The correct techniques for applying eye makeup will help make you appear more awake while also improving the appearance of the rest of your features. Well-done eye makeup can make your features stand out while adding that splash of colour to your face. Bright eye makeup is not only meant for your lids; you can also play with bright eyeliner, applying it to just a few areas. This will not only make your eye makeup look more attractive, but it will also last throughout the day! To make your eyeshadows picture-perfect, start off by applying a super-light, ultra-neutral hue on the lids.

If you are in a hurry and are unsure what eye look you want to achieve, simply use a brush to spread out a neutral glittered eyeshadow over the entire lid. To finish off the look, put a matte black eyeshadow in the outer corners of your eyes and near your lower lash line. 

When you have more time to really work on your look, then it’s best to play with different shades to explore the makeup looks and hacks that work best for you. In case you want your eyes to be the most prominent feature, then you would have to spend more time on them.

Now, for the next step, you can apply a warm metallic shade to your eyelids, over your crease, down the lower lash line, and all over the eyes, extending slightly out from your outer corners. Using an angled brush, paint your darkest second colour on the top and lower lash lines. If you are looking for an extra bold touch, make sure you also apply colour in the area where your lash roots meet the lid to avoid any obvious gaps.

Using a brush, gently push the brown shade into your outer corners so that it falls into the outer third of the lid. For a less dramatic daytime look, you can use black or brown eye pencils on your top lashes, then use a finger or a cotton ball to smooth them out. For the lower part of the eyes, use a darker shade of eyeshadow; for the areas above it, use a medium shade; and for the upper part, use a lighter shade, and mix it all together nicely.

To add more glamour, you can apply concealer below the eyes and then tap with your fingers or a brush to blend. Apply a powder on places where you put concealer, particularly your under-eye areas, and allow it to settle into the face as you finish the rest of your look.

If you choose not to use primer, you can put on your foundation and a little concealer for the under-eye area. Once it is dry, you can then put on eyeshadow. It will help the eyeshadow to adhere better to your skin. Eyeshadow brushes are usually used for applying cream and powdered eyeshadows smoothly across the eyes.

When applying on the lower eye line and along the outer edges of your eyes, you will want to use either a smaller shading, blending, or eyeshadow pencil brush. Apply a dark brown or black eyeshadow very gently along your lower lash line, along your top, outer 2/3 lashes, and lower outer corners. The lashes hide the edges of a black pencilled eyeliner, but the liner pigment makes the lash line appear thicker, giving definition to the eyes.

Make sure you apply eyeliner to your lashes while moving across the eye shape. Eyeliner gives you the freedom to work your eye shape, emphasising them and filling out any sparse-looking lashes. If applied properly, eyeliner can make your eyes appear larger and helps accentuate the colour of your eyes.

You can then pick a shade of eyeshadow that will highlight your natural eye colour. To keep your eyes looking vibrant and young, emphasise your inner corners with a lighter eyeshadow colour.

For an added glow in your eyes, try adding a pale glittery shade below your lower lashes, and skip the mascara at the base, as it can create shadows and make your eyes appear tired. If you are looking for a quick fix, you can thin out the eyeliner and use an eyelash curler along with some volume-boosting mascara.

When you have dark circles under your eyes, small imperfections, or redness, a concealer is your best friend. If you are one of those lucky people blessed with magnificent long lashes, wearing lots of makeup is not always necessary to look more attractive.

All in all, the thing that beginners should always keep in mind is that there is a strange beauty in simplicity. One can just use basic shades and blend them well, and that will enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. It’s not all about makeup, but the magic inside that makes your personality shine.
