Eyeshadow should compliment the natural beauty of your eyes. Light shades of eyeshadow make your eyes appear bigger and wider while dark shades make your eyes visually smaller and deeper set.
For classic eye makeup, you'll need to use three shades of eyeshadow:
Light color to open and brighten your eyes.
Medium color to give slight depth to your eyes.
The most intensive color to shape your eyes.
3. Shape and define your eyes using eyeliner
Eyeliner helps you shape and emphasize your eyes. To make your look softer, apply eyeshadow after the eyeliner application. For more dramatic look, apply eyeliner after the eyeshadow application. The color of the eyeliner should complement your natural skin tone and hair color.
4. Apply mascara to complete your eye makeup
Mascara is used to make the eyelashes look thicker and darker. Black mascara works well on almost everyone for most occasions but choosing mascara color, you should pay attention to the color of your natural lashes.
- For more natural look, apply mascara on the outer tips of your lashes.
- To make your lashes thicker, close your eyes and dust them with loose power before applying your mascara.
- For a more dramatic look curl your eyelashes before applying mascara.
