How to select light eye makeup

Light eye makeup is great for every day and can create a stunning look. If you are looking to highlight your eye color or even your hair, it is great to have a makeup that helps you achieve a finished and sophisticated appearance. But there are some rules of applying eye shadows and if you are only used to doing your lashes and using eyeliners you need to learn how to apply this professionally and fast as well every morning.

The application and the shape of your eye makeup are going to depend on the shape of your face and eyes as well. You need to choose the color carefully to make sure it does not only match your eye color but your face tone and hair, too. Here are four tips to create a stunning light eye makeup any time without the hassle.

Choose the right color

You need to find a tone that matches your eye color and your image. The worst mistakes made are the ones when one likes a color and applies that freely around their eyes, but it does not match their eye color. I have seen many ridiculous looking women who used sparkly blue for light brown eyes. It is a no-no.

Choose the right shape

Depending on your face, you are going to need different shapes. The main rule is that you are looking to make any imperfections disappear, so if you have deep set eyes you will need lighter colors. But if you have close set eyes you can cover a larger area of the outer eye to make them look further from each other. Just test the different shapes until you are happy with your light eye makeup.

Never apply eye makeup before foundation
Many women make a mistake that they apply the eye shadow before the foundation. The foundation is the base, and you need to also prepare your skin to become in contact with the eye shadow. Also you do not want to mess up your creation with applying foundation or other makeup after.

How to make your eyes look bigger

The easiest way to make your eyes look bigger apart from fake lashes and extra expensive mascara is to apply this very simple technique: Make your light eye makeup be darker on the inner parts of the makeup and lighter on the outer eyes.Photos courtesy of  yboo.info
