Concealer and Eye Base
Once you have applied the foundation on your face, followed by the face powder, the next step will be to start your eye makeup. Before you start playing with the eyeshadow, it is necessary that you apply the concealer and the eye base. Concealer is for people who have the problem of dark circles under the eyes. Dot the area under the eyes with the concealer and then start spreading it from the inner corner to the outer until the concealer blends completely with the foundation. This should be followed by the eye base which you have to apply on the entire upper eyelid. The role of the eye base is to see to it that the eyeshadow stays on the eyes for a long time.
Eyeshadow
Applying the eyeshadow is the next step of eye makeup. Eyeshadows are available in three different forms which are powders, cream and liquid. Eyeshadows are available in a variety of colors, among which you should choose those that match with the color of your eyes. For daytime makeup, using a light shade of brown will look natural. However, if you have to attend a nighttime party, it will be best to create a dramatic look with the help of 2 - 3 colors of eyeshadows. Choose shades that are light, medium and dark, however see to it that these colors compliment each other. Begin with the lightest shade and apply it ion the entire eyelid, including the brow bone with the help of a flat eyebrow brush. Once you have applied the light eyebrow shade, the next step will be to use the medium colored eyeshadow. With a different eyeshadow brush, apply the second color from the inner corner of the eyelid to the outer edge of the eye. With your fingers, blend the two colors near the crease of your eyes to have an even look. If you want a smoky eyed look, you can use a third color too, otherwise you can stop with two eyeshadows. Choose the darkest color for the third eyeshadow and apply just like you did with the second eye color. Apply a dark coat just above the eyelids for a greater effect.

Eyeliner and Mascara
After the application of the eyeshadow, comes the eyeliner which comes in two different forms. Though the most commonly used eyeliner is the liquid one, you can also use the pencil one to line your eyes. There are also various colors of eyeliner that you can choose. For a natural look, you should use a pencil eyeliner that is brown in color. On the other hand, for evening parties, you can use eyeliner colors that suit your eye color. Whichever type of eyeliner you use, your eyeliner should be a thin line, that is just above your eyelids. You can also use a dark eyeshadow in place of the eyeliner. This is followed by the mascara which has to be applied on the tips of your eyelashes. Before you apply the mascara, curl your eyelashes with a curler and then apply a coating of the mascara over it. The application of mascara not only helps in darkening the eye lashes, but also aids in lengthening them.
