Eye makeup: basic rules
Good makeup is makeup that is beneficialhighlights your eyes, even if they are irregularly shaped or you wear glasses all the time. It can be considered successful only when the eyes, whether ideal or not, look attractive and seductive, even if it is only due to cosmetics. One wrong stroke of a pencil or eyeliner - and you will distort the shape of your face, giving it a surprised or mocking look. No matter what fickle fashion says, choose the color scheme for eye makeup based on the shade of your eyes and skin tone. For example, if you are often bothered by dark circles under your eyes, put aside blue, black and brown shadows. Remember that the shape of the eyebrows needs to be adjusted regularly - chaotically sticking out hairs make the image sloppy. Secrets of mastery: how to make any shadows or eyeliner last Do you want to learn how to do eye makeup step by step? You should start with the right preparation. If you apply eye makeup without at least washing your face first, don’t be surprised that your eyeshadow will quickly crumble and your mascara will clot on your eyelashes. Wash your face with your favorite cleanser and apply a little eye cream to the area around your eyes. To get rid of unwanted traces of yesterday’s party in the form of puffiness and dark circles under your eyes, use a cooling roller. Blot excess eye cream with a tissue and start applying makeup. If any eyeshadow, even from luxury brands, quickly rolls off your eyelids or disappears completely, as if absorbed into the skin, a special makeup base will help you. Many cosmetic brands produce separate “makeup base” and “eyelid base”, but, in fact, this is the same product. Thanks to it, eyeshadow and eyeliner will retain a bright color and shine for a long time, and the problem with shading clear lines will be solved. The colors will not fade a few hours after applying makeup, because the fixing base for the shadows has a pronounced matting effect, it copes with excess sebum - the main culprits of rolled shadows and crumbled mascara. The eyelid base is available in two versions: cream and powder, similar to talc. It will be much easier for a girl who has never used such products before to use the first version. The cream is applied to the movable eyelid and “driven” into the skin with your fingers. The loose base is applied in one or two layers using a powder brush. If you do not have one lying around in your cosmetic bag, apply the product with patting movements. Excess powder will crumble, you will only have to remove it with a damp cloth or cotton pad. The final touch of preparation for eye makeup is one layer of transparent powder over the fixing base.

Just don’t try to hide bruises under a thick layer of foundation or cream powder – they will be visible again in an hour or two. You need a concealer cream, and its color should be half a tone lighter than your complexion. This shade will refresh you and hide not only dark spots under your eyes, but also the accompanying puffiness. Spread a small amount of cream over the lower eyelid and blend with a sponge. If the circles under your eyes are still visible, apply a thin layer of yellow concealer. When purchasing this product in a store, opt for a slightly yellowish shade if you have fair skin. Dark-skinned women should pay attention to an orange concealer. The final touch of camouflage is applying foundation and a small amount of highlighter. It will provide a natural glow to your look due to the light-reflecting particles it contains.

- Shadow-pencil. Ideal for beginners - to put a color on the eyelids, you only need to hold them a "pencil lead" a couple of times;
- Liquid shadows. It is usually in this texture that persistent and ultra-resistant funds are put on. Such shadows can also be used as a liner. For a make-up of eyes the flat brush is used, to put them it is necessary wide quick smears since they dry quickly enough.

- Light shadows (white, beige, pearly,gray, etc.) visually increase the eyes. Make your choice in favor of darker shades if you wear glasses or eyes that are expressive by nature. Dark shades, of course, reduce and make the eyes less convex - a real find for the correction of the overhanging century or overly convex eyes;
- Extravagant colors (matte black,bright red, neon green) are relevant only at the New Year's party, Halloween celebrations or corporate events. In your arsenal should different shades of shadows for different purposes;
- For everyday make-up is perfectShadows without a shimmer will do. Color scale - light beige, gold, ivory, soft blue, lilac. However, light mother-of-pearl will hide the signs of fatigue.

Do you like iridescent, playful eye makeup? The key to successful makeup is layering. Choose two or three similar shades of shadows. Apply the lightest to the entire movable eyelid, the darker to the outer corner of the eye, and the brightest along the lash line. After each layer, powder your eyelids with loose powder - this will further increase the durability of the makeup.
