks of reds on your eyes when your cheeks, forehead, or nose already have a natural tendency to look red, using any shade of pink or red on your eyes is going to make you look redder. It isn't bad if you have a bit of pink in your cheeks, (i'm not lucky enough to) but it's going to make you look more of a sweaty, overworked type of red.
However, if you have a more olive or brown complexion or light brown, even skin (like me), you can pull off red and pinks! Try a deep pink--but not in neon colours! Just a deep pink-rose kind of pink. I put blush on my eyes, and it does the trick.
- Have something to build on!
Before applying any eye makeup at all, apply a *very* thin layer of moisturizer on your eyelids, or, if you use foundation, apply a thicker coat of foundation. Not too thick, though. You don't want your eyes to look painted on, do you?
- Purple eye shadow looks good on most people.
It just depends on the shade. If you're a blue-eyed blonde, you should likely go for the darker purple, while brown eyed girls can go for lighter. However, it really depends on the skin tone. If your skin tone in lighter, use a lighter purple. If it's a darker brown skin tone, use darker or lighter.
- Sparkles sparkles sparkles!
Often even in little makeup kits you'll get a light white powder in with your eye makeup. If you dab a bit of these sparkles on your pinky, and apply a very thin layer right under the brow, it'll tie the whole look together.
So that's all I have for today on eye makeup. I hope you enjoy! If you have any other tips or ideas for topics, please send them to me in a comment or an e-mail!
In a couple of days, I'll be posting on tips for mascara. If you have any ideas for that entry, please tell me!
Thanks so much!
