Take the help of a professional to get the right shape of your eyebrows, if you are not very keen on using tweezers on your own. Threading your eyebrows may be a better solution compared to using tweezers to shape your eyebrows.
- To get perfectly groomed brows without much effort, define the brow with an eyebrow pencil in tiny stokes lightly, comb through it in the upward and outward direction with an eyebrow comb to do away with any extra foundation or powder and give it a fuller shape. This will enhance the beauty of your eyes. Apply a little clear gel to hold the shape in place.
- Eyeshadows, too, form a major part of eye makeup as these too enhance the looks. Eye shadows comes in two different types- cream and powder. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you have oily skin, powder eyeshadow is recommended for you. Professional makeup artist also recommends powder eyeshadow for older women. Cream type eyeshadow is recommended for younger skin as it easily dissolves with the tone. But compared to powder eyeshadow, cream eyeshadow is less long lasting. You can either give your eyes a subtle look by using lighter colors or dramatic look by selecting bolder colors.
- Color is another important thing that you need to consider in eye makeup application. In fact, choice of eye shadow color should be based on occasion and time of the day. For example, for attending a occasion during day time, brown eye shadow would be the perfect selection. For formal night time occasion, select a bright color. It would be sensible, if you select according to color of the dress. In fact, you can show off your creativity by mixing two color to get an unique one.
