How to apply eye makeup on round eyes – If you have round eyes, you need to elongate it by lining the upper eyelids with an eyeliner starting from the inner corner till the outer corner, and forming a small cat eye or just extending it a bit outside. Then use a highlighter on the brow bones and inner corner of the eyes. Post that, apply a medium brown eye shadow on the upper lids up to crease, concentrate more on the outer corners of the eyes by packing more colors, and blend it well as you go towards the middle of the eyelids. In this way, you will get the desired doe-eye look.

How to apply eye makeup on downturned eyes – Downturned eyes need a bit of lift, so the eyeliner will help you the most in this case. Just apply the eye shadow as a person with round eyes would. But the eyeliner should be thicker than the women of other eye shapes would apply it. So start from the inner corners of the eyes, up to the outer corners and at the end, flick it upwards into a smiley shape or cat eyes.

Eye makeup for deep-set eyes (Picture Courtesy : stylebistro)

How to apply makeup on deep set eyes – The only tip for makeup on this shape of eyes is that, if you apply dark eye shadows, do it very gently. Just highlight the areas of the eyes you would love to accentuate and give an illusion of round eyes. Dont let the dark eye shadows overpower the entire eye makeup.

Eye makeup for close-set eyes

How to apply makeup on close set eyes – For close-set eyes, we want to make them wider. So basically go for three eye shadows, first the highlighter which you sweep across your browbones and inner corners of the eyes. Then, a medium brown eye shadow which you apply on the eyelids from the middle part to the end, extend it a bit outwards. And while packing the color on the eyelids apply it in a round way. And finally to create more contrast, use a dark brown eye shadow on the crease. Then take the eyeliner, and start lining from the middle part of your eyelids and extend it beyond the outer part of your eyes in a straight line.

Eye makeup for protruding eyes (Picture Courtesy : popsugar)

How to apply eye makeup on protruding eyes – If you have protruding eyes, don’t use any highlighter on the inner corners of the eyes or the waterline. However, below the browbone apply some highlighter. Apply eyeliner very thickly from the inner corner to the outer corner and extend it in a straight line. The dark eyeliner on the lids will downplay the protruding shape of the eyes.

Eye makeup for hooded eyes (Picture Courtesy : stealherstyle)

How to apply eye makeup on hooded eyes – Hooded eyes have an extra layer of skin just underneath the brows, that just hides the crease areas and makes the eye lids look smaller. You don’t need much highlighter in this case, just apply a tiny bit on the inner corners. Next apply a medium colored shadow on the eyelids, and pack the dark eye shadow on the crease as well as on the outer V subtly. Apply the eyeliner on the eyelids, not in a thick way, and extend it out with a flick.

Eye makeup for monolid eyes

How to apply eye makeup on monolid eyes – A monolid eye does not have any crease. So, you need to apply makeup to this eye shape in such a way, that it makes the eyes look bigger and wider and open. Highlight the inner corners by using a white shimmery shadow and take it up to the centre of the eyes. Then take the next medium color and apply it from the crease to the outer corner of the eyes. Just create a round shape. Now define the same shape that you just created with the medium color, using a dark eye shadow. For the eyeliner, draw a very thin line which gets a bit thicker as it goes outside.

Eye makeup for almond eyes (Picture Courtesy : taaz)

How to apply eye makeup on almond eyes – Almond eye shape is the ideal eye shape. Its the most symmetrical eye shape. So half of your task is already accomplished by its own, as you don’t need to create the illusion of symmetry with makeup.

Choosing the right shade of eye color is extremely important. Only when the right shade of eye shadow is applied on the eyes, it can enhance your eyes. So, in this article we would be discussing about the shades that enhance each and every eye color.

Blue Eyes – Cool blue eyes pop out well if you wear light neutral tones. Any harsh smokey eye look should be avoided. Go for soft tonal shades such as champagne or coral shades. Such colors wont distract the attention.

Gray Eyes – Sooty smokey shades will complement gray eyes. A silvery metallic blue color or just a wash of light gray or perhaps a steel hue will help to play up the gray eyes.

Green Eyes – Your eyes are naturally bright if you have green eyes, so you need not use colourful shadows. A shimmery brown would be perfect for daytime eye makeup and for the night-out makeup, a bit of purple shadow would be good.

Hazel Eyes – For hazel eyes, metallic shades as well as the pastels work well. Heavy smokey eyes cant bring out the green and golden hints in such multitonal eyes. Therefore soft metallic shadows or light dusty pink shadows will amplify the specks helping your light brown eyes to sparkle.

Brown Eyes – With brown eyes, most of the eye colors will go well. However, metallic gold hues or salmon shades will really accentuate brown eyes. To add a touch of intensity to the brown eye makeup, put some dark black eye shadow on the crease and blend it well.

