As Sophia Loren once said ... Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

Eye makeup can change your appearance and give you a totally different look and feel for the day. There are no hard and fast rules for applying eye makeup but here are some tips you may find helpful.

Eyeshadow

Use a maximum of three colours when applying eyeshadow. A light colour across your eyelid close to the brow bone, a medium colour across and below your eyelid, with the darker colour close to the eye lashes.
Wherever possible try to avoid tugging or pulling your eyelids, this will prevent the skin from possibly stretching over time.

Eyeliner

Before applying any eyeliner make sure that it will compliment the eyeshadow you are wearing and choose an appropriate colour to enhance your eyes.
On the upper eyelid start lining the eyes from the inner corner working towards the outer corner.
For the bottom lid start with the outer corner moving towards the middle of your eye. You will now be able to smudge the eyeliner at the bottom.
If you wish you can use an eye shadow as the eye liner by carefully using a brush dipped in dark eyeshadow, this is a great way to create that smokey eyed look.
