Makeup for the ladies is part of their lives. While some may not put makeup for daily use, there are those who need to have some colour on their faces before going out to face the world. Basic skincare is also not forgotten as no matter how great the makeup set is, poor skincare will still show.

Eye shadow is often used to highlight the eyes. For some ladies, their eyes are their best feature. Thus, they will use different techniques and the texture for that perfect look. Most of the tips provided will state that the base should be applied for long lasting effects.

Before applying the eye shadow, there are makeup artists who select the colours based on the hair colour. Others will select them according to the eye colour. So, it’s up to your preference to select the colours that you feel comfortable with. Personally, I choose the colours on the whim.

Key point to note is that light colours are applied first. Blending is a must so that the eyes will look natural. Build up the colours as you go along.
