Eye makeup is one of the most important parts in the overall cosmetic application technique. If you know how to apply eye make up which is suitable for your own; you could highly cheer up your appearance and attractiveness.

Here are the 4 important steps in eye make up application technique,

1. Choose the right eye shadow suitable for yourself

Eye shadows are mainly classified into cream type and powder type. Powder type eye shadow is more suitable for higher age or with oily skin type. A matured lady may have more wrinkles around the eyes. It should be noted that cream type eye shadow would be more easily hidden into the wrinkles and darken the lines around the eyes. Besides, the cream type eye shadow would be more easily dissolved in oily skin and is less long-lasting.

2. Choose the right color

A brownish eye shadow is generally a natural selection for daytime. If you are attending some formal nighttime party, then it have to be matched with your dress’s color and usually a brighter color is suitable. It is not necessary to match exactly the same color with your dress, but they should be under the same color ranges. Although there are a lot of colors for choice on the market, you may not find the one which is most suitable for yourself. Then you could utilize your creativity to develop your own color by mixing 2 different colored eye shadows. You could simply do it by brushing the powder type eye shadows onto the back of your hand and mix the color thoroughly before you apply it to your eyes.

3. Skillfully apply the eyeliner

After you finished applying the eye shadow, the next step would be wearing the eyeliner. Choose of eyeliner application includes eyeliner pencil, eyeliner liquid and eyeliner cream, and they have different usage and functions. Eyeliner pencil would be the most easily to use, and have the most naturally effect. However, it is comparatively less long-lasting and would be most easily to dissolve. Eyeliner liquid is more long lasting but the appearance would be less natural, and it is more suitable for on-stage use. When using the eyeliner cream, the eyeliner brush should be dampened first and then apply with a little drop of eyeliner cream. It needs the highest skill because a shaking hand will easily result two or more eyelines in one application. If you want your appearance to be younger, a natural brownish colored eyeliner should be applied starting 1/3 from the inside corner and all the way to the outside corner of eyes. Besides, the eyeliner should be applied closely to the eyelashes.

In general, eyeliner pencil is the most commonly used, and below is the tip to make it longer lasting,

After finished applying the eyeliner with the eyeliner pencil, a minute black color or dark grey eyeshadow could be brushed on top of the eyeline. It is acted as protective layer for the eyeliner and makes it more long lasting.

4. Framing with mascara

The final step is applying mascara to make your eyes look with beautiful flaps of thick, dark, long eyelashes. The most commonly problem encountered would be dirtying the lower eyelid by mascara during blinking. It would be easily solved by applying small quantity of dry powder onto the lower eyelid. It would absorb excessive moisture and oil around the eyelid, and prevent dissolving the mascara. If you want to have thickened and attractive eyelashes, you should apply a minute quantity of dry powder onto the eyelashes first and then apply the first layer of mascara. You could repeat this procedure one more time after the first layer of mascara is dried. Use a small eyelash brush to separate the thickened eyelashes.

You may choose the mascara which contains ingredients for nourishing the eyelashes. In case you love swimming activities or you would be easily cried in a movie, you may also choose the water-resistant mascara. But be sure that you have the special removal cream for those water-resistant makeups since general makeup remover may not do the work.

Mineral makeup is made from all natural minerals that come from the earth. Most of them are a combination of serecite, mica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are natural sun blocking agents and are used in almost every bulk store bought sun block or lotion you can buy. Most minerals are also water proof so the hold of mineral makeup is usually all day with little or no touch up needed.

The minerals used in the makeup are very finely milled into a powder that is micro-fine and will blend well into the skin and look very natural. An outstanding range of colors in the minerals make it possible for mineral makeup manufacturers to offer a vast array of colors. A virtual rainbow has been made from blush, eye shadows, lipsticks, and foundation in hundreds of shades. It’s easy to buy two or three different foundation shades and blend them for a custom color of your own because minerals blend very easily together.

Because our cosmetic grade minerals are so finely milled they won’t clog your pores, and if some of them do happen to get into the blood stream, don’t worry, after all they’re all natural and they are completely safe for the body. Many doctors and dermatologists have proclaimed mineral makeup as the skin care makeup because it is so healthy for the skin and does not aggravate acne and it covers blemishes, acne, large pores, and scars very effectively.

If you’re interested in a safe and natural alternative to chemical, oil and preservative laden makeup, minerals may be something for you to look in to.

Although concealer is one of those “optional” products, I personally would never leave the house unless well concealed. (Shades will work if you’re in a pinch, but on a cloudy day, it’s a dead giveaway.)

Foundation, what is the purpose of foundation? Simple, the purpose of foundation is to even out your skin tone (not to make it darker, we have bronzing products for that). There are oh, so many types to choose from out there. The sheerest of all looks would be a loose powder. However, you have many more options and today’s formulas are mostly all non-comedogenic (will not clog pores) and safe for sensitive skin. Some even have SPF built right in for extra added protection. Whether you choose cream, liquid, oil-free, powder or cream-to-powder foundation, always choose a color that completely disappears or is a very close match to your natural skin tone. Most cosmetic companies have formulas in a wide range of shades for a perfect match. (You can always look for a 100% satisfaction guarantee to ensure you don’t accumulate several mismatched and unusable foundation products. Mary Kay offers such a guarantee.)

Concealer and foundation lay the groundwork for a well made face. Hide those dark circles that make you look tired, stressed and drawn out. Even out your skin tone for a polished, put together look and a radiant glow. Take pride in your appearance and those around you will begin to take notice. Because, when you know you look fabulous, you feel great about yourself.

Have a great day!
