Create beautiful looking eyes with some easy to follow eye make up tips for the sultry or dazzling look.

Eye makeup can be a daunting task and we tend to be scared to experiment with eye makeup colours because of our hesitance to look like a 1980’s bride gone wrong! Here are some staple eye make up tips which we can all follow to make sure our eyes seem sultry and beautiful.

Eye make up artists suggest dusting translucent powder under the eye, before applying eye makeup colour. You can brush off any excess eye colours which may fall down.

Eye makeup artists apply the base eye colour first; this is usually a neutral tone of beige which provides a foundation colour to build upon. It’s only after this, that the definition darker eye colour can be added and blended in.

For definition with a darker crease colour, eye makeup artists hold the brush flat on the outer corner of the eye and with one smooth movement, sweep across the crease of the eye. Always remember to BLEND, BLEND, BLEND.

Any eye make up too dark, near the inside of your eye, can make your eyes seem closer together. Instead, lightly wet a small flat brush and dip it in either gold or silver eye colour. Apply a light dot of eye colour where your eyes begin, near your nose. This opens up your eyes instantly.

For dazzling eyes, please stay away from glitter as you can end up looking like a 6 year old girl who put it all over her eyes. For eye make up tips, think SHIMMER. Silver works best with pink skin tones and gold or peach eye colours work best with warmer skin tones. Barry M, Urban Decay and Chanel have some lovely eye colours perfect for those dazzling eyes. Make sure the brush is lightly wet, as it helps keep the eye colour stay put. 

Creating smoky eye make up can be tricky because nobody wants to look like they’ve been punched! Try using metallic brown eye colours and mix them with black. Also, blend and smooth a line of a smoky eye colour near your lower lashes so the eye makeup doesn’t look top heavy. 

Use a pearly white eye colour underneath your eyebrow. This opens up the eye area. Try Bourjois or Mac for that perfect pearly white eye colour.

Choosing the perfect Eye shadow

They say, eyes are the reflection of your soul and to make your outer reflection beautiful, eye shadows play an important role. It varies from bigger, smaller, wider or close-set of eyes. Choose the perfect eye shadow application for your eyes.

First of all apply foundation on your eyes for giving a smooth base, as it also prevents eye shadows from pleating and make it last longer. Once the base is on the eyelid, select your colours and first of all apply the lighter shade. Then apply the medium shape for deeper look and then the darkest shade for making your eyes big and beautiful.

Perfect eyeshade for small eyes is in light colours whereas the dark colour would make them smaller. Apply the dark shadows a bit in the outer corners of your eyes.

Similarly, if you have a deep set of eyes then give them prominent applying of light or medium eye shadow from the inner corner of your eyes to the outer one. 

To make your eyes smoky, the perfect eye shadow begins with neutral colours. Start with lining both top and bottom lids with a black eye liner. Mark the liner carefully in the outer corners and apply eye shadow over your eyeliner to soften the look. To finish the smoky eyes makeup, apply the eye shadow all over your eyelids and apply mascara. 

For wide-set eyes, one should focus on inner corners by using eye shadows on the inner areas, use dark eye shadows on the inner corner and lighter eye shadows on the outer sides.

For brown eyes, select, the light shades of brown and hazel according to your skin tone and it will create a huge difference in your look and can really emphasize your brown eyes.

For a perfect eye makeup of green eyes, first of all see your eye colour. Different eye shadows of brown, deep purples, plums, lilacs, and dark greens are the great choice for green eyes. One can also select three shades in the same colour. Apply the lightest colour on the brow bone, the medium shade on the lid and the deepest colour in the crease.

For blue eyes, it is better to choose shades that will contrast with your natural eye colour.
