Eye make up is used to accentuate the color and shape of the eyes. The most common types of eye make up include mascara, eye liner, and eye shadow. All of these products come in a variety of different shades and styles, allowing for different combinations for different occasions. Daytime events generally call for a more subdued, natural look, while evenings call for a deeper, more dramatic look. The purpose of mascara is to bring attention to the eyes by adding length to short lashes, volume to thin lashes, and curl to long lashes. Different mascara brands are sold to handle all of these problems, and they all come in different shades of blacks and browns. All of these colors can be worn appropriately on everyone, regardless of skin tone or eye color. Mascara can also be found in bright colors, such as greens, blues, and purples, but these are novelty products that are generally worn only for special occasions. Eye shadows come in different applications, from powder to liquids. These shadows are used to add color to the eyelid. Usually, it is recommended that you apply two or more coordinating colors to add more dimension to the eyes. To make the color of the eye shadow pop, start off with a layer of cream base on the eyelids. Eyeliners are pencils that are used to draw lines at the lash line. Using eyeliner correctly can take practice for some people, but the key is to pull the corner of the eye outward slightly and to draw a thin line towards the outside of the eyelid. The pencil should be angled towards the lash line to get the desired effect. The common colors for eyeliner include black, brown, charcoal, blue, green, and purple. |
