Step-by-Step Eyeshadow Application

Step 1: Apply a base shade

Use a light, neutral tone all over the lid to create an even canvas. This helps other shades blend seamlessly.

Step 2: Add definition to the crease

Choose a medium-toned shade and blend it into the crease using a fluffy brush. This adds depth and makes your eyes appear larger.

Step 3: Intensify the outer corner

Use a slightly deeper shade at the outer corner of your eye to add structure and drama. Blend softly to avoid harsh lines.

Step 4: Highlight the inner corner and brow bone

Apply a touch of shimmer or a light matte shade to the inner corners of your eyes and beneath the brow bone to open and lift the eyes.

Best Eyeshadow Colours for Blue & Green Eyes

Choosing the right eyeshadow shade can make your eye colour stand out beautifully. Here’s how to enhance your natural tone.

For blue eyes:

• Warm tones like bronze, copper, peach, and soft brown make blue eyes pop.
• For a smoky effect, try taupe or terracotta hues to bring out depth.
• Avoid overly cool greys or icy blues, which can dull your natural colour.

For green eyes:

• Shades like mauve, plum, rose gold, and warm brown highlight green tones.
• A hint of burgundy or copper makes green eyes look even more vibrant.
• Skip strong greens that compete with your natural colour; instead, complement them with soft metallics or warm neutrals.

How to Apply Eyeliner (Pencil vs Liquid)

Eyeliner defines your eyes and can completely transform your look depending on how you apply it. The key is to choose the right formula for your comfort and desired finish.

Pencil eyeliner

• Perfect for beginners and everyday wear, pencil eyeliner offers soft definition.
• Apply along the upper lash line using short, gentle strokes.
• Smudge it slightly with a brush or cotton tip for a diffused, natural look.
• Use a waterproof pencil for long-lasting wear on the waterline.

Liquid eyeliner

• For sharp, dramatic definition, liquid eyeliner is unbeatable.
• Start at the inner corner and draw a thin line outward, following your lash line.
• To create a wing, extend the line slightly upward from the outer corner.
• Rest your elbow on a flat surface for steady control.

If you’re learning how to apply liquid eyeliner, the Miracle Glide Colour Lock Eyeliner is a must-have. It glides effortlessly, dries quickly, and stays in place all day without smudging.

Common Eye Makeup Mistakes to Avoid

Even seasoned makeup lovers can fall into a few common traps. Here’s how to keep your eye makeup flawless every time.

• Skipping primer – Without it, eyeshadow can fade or crease quickly.
• Using the same brush for every shade – Switch brushes or clean between colours to prevent muddy blending.
• Applying eyeliner before eyeshadow – Always apply eyeliner after your eyeshadow to keep lines crisp.
• Overlooking lower lashes – Adding a touch of colour or liner to the lower lash line helps balance your look.
• Forgetting to blend – The secret to professional-looking eyeshadow is soft, seamless blending.

With practice, these small adjustments will take your eye makeup from simple to stunning.
