EYE MAKE UP   

Eye make-up is meant to give shape to your eyes, enhance and glamourize the overall effect. You can lend depth, intensity and expression through clever, ingenious use of eye make-up.

Eye liners, shadows, mascaras in different lines can emphasize and create a new shape to give your eyes an enigmatic look.

Find the shade that suits you by experimenting with different colours of shadows. Begin creating vibrant eyes by applying extremely light foundation and dusting translucent powder on eye lids.

Use a soft eye pencil. Start one third of the way along the upper and lower lids as close to the eyelashes as possible. After which, you can use a cotton bud on a small brush to blind the line across.

The winged effect is no longer in vogue now. The ‘in-thing’ is to highlight the line by using a high shadow above the line. Liner is used to delineate or extend the shape. Eye pencil is the most versatile accessory, of all make-up cosmetics.

Make it a point to use it because it shapes and defines the eye, lines the lids and shades the socket shape. Use a soft, smooth pencil. For eye make-up, always use a shadow tone and not a distinct colour. Discover colours that enhance your eyes. If you are a brown or black eyed beauty, choose the most vivid and bright colours for a vibrant look.

Brown or dark complexioned women look good with a bright eye shadow, black eyeliner and mascara. Sharpen your eye pencil as blunt or broken points can spoil the entire make-up.

To thicken eyebrows, dust a little powder and use the eyebrow pencil lightly and brush the eyebrow upwards and outwards.

Application of eye liner

Eyeliners emphasize the natural colour of eyes, whilst shaping and defining beautiful eyes. Eyeliners come in cake and liquid form. Liquid eyeliners are more convenient and less messy.
