Choosing Eyeliner
Many brands offer a variety of hues, textures and types of
eyeliners; ideally suited for different situations, weather
conditions, shape and color of the eyes. Eyes are quite delicate and
need to be handled with care. Soft eyeliner pencils, liquid
eyeliner, felt tip eyeliner that works like the liquid one and the
cake eyeliners are the most common types available in the
market. Pencils and felt tips must glide easily on the eyelid area and
must not require pressure. Using eyeliner properly needs a lot of
practice and a steady hand to avoid smudging it. Pencil and felt tip
eyeliners are easier to control as you can use them like pens to sketch
the desired look and define your eyes while liquid eyeliners need more
practice just like using pointed brushes in painting and may smudge
easily but they make better, brighter and clearer lines.
Eyeliner plays a great role in creating
optical illusions to give a new shape and size to your eyes. Gray,
black and brown liners can be used to line outer third of upper lids of
the close set eyes and then smudged gently. Liner of a lighter shade
should be used at the inner side of the eye to add the look of the width
between eyes. Small eyes can be opened up by lining them with a dark
shade that thickens at the outer edge of the eye. Under lower lash,
line with a very light shade such as gold, silver and white. Deep-set
eyes can be controlled by lining the upper lash line with pale shade
that shimmers while the outer edge of the lower lash should be lined
with soft and neutral colors such as gray or taupe.width

Choosing Eyeshadows
Eyeshadows add a depth to the eyes of a woman and its right
application can make the eyes look smaller, bigger, set closely together
or set apart. All we need is to choose the right color and shade and
know how to apply it perfectly. The shape of your eyes, the brow
bone and shape of your eyebrows, your eyelid and the corner of your eyes
all play a role in the right application of the eyeshadow. A pearly
eyeshadow needs a sponge applicator to avoid flaking while a shading
brush is of great help when it comes to blend in the colors of the
eyeshadows. Liquid eyeshadows are sheer and double up as a
highlighter for face, body and eyes. They add shimmering to the eye
makeup and also serve as the base to help other eyeshadows layered on
them to set and give depth to them.
