EYE MAKEUP TIPS
Celebrity makeup artists say that the most common mistake women make when choosing eye shadows, is attempting to match their eye color too much. Having blue eyes, so you wear blue make up, isn’t the trend anymore. Today, it is all about contrast. The eye shadow is meant to frame the eye, not to overpower it.
A tone blue eye will stand out much more with a bronze shadow. With brown eyes, you can add a dark blue shadow to outline the eye.
Following, is a step by step guide to help apply the best eye shadows for your eye color.
Blue eyes: the best color is bronze eye shadow. Use a matte taupe in the crease and then use a satin bone shade underneath the brow area. Apply to the lid a shimmery bronze shadow with a damp brush. When it dries, it will have a glazed look that will last longer than a using a cream shadow. Use a dark brown pencil, closely line the top and bottom lash lines to deepen the effect.
Brown eyes: start out with a dark (navy) blue eyeliner with a neutral shadow. Start with a satin bone color on the eye lid. For the next layer, apply a matte taupe in the crease and a shimmery champagne along the brow bone. Use a blue pencil to line closely along the top lash line. Blend the line. Draw a touch of color underneath the lid to continue the look. Do not apply it on very heavy, it will draw the eyes down.
Green eyes: start with a plum eye shadow. Use a lavender shade for the lid. Use a middle-toned color for the crease and highlight with the palest shimmery shade. Use a dark plum shade to bring out the outer corners. Finish with a shimmery plum liquid on the top of the eye, very close to the lash line.
Hazel eyes: green works best. Use sheer, muted greens. Apply a matte taupe in the crease and a champagne shimmer on the brow bone. Use a light shade on the lids. Line the eyes top and bottom with a deep dark evergreen pencil, smudging with your finger.
To complete the beautiful eye look, remember to apply mascara!

Hey, lovely blog, do you have any ideas on the best way to apply eyeliner? Regards
1Best results for applying eyeliner: Eyeliner may be applied to upper or lower lid, depending on your desired result.
2When applying to your bottom lid apply to the underside of lashes, only. Applying eye liner to the lid above the lashes
may result in injury to the eye and can cause infection. You may use a liquid liner or a cream pencil. A liquid liner looks great and gives
a dramatic look. A cream or pencil liner can be blended to create a smokey, mysterious look. Either one depending on your mood draws
attention to your eyes. For aging eyes, keep the liner on top lid only. Apply liner to aging eyes draws the eyes down..Better on top lid only.
Youthful eyes have a little more flexibility. Attempting different looks with different color and line thickness is fun and exciting. Enjoy.
