How to appply eye makeup that won't smudge and will look nice on me?

I'm horrible at applying eye makeup and I have no idea where to start. I wear mascara, but as far as eyeshadow goes, any time I try to put some on it disapears easily(I'm assuming because of the oils in my skin?) and/or smudges. I don't know how to wear a little bit during the day, and for big nights I usually stick ot just mascara..I'm even curious as to how some girls line the bottom of their eyes or add a bit of coor there adn it looks nice. I remember I saw a picture of Ashley Olsen and she had little doll eyes that popped bc she had the whole eye kind of lined, or maybe just had mascara the whole way? I've always been more of a lip-person but I want to try something different. I have light brown hair, light to medium skin, and brown eyes. Any tips, suggestions, or advice on applying eye makeup correctly, for the day or night(I need help on both!) or colors that would look good on me would be greatly appreciated.





Thanks in advance.

Here is some tips i learned about make up good luck!





Eye Shadows


To achieve the perfect daytime look with eye shadow, you need to follow some basic guidelines. The basic tones you need are


(a) a pale highlighter shade for your brow bone area.


(b) a basic shade for your eyelids.


The shades you choose can be deep-toned or pale, neutral or bright, but they should be applied so that they are not too strong. Blending is important while applying eye shadow. The colour used should be appropriate to the colour of the skin and match the colour of the dress. When you use more than one shade they should be so well blended that you can't tell where one ends and the next one begins.





Forms of shadows


Eye Shadows come in a variety of forms like pressed powders, pencils, sticks, gels or creams. Pressed powders are the most popular form of shadows. They are available in pearly and matt textures. You can get a better effect, if you apply them with a wet brush. The cream shadows are oil or wax based. It is best suited for dry lids and should be avoided on greasy eye lids. Pencils have a high colour and filling ability. Gels are suited for oily skins.





Brushes for application


A straight - bristled brush for each colour and a round bristled brush for blending.





Application


When you apply eye shadow, always start with the highlighter shade. Brush it just under the outer end of each eyebrow and quickly blend the colour inward toward the inner end of the eyebrow, above the inner corner of the eye. After that apply the eyelid shadow by beginning in the centre of each lid, just above the pupil of your eye. With a blending brush, make a quick back and forth motion. Finish the make up by blending upward to meet the highlighter shade.





Eye defining pencil


Eye defining pencil adds definition and a hint of colour to the bottom of each eye. It is available in variety of colours. The pencil should have a fine point and a medium to soft lead so it glides on easily under the lower eyelashes.





To apply eye defining pencil, lightly stroke a single, fine line under the lower lashes starting at the outer corner of the eye. The line must be close to the base. Run the pencil smoothly under the lashes along each lower eyelid to the inner corner of the eye. Then use an angles brush or a cotton swab to soften and blend the line. Eye defining should be never be a hard, thick line.








Eye liner


Eye liner is messy if you do know how to put on it better to use pencil form if you don't know how. If you are using eye liner just go slowly to put it on


Eye liners are the most extensively used form of eye make up. Eye liner is used to make the eyes more prominent and create an illusion of thicker lashes. Eye lining is done with a back or brown eye liner on the top lid of each eye and sometimes under the lower lashes. The line should be smooth instead of a harsh line.





Forms of liners


Eye liner comes in liquids or pencil form. Care should be taken when using liquid eye liner. It should not go into the eyes. Liquid liners can be either water based or alcohol based. Alcohol based liners are water proof.How to appply eye makeup that won't smudge and will look nice on me?
First things first. Clean your face with an astringent, minding your eyes.





Second, apply your foundation and allow it to dry on your eyelids. This is a good base for eye color to stick to.





Apply your mascara. Not heavily. There's no need to overdo it.





When it comes to doing eyeshadow, apply as little as possible with the cleanest applicator you have.





Cream-based eyeshadows will dry and hold well. Powder eyeshadow works best when blended with 2-4 colors.





Using a light eyeshadow on the inside of your eye and a darker shade on the outside, with the main color in between, this will give you a BEAUTIFUL smokey look, and you wont have to worry about it disappearing on you, cause its stuck to your foundation.





Mary-Kate and Ashley have sticks of eyeshadow, that I have found to work wonderfully. They are dramatic and easy to use. Just glide it across your eyelid and be on your way.








Eyeliner is the trick to making your eyes one of a kind. If you have small eyes, using a brown-black eyeliner in a stick form is best. It wont make you look like youve been beaten up. But still creates definition.





Never apply it all the way around your eye. Start wear the inside of you pupil begins and draw outwards. Also try lining the corner of your eye by applying a bit of liner to the outter corner of your eyelid. (Cateyes made easy)





And remember, take your time doing it, and you'll look great!
So, you are just starter, read useful tips here.
before you do any of the eye makeup itself, make sure that you dust some translucent powder over your closed eyelids. If you have brown hair and eyes, try a soft pale green shadow over the entire lid (use your finger to sweep it across lightly), and use a nice coppery brown (just dot it on) on the outer edge of your lids (the side farthest from your nose). Use a a dark brown eyeliner, definitly NOT a liquid, if you have problems with smudges, and finish up with some mascara on your upper lashes only.

if it goes away quickly try adding a light foundation it will help it stick to the eye lids. since you have trouble with smudging i suggest powder shadows. start by applying a light color over the entire lid. (you can buy a lot of shadows that come with three blending colors in one which is great for beginners) use the med color in the middle of the lid and the darkest one at the bottom along the eye lash line. as for liners they can be tricky i generally just use black or a dark green make sure your pencil is as sharp as possible the easiest way to apply is to pull the skin from the outer corner of your eye to make the skin under your eye taught apply a thin line along the entire top lid and half way across the line of the bottom. stay as close to the lash line as possible. apply it before applying the shadow. once you figure out your skin tone the easiest way to shop for colors for your skin tone is to shop from a line that has a code for warm cool or neutral. neutral colors obviously are for anyone if you have a cool skin tone just buy the ones for that skin tone and vice versa. avon codes their shades for warm cool and neutral and their make up is pretty good. they also have a lot of sales where you can buy one get one item half off.
i think you should try putting on cream eyeshadow, and then apply powder eyeshadow so then the powder will stick and last longer
