The eyes have the potential to be one of the most striking features you have to offer. If you take the time to put on a little makeup, you can really make them stand out. There are a few eye makeup tips that will help anyone achieve a great look.

A good brush can mean the difference between a nice finished look, and makeup that looks like it was applied by a two year old who hasn’t learned to color within the lines yet. If you have a brush to apply the base coat and a separate brush to apply the contour color, then you will be able to create a cleaner look.

You want your shadow colors to blend well and the right brush can help make this happen. Start with a base brush to apply your base color. Then, use a contour brush to apply the shadow accents. You’ll want to return to the base brush, or if you have one use a blending brush, to lightly blend the colors together.

Another brush I love is a liner brush. The brush has a diagonal angle to it so you can use it to apply a darker shadow as an eye liner. Depending on how you hold the brush, you can apply the liner as thin or as thick as you want. I find that my eye liner stays on for a very long time with this method, especially if I have used a concealer under my eye makeup.

Mascara is always a necessity if you want your eye makeup to pop. Think of the mascara as the frame you would put around a beautiful portrait. When your lashes are dark, they help the color of your eyes stand out. Mascara helps your lashes look longer and fuller as well which helps make your eyes look open and fresh so everyone will be able to see the beauty.

For the final tip, always remember mascara if you want to make your eyes pop. You might want to even consider some eyelash extensions under the mascara. The darker lashes will help enrich your natural eye color and the length of the lashes will help to open up your eyes as much as a possible so people will be able to see your natural beauty.

Eye makeup doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Your eyes are one of the most beautiful features that anyone has to offer so why not help them stand out.
