MAKE BEAUTIFUL EYES STAND OUT

 

When you want beautiful eyes, there are quite a few things you can do. Healthy eyes start with a healthy diet and knowing how to care for your eyes correctly. While most of your eyes shine starts from inside your body, there are outside influences that you can modify to help as well. Make sure to always wear sunglasses or a visor when out in bright sunlight. The sun can damage your eyes just as easily as your skin. Other ways to ensure the beauty of your eyes is to know how to wear make up properly and what will work for you.
 

• Wearing The Right Eye Make-Up

When it comes to beautiful eyes you will want to start with the easiest way to ensure it, the make-up. What type, how you apply, and how much can make a huge difference in how your eyes look and how well they stand out. What type of make-up you use can really make a huge difference in how your eyes look. Cheap make-up can really look tacky, as it tends to clump and not apply well. When you are looking for the right type of product you will not want to skimp. You will also want to be sure you are not allergic either. There are many people that get watery, red, itchy eyes after applying cheap products on their eyes. Make sure the make up you buy is high quality and hypoallergenic. Once you find the right make-up, you will want to be sure to apply it correctly. The proper application is what makes all the difference on how outstanding your eyes look, or how clumpy and messy they look.

• Contacts and Glasses, The Eye Accessories

Many people think that they cannot have beautiful eyes with contacts and glasses. Nothing could be further from the truth. Think of contact lenses and glasses as eye accessories, not something to prohibit eye beauty. Choosing the right frame for your glasses is the key to accentuating your eyes. While you will want to choose a frame that can be worn with everything, the best way to find the right one is to make sure it fits your face and highlights your eyes. With contacts, you can enjoy an array of possibilities. You can get lenses that change the color of your eyes so you can get a different look each day, or find a pair of lenses that make your eyes sparkle. The key to good contacts is that they fit right and do not irritate. If yours cause any redness, try another brand.

• Vitamins For Healthy Eyes

Another easy way to make sure you have beautiful eyes is to eat right. This is probably the easiest thing to do. There are several essential vitamins for proper eye health. Most can easily be found in everyday foods or vitamin supplements. Some foods that you can eat are carrots and squash. Vitamins A, C, E and B2 can be found in most things we eat. A nice multivitamin that also contains selenium, beta-carotene, and zinc can also be found in any drug store. The key to stunning eyes is to keep them healthy.

What eye shadow shades work for you will be influenced by your skin tone, hair colour and, most importantly, your eye colour. But the eye shadow shades you choose should ultimately be decided by your personal style, what looks good and feels right to you. This eye makeup article will give you a guide to eye shadow shades that you may find work better for your eye, skin and hair colour. We also offer useful eye makeup tips for applying your eye shadow.

• Step 1: Choosing an eye shadow to suit your eye colour

         Remember when choosing eye shadow shades that colours should be chosen keeping in mind your eye colour, hair colour and skin tone and not the colour of the clothes you wear.

For Blue eyes the tried and true eye shadow colour is deep blue (a darker shade than your eye colour will make your eyes look really blue). Taupe, gray, violet, and purple are also great eye shadow colours for blue eyes. "Edgy" eye shadow colour favorites for blue eyes include silver, turquoise, and fuchsia.

For Green or Hazel eyes greens are your best eye shadow colour. To really brighten your eyes try a deep khaki or forest green. Brown, apricot, purple, and plum eye shadow will also enhance your eye colour. "Edgy" eye shadow colour favorites for green or hazel eyes are gold, lime-green, really light green, and bright purple.

For Brown eyes tried and true eye shadow colours include: copper, bronze, coffee, champagne (soft pink with a touch of apricot), brown (for a doe-eyed look), beige, and khaki green. "Edgy" eye shadow colour favourites for brown eyes are tangerine, royal blue, hot pink, and lime green. The contrast adds punch to brown eyes.

Eye makeup tip: Generally warm tones i.e. earthy, golden etc. will compliment warm skin (yellow based, olive, medium to dark skins). Cooler tones e.g. pastels will compliment cool skin tones (very fair, very dark, and light to medium skins).

Eye makeup tip: Do not wear bold eye makeup and a bold lipstick at the same time. If you are using vivid or edgy eye shadow team it up with nude lipstick.

Eye makeup tip: When you look at a women's face you see her eyes not her eye shadow. The general rule is that light shades bring out your eyes and darker shades give them dimension. If you have small eyes, and want to give the impression of larger eyes, you want to stay with lighter shades. If you have large or protruding eyes you would want to use darker shades. Keep the basic principles of light and dark in mind while choosing and applying eye shadow colour. Dark colour recedes, light colour brings forward.

• Step 2: Choosing an eye shadow texture

         Eye shadow generally has either a matte texture, a more reflective texture (e.g. satin texture) or a shimmering texture (e.g. dimensional or French Pearl texture). Which texture you use is a matter of personal taste however matte and satin textures are typically used for day wear and shimmering textures are typically worn for evening wear.

• Step 3: Applying eye shadow

         For smoother eye shadow application, that lasts longer, first apply a thin layer of foundation on your eyelids and then apply a thin layer of face powder. This gives you a clean canvas for your eye shadow and will also help to prevent the eye shadow from creasing. This will give you more even, accurate, eye shadow application.

Eye makeup tip: Choose good quality eye shadow brushes which are flat and angled. This will give you more even, accurate, eye shadow application.

Eye makeup tip: Always work your way up from lighter to darker shades, choosing colours that blend easily together.
