Any great tips for choosing and applying mascara and/or eyeliner?

Question

My eyes are a light greenish-blue, and I have a light skin tone with dark blonde hair. Do you have any helpful hints for choosing a mascara and/or eyeliner color as well as applying the makeup without looking too artificially made up?

Any responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

Dark blue eye liner will bring out the color of your eyes and as far as brand on both, I like Maybelline. The mascara I LOVE is lash stylist by Maybelline it is a black tube and is like a comb as the applicator, it leaves no clumps!

Answer 2

Start by applying mascara to the lower lashes by holding the wand perpendicular to the eye and parallel to the lashes. Combine this technique with the traditional upper-lash application of brushing the mascara wand from the base of the lashes up. Keep an old, clean mascara wand in your makeup bag to be used for removing mascara clumps and separating lashes.

Have you ever had mascara end up on the eyelid or under the eye while you're applying it? Wait until it dries completely and then chip it away with a cotton swab or your sponge. Most of it will just flake off, with very little repair work needed. Always check for mascara smudges; they can look sloppy and distracting.

From experience I've learned the best thing you can do is to RARELY wear much makeup. And then on days when you feel ultra sexy, DO YOUR MAKEUP. Especially eyes. People will be like whoa. She's not a makeup w$#re but when she does apply, it looks gorgeous. For eyes, I only put mascara on the TOP lashes. BROWN EYELINER I find looks much more natural and lush than black does. And it's less common, so chances are you'll get more compliments.

Blot the mascara brush before applying to avoid clumping, you can put many thin coats to have thick lashes without the clumps this way. Also put a little mascara on the top back of your eyelashes forst then when you put it on the other side the regular way they will expand and seperate.

Answer 5

curl your eye lashes before mascara, it really opens up your eyes. umm...i like MAC because i've tried maybelline but you really get your money's worth with makeup if you're like me and lazy at doing touch ups through the day. i use black powerpoint mac eyeliner and black mascara called splashprooflash-its so waterproof you can take a shower and pretty much its still there if you dont scrubi've heard that lancome is like THE best mascara but never wanted to use 20bucks on it

Answer 6

as quickly as I first started donning eye makeup, i offered a low priced eyeliner pencil that comes off relatively straightforward and that i purely practiced. sometimes it purely takes time to get the draw close of it.
