#Mild #Eyeshades #Touchup #Makeup Ladies, the best way to attract attention when you walk into a room is with your beautiful eyes. Thats why its so important to have your eye makeup perfectly applied....if not, youll just get weird stares instead of the good kind. Instructions: While eye primer is an optional step, it really helps give your eyeshadow staying power. Apply a thin coat of eye primer from your lids all the way up under your eyebrow. With the lightest shade of eyeshadow, cover both eyelids. Working with the medium shade of eyeshadow, start at the very top of your lid and sweep across. This is in the crease area of your eye, and should be barely visible above the crease. Blend with a finger or sponge. Moving on to the lightest shade of eyeshadow, sweep from the crease all the way up under the eyebrow. As with the previous shade, blend with a finger or makeup sponge. If you have deep-set, small eyes, use this shade to line under the eye by applying with a very thin brush. If you have large eyes, skip this and use eyeliner instead. Add eyeliner on the top lids. If you use a dark or liquid eyeliner, you can blend it into the bottom lid for a smoky look. If you have large eyes, line below the eyes as well. Add mascara that matches the eyeliner. Even if it doesnt match the eyeliner, I prefer black for everyone...even blondes or red heads. You can add multiple coats for thick, dramatic lashes and then use an eyelash curler to lengthen lashes if desired. First of all, I think you can wear just about ANY color you choose if you blend it well and OWN it! Choosing the right tones to go with your skin can help a lot if you’re going for a more natural look. First things first: there is not one easy approach to choosing an eyeshadow color. Take an assessment of not only your eye color, hair color and skin color, but also eye shape, whether eyes are deep-set, whether they’re close together or far apart. Far-set eyes need darker colors on the inner portion of the eyes to give the illusion that they’re closer. While it’s not as important which color so much as where to place it, it does necessitate that darker colors, such as gray, brown, blue, green and the like, are chosen, instead of lighter colors. Close-set eyes (like mine) look best with darker colors on the outer portion of the eyes. Deep-set eyes (also like mine!) should avoid dark colors around the eyes, unless used to extend the eyes on the outer portions or higher up in a blended fashion on the lower portion of the brow bone (think of the ’60s cat eye look). Another consideration is skin tone, and not just skin color. This is important because two people that have “tanned” skin could have different skin tones and this changes the tone of colors to choose from. Warm-toned skin fairs well with gold, red or other colors with yellow tones. For instance, a green can become a warm color with yellow mixed in, but can become a cool color with blue mixed in. Cool-toned skin does well with blues. Everyone wants to know what will make their eyes “pop” with color. This can be accomplished by simply choosing a color that is opposite of the eye color. To determine this, look at a color wheel. Color wheels are commonly used by artists to mix basic colors to achieve something unique. Green eyes come most alive with purples. For warm-toned skin, choose a purple with a redder tone. Cool-toned skin should choose a purple with a bluer tone. I have yellow undertones and olive eyes.
