Cleanliness and hygiene should be followed when using eye cosmetics or it can lead to infections of the eyes. Do not borrow or lend any eye make up and it is best to always keep your hands clean while handling eye make-up. Here are some additional tips from Sam Dhatt:
Eye Shadows:
The basic tones you need are a pale highlighter shade for your brow bone area and 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 color used should be appropriate to the color of the skin and match the color 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.
Brushes for application:
A straight-bristled brush for each color and a round bristled brush for blending.
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 color 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 center 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 liner:
Eye liners are used to make the eyes more prominent and create an illusion of thicker lashes. Application is done with a black or brown eyeliner on the top lid of the eyes and sometimes under the lower lashes. The line should be smooth instead of a harsh line.
Using the very tip of the brush, stroke the eyeliner evenly across the lid as close to the base of the lashes as possible, beginning with the inner corner of the eye and continuing to the outer corner of the eyelid. Apply the line in several short brush strokes.
Mascara
Mascara thickens the eyelashes and emphasizes them. It gives eye make up finishing touch.
Under-eye concealers: They are intended to hide blemishes and dark circles under the eyes. Apply make-up over the concealer.
