Beautiful Eyes



How you wear your eye makeup can have a huge effective on how you look. Here are some simple guidelines and makeup tips to follow when applying eye makeup.

Eyes have been called the windows of the soul because of how much they communicate.  Eyes give your face energy and individuality.  They do not have to be a certain size or shape to be considered pretty - all eyes have their own unique beauty.  When makeup is applied to look natural it will bring out the eye’s true color and enhance the eye’s beauty. When you feel good about your makeup you will be more confident and will have one less thing to worry about.

A subtle application of eyeliner, shadows and mascara work together to create magic and make your eyes look their best.

Eye Shadow

Eye shadow is meant to highlight and define the eyes.  Eye shadow is used to create depth to bring out the beauty of the eyes.  A dark color used on the lid will make the eye appear smaller, while a lighter color will make it appear larger. That is what eye shadow is about creating illusions.  These are the basic techniques for the following eye shapes:

Small eyes: Don’t use too much shadow or liner – it will make you eyes look smaller. Apply a light color on eyelid, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.

Large eyes:  Wear darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease. Use a flat color under the brow to highlight.

Deep-set eyes: Use light colors on the eyelid and under the brow. Use a medium color in the crease.  Emphasize the outer corners with shadow.

Wide-set eyes:  Use darker colors on the inner corners of the eye.

Hooded eyes:  Apply light colors on the lid.  Use darker colors from the center of the eyelid to the outer corners and blend.

Round eyes:  Make round eyes longer by using color all around and extending toward the outer corners.

Asian eyes:  Apply highlighter under the brow. Use light shadow on the inner half of the lid and a darker color on the outer half.

1.    Light colors cause the eyes to open, dark colors will cause the eyes to recede

2.    If you have very light skin avoid dark shades
