Eye makeup tips are almost always too heavy on the glamour. I know, hard to imagine. Can you really be too glamorous? However, with eye makeup less could be more. You simply cannot go around with that incredibly detailed “smoky eye” club look when you are at work. Or, you probably shouldn’t.
Of course, you can still get your eyes noticed with less makeup. You can get a lot of the same looks for less makeup and make them appropriate for every day. These looks can save you a lot of time. This tip let me cut more than 6 minutes off my eye makeup application time.
People mostly use eye makeup to accentuate their eyes. The best way to accomplish this is to make them look bigger. You can use this eye makeup tip to get bigger-looking eyes that do not look made up.
You will need a dark eye shadow like brown and a lighter, golden one. These should complement your skin tones. They can be reflective if you like but should not have large particles of glitter. This look tends to work well with products like Loreal’s “Wear Infinite” Holographic line.
1. Put the light eye shadow on up to your brow. This evens out the skin and makes your eye area look smooth and bright.
2. Make a smudgy line using the darker eye shadow in the crease of your eye. You are drawing a thick semi-circle over your eye. This darker shade will make your eyes look wider and brighter when your eyes are open.
At this point, you’re done. You can enjoy your new, bright and doe-eyed look. You can also dress up the look using violet in the semi circle and white or pink in the background. You might also apply a slightly darker shade on your lid. If you want to make this look pop for evening, then try a bright eye liner or thin line of eye shadow along the very top of the lid. Use these eye makeup tips to make your eyes look huge and amazing.
