Makeup Base - Eye Shadow, eyebrows, eye liner, mascara

Eye-shadow:

Choosing eye-shadow: The eye shadow you choose must enhance your eye color and the shape of your eyes. The important thing is the color chosen

Following points should be kept in mind while choosing:

• Choose natural and sober colors. Choosing bright and trendy colors may give you an artificial look till they are not mixed by other suitable shades.
• Color chosen should lustrate the shade of the eyes.
• Color chosen should be mixed well so that there are no hash lines.

Eye-liner:

Choosing eye-liner:

• Mostly black / brown eyeliners are used.
• Beginners should choose a self sharpening pencil because a proper care and practice is required for liquid liner. Self sharpening pencil is preferred because it is softer then regular pencils.
• Choose a shade darker than eye shadow.

Eye-mascara

Choosing eye-mascara:

• The mascara you choose must not pour or disintegrate, they must be made of natural wax, without fibbers to lengthen the lashes. So, always prefer branded product.
• The eye mascara you choose is not necessary to be of the same color as that of eye liner, but it must suit your complexion

Eyebrows:

Factors to be considered before shaping your brows:

• The facial distance from hairline to chin.
• The distance between both the eyes.
• The hair color and color of eyebrows.
• The facial distance from hairline to chin.
• The width of the forehead from temple to temple.
• The thickness of the brows.

Smoky eyes:

Smoky eyes give an attractive look to the eyes. It can be achieved by following methods:

• Use a highlighter pencil right under the eyebrow, with a wider sweep, near the end, right on the bone. Blend, emphasizing the natural curves of your eye. Use silver eye shadow on the lid and the inner corner and a deeper grey on the socket crease, outer corner and near the lashes.
• Wipe out the eyeliner and redefine the shape of your eye by making the line narrower in the inner corner and wider in the outer corner. It gives it an upward slanting almond shape.
