How to Wear Eye Makeup

Ever wondered how to really apply eye makeup the correct way to look naturally gorgeous? Search no further- here's how!

Steps

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Do your face makeup first.
    If you use a cream blush though, some people prefer adding that as a last step.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Prime your eyes (optional).
    You can use a not-too-bright cream eyeshadow or concealer for this instead of a "real" eye primer.
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Do your eyeshadow now.
    Gather 3 shades of the same color (ex. light beige, gold, dark brown).
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Dust the lightest one onto your whole eyelid, up to your eyebrow- this brightens up your eye.
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Next, apply the medium shade onto just your actual eyelid.
  6. Step 6 Now, to add depth and definition, sweep the darkest shadow into your crease (the "sinking" place just above your eyelid).
    Voila!
  7. How.com.vn English: Step 7 Make sure the eyeliner color matches your eyeshadow and your complexion.
    Blend the eyeliner into your upper lashline; it should be thickest right between the middle and the outer corner of your eyelid. You can also wing out your liquid liner. For eye lining on your lower lid, rub it onto your waterline. Keep it light, though.
  8. How.com.vn English: Step 8 Curl your eyelashes if desired.
  9. How.com.vn English: Step 9 Put on mascara.
    You will want to have the right shade. If your complexion is light, opt for a dark brown/brown-black. Otherwise, black should be fine. Set your wand at the base of your eyelashes and wiggle it all the way up. Repeat until all your lashes are coated. Dip the wand in the tube, and repeat a second, third, time. Then, do the same to your other eye. If you want to mascara your lower lashes, wipe off the tip of the wand, then touch them lightly with the tip.
  10. How.com.vn English: Step 10 Separate your eyelashes with an eyelash/fine-tooth comb.
    Do this if the mascara is clumped (optional).
  11. How.com.vn English: Step 11 Check everything.
  12. How.com.vn English: Step 12 Make sure your lip stuff isn't too strong.

      Tips

      • Always apply eye makeup in this order: eyeshadow, [curl lashes], eyeliner, mascara.
      • Eyeshadow is eyeshadow; the only difference between high-end and low-end might be greater pigmentation and sheen.
      • Natural makeup is in right now. Don't make it too colorful.
