25. The most important rule when wearing a smoky eye is that if you go
dark, keep the rest of your face soft.
26. Use two colors that are similar but different (like light purple and
dark purple) on the lids to create dimension.
27. If your eyes are brown, use navy blue shadow to really make them
stand out.
28. For a unique look, dab a brightly colored cream shadow on the inner
corners of your eyes.
29. If you have blue eyes, apply a pea ch color all over your lids and
underneath your eyebrows to really make them stand out.
30. To further blend a smoky eye, swipe the same color you use on your
lids on your bottom lash line.
31. Rub an ice cube over puffy eyes in the morning to reduce swelling.
32. Don’t be afraid to extend your shadow well above the crease for a
dramatic effect. Instead of an intensely dark shadow, a rich café au lait
shade looks less harsh.
33. Apply a light colored, cream-based shimmery shadow to the eyelid
to open the eye.
34. Change out your mascara every three months. When it comes to your
eyes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
35. Never use liner in the inner first third of the eye; it will make eyes
seem closer set.
36. If you have green eyes, try out purple eye shadow shades such as
lavender, violet, or amethyst. Keep the color sheer so it won’t look
garish. For eyeliner, a deep plum is perfect.
37. Create a triangle of opaque white shadow in the inside corner of the
eye and up towards the brow to instantly change the shape of your eye.
38. If you’re constantly waking up to puffy eyes, consider changing your
laundry detergent. You may be allergic.
39. Apply a primer before eye shadow to give it lasting power and to
intensify the color.
