The eye is the “mirror of the soul”, so it has to reflect inner beauty. For a modern woman, who wants her eyes to create the statement, here are eye makeup tips that can clearly illustrate her adored beauty.
From Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, who lined her eyes with a black charcoal, to contemporary female executives, women have been wearing makeup to emphasize the beauty of their eyes. Bringing the eyes to life is a real art and like any good artist one has to learn the basics of precise brush work and color matching. The basic rule in any eye makeup is to create the right base. By doing so, those dark circles around the eyes can be hidden to create a smooth surface for other makeup cosmetics.
The most important part of eye makeup is styling your eyes correctly. This is done with eyeshadow, using the theory of light versus dark. The eyeshadow balances the appearance of the eyes. The eyeshadow you select should be appropriate for the skin tone and the occasion.
The first tip for eye makeup is to start with a good eye cream. This will soften and keep the skin around the eyes moist. Apply them regularly for three days and examine the difference. Remember to use your ring finger when applying the eye cream, as it exerts the least amount of pressure.
Many women have trouble with puffy eyes when they wake up every morning. Applying eye cream or eye gel helps reduce eye puffiness and one feels very refreshing.
In case you don’t like wearing heavy eye makeup, your makeup box should include eyebrow pencils, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and concealer. These cosmetics will take care of your eyes to perfection.
Eye makeup can enhance facial appearance by enhancing natural beauty. It will make you look beautiful, helping to disguise the enigma of aging. If the makeup is applied correctly to the eyes, it will have a great impact on the appearance. It also strongly reflects one’s personality, how they feel about themselves, increasing self-esteem and making them more attractive. When applying concealer to the eye, tap gently with the ring finger and do not rub it. A flat nylon brush or sponge will be used to apply the concealer. Concealment creams are available in light, medium and dark shades.
If you have a small eye, never apply eyeliner to the inner edges. Place it above or below the lash line. Flesh colored eyeshadows, applied to your brown bone, will open your eyes. If the eyes are very round, apply a natural kohl pencil around the entire eye. For very narrow or almond-shaped eyes, open the outer corner with the brown or pencil trick.
Women should never darken the eyebrows as it will dominate the eyes and the rest of the face. Too much brow pencil can ruin the impact of the rest of your makeup. The brow pencil should be used sparingly and fill in only those areas that require it. For women who have very thick eyebrows, the brow pencil should be neglected. On the contrary, plucking and arching of the eyebrows may be required in such cases. When clamping, be sure to grip the skin tightly. With tweezers at the root of the hair and in the direction in which the hair grows. Remove only those hairs below the browbone.
Eye pencils
The eyeliner should glide on smoothly, without dragging the skin. If they are soft and brittle, store them in the freezer before applying. If they are too hard and pull on the skin, first soften the tip by gently running it over the back of your hand.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner is used to define the shape of an eye. It is also used to make the base of the eyelashes appear thicker. Eyeliner colors should be consistent with hair color. For a blonde or brunette, brown eyeliner is the best option.
Eye mascara
Mascara gives the appearance of larger lashes. When applying makeup, it is applied last. For those eyes that have brown or black hair, black mascara would be the most appropriate. For lighter or blonde, brownish black mascara is preferred.
Apply concealer
Concealers will be applied to remove dark circles, scars, tattoos, blemishes and pimples to improve the appearance of the face. The concealer is placed under the foundation and is used for spot treatments. They are more opaque than normal makeup, but should still be matched to the skin tone and applied before using the harmony foundation. They are also formulated so that subsequent makeup application does not remove them.
Apply mascara
Before applying the mascara, it is necessary to curl the eyelashes with an eyelash curler to open the eyes. This will frame the eyes, especially if the lashes are short. The mascara is applied in two layers by placing the finger in the middle of the eyelid or on the eyebrow. Once the first application has dried, apply a second. For thicker lashes, carefully apply mascara on top of lashes as well.
Apply eyebrow pencil
Draw fine lines in the direction of the brows to define and fill in the light areas. Never draw an outline around the brow, as this makes it look unnatural.
Apply eyeliner
The desired effect of an eyeliner pencil is to create the illusion of darkness just above the lash line to enhance the look of the lashes. Gently pull on the skin of the eyelid to start on the inside of the eyelid and draw a thin line smoothly and evenly along the upper eyelid. A very fine pencil line should run very close to the lash line along the innermost part of the upper eyelid near the nose. This is often forgotten, but it always adds an attractive natural definition to the eye. For a natural look, place a few small dots of color near the root of the lashes along the lower lashes.
Apply liquid eyeliner
Liquid eyeliner achieves a more dramatic emphasis on the eyes. Best used when a dramatic and more glamorous look is desired. The advice is to apply it carefully to get the look you want.
Apply eyeshadow
The purpose of applying eyeshadow to the lids is to maximize the shape of the eyes by using up to three different eye shades: light, medium, and dark. Midtones are generally more neutral foundation shades. The light is for highlighting the shadow and the dark is for contouring. For a softer eyeshadow application that lasts longer, try applying a thin layer of yellow concealer powder to your lids before applying the shadow.
Reducing eye strain and improving vision is a must for all worshiping eyes. Here are some exercises to keep your eye comfortable and rejuvenate stamina.
Massaging the temples will help relax and reduce eyestrain. Using the tips of the index or second finger, gently rotate the depression on each side of the forehead at the level of the eyebrows.

With the first two fingers and the thumb of each hand, gently pinch or rub the bony bridge of the nose. This helps eliminate tension and headaches.
