A Beginners Guide To Eye Makeup

Eye makeup can be a little daunting if you’re not used to wearing it. But don’t worry, we’re here to help! This beginner’s guide to eye makeup will teach you everything you need to know to get started with some of the most affordable eyeshadow palettes.

1. Start with a clean canvas. Make sure your skin is clean and moist before beginning to apply any makeup. Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser and moisturizing well.
2. Next, it’s time to prep your eyes. If you have any dryness or flakiness, now is the time to deal with it. Apply a small amount of eye cream or primer to your lids and under-eyes. This will help create a smooth base for your eye makeup. And, it will help your eyeshadow stay in place and prevent it from creasing. We recommend the MAC Paint Pot in the shade of Soft Ochre.
3. Next, you’ll need to choose your eyeshadow. If you’re not sure where to start, we recommend a neutral palette like the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. This palette has all the shades you need to create a basic eyeshadow look. Once you have your eyeshadow, it’s time to start applying it!

• We recommend using a light eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eye and near the tear ducts. And use this same color to highlight the eyebrow arch.
• Apply a mid-tone shade on your eyelid and blend it up to your crease and corner.
• Now, take a darker shade and apply it on the edges of your eyelid and lashes. Then, complete your whole makeup look with other makeup products.

NOTE: Wet a little your brush before you start applying your shadow to get more pigmentation. And, Yeah! don’t forget to tap your brush to remove excessive products.
