Make-up Basics part 2

Eyes That Look Great

Always use good quality brushes for
a better application this will also help
with a smoother blending use the smaller
brushes for colour application for blending
use the larger brush blending outwards.

Tweez your eyebrows noting that
any hairs in the area of the eyes will
trap your eyeshadow.
To get rid of any redness on your eyelids
tone down with foundation then lightly
dust with a translucent powder this will
allow eyeshadows to easily blend.

Next with a light eyeshadow cover the
whole eye area then use a darker shade
by the root of the eyelashes or the
socket line dab a highlighter along the
brow bone.

Use an eyeliner at the root of the eyelashes
working right in using feathery short strokes
below and above the eye when your
confidence grows you can draw a single
line for a precise definition remember to
sharpen your eyeliner first for better results.

Never have harsh lines so smudge any
hard lines with a smudging tool like cotton
buds to soften your eyeliner and blend any
edges this is the number one rule for good
make up.

You will find that if you curl your lashes first
it will open up your eyes and help with your
mascara so that it applies more easily and
smoothly start at the root of the lash using a
zigzag motion to brush it the whole length
do not apply to just the tips of the lashes.
