E.Eye
Makeup:
Almond shaped eyes are considered to be the ideal.So
when making up eyes, one tries with the help of light
and dark eye makeup to make the necessary changes
to give the eyes an almond appearance.
1.Eyeshadow:
Application Technique:
The following steps are followed in the application
of eyeshadow shades.
i.Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the
base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the
outside corner and from the base of the lashes to
the eyelid crease.
ii.If the eyes need extra definition, a deeper shade
is blended into the crease 
line.This
gives depth to the eyes.
iii.The brow bone is highlighted with a light shade.This
gives the eyes a wide, open look.The colour is applied
to the most prominent area and blended up towards
the brow and down to where the contour curves down,
toward the eyelid creases.
Before using them on the lids, always test the colours
on the back of the hand to test the intensity.You
can use even 3-4 colours, provided they are blended
well.Remember pale tones emphasize, while deep sooty
shades define.
2.Eye
Liners:
Application Technique For The Liquid EyeLiner:
Test, on the back of your hand, the amount of pressure
you should apply.Unless you are a real artist, it
is best to steady your elbow on a flat surface.Work
from the inside of the eye to the outside corner and
keep the line light and even.If you stop at the corner
of the eyes, the effect will be round and wide-eyed;if
you continue the line and sweep it up and out, you
would get a more exotic look.Finally smudge the edges
with a cotton bud to soften them.
Application Technique For The Pencil Eyeliner:
Pencils can be used in the same manner to define or
extend the shape of the eyes, but they give a softer,
more natural line.Keep them sharpened and ready for
use, as blunted or broken points can spoil the whole
effect.
3.Mascara:
How To Apply Mascara?
For best results, first look down and brush the top
lashes from the roots downwards, then look up and
brush the top lashes upwards.Then still looking up,
brush colour on the lower lashes.Wait for a minute
for them to dry, and similarly apply a second coat.Finally
brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes.
To
Remove Mascara:
While removing the mascara avoid the colour from going
onto the delicate area below the bottom lashes and
close your eyes.Roll a cotton bud dipped in a cosmetic
cleanser over the lashes, taking the mascara down
onto the tissue.Repeat till all the mascara is gone.
4.Correction
Of Eyes Using Makeup:
You can improve your eye shape by experimenting with
colour and texture.Identify the shape of your eyes
and follow the tips given:
i.For Small Eyes:Pluck the eyebrows fine to give maximum
eye area.Use a little shadow under the lower lashes
as well as on the top of the lid.Blend the shadow
on the upper lid from the centre outwards, curving
it upwards towards the brow in the shape of a wing.Line
both the lids, extending the meeting line fairly out,
to increase the length of the eyes.Mascara both the
upper and lower lashes, using two coats on the outer
lashes only.
ii.For Wide-Set Eyes:Pencil the eyebrows close to
each other.Add a little shadow onto the bridge of
the nose or blend your shadow close to the corner
of the nose and stop at the centre of the upper lid.To
make the eyes appear a little closer, start outlining
the upper lid from the inner corner of the eye, bringing
it near the nose ridge, leaving just the width of
one eye in between the two eyes.Continue the line
towards the outer corner but not quite extending up
to it.
iii.For Close-Set Eyes: Shape the eyebrows so that
they don't have the close-together appearance.Use
the eyeshadow on the upper outer half of the lid extending
above the eye and under the brow.To offset the closeness
of the eyes, start drawing the eye line on the upper
lid away from the inner corner.Draw it up and out.Similarly,
the lower line should not begin from the inner corner.
iv.For Deep-Set Eyes:Use a dark eyeshadow under the
eyebrow, but not on the lid, where if you want to,
you can use a lighter eyeshadow.Line only the lower
lid and extend the line fairly out and up.
v.For Round Eyes:Make sure the shape of your eyebrows
is angular.Blend your shadow from the centre of the
lid and deepen it at the outer edge of the eye, extending
it a little beyond the outer corner of the eye.Line
the upper lids, starting from the inner corner and
extend it out and up so as to suggest length.
