Hey Guys! For this blog I'm going to be talking about the eyes in this makeup look. The eyes are usually the center focus for the makeup look. When starting your eye look, there are many this you need to take into consideration. According do Gary Cockerill, a professional makeup artist, "Skin tone, hair, and eye color should all be taken into account when you're choosing a color for your eyes"(Cockerill 119). Not only do you have to know your skin type for foundation, but its important to know it for the eye makeup. For different eye colors, come different shades to correspond with that color. For example, if you have blue eyes, the best shades to go with that would peaches, purples, golds, and pink tones. If you have really fair skin, the best shades to go with that are taupe's, browns, golds, and soft tones. However, that's not all. For hair color, blondes usually go with golds, pinks, and grays. While brunettes work well with browns, greens, and purples. Getting the look you want with eye shadow takes time and practice. Eye looks can vary from very neutral to a intense smokey eye. Cockerill says, "From a sheer colorwash or a natural and nude eye for daytime or to compliment a strong lip, to a glamorous contoured eye or a statement flick, there are almost endless ways to make up the eyes"(Cockerill 162). For a neutral look, you want to use soft tones and matte shades. However, for a smokey eye, you want to use dark, sometimes shimmery shades. There are many different palettes that are good for different eye looks. Here are a few that I like to use.
Now that you have read this blog and all the tips I have left for you, what will be your next eye look? A calm neutral look, or an intense smokey eye?
