Hello, guests and regular readers of my blog!

You know that the correct eye makeup makes the face more beautiful, and the unsuccessful one can make a pretty girl a vulgar hedgehog grandma. So, in this post I am going to talk about how to choose eye makeup!

Each girl has a unique eye shape. In order to create the perfect visage that draws attention to the eyes, you should determine what kind of eyes you have and what color type they can be attributed to. The knowledge gained will help you easily create beautiful daytime or evening makeup.

How to do eye color makeup?

To create a luxurious makeup for your individual eye color, you need to consider two nuances.

  1. If you apply a color to the lower eyelid that matches the shade of the iris, the effect will be amazing - the iris will be brighter!
  2. All professional makeup artists use the color wheel when combining shades of shadows, and they know how to combine eye color with a shade of the eye palette.

So, what shades are suitable for a certain eye shade:

  • For grays, the colors of steel, silver, as well as smoky, blue and yellow shades are great.
  • For blue - all shades of coffee, bronze, silver, lilac, gold, apricots, plums, swamps, lavender, rose, gold and rust.
  • For green - the whole gamut of cream, brown, green, gold, lilac, red-brown, red-violet, burgundy, blue shades. It is best to choose dark shadows with a velvet effect.
  • For brown - all shades of blue, purple, green, peach, brown, pink, silver and gold.

For those with chameleon eyes, for example, blue-gray, etc., you can combine the two colors to create one color of your choice. If you are choosing makeup for a dress, then I advise you to use the color wheel.

Types of eyes and makeup for them

Often times, girls don't like their type of eyes, which is given to them by nature, but in this case, I advise you not to get upset! After all, with the right makeup, you can easily visually correct the type of eyes. And, you can determine the shape of your eyes from your photo, it's really simple. So, how to color different types of eyes correctly?


  • Puffy eyes. Shade the creases of the eyelids with dark and matte shadows along with the outer corner, and be sure to make a corner that stretches up to the tips of the eyebrows. It is recommended to apply lighter shadows under the eyebrow. This makeup is created without mascara.

  • Small eye shape. For the eyelids, delicate shades are suitable, they are painted dark from the center of the eyelid to the outer corner, after which they form a small line upward. With arrows drawn with a dark pencil at the edges of the eyes on the side of the upper eyelids, the eyes will visually become larger, the lower eyelid should be drawn in the shape of the eyes with a white pencil. In this case, it is better to do the makeup natural.
  • Wide-set eyes. With this type, juicy dark shades are used, which are applied to the eyes from the inside. It is best to paint over the middle of the eyes with ink.

  • Dropped eyelids. For girls with drooping eyelids, soft pastel shadows should be applied under the eyebrow. Paint over the outer side of the eyelids with shadows of dark shades. Apply mascara to the upper eyelashes. It is best to draw the arrows with the eyes open in stages: first, the tail is formed, and then the line along the growth of the eyelashes, after which it all merges into one line.

  • Round eyes For this type of eyes, light shades should be applied under the eyebrow, and the crease should be shaded with dark shades, paying attention to the outer corner of the eyes. Paint over the outer edge of the eyes with ink.

  • Close-set eyes. The corners of the eyes are painted over with dark shades, light - the inner corners and under the eyebrow. Draw the arrows outside the outer corner of the eyes, and paint over the lower eyelid with light shadows. To paint over extreme eyelashes with ink.

  • But for Asian eyes, there are other rules for makeup. Eyelashes should be curled with tweezers, and mascara is better for volume and length. The following are suitable for such girls: peach, cream, golden, creamy. Also, shadows of purple, dark blue and chocolate shades are applied to the edges of the eyes. But it is best to bring your eyes in light colors.

In order for your make to "not float" in the heat, cosmetics should not be rubbed in, but be pushed into the skin with patting movements. Replace the eyeliner with eyeliner or shadows; it is better to apply powder with a sponge, not a brush. I recommend doing a delicate pink eye makeup in the summer. And, of course, do not forget about the well-groomed and clean skin of the face!

