Simple Rules for Stunning Effects

If you are looking to bring out stunning effects with eye shadow makeup, these simple rules will usher you in the right direction:

• Light shades of eye makeup make the eyes appear bigger
• Use silver or metallic shades to perk up tired eyes
• Brown eye shadow along with other dark shades enhances dimension
• Wear the correct facial makeup to compliment smokey eye shadow
• Accentuate the inner curves of your eyes to make eyes seem nearer. To do this, apply the whole eyelid with light eye shadow, followed by medium shade on the inner corners and merge them for a natural texture.

Knowing the type and size of your eyes will help you determine the right eye makeup:

• Small eyes can be enlarged by applying a light shaded shadow over the entire eyelid; use a darker color such as brown eye shadow in the folds.
• Large eyes can be balanced by using a dark color, extending it to the folds.
• Wide eyes need dark shadow on the inner curves of the eyes
• Round eyes can be made to look long by using shadow all over and continued toward the external curves of your eyes.
