Eye makeup can draw attention to your eyes and give you a more appealing look. But juggling between contour, highlighter, shadow, liner, mascara, and primer can be quite a daunting task. So, what can you do to ensure you have the perfect finish every time? Well, here are five eye makeup tips that you can try. These will help you make a fashion statement wherever you go with vibrant and beautiful looks.

1. Start with eye primer
Just like you need a coat of primer before applying makeup on your face, you need one on your eyes before starting with eye makeup as well. Primer will ensure your makeup stays on for longer. It will build a smooth surface and make it easier for your makeup to glide on. This is one of the most vital eye makeup tips for people with oily lids. Take a small amount of primer, allow it to dry, and back it with an eye shadow base. This will help you give the eye shadow a nice surface for the things you apply next. If you do not have an eye shadow base, use a regular concealer or foundation.

2. Shape your eyebrows
Neat eyebrows can add so much to your whole look. Before shaping your eyebrows, ensure that they are correctly threaded. Use a spoolie brush to brush the brow hair so that they all sit down naturally. Then, with the thinner side of the waxy, soft brow pencil, shape the outer brows. Finally, with the flatter pencil angle, fill in the brows using shorter, hair-like strokes. Once done, take some highlighter, and apply a little over the brow bone to give it a natural lift.

3. Use a thin eyeliner
We all love the classic winged liner, don’t we? But, if you have hooded eyes, you should be careful with the manner of eyeliner application. The safest way is to begin with a thin liner to avoid covering the whole lid, followed by a small eyeliner brush to line your eyes as precisely and close to the waterline as possible.

4. Curl your eyelashes before applying mascara
This is a lesser-known eye makeup tip. Of course, applying mascara will open up your eyelashes. However, you must curl them before you go for the mascara, else you might end up tugging your lashes. And since eyelashes come in different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses, use the proper curling technique that suits you.

5. Two over one
For your eyes to stand out, consider using two formulas for mascara – one to thicken the lashes and the other to lengthen them. When you use the thickening formula, jiggle the brush at the base. This helps cover the root and create the effect of fullness. On the other hand, the lengthening mascara should be applied from the middle to the tips.
