I’m all about trying new ways to approach my makeup, especially with my eyes since they’re always front and center! The eyes have endless options of ways to be played up, so I wanted to share with you a few new fun strategies. Plus how to use a product in your makeup routine that you’ve probably got in your home or office right now!!
1. Let your CONCEALER double as an eyelid primer.
Rub all over lid.
2. Use a BROW PENCIL 1 to 2 shades LIGHTER than your natural brow hair.
3. Use a POST IT NOTE as a shadow guideline.
4. Line your LOWER LASH LINE & fill in your EYE CREASE with an ACCENT COLOR.
5. Use TWO SHADES OF MASCARA. Black on top and Brown on bottom.
Look Details:
1. Don’t have an eyelid primer, or just don’t want to buy one? Let your concealer double as your primer! Not only will it help brighten you eye bed but it will help your shadow stay longer! This Make Up For Ever waterproof camouflage cream has mad staying power.
2. Choose a brow product that is 1 to 2 shades lighter for a more youthful look. Too dark brows can actually look a bit aging. I used the dark blonde shade of this Femme Couture brow pencil.
3. Want perfectly placed eyeshadow? Use a simple post it note to lightly stick to your skin while creating a beautiful straight line and it keeps your shadow from running all over your face! I line up my straight edge from my last lash to my last brow hair.
4. Instead of the usual upper lash liner, switch things up and just line your lower lash line and fill in your crease with an accent color, like I did with the purple. (I used 2 shades of shimmery taupes from lash to crease just FYI, MAC “all that glitters” and “sable“). My liner in the waterline is Make Up For Ever in Shimmering Plum and the purple shadow along those lower lashes and in the crease is from the MAC Pro line “Indian Ink”but a similar shade is “Nocturnelle.”
5. Don’t like the harshness of black mascara on all of your lashes? Use two shades of mascara, black on the uppers and brown on the lowers to accentuate instead of keeping them bare.
There you go – new eye makeup tips, so shake it up, shake it up…*to the tune of “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift, which I currently cannot get out of my head!!!*
