1. Experiment with Eye Make Up Tips to Find the Balance

You really need to experiment and play with new colors and have fun learning to apply eye shadow that is within the same shade and that complement each other (you can soften and blend similar colors easier). That's why, neutral eye make up is a favorite. When applied properly it draws people's gazes "into" your beautiful eyes, not "at" your eyes. The ideal behind eye make up tips application is to create illusions that minimize "faults" and increase the perception of picture perfect expressive eyes.

Eye makeup should enhance your eye's shape and color. To outline the contour of the eye, you can use eyeliners or pencils. Eye make up tips can be used for shading and shaping the eye, and mascara to give eye lashes the illusion of length and thickness. When it comes to creating the illusion of light and shadow, eye makeup does a wonderful job, once you can apply eye make up tips appropriately.

Here's the general rule to apply eye make up tips. You need to use four different-colored shadows as follows;

apply eye make up tips in a neutral-toned base
a main color
a lighter shade for highlighting
a darker shade for emphasizing

It is also important that you have access to a magnifying mirror, and to have a set of variety-sized brush, and/or cosmetic sponges handy to blend the eye make up.

2. Determining your Eyelid Shape - How to Shade for Shape

Prominent Eyelid - If you have this eyelid you want to make the eyelid look smaller and thinner. So shade the eyelid and the crease of the eye and highlight only below the eyebrow, not the eyelid.

Hooded Eyelid - With this type you want to make it look like there is more eye lid. Apply high lighter on the eyelid to make it look larger. Shade the crease of the eye only and spread the eyeshadow outwards to join the corners of the eye.

Deep Set Eyelid - This is the most versatile shape because you can either apply eye shadow tips to highlight or shade the eyelid (of course, you don't want to do both at the same time ;-). Make sure you shade the crease of the eye and apply high lighter just under the eyebrow.

You can use eye shadow tips to apply brown, smokey, green or blue shades for any of the above lid shapes depending on which is complementary to you.

3. How to Apply Eye Shadow to Create Shape - Winged & Round

There are two basic ways to apply eye shadow in shape shading, "rounded" and "winged". Now you want to determine what is the best shading shape in your case. You can try applying one shading shape "rounded" to one eye and the other shading shape "winged" to the other eye, then look in the mirror to see which one looks best on you (the rounded technique seems to look good on the majority of women). If you don't have much room between the eyelid crease of your eye and your eyebrow then apply eye shadow using the winged shape (unless there is some sagging).

1. Winged Shading - looks best where skin towards the corner of the eye is not sagging such as on younger women because their skin is still firm.

2. Round Shading - use when your brow bone markedly curves around the eye and don't used the winged style because it will make any sag more obvious.