How to learn to do makeup at home?

I'll tell you right away, I'm not a makeup artist. I don't know how you can learn how to do makeup on your own at home, I tried it on video lessons from YouTube, on various articles, but I didn't succeed very well. But recently, I can easily, quickly and competently do makeup for myself. In the article, I told some of what I remembered from makeup courses... Of course there is a lot more information and it is given in much more detail. I already wrote about them in more detail in the article "" and I liked them very much and made my life easier.

The main advantage of these courses is the low price of the courses, convenience and high quality of materials.

Many people know that on the Internet there is a lot of different information in the form of texts, photos and videos, by which you can learn. Video courses do not always allow you to study in more detail how to do makeup correctly step by step. This is due to the fact that each girl has an individual face structure and color type.

Therefore, training is best done with professional makeup artists, because this will save you time, nerves and money. It is best to do this online, when you have your own specialist who will carefully monitor how you do your homework and point out your own mistakes. And again, it really is much cheaper and saves time, but the result is simply gorgeous! And for this you do not need to go to school, stand in traffic jams, pay for parking and skip classes while traveling, since the training takes place at a distance level. Thus, you can really learn how to do beautiful makeup on yourself at home, and you will also know many different ideas on how to correct imperfections and emphasize the dignity of your face.

The best products to suit your cosmetic bag

  • E.L.F. Cosmetics, Mineral-rich mascara, black. If you want to be cheap and cheerful, not tested on animals and suitable for use in daytime make-up, check out this tool. This is a really good mascara that you can get for an affordable price, and it makes your lashes look chic without clumps in just two coats. She has a silicone brush.
  • E.L.F. Cosmetics, Get The Look, Eye Makeup Collection... A great set at the right price to practice creating the perfect base makeup. The set includes lengthening mascara, but I didn't really like it. Not a bad pencil, hard enough to trace the mucous membrane and draw arrows. Great primer for eyes and shadows. The eyeshadows for this price are just great, but they don't hold on well without a makeup base. There are no complaints about the base. I really liked the matte shades and went up to my blue eyes, but the shimmery somehow didn’t "catch" me. But I'm generally not a fan of glitter eyeshadows. It seems to me that if you decide to learn how to create everyday makeup and collect your first cosmetic bag, then take this set - you will not regret it!
  • E.L.F. Cosmetics, Eyeshadow, 80 Piece Set... This eyeshadow palette contains as many as 80 shades! This is a budget eyeshadow palette for those looking to experiment with their looks or learn how to be a makeup artist. This palette has both pros and cons. On the downside, some shadows look very transparent without a proper base. With the base, the palette simply has no equal, especially for such a price! From the pros - a huge number of different colors that will suit all girls.

Girls, as soon as I find a camera, I will immediately take a photo of these products. I tried it on the phone, nothing is really visible and not clear.

If you are looking for more expensive products that are also not tested on animals, then pay attention to

  • Pacifica, Natural Minerals, Supernatural Eyeshadow Palette, Mystic... Not cheap mineral eyeshadows, but they are natural and beautiful! This palette includes four colors. They do not crumble, satin. I did make-up with them for parties, and for every day. I liked that they do not create dust, and, by the way, it is still cool to apply them with a wet brush. The product is made from natural ingredients: coconut, mica, macrocystis. Great for vegetarians! I had these shadows, but I crumpled them during the trip. Unfortunately. I will not order new ones, since I have two palettes from E.L.F. and they will be enough for me for a very long time.
  • Brand products Make up forever... The manufacturer declares that the products are not tested on animals. However, I heard that it may contain substances that have been tested on animals, as well as animal products. Therefore, vegans and vegetarians need to be careful with it and check the composition. I have friends who think that this is the best cosmetics. To be honest, I've never used it, but I trust the girls.

Now you know where to order cosmetic products so that your makeup is not only beautiful, but also does not harm other living beings. And brands that make safe and ethical decorating don't have to be expensive!
