Learn The Do’s and Don’ts of Applying Eye Makeup
Eye makeup is an essential part of any makeup routine. It can enhance the beauty of your eyes and make you look more awake and lively. However, applying eye makeup can also be tricky and can lead to disastrous results if not done correctly. To help you achieve the perfect eye makeup look, here are some dos and don’ts of applying eye makeup.
Do:
Start with a clean base
Before applying any eye makeup, it is important to start with a clean base. This means removing any traces of oil, dirt, and makeup from your eyelids. Use a gentle eye makeup remover or micellar water, such as the Rose Micellar Cleansing Water from 100% PURE, to clean your eyelids before starting your eye makeup routine.
Prime your eyelids
Priming your eyelids is crucial for making sure your eye makeup lasts all day and does not crease. Use an eye shadow primer or a concealer on your eyelids to create a smooth base for your eye makeup.
Choose the right eye shadow colors
When it comes to eye shadow, choose colors that complement your eye color and skin tone. For example, warm colors like browns and golds look great on people with warm skin tones, while cool colors like blues and purples look best on those with cool skin tones.
Blend, blend, blend
Blending is the key to a flawless eye makeup look. Make sure to blend the colors together to avoid harsh lines and create a seamless look. Use a blending brush to diffuse the colors and make them look natural.
Use eyeliner to enhance your eyes
Eyeliner can help define your eyes and make them look bigger and brighter. Choose a liner that is easy to apply and has a long-lasting formula like the Creamy Long Last Liner from 100% PURE. You can also use it to create different eye makeup looks, like the classic cat eye or a smoky eye.
Don’t:
Overdo it on the glitter
While glitter can add some sparkle to your eye makeup, it is important not to overdo it. Too much glitter can make you look like a disco ball and take away from the natural beauty of your eyes. Use a small amount of glitter on the inner corners of your eyes or on your brow bone for a subtle touch of sparkle.
Apply eye shadow too close to your lash line
Applying eye shadow too close to your lash line can make your eyes look smaller and detract from the beauty of your eyes. Make sure to apply eye shadow above your lash line to enhance the natural shape of your eyes.
Use the wrong brush
Using the wrong brush can make it difficult to apply your eye makeup and create a flawless look. Make sure to choose the right brush for the job, such as a flat brush for applying eye shadow or a fine brush for applying eyeliner.
Neglect to remove your eye makeup before bed
Neglecting to remove your eye makeup before bed can lead to clogged pores and eye infections. Make sure to remove all traces of eye makeup before going to bed to keep your eyes and skin healthy.
Apply eyeliner too thick
Applying eyeliner too thick can make your eyes look heavy and detract from the natural beauty of your eyes. Start with a thin line and build up the intensity if desired.
In conclusion, eye makeup can be a fun and creative way to enhance the beauty of your eyes. By following these dos and don’ts of applying eye makeup, you can create a flawless and natural look that will make your eyes look bright and beautiful.
