Eyes are the most expressive part of the face, which express your personality, and if not perfect, it can ruin your look. With the right guidance, you can do great eye makeup and create everything from natural to bold and dramatic looks yourself.

In this blog, I will give you a step-by-step process so that you can create a flawless eye look. Whether you are a beginner or want to refine your skills, these steps will give you a polished and professional finish. Each step will be accompanied by pictures so that it is easy for you to understand and recreate the exact look.

Step 1: Prepping the Eyes

       It is very important to keep the skin clean and moisturized, before applying makeup .

1.      Cleanse and Moisturize:

           Clean eyelid and apply moisturizer of a good brand that is suitable for your face. These small things are very important to create a perfect look. This step is especially important if you have dry skin, as makeup can look patchy on dry skin.

    2.      Apply Eye Primer or Concealer:

               Applying Eyeshadow primer on the eyelid helps you create a smooth and even surface which             gives your makeup a long-lasting hold.

               Don’t worry if you don't have an eyeshadow primer, you can also use concealer or foundation. This  also makes the eyelid even and  more smooth.
 

3.      Set with Setting Powder:

After applying concealer or primer, apply a light layer of setting powder so that the base is set and the eye makeup remains crease-free. This step ensures smooth application of makeup and a long-lasting finish.

4.      Optional: Use an Eye Cream:

If you have dryness and fine lines in your under-eye area, applying a hydrating eye cream can be helpful. This will give your makeup an even smoother and fresher finish, especially if you are using concealer.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Eyeshadow Colors  (according to desired look)

The color of the eye shadow depends on the type of look you want to create. In this step, we will discuss how to choose the right shades and create a balanced desired look by layering.

1. Start with Neutral Shades for a Base:

Always choose neutral shades to create a makeup base like browns, beiges, taupe. These look natural and blend easily.

Evenly Apply neutral shade for base  Use a flat brush to apply evenly on the entire eyelid.

2. Choose One Darker Shade for Depth:

 Always choose a darker shade for the crease and outer corners. This will help create a defined look. Applying a darker shade adds depth and dimension to your eye makeup, which gives your eyes a more defined and lifted appearance. This step is especially important if you want to create a dramatic or smoky look.
