Eye Pencils
Eye pencils should always glide on smoothly. They should be sharpened so they do not drag on your skin and pull your lids. If your eyeliner is soft you can put it in the freezer to harden it back up. Eye liners should be used at the bottom of your lids. Applying eyeliner can be difficult so start out with light strokes and then blend with an eye shadow brush or a q-tip.
Eye brow pencils
Eye brow pencils should be used to fill sparse eyebrows or enhance the overall shape of your brows. Take a sharpened pencil that matches your brows closest to your natural color and gently stroke to fill in any open spaces.
Mascara
Mascara should be replaced every 3 months. Old mascara can make lashes look clumpy, short, and dry.
Try to avoid “pumping” the mascara because it can cause too much air to get into the tube and cause it to dry out faster.
Colors that work for all eye shades
Blue eyes
Browns and rose color shadows look best on blue eyes. Use brown eyeliner and smudge to make it look natural. Follow with brown mascara and make sure to have your lips light and sparkly.
Green Eyes
Brown and purple shadows work best with green eyes. For a daytime subtle look, browns work best. For a more dramatic look, lavenders and dark purples create a striking fun evening look.
Brown Eyes
Blue shadow emphasizes all the different colors of brown eyes. Lighter shades give you the best result. Dark shades should be used in the crease and blended upwards. Highlight your brow bone with a light color of blue. Navy eye liner will complete your overall look. End your great look with black mascara.
