       Creams, Powders and Liquid Liners

      When you really start to research products, you're going to see that it is much more complicated that just a few simple categories. With eye shadows, you can select from creams or powders. Cream-based shades tend to pack a lot of power, and they can provide you with that dewey look that many ladies crave. However, they can also slide off easily. Powders generally tend to have more staying power, but you could combine the two for a really intriguing look. Eyeliners are often available in either pencil or liquid form. Liquid liners are usually more dramatic, but if you aren't careful, they could start dripping down your face early in the day.

       The Colors to Use

      Let's start with a discussion of eyeliner and mascara. Black eyeliner and mascara are generally considered to be the most dramatic. Of course, all different types and styles exist. Just because you wear black does not mean you need to look as though you are about to appear in a Broadway production. Still, if you want a more muted style, you could opt for brown liner and mascara. For those who are really new to makeup, clear mascara can lengthen and add volume to your lashes without any color at all.

       Colors Continued: Picking Your Eye Shadow

      Once you have the right shades for these two basics, you can start to look into eye shadow colors. Some people say the shadow should match your eye color, and others disagree. If you have blue eyes and swear blue shadow all over your lids, crease and brow bone, it probably won't work too well. However, blending the blue with a cream or white can create a delicate look that's really pretty. Look for kits that contain great colors for certain eye types to ensure you have an arsenal of supplies.

       Covering the Lid

      When you put on eye shadow, your lid of your eye is the biggest part. Now, plenty of different ways exist to do makeup. However, in order to break the rules of makeup application and know your own path, knowing a fairly basic pattern is important. Once you master this, you can start to get creative. Start with three colors that are in the same family. Take the medium one and use a flat brush to cover your entire lid with it. Pay special attention to the crease as this is where shadow can start to fall off.

       The Other Two Colors

      What should you do with the other two colors in the kit? Use the darkest one to fill in the crease even more. You should be blending this with the middle shade to ensure that it looks smooth and professional. As for the lightest color, you can blend that up to your brow bone. Consider where you are going as you apply these colors. For a day at the office, the lid color might be just enough. When you are going out with the girls, get a little fancier and try all three of them.

       Other Tips and Hints

      Using an eyelash curler can definitely bring you some extra appeal, so don't be afraid to employ its power. Before you put any makeup on your eyelids, you need to make sure they are dry. Otherwise, the makeup is going to fall off. You should remember that if you put eyeliner on after your eye shadow, it will look better. If you do not, the shadow will just cover up the liner. Keep a cotton swab on hand, especially when you are applying the mascara. If anything gets messy or all over the place, you can just wipe that bit off instead of having to start all over.

      Selecting and applying eye makeup can seem a little bit overwhelming to someone who has never done it before. Fortunately, once you start to get the hang of it, you'll begin to feel like a professional makeup artist.
