Eye Shadow Tips

rominent Eyelid
If you have this eyelid you want to make the eyelid look smaller and thinner. So shade the eyelid and the crease of the eye and highlight only below the eyebrow, not the eyelid.

For prominent or convex eye shapes, makeup can help reduce the appearance if bulging, or bugging out. To make the eye appear as if it is receding a bit more into the face, use a dark shade of eye shadow near the lash line and base of the lid. Use a slightly lighter shade for the crease, and blend outward towards the brow bone.

Hooded Eyelid
With this type you want to make it look like there is more eye lid. Apply high lighter on the eyelid to make it look larger. Shade the crease of the eye only and spread the eyeshadow outwards to join the corners of the eye.

Hooded eyes, sometimes also referred to as "bedroom eyes" appear as if the eye lid is partially closed. Hooded eyes often need more prominence, so to give this illusion:

Wide Set Eyes
1. Use a light highlight shade on brow bone and inner corner along lash line.
2. Apply an eye shadow shade slightly darker than the highlight shade over the entire lid and hooded area of the eye.

3. Use a darker contour shade on the outer corner, sweeping up to a light peak.
4. Finish with a liner to define the lash lines.
Deep Set Eyes
This is the most versatile shape because you can either apply eye shadow tips to highlight or shade the eyelid (of course, you don't want to do both at the same time. Make sure you shade the crease of the eye and apply high lighter just under the eyebrow.

The opposite of prominent eyes, deep-set eyes recede back into the sockets. Ideas to bring them out with makeup:
1. Lighten the inner corner and entire lid with shadow.
2. Use a medium shadow above the crease and gently apply it across the bottom of the brow bone.

3. Use a darker contour shade only at the outer crease and dip slightly outward.
4. Keep liner, especially on the upper lid, thin.
You can use eye shadow tips to apply brown, smokey, green or blue shades for any of the above lid shapes depending on which is complementary to you.
How to Apply Eye Shadow

There are two basic ways to apply eye shadow in shape shading, "rounded" and "winged". Now you want to determine what is the best shading shape in your case. You can try applying one shading shape (rounded) to one eye and the other shading shape (winged) to the other eye (this would save you time). Then go look in the mirror and see which one looks best on you.

If you don't have much room between the eyelid crease of your eye and your eyebrow then apply eye shadow using the winged shape (unless there is some sagging).
Winged Shading
Looks best where the skin towards the corner of the eye is not sagging such as on younger women because their skin is still firm.
Round Shading
Use when your brow bone markedly curves around the eye and don't use the winged style because it will make any sag more obvious.

Classic Eye Shadows Application
Rounded Eye Shadow Application
1. Highlighter eye shadow across the eyelid, from the lash line to slightly beyond the crease, and all the way to the eyebrow.
2. Medium shade eye shadow to the eyelid and smudge under the bottom eyelashes.

4. Line upper and lower lashes with eyeliner pencil.

3. Accent eye shadow in wedge at outer corner; blend well.
4. Line upper and lower lashes with eyeliner pencil.

How to Apply Eye Shadow to Create Shape
Now that you know the shape of the skin surrounding your eye you are ready to try to apply eye shadow in several highlight and shadow combinations to help you find the one that complements you the best. Remember that the crease of the eye is always shaded. Here are some of the choices for shading and highlighting that you can try:

* Apply eye shadow to highlight the eyelid, round the shading: Best suited for hooded eyes and older deep set eyes.
* Highlight the eyelid, wing the shading: Best suited for younger deep set eyes.
* Apply eye shadow to shade the eyelid and round the shading: Best suited for prominent lids and younger deep set eyes.

How To Get Clear Skin

Naturally, we don�t want to believe it�s �us� who�s causing our problems. It�s easier to assume or place the blame on natural causes.

Below, are three (3) of my top skin clearing secrets I put together for you. Starting with�

Clear Skin Secret #1:
One Of the BIGGEST causes of bad skin, acne, and pimples will come as a bit of a shock to you (as it had for me when I found out this secret): Vegetable Oil.

Vegetable oil is one of the leading causes of hormonal inflammation than any other kind of consumable product on earth. If all you did was simply avoid using this toxic grease to fry or cook your food in, nearly HALF of your chronic skin condition will disappear in as little as 2 � 4 weeks.

For some people, eliminating vegetable oil from their diet completely IS the cure to their skin problems. For others, it�s part of the problem. Most of us don�t know oil we consume in the quantities we do leads to breakouts.

It�s nothing to be ashamed or guilty of. Most of us have bad eating habits and for a lot of us it�s hard to imagine cutting vegetable oil out of our diet entirely. However, if you�re serious about getting clearer skin, chuck those vegetable oil bottles in the dumpster because it�s not going to magically get rid of itself.

I know people personally, myself included, who after baking our foods like fries, grilling hamburgers (there are a good variety of home grill machines for under $40), or using alternative healthier oils (like olive oil), our skin cleared up in weeks with no extra effort.

Bottom-line, if there�s any one secret in this article that would help you clear your skin the most, THIS would be it.
But don�t take my word for it.

Give it a shot for a week or two and come back to tell me what results you got from clearer skin.

Secert #2:

Another little known secret that causes bad skin is Candida. Here�s how to check in less than 5 seconds:

Get to a mirror. Stick out your tongue. Now, check for any signs of �white coating� � like a thin coat of flaky paste � on your tongue.

It�s not the easiest type of fungus to get rid of, but it�s certainly possible if you drastically cut out sugar from your diet until you DO get rid of it (and, try to stay away from processed sugars long after you do).

What does Candida have to do with clearing your skin? Well, there�s a ton of medical information that details how and why candida effects the quality of your skin. A simple google search will give you deeper understanding.

Clear Skin Secret #3:

If you�re familiar with those famous �Sunny Delight� commercials, the one thing those ads stressed about buying their products is that it�s �hip�, �fun� and �cool� for both the parents AND children to drink Sunny D. But, there�s a hidden message:

Sunny Delight has VITAMAN C!It�s not just in commercials; it�s on the packaging, too. But, there�s a catch (isn�t there always?).

Vitamin C doesn�t do you a whole lot of good if you�re drinking a lot of processed sugar (MOST packaged orange juice products) with it. In fact, it does more harm than good.

I mention Vitamin C as an important process to clearing your skin because it�s one of the strongest natural anti-oxidants that helps keep your skin glowing and fight free-radicals that build up under your skin.

The best vitamin C source is from the source itself � a orange tree. But, for most of us, orange trees are seasonal and take time to grow. Your next best option is to get oranges from a grocery store. They�re very inexpensive and you can get a bag full for less
than a few bucks.
Or, you can do what I do � cut the oranges. Put them in a blender. And, drink it straight with a couple of ice cubes to give it a orange smoothie (without the sugar) texture to it (it�s VERY good! Try it)

Of course, eating oranges getting a daily dose of Vitamin C isn�t the ONLY nutrients that should go into your body to clear your skin. The MORE nutrients and combination of nutrients you put into your body, the faster your skin will clear.

This concludes the end of this article. The only thing left for you to do is take massive action to get the results you want with your skin.
