Eyebrows shape the whole makeup. Since eyes is the most important focal point of the face, the eye makeup techniques and choice of colors for eye shadow should suit the shape and color of your eyes. Eyebrows frame and bring focus to the eyes.

The most important trick to keep in mind is that the light colors highlight the spots while dark colors tame them down. If you have widely spaced eyes, make them look closer by drawing your eyebrows in nearer together, extending eyeliner beyond the inner corners of your eyes and blend in eye shadow towards the nose.

Anyone over 18 should avoid wearing foundation at the outer corner of the eye where it bunches up into lines: just dust with powder instead. The first step in applying the eye shadow is to apply a neutral concealer that matches your skin tone on the eyelid and then sweep the lightest shade over the entire area from the lash line to the brow line to create the smudge resistant base.

Apply the medium shade on the lower lid and blend it into your base shade.A third color can also be added along the lash line and outer corner of the eyes as an accent to create the depth in eyes.
 

Eye shadow is perhaps the most beloved cosmetic of creative makeup artists. Since eyes is the most important focal point of the face, the eye makeup techniques and choice of colors for eye shadow should suit the shape and color of your eyes.

Whether they are being used to shade or define the eyes, lips or brows, pencils should glide on smoothly, without dragging the skin, If they seem to be too soft and crumbly, place them in the freezer for a few minutes to harden before applying, Ifthey are too hard and pull at the skin, soften the point first by gently running it over the back of the hand.

Eyeshadow should always glide on smoothly, and can be used to subtly change or enhance the shape of the eyes, to add simple definition or to make a strong impact, depending on your choice of colour. It is also useful to disguise the blueness many of us have on the skin on our eyelids.

Eyeliner Application requires a steady hand, If you find it difficult to apply liner with precision, try drawing it on using small feathered stokes and then blend with a fine-tipped brush or the point of a cotton bud To make things easier, put a mirror on a flat surface and then work looking down into it.

Do remember a couple of things. Apply under eye concealer right after you have moisturized your face but before you put on your foundation. And for constant shadows under the eyes, try to get more sleep. Doctors say that the vast majority of the circles people develop under their eyes are from lack of sleep. If your circles are a result of a sinus problem or other medical condition, don't just conceal and ignore them.

For under eye puffiness, use a highlighter or your light foundation underneath your eyes to refract light and make it look as if your "under eye" area is even with your face; again, an optical illusion.

Some women like to dye their eyelashes so they don't have to wear mascara much of the time. It is usually a safe procedure, especially with the vegetable dyes now on the market. But please let a professional do it. You don't want to take a chance on damaging your eyes.

Coloring your Eyebrows - Eyebrows Tips

If you feel you need to color your eyebrows because they do not suit the color of your hair or your complexion, it is relatively easy to do at home. Use a facial cream hair lightener, which you think is the cheapest, safest and easiest way to lighten your eyebrows.

Mix the lightener according to the directions on the box. Stand in front of a mirror, apply the cream gently to your brows and watch it. The color will change from black to brown to red to blond. Wipe it off at the stage you want, before it reaches the color of your hair, because eyebrows should be a shade darker, otherwise the whole world will know you have been coloring them! Remember, coloring does dry out your brows, so don't do it too often. And when you take off the lightener, apply moisturizer to your eyebrows and leave it there. I always put moisturizer on my eyebrows just as I do on my face at night. It is a good way to avoid dry, flaky skin in that area.
