When applying makeup to our eyes, especially when using dark shades to create that famous smoky eye look, we often find that the product ends up marking other parts of the face such as the area around the eyes or the nose. To stop these common accidents ruining the rest of the makeup on your face, it is best to apply some loose powder before you apply the eye makeup. This will stop the shadow sticking to the skin, avoiding any unsightly marks.

Then, mark your eye with eyeliner in the same color you're applying the eyeshadow. Apply the makeup to your eyelid and smear with a brush from the inner eyelid to the outside. Remember to do so gradually, so don't use a lot of eyeshadow.

Always dab some foundation on your eyelids before applying makeup to your eyes. This simple step will make the shadow last longer, as it will adhere better to the skin. This is one of the tricks used by makeup artists.

Whenever you apply eyeliner to the eyelid, go as close as possible to the eyelashes to make them look fuller. It is then recommended to blend the eyeliner with eye shadow of the same colour to give a more professional effect.

Forget liquid eyeliner if you don't have a steady hand or experience in using it, otherwise you'll end up with disastrous results. It is best to use a good quality eyeliner pencil that glides well over the skin and helps you get the effect you want.

To make the eyes stand out and look bigger, a great trick is to use white eyeliner on the inner rim of the eye. This simple step will brighten your eyes and make them look wider.

Remember that the colour of the eye shadow you choose should help highlight the eyes, not drown them. Not all colours look good on everyone. Everything will depend on the shape and colour of your eyes, the shape of your face etc. Neutral tones like beige and brown are a safe bet for everybody. As for black, give it a try but never go over the top with it, especially if you don't have very big eyes.

Mascara is a key secret to highlighting your eyes with makeup. But as well as knowing how to apply it, it's very important to choose a good quality product and never use it when it's gone past its use-by date. There is nothing worse in makeup than lumpy lashes that stick together.

Waterproof mascara has become a real hit, but unless you live in a place where it rains every day, cry like a baby at anything, or you're a professional swimmer, it's really not necessary.

This kind of product is really hard to remove when taking off your makeup, and during the process you often end up pulling out your eyelashes. So if you want to avoid losing your precious lashes every day, it's best to opt for conventional mascara.

And remember that if the goal is to make your eyes stand out and look beautiful, you can't forget your eyebrows. Make sure that they are perfect, pencilled and plucked properly. This will complete your look and give you striking, perfect eyes.
