makeover tips for eyes

Dramatic eyes for parties, dances, photo shoots or other occasions. Can have celebrity eyes makeup, glitter makeup, cat eyes makeup (winged eyeliner) and more..

In Emo (a musical and fashion style) makeup, eyes are to be made the center of attention. Lots of eyeliner, dark eyeshadows, thick coats of dark mascara, pale and sunken faces with dark eye makeup. Rest of the makeup should be kept minimal. Remember that the look should convey the shy, sensitive and touchy feel.

While you can wear a natural style of eye makeup for work, many women like to define the eye a bit more. You can acheive a polished, professional eye makeup style by using neutral eye shadow and liner shades and a regular mascara formula (skip the heavy or dramatic formulas for work). Matte shadow and liner is best for a professional look; shimmer or metallic formulas can look too playful. Perform these steps for a basic professional eye:
Apply a base eye shadow in a shade close to your skin tone.
Add a medium neutral color to your crease and create a slight "v" at the outer corner of the eye to define it.
Sweep a highlight shade just under the browbone and at the inner corner of the eyes.
Use a blending brush to blend the eye shadow well.
Apply a neutral liquid eyeliner on the top lid only, making a clean line that is slightly thicker at the outer corner but does not extend too far past the eye.
Curl lashes and apply two coats of mascara.

Avoid harsh eyeliner and shadow lines for a soft, romantic look (great for date night or weekend wear). Instead, focus on using soft color and defining your gorgeous lashes.A simple way to get a soft look is to use a single eye shadow color in a pretty pastel or neutral shade. A color with a slight shimmer can look pretty and romantic. Make sure eyeliner is blended well and just used to lightly define the eyes. Try a kohl pencil in a neutral shade or a shade slightly darker than your eye shadow.The focus of a romantic look is often the lashes. Here's how you can get lush, romantic lashes:
Make sure to curl lashes, 'walking' the curler up and curling from root to tip.
Use an eyelash primer to get longer, fuller lashes and help mascara adhere better.
Use a lengthening mascara on top and bottom lashes.
Avoid over applying mascara; too much will look overdone rather than romantic.

The eyes are typically the focus of scene, punk or emo makeup looks. The style might be very dark, use outrageous design, or use heavy liner or shadow. Styles include combinations of the following:
Gray or black shadow applied to the entire eyelid
Black shadow blended up towards the browbone.
Black liner applied to the inner eye.
Deep colored or lack liner applied along the corner of the eye and along the lower lash line.
Black liner applied to the top lid.
Dark, heavy mascara.
Bold or bright eye shadow color, especially for punk looks.
Metallic or colored eyeliner or mascara

Many gorgeous eye makeup looks from the past have come into vogue once again. Popular styles include the following:
1920s: Line both top and bottom of eye lids with thick, black liner. Cover the entire eyelid with a shadow in dark gray, green or turquoise.
1930s: The deep set eye look was in, so use dark shadow along the crease of the upper eyelid for this effect. Top with blue, green, or violet shadow, medium black liner, and mascara or false eyelashes.
1950s and 60s: Use liquid liner in a thick, bold line across the top lid and two coats of mascara for a simple 50s eye style. Another popular style was the cat eye makeup look with winged liner and a blue, grey, or turquoise shadow.
1970s: Darker eyes were out and lighter eye makeup or bare natural eyes were in. Try light pastel shadows, pale blue, or silvery liner and light mascara for this style.
1980s: Lots of blue eye shadow and colored mascara were staples of the 80s. Goth and punk styles with heavy, exaggerated makeup on the eyes also became popular during this era.
990s and beyond: The looks of the nineties reflected a focus on the individual that extended to makeup. The overdone looks of the 80s gave way to more subdued looks.

Using your fingertip, blend a beigy or creamy shadow (up to three shades darker than your skin tone) along the upper and lower lash line. Curl lashes and finish with two coats of mascara one to two shades darker than your natural lashes. This will give a lovely, very natural look that still draws attention to your green eyes.

Use a cream or white liner on the inner part of the lower lid and a pale teal or purple based shadow in the crease for brighter green eyes. Add a touch of colored shadow along the top lash line to lightly define the eyes. Use a hint of white shadow below the brown bone and in the corner of the eye and blend the crease shade well.

Use a gold metallic eyeliner to line the upper ad lower lash line. Skip the eye shadow, but apply two coats of mascara on curled lashes. Gold can really bring out green eyes, and by focusing on one type of makeup, the gold pencil provides a pretty look that doesn't look overdone.

Although it's easy to go overboard on eye makeup, avoid a heavy hand with color or application when you're going for a pretty look. The trick for this eye makeup style is to rely on soft, blended color, and light to medium shades. Keep your blending brush handy and stay away from the dramatic palettes.Choosing the right color combinations for your green eyes along with a soft makeup style can give you the pretty look you want, whether you want to keep your eye makeup simple and sweet for a night out or you want an everyday look that enhances your eyes.
