Loading ...Eye Make-up - Enhancing your eyes
Eye shadow
In order to get the best effect when applying eye make-up choose eye shadow colours that either enhance or contrast with the colour of your eyes rather than going for an exact match.
For example topaz makes brown eyes look deeper. Blue eyes are flattered by grey, mauve and coral shades. The green in hazel eyes is accentuated by the use of violet eye shadow.
Eyeliner
Use a pencil or liquid eyeliner to emphasise shape, eyeliner colour should black, brown or a toning shade that complements the eye shadow colour.
Make a thin line as close to the eyelashes as possible, take care not to stretch the delicate skin around the eye. The video tutorial number 2 below shows the best way to apply eyeliner.
Mascara
In order to achieve a more wide-awake effect use an eyelash curler before applying mascara, hold the curler near the base of the lashes and squeeze then do the same process towards the tips of the lashes.
Apply mascara with your eyes open, any clumped lashes can be separated with a fine comb or a clean mascara brush. The video tutorial number 8 below demonstrates how to apply mascara.
