Eye makeup brings out the best of your facial features. The first step to applying eye makeup is understanding the shape of your eyes. People might have almond eyes, upturned eyes, round eyes, downturned eyes, hooded eyes, or monolid eyes. Every eye shape requires a specific kind of eye makeup. Once you have discovered the shape of your eyes, you can proceed to follow the right eye makeup tips.

These tips will help you get your eye makeup right every time.

1. Always Apply a Base
The best way to make sure your eye makeup sticks is by applying a base. Ideally, you should apply a primer on the eyelids before applying eye shadow. In case you don’t own a primer, then apply a foundation or a concealer. Primer, foundation, and concealers give your eyes a smooth base. When you apply makeup on a smooth base, the eye makeup stands out. It helps give a fine finish to your eyes.

2. Choose the Right Shade
When applying eye makeup, you must choose from four basic shades. This will help be helpful to pull off an everyday natural look. The first shade is the highlighter which should be lighter than your skin tone. Secondly, you must have a matte mid-tone shade and a contour shade. This shade should be 2-3 times darker than your skin. And finally, you must have a matte black shade. You can also use a facial highlighter. When applying eye shadow, it is vital to tilt your head back. This trick will give your eye makeup some depth. Do not look straight in the mirror when applying eye makeup.

3. Eye Makeup Tools
It is important to use the right tools when applying makeup. Anyone who likes to apply eye makeup must own a flat eye shadow brush. This brush helps you apply the eye shadow with ease. The next thing is a small and medium-sized blending brush, and the third on the list is a smudger. A smudger is not essential, but it is good to have one. Other eye makeup tools are an eyelash curler, eye pencil, and a highlighter. Some people prefer adding extra eyelashes. Additional eyelashes are optional; it depends on the occasion. If you are going for an informal party, then adding extra lashes makes your eyes pop out. Additional lashes are not essential for everyday use.

4. Enhance the Eyebrows
Eyebrows are an essential part of the face. When applying eye makeup, make sure to shape the eyebrows. It would be best to comb your eyebrows with an eyebrow comb; make sure to use upward brush strokes. The next thing is to fill in the brows. Take an eyebrow pencil and outline your brows, then fill in the different gaps in the eyebrow.
