Eye Makeup Tips that Every Beginner Should Know!
While taking the first few steps towards any make-up application, the first milestone, most women cross is that of the eye makeup. While earlier, swiping a little kohl was enough, today, there is much more that you can experiment when it comes to makeup of the eyes. As a beginner, you may be little overwhelmed with what the world has to offer; and making mistakes is a major part of the entire learning process. However, with a few eye makeup tips, these mistakes can be avoided.
Here below are some simple eye makeup tips that every beginner should know.
1. Eyeliner Tips: Getting the eyeliner right is one of the most crucial steps in an eye makeup process. Here are some techniques that every beginner must follow to ace the look.
• Ensure your eyelids are oil free to have a smudge-proof application with the eyeliner. For this, you could use a makeup remover, to get rid of the excess oils on the lids.
• If you’re wanting to get that wing perfectly right while using a liner, it is best to ensure that your are eyes open, look straight into the mirror, line the outer corners of your eyes first and then fill the gaps.
• Apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible, so that it looks to be a part of the natural lash line.
• If you want a soft smoky look, opt for a pencil liner as it’s softer and creamier. You could apply the same on your eyelids and smudge it across, using your fingers for a natural and gorgeous look.

2. Mascara Tips: Talking about eye makeup and forgot to mention about the mascara? Not fair! The mascara plays a vital role in makeup of the eyes. Here are some important tips to the mascara application right.
• Begin applying the mascara from the roots of the eyelashes and not from the tips. This helps give you that much-needed volume and holds the lashes from weighing down.
• Coat on layers of mascara to avoid making it look clumpy. However, this also depends on the desired volume you wish to create for your lashes.
• If you want your mascara to last longer, avoid pumping the wand while you pull the mascara out. Instead, you could swirl it for a better effect. This also helps as it doesn’t dry out the mascara.
• While applying the mascara on the lower lashes, one of the most important eye makeup tips is to place a tissue paper under the lashes as it prevents your makeup from smudging.
3. Eyeshadow Tips: Eyeshadow forms a major part of eye makeup and here are some tips to get the application right.
• As a beginner, it is essential to invest in good quality brushes as they ensure better blending. While the flat brushes are for depositing the eyeshadow on the lids, the fluffy brushes are used for blending.
• If you want your eyeshadow colour to pop out, then it is a great idea to use a white eye pencil on the eyelids just before you apply the eye shadow. This makes the colours stand out.
• If you love smoky eyes, it is essential to know how to use the products. While creating a smoky eye, you can use creamy eye pencils as the base for an intense effect. If you’re opting for a smoky brown eye, then you could opt for a brown eye pencil as the base
These are the essential eye makeup tips that any beginner could follow to ace the look right. However, there are numerous more tips that you could follow once you get these on point.
