There are many women that have no clue how to apply make up properly. Some women know just the basics, there are those that don’t know anything at all, and there are those that go to parlors to get the job done. Eye makeup is definitely a toughie. Women have diverse eye shapes, sizes and colors. This makes applying makeup on the eyes hard. There is no definite one rule that applies to everyone however with some basic steps, your eye makeup should turn out fine. All you need are three eye shadows, be sure to pick those that complement your skin tone and an eye color to shape your eye.

First thing you need to do is to apply your highlight color within your brow bone and your eye lids. For highlight colors, shimmery ones are usually the best ones. Apply just a small amount to the duct of your eye. This will certainly wake you up and make you feel alive. This also helps to draw attention to your eyes.

Crease brushes are handy to use. You can begin by applying them on the outer corner of your eyes. The crease of your eye is where you can sweep the mid tone. It is important that it blend with the highlight color and you can achieve this by going back in circular motions.

By again starting on the outer corner, apply the contour color. Be sure to go along the lash line and only about two-thirds of the way. You then go up to the crease and merge with the mid tone. Lastly, use an eye liner on top of your lashes. It’s all that simple and quick. You will have fabulous eye makeup.
