How do I put eye-makeup on AND what colours should I use so that my hazel-green eyes look good?

I am a makeup artist and here are some tips and steps to follow:





Dont forget the brushes, that is the main thing i use, and its helpful





How to Apply Eye Shadow





Sweep a touch of shadow over your lids to accent eyes. You can define them, add drama, and make them stand out in a few quick steps.





Application on Entire Lid





Steps:





1. Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder.





2. Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.





3. Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.





4. Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner (see the next section for instructions).





5. Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely.





6. Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.





Eye Shadow to Line the Eyes





Steps:





1. Choose a medium or dark shadow color to line your eyes.





2. Use a small, flat, angled brush for the application.





3. Stroke the brush over the eye shadow.





4. Start at the inside edge of your upper lid. Angle the brush so that the longest tip follows the shorter end as the brush moves across your lash line. Bring the brush to the outer corner of the eye.





5. Create a more dramatic line by wetting the brush before stroking it through the shadow. Mist a small amount of water onto the brush, or dab it into a few drops of water and proceed with the line. The shadow may feel wet as you draw your line, but it will dry quickly.





Overall Warnings:





Don't share eye makeup or tools'you can unknowingly transfer eye infections such as pinkeye (conjunctivitis).





If you get shadow in your eyes, flush them gently with tepid water.





Bring out your hazel eyes with expertly coordinated shadows, soft pencil liner and lengthening mascara.

Eyeliner





Eyeliner shapes and defines your eyes. Choose the color that is right for your eye color. If you have light colored eyes, choose a brown, navy or charcoal. Brown and plum work well for brown eyes. The liner should also be a complement to your eye shadow color.





Shape and define your eyes with eyeliner after you've applied eye shadow and before applying mascara. Whether you choose a soft line or a dramatic stroke, eyeliner draws attention.





Steps:





1. Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.





2. Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.





3. Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.





4. Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.





5. Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing.





6. Draw a line across the upper lid just above the lashes, from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. If you're using liquid liner, allow it to dry before opening your eyes all the way, or the color may transfer into the crease of your eye.





7. If you used a brush or a pencil, soften the look by gently smudging the line with your brush, a cotton swab or your finger.





8. Line the lower lids. Moving from the outside edge inward, draw a line on the outer two-thirds of the lid or more, depending on the look you're going for. Your line should be slightly thicker at the outside corner, becoming thinner as it moves in toward your nose. Using your brush or pencil, lightly stroke the area. If using a liquid liner, apply it in one smooth stroke. Apply less color so your eyes don't appear raccoonlike.








Tips:





You may find eyeliner, particularly the liquid version, difficult and messy the first few times. Practice and have patience.





Wash brushes regularly with makeup remover or a mild gel shampoo.











Mascara





Mascara is an effective way to make your eyes look larger and emphasize your lashes. When it comes to buying mascara there are brands that lengthen, darken, thicken, and add volume to your lashes. Mascara comes in regular and waterproof.





Steps:





1. Consider the types of mascara and select one appropriate for your lashes and the occasion. You have a choice of lengthening, thickening, long-wearing, conditioning and waterproof formulas, among others. For day, you might decide to add length, while a night on the town may require a long-wearing or thickening formula.





2. Select a color. If you have blond or red lashes, opt for brown mascara. Darker-lashed women can consider brown for a casual look, and black or brown-black for more pronounced or dramatic lashes.





3. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler, if desired, and apply all other eye makeup prior to your mascara.





4. Remove the wand from the tube in one pull. Pumping the mascara will push air into the tube, potentially drying out the formula and introducing bacteria into it.





5. Begin with the underside of your upper lashes, moving the brush slowly upward toward the tips of your lashes. Always hold the wand parallel to your eyelid. Roll the brush slowly on the upward stroke to promote separation of the lashes.





6. Allow the first coat of mascara to dry before applying the second coat in the same manner.





7. Use an eyelash comb to separate the wet lashes. Also blot the lashes with tissue paper if necessary to remove excess mascara.





8. Use less mascara for the lower lashes. Begin where the lashes meet the rim of the lower eyelid, and gently stroke downward.





9. Remove any stray mascara around the eye with a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of eye makeup remover.





Tips:


Contact lens wearers should stick to waterproof mascara formulas, as they break down more slowly, minimizing the chance of any flakes getting into the eyes.





Always remove eye makeup thoroughly before going to bed. This will keep lashes healthier and prevent any mascara from getting into your eyes during the night.





Apply mascara after eye shadow and eyeliner.





Hope that helped, you see I love my job.How do I put eye-makeup on AND what colours should I use so that my hazel-green eyes look good?
i dont no wat u look like but use nature colors so ur eyes can pop out more......go to walmart or somethin and get da kit and practicewith diffrent colorsHow do I put eye-makeup on AND what colours should I use so that my hazel-green eyes look good?
two words: green mascara :)
A good make up artist is only as good as the brushes they use and the canvas they work upon!! so invest in some good brushes and skin creams.





Before applying any make up, ensure you have a clean and moisturised face.


Apply a thin base coat of foundation only in the areas that need it, like your t-zone and cheeks and pat it in to the skin rather than pulling it across the face.


Next, move on to a light dusting of powder applied with a soft wide brush and remember to blend, blend, blend!!!


You can now apply a blusher. I find powder blushes work the best and just apply on the apples of your cheeks (the biggest parts). this gives you a cheeky and healthy look rather than a streaky line. Again use a wide and soft brush to apply.


Don't forget......... you are enhancing what nature gave you, not colouring it in!!





As for eye make up, keep it simple! I would opt for a skin toned base coat which can be swept all across the top lid upto the brow bone, and then use a light grey on the outer corners of your top lid. Use a good blending brush and blend the colour into your eye socket. The best way to do this is to look straight at a mirror and keep your eyes open, you will be able to see where you need to go.


Apply a grey or black eyeliner to the outer edges only of your lower lid following your lash line. Blend this in towards the nose using a soft brush to take off the harsh line. (never put eyeliner on the inside of the lid, this makes your eyes look small and the colour will bleed throughout the day leaving a gloopy mess)


Now curl your lashes and apply a single coat of mascara. If you look down into a mirror while you do this, it won't spill onto your top lid and you can keep your eyes open as you do it.


Now using just the tip of the mascara brush, just define the bottom lashes carefully and there you go!!


Don't apply too much mascara as this gives you Spider eyes and is very unattractive.





Good luck and stay beautiful x
