All women would admit that they are quite conscientious with their face. They buy a lot of beauty products just to make sure they look their best every day. If you check out your makeup kit, one item you will find is an elaborate palette of eyeshadow colors.

How is the eyeshadow applied? It is overwhelming to see different colors and you will surely want to experiment with these until you come up with a beautiful eyeshadow makeup. But to naturally enhance the look of your eyes, learn the basics of applying eyeshadow.

The 2 rules

• Apply a darker color to the outer corners of the eyes and make sure the eyeball is naturally darker towards the outside.

• For a natural gradation, blend the border between neighboring skin and eyeshadow.

The color set

Your eyeshadow set is typically divided into 3 color sets: light, medium, and dark. When applying, follow this guide:

1. Apply a light color all over your eyelid to brighten the eyes. Use a thick brush or a pointed tip to do this.

2. Mix in intermediate colors. Start from the outer corner inward. Make sure to apply more to the outermost corner of your eyes. A light touch will do the trick for the inside corners.

3. Dark colors should be applied along the upper and lower lash lines.

Practice makes applying eyeshadow perfect. Master the basic rules and be aware of the color set.

While makeup is fun, you should also consider your skin. When the day is done, don’t be lazy to wipe your face. To protect your skin, practice the basic facial regimen: cleanse, exfoliate, tone, and hydrate.

Cleaning

This is the core of every skincare routine. Proper cleansing should begin by removing makeup first and then washing your face. Ideally, wash your face twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed. However, if your face is dry, you can skip the morning wash and use water or moisturizer to cleanse.

Scrub

This step keeps your skin radiant, smooth, and healthy. Daily exfoliation allows your skin to receive the moisturizer that you will apply. Make this a regular once daily part of your skincare regimen.

Turn

This is necessary if your skin is oily and you feel like there is still dirt left after cleansing and exfoliating. Refrain from using alcohol-based toners, as this will remove all the oil from your skin and leave it dry.

Moisturizing

A good moisturizer will seal in moisture and prevent skin from drying out. If you have oily skin, use lighter products. It is advisable to consult your dermatologist if you have acne.

Aging is natural and inevitable. But there are facial beauty tips and best practices you can do to keep your skin firmer and more even as you age.
