how do i use eye liner, mascara, and eye shadow in a natural way. i see all these girls who use makeup, but it looks so natural. when i do it, it always looks like i use to much. how do i make it look natural? Thanks!Applying eye liner?
well first off you apply eye liner to you eye lid....and it doesn't look natural to you cuz you haven't gotten used to it yet. but once you start wearing some make-up you will get used to it. start off by using earth tone eye shadows and then as you get used to it you mayy start using pinks and blues and purple.Applying eye liner?
there are application videos on like youtube and stuff.
watch them.
use ur eyeshadow as normal.
Use a liquid eyeliner on your upper lids, using a pencil on your lower.
Keep your hand steady and apply at the corners, moving to the middle of your eye. doing a thick stroke. Rest your hand. Now match the middle and move out going thinner as you move out. Repeat on the other eye
To get big eyelashes, apply 3 coats stroking up. Then where you applied the liquid eyeliner, use your brush to stroke down 3 times. Then stroke back up again.
Hope this helps
you want to go with shades that basicaly go with your skin tone. go to a make-up counter, they can help you out
Try out MACs fluidline eyeliner (and buy the angle brush), it'll allow you to get a really thin line...and it's super easy to apply. Not everyone can pull off black liner, so try a dark brown or a light tan if you are fairer skinned. Only apply your eyeliner from the middle of your eye to the outside (just where your eyelashes look thicker). This just makes your eyes look more awake. Don't do eyeliner under your eyes...it's clearly fake, jsut a little on your lash line above. Or try out a brown pencil, you just want your eyelashes to look thicker - that's the point of liner.
With mascara, try shades that aren't black; fairer people can use brown mascara or if you have dark hair use clear mascara, it's not so chunky.
Buy neutral colored eyeshadow...just browns, nothing shimmery. Just blend colors properly, like use a lighter brown or beige inside your eye and near the outside and in the crease, use a darker color.
Don't worry about foundation unless you need it, but toss on some blush and lipgloss to keep your 'natural' look.
You don't actually need eyeshadow...if it's not your thing, just skip it...it's not a prerequisite to looking pretty. You might be looking perfectly natural while wearing your makeup, but it might be a new thing for you that you aren't quite used to. Get a professional to do your makeup 'naturally' for you, you might like what they do more.
carefully....
EYE LINER: When using eye liner, try to avoid using dark, harsher shades like black. Browns work on almost anyone, and look more natural (the look you seem to be going for). Soft greys work nicely on lighter blue or green eyes, or amber eyes. You can also use white to widen and open up your eyes while keeping the liner subtle.
To make your eyes appear wider and as though there is less liner applied, only apply the eyeliner from the center of your lower lashline (just above your lower eyelashes; along the skin where the tear duct is) and outwards towards the outer corner of your eye. To add extra shape, put a small dot tilting upwards (towards your temples) on the outer corner of your eye.
MASCARA: Apply mascara after applying eye shadow so that extra shadow does not fall onto your newly darkened and lengthened lashes. Use brown or black mascara (preferably brown if you want a more natural look) and focus on the roots of the lashes for the illusion of length. If you don't want to apply eye liner, it can open up your eyes to put mascara on the lower lashes too.
EYE SHADOW: Use neutral shadows like beige and nude pink to keep your eyes widened and open while not being too wild. A pretty copper or silver works too if you want to add extra zing. Put a darker colour in the crease of your eyelids to really make your eyes pop. To make your eyes appear closer together, apply a darker shade on the inner half of your eyelid and a lighter shade on the outer half of your eyelid and blend well. To make them appear farther apart, do just the opposite - darker on the outside, lighter on the inside, blend well.
Best of luck!

Here are the steps it takes
1. Loose Powder on your top and bottom eyelids to make the liner stick
2. When drawing the lines put your elbow on a table, counter or other hard surface to keep hands from shaking.
3. Start by doing the line on your top lash line. Don't start right in the corner look your reflection straight in the eye and either where your iris starts from the inner corner or right in the middle of your iris.
4. Draw a line either in short feathery strokes to get a light color or in one long glide to get a darker color.
5. repeat steps 3 and 4 for your bottom lash line
Optional:
1. After you draw the top line you can exceed your eye, no more then 1/4 of an inch, to give a little more attitude
2. You can make the top line a little thicker to make your eyes pop more
3. You can also blend the line a little bit to look more natural and smoky.
Suggested Products:
TruBlend Loose Powder With Minerals (light airy powder)
CG Smoothers Eyeliner (even line with no pulling/tugging)

Perfect Blend (Classic pencil with blender tip)--This one needs to be worn in a little first either by warming for a few seconds or scribbling on the back of your hand-
Brow and Eye Makers (for both eyebrows and lashlines)
Liquid Pencil (part liquid color glides on like a pen)
CG Eyeslicks Gel Eyecolor(shadow/pencil glides on smooth)-I don't suggest using it as a shadow, it just doesn't work great
All of the products are available from CoverGirl
eyeshadow: using your fingers, a little applicator, or a q-tip spread a medium shade on your eyelid, a semi-dark color in the part that creases when your eyes are open normally, and a light color on the bone underneath your eyebrow
mascara: hold the wand on top of the outer corners of lashes and slowly sweep through.
if you need any more help finding your perfect product, have any questions or comments feel free to email me.
liner: get your hand as steady as possible, then make ONE line with the pencil/brush on your upper lid line (right above lashes). fill in lightly, as neccessary, if you missed a part. then use your finger or a tissue and remove any that is outside of where you want it (on the lid itself, on the corners of the eyes).
mascara: treat it like sugar- it's so good, but looks bad if you have it every day. only use it on special occasions, or when on a stage (choir, theatre, etc). mascara will make your eyes stand out much more than they would without, and i personally have never seen someone look natural with it.
eye shadow: use dark tones that accentuate your eye color (brown: earth tones, green: greens and greys, hazel: all of the above, blue: greys and dark, faded blues) on your upper lid, stopping at the crease. this will bring out your eyes without the overpowering effect of unnatural colors (pastels and crayon colors). THE LIGHTER YOU PUT IT ON, THE MORE NATURAL IT WILL LOOK! you can also use a highlight (one or two shades lighter than foundation/normal skin color) on the bone right under your eyebrow, fading this into the crease of your eye. this looks tends to be more dramatic, but can be used on a normal basis.
feel free to tweak this as neccessary for your eyes, though. makeup is all about expression of who you are, so please do!
The trick is to use as little as possible so it doesn't look like you have much. Get some colors that accident rather than pop out. I always stay away from the harsh colors and go with more softer ones. So even if you put on a lot it still is a bit toned down.
ho dear just take smooth brush apply it with out shaking the hand. apply Daley as parodist u can get the natural look.first take the gum which u get with eyelashes put some on u r finger n rub it and put it on the eyelash and past it
