PREPARING YOUR EYE AREA FOR MAKEUP APPLICATION
This is just basic for when I do my makeup. But I have to confess that even though skin is important, so is eye makeup, since makeup can be used to change the look of your eyes drastically. You can erase under eye circles, add depth to your eyes, and make them larger.

SECRET: eye makeup isn’t easy to do, but it’s only a matter of practice. I promise that if you practice, little by little you’ll become an expert in making up your eyes.

How to prepare the eye area:

It is very important to prepare the skin around the eyes so that the shadows will last longer and it will be easier to apply your makeup. Follow these suggestions:

Remove makeup 

Before applying makeup, make sure that your eyes and the surrounding area is totally clean. (Sometimes traces of mascara from the night before remain.) If you don’t remove your makeup well, the makeup won’t look clean, and if you want that professional looking finish, this is the first thing you have to take into account.
Special treatment:

Another tip is to be careful with the area! This is the most fragile area of the face; that’s why you should be very gentle, especially when removing makeup. If you have to rub hard to eliminate mascara or shadow, this means that your eye makeup remover isn’t right for you.

Eye cream:

Use an eye cream to keep the eye area hydrated, elastic, and protected. When you apply it, apply to the area around your eyes (you don’t have to apply it to your lids) and using gentle touches from the inner corners of your eye to the outside.

How to correct under eye circles and bags:

This is another thing that we don’t always pay attention to, and if circles or bags are not corrected, it won’t look good.

 Concealing circles

To conceal circles, use a cream concealer. If you have very dark circles, this is the best choice, since liquids are very light.

Make sure that the concealer provides enough moisture so that is doesn’t dry out the area.
Then apply concealer with a synthetic bristle brush to the under eye area, inner corners of the eye, and the roots of the lashes.

Apply a small amount of product and blend it softly downward.

Then use your fingertip to tap (not pull) the area where concealer was applied to blend it and eliminate excess product.

Use a concealer a shade lighter than that of your face. Don’t use one that’s too light: it will be noticeable.
When you’ve finished making up your eyes, you can use a concealer-illuminator in the corner of the eye to brighten the area.

Concealing eye bags

If, on the other hand, you have bags, follow these suggestions:

Before doing your makeup, apply an eye cream that reduces and calms the area so that it will look less puffy.

Use a shade of concealer similar (NOT LIGHTER) to your skin to correct circles. If you use a light color, it will draw attention to your bags.
Once you’ve finished with your makeup, you should add a final touch of powder with a small puff to mattify the whole area where your bags are and reduce their appearance.
Remember: to hide bags, it’s important to avoid applying shimmery powders or illuminating concealers to this area, because they will make them more noticeable.

Tips on eye primers will be discussed next…….stay tuned.
