Your Personal Makeup Artist Make Up Tips, Tricks, and Techniques from Professional Make Up Artists

To have beautiful eye makeup, it is important to play by the rules... most of the time!

1. First of all, choose complementary eyeshadow shades, and you can't go wrong! Opt for colors from the same family, and blend well. Many eyeshadow palettes come with three complementary colors, which you can use together for an easy eye makeup look in an instant.

2. Always go lighter in your eye makeup application than you think that you should. You may be applying way too much eye makeup, and often times, less is more! Even if you are doing a smoky eye, it can pay off to use a lighter shade for your everyday wear.

3. Use a wet/dry eye makeup application to get more out of your eyeshadow shade. You can wet your contour eye makeup brush, and then apply your eye shadow color as an eyeliner as well. So versatile!

4. Don't be afraid to use a darker eyeshadow color across the crease of your eye. Many women do not like to play up the crease of their eye, but even if you do it subtly, it will make a huge difference in deepening your eye makeup application and bringing out your eyes.

5. Do always, always blend your eye makeup well! That is the difference between an amateur and professional eye makeup application. No matter what colors you are choosing to use, your makeup will immediately look fresh and fabulous when you use your makeup brush to blend, blend, blend!
