Makeup 101: Study your eyes/Eye Map

Hello readers! Eye makeup is the most exciting part of makeup application. This is the first thing everyone wants to learn when it comes to makeup. You can definitely change your look in an instant with eye makeup. So I created 2 basic eye map to show different parts of the eye and where to apply the eyeshadows. This is for beginners and, I hope this helps!

Before we jump into application, I highly recommend that you study the parts of your eyes first. Feel it!! It will be easier to figure out where to apply the colors.

Keep in mind that we all have different eye shapes. Obviously, my eyes are not the same as yours. We may have the same parts but where they are located may be different. For example, finding the crease can be a little tricky. Some people have defined crease which is very visible while some people doesn't.

A little trick to find your crease is use the end of your brush and slightly poke around your eye socket. Be gentle!!

Basic Eye Shadow Application Map

-I used a shimmery white eyeshadow to highlight brown bone

-A Contour color such as a black eyeshadow is applied on the crease to add definition. I applied it heavily because I was going for a night time look.

-I used a grayish/greenish eyeshadow all over the lid are. I made a shape under my crease.

-I used the same eye shadow I used on my crease to darken my Outer V. I like to do circular motion with my crease brush and drag it on the crease. I do this several times until I get the desired intensity.

-A black liquid eye liner is applied on the upper lash line to frame the eye.You can use a pencil instead for an easier application.

-The same eyeshadow used on the lid was brushed lightly on the lower lash line. (this is optional)

-A black eye liner pencil is used on the water line.

The steps I mentioned is just a basic way to apply colors on your eye. You can substitute whatever color you like. A simple tip you can follow is always use a darker color on the crease and lighter color on the lid. There are other ways to apply eye shadows on the eye but I'll get into that in another post.
