Enhancing The Color And Appearance Of Your Eyes With Makeup
When expertly applied, eye makeup can go a long way toward enhancing your appearance. With a little bit of effort, you can easily draw attention to your eyes. This article will provide you with some tips that will help you do just this!
It is truly amazing how eye color can be accentuated by eye shadow! Take a trip to your local department store makeup counter and ask them what the best eye shadow colors for your color eyes are - most counters will give you a mini makeover free of charge, and this can be an excellent way to pick up tips and techniques for enhancing and defining your eyes. The makeup artists can teach you techniques to really make your eyes stand out, such as using liquid liner for a 'cat eye' look. Some makeup manufacturers have also eliminated all the guesswork by selling eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara prepackaged for certain eye colors. Keep in mind, however, that colors that look terrific on your friend with hazel eyes will likely not look as nice on those with blue or brown eyes, as so many of your 'ideal' colors will very much be governed by your specific eye color.
Despite what the department store cosmetics industry would have you believe, it is possible to purchase high quality makeup at your local drug store! This is great news for those of us who love makeup...and also love having money in our bank account. Make sure you do your research before you purchase any makeup, however, as various stores may not allow you to return makeup that has already been opened. One of the problems with many brands of drug store makeup is that they can be less likely to make it through the day than department store brands, so check around first before buying any cosmetics. The Internet often has excellent information about the quality of certain makeup brands, so do a quick Internet search before spending your money. It's only a bargain if you'll actually use the product!
Clumpy mascara is a huge fashion faux pas! It's something that has happened to most of us at one time or another, but clumps don't have to be inevitable. Use a 'zig zag' motion as you apply your mascara, and always make to brush your lashes when you're done. Carry a lash comb with you in your purse to brush out any lumps that may appear later during the day. Ask your girlfriends for advice on what mascaras have worked best for them - certain brands have a reputation for clumping less.
If you want to play up the natural color of your eyes, makeup is one of your best tools! Your eyes are often one of the first features that people will notice about you, so learning tips and techniques for enhancing what you've got is time well spent. Playing with makeup is fun, and getting compliments about your appearance is even more fun!
