5 Tips to Acing Eye Makeup Like a Pro
Eye makeup is the ‘make or break’ of any makeup look. We get to be as dramatic or simplistic as we want to be. There are still times when creating a winged eye can make our hands shake. Fret not, as we have some useful tips and tricks that will take your eye makeup game a few notches up, and we are here to share them with you.
1. Where do eye makeup products go?
First things first, where do so many eye products or shades go? Yes, of course, they go over your eye, but which is the right spot for each and every product? We certainly did not know this when we started experimenting, but as it turns out, all these things have their rightful place on your eye. For this, it is essential that you learn the names of the parts of your eye like waterline, lash line, brow bone, and so many more.
2. Liner brush + micellar water = Byebye nightmare
This one is for all the times that you wished you had a magic makeup eraser and for all the times you won’t have to contemplate re-starting your makeup from scratch. It can be honestly frustrating when your mascara is on the top lid, the eye shadow has flaked and caked your cheeks, and your contour line is not even in the right place. We have a tip that will shoo away your eye makeup nightmares. Dip your liner brush in some micellar water and watch as it makes your wishes come true. The combination will erase stuff you want to without touching the perfection of the rest of your makeup.
3. Outline the brow
Filling in and defining the brows has become a norm among makeup and beauty enthusiasts. But here is an expert tip you may or may not have heard of – outlining. Use a nude or white liner while doing so. Outlining helps define the brows and eliminates any inconsistency in your brow makeup. This also highlights and gives your eye makeup a much sharper finish.
4. Find the right eyeliner
We are aware of everyone’s long-time commitment to black. But it does not hurt to indulge in other colors ever so often. There might be days where black might not be the savior it usually is. In these times of need, turn to colored eyeliners and take that leap of faith. Colored liners can enhance the shape of your eyes. Just choose which part of your eye you want to enhance and line accordingly. If you are skeptical about it, try using an eye shadow palette before investing in a fresh new pencil.
5. Remember to curl
Instead of panicking about the winged eye when you are running late, skip it altogether and focus on your eyelashes. Before grabbing your mascara tube, reach out for the trusted lash curler. This will help lengthen your lashes, make them more dreamy, and be the showstopper of your eye game. If you want to take it to new heights and stay there, heat your curler with a hairdryer before cinching it at the base of your lashes. FYI, to keep your upper lid mascara-free, use a spoon to shield it while layering on your lashes.