Dark Brown Eyes – For dark eyes, rich pigments on the eyelids work the best. To get larger eyes, use bright rich shades like chocolate, purple or silver. And in order to define the dark eyes more, you can use a black eyeliner or kohl on the waterline.

How to wear bold eyeshadows

Picture Courtesy : eyeshadowlipstick

Wearing bold eye shadows can be fun, but if you are more into neutral tones, thinking of bold colors as eye shadows can intimidate you. However the urge to try new things, make us switch from the regular things and experiment with other fun stuffs. So when it comes to wearing bold colourful eye shadows, we should always aim at looking beautiful without going overboard. So if you wanna experiment with eye shadow colors right away, you may go through the tips before experimenting.

Use primer – We often miss this primer part, but let me tell you, a bit of priming will definitely help the eye shadow to remain intact without creasing. Whenever we wear bold shadows, it should stay neat and clean for hours until we get back home. So an eye shadow primer would help to keep the eye shadow in place all day long.

Blending – Blending is very important when you wear a bold eye shadow. Start applying any nice bright color from the lash line and blend it upwards. Remember, too much of different color can spoil the look. So stick to one or two colors, blend them well and am sure you will look lovely in the bold eye shadow look.

Highlight either the eyes or lips – If you are opting for a more intense eye shadow look, balance the lips well by wearing something neutral or light on lips. There should not be too much of color clash going on the face. So instead of adding tons of colors all over the face, balance the look well.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette Review

RATING : 8.5 OUT OF 10

By now, almost all of out there have gathered much information about the Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette, now here’s aEsThEtIcS review on the product.

The cost of the entire palette is US $ 27 and the palette is especially made for neutral eyeshadow lovers. Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette has 6 eyeshadows namely –

Venus, which is an off-white color. It’s a bit frosted shade, can be applied on the brow bone region. The pigmentation is good. Also the texture of the shadow is soft.

Foxy, which is light yellow or beige color

Walk of Shame, which is very light pinkish nude color

Naked 2, which is light taupe color. It has a bit of brown and gray in it.

Faint, which is a warm brown color

Crave, which is darkest brown or black color. Its safer to say that the shade is actually black having some brown undertones.

Now, this eyeshadow palette is a must-have in one’s vanity if he/she is a fan of matte eyeshadows, just like me! All the colors are absolutely matte. The palette is tiny in size, I would say and has minimal eyeshadow colors. So in a way we can say that Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette is indeed travel friendly. The packaging is compact and is also light in weight. However, even though the palette looks tiny, inside you get full-sized eyeshadows. The palette is made up of rubber and does not get dirty due to finger prints as it can wiped off easily.

Now, there is one issue with this palette, if you have already got the other Urban Decay Naked Palette, and intending to buy this, you might get some common colors in both the palettes, so before purchasing, please be sure, you need the other few shadows in this Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette which are not available in the other palette. There is a similarity in between Crave and Blackout, Venus and Bootycall, Naked 2 and Naked 1, Faint and Buck. However there are just 3 shades in lighter tones in the Basic palette which are different.

One thing must be mentioned here and that is the super wonderful texture of the eyeshadows. It is silky and smooth and not at all powdery. The color payoff is really great. And additionally, all the shadows in the Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette stay on for whole day with the use of eyeshadow primer, isn’t that amazing!

Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow Review

RATING – 6 OUT OF 10

Very recently i did a super mini haul which included a few Bourjois items and then a Deborah foundation, and of course 2 H2O+ skincare stuffs too. So i will be reviewing them one by one soon. Lets start today with the Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow Palette review. I got the trio shade number 5, Rose Vintage. These Bourjois trios come in 10 different shades.

The Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow costs INR 700. This is a baked formulae of Bourjois cosmetics. The pressed eyeshadows look amazing as i surf through the shopping sites. I always wanted to buy all the trios of Bourjois but then i thought of bagging only 1 palette at first, if it works out, then shall try to buy a few more – was what i thought initially!

Baked formula eyeshadows do have a big drawback and that is the pigmentation is poor. However, this eyeshadow gives a decent color payoff. I would recommend one to use a sponge tip applicator instead of an eyeshadow brush to apply these shadows, as then it is easier to pack the shadow on the eyelids. The texture of Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow is soft and satin like and is blendable but then you need to pile on loads of color to get nice pigmentation.

Rose Vintage has got 3 shades of pink. So i guess its cool that you are getting 3 Bourjois eyeshadows in a set. Other shades are perfect to create smokey eyes as i could make out from the swatches and pictures available on the internet. Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow comes in a plastic container with a transparent top lid. Also a dual-ended sponge tip applicator is provided inside the set.

So, lastly i would say considering the price of the eyeshadow trios, the product is simply an okay and in fact i wont be purchasing any other Bourjois trios as i am not at all happy with the color payoff. No exceptional positive points are there in Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow which would make it stand out from the rest of the brands.
