need some tips on how to apply my eye makeup... i have blue eyes with fair skin. i wear eyeshadow liner on bottom and top lid i just need some new tips please helpTips on ways to apply eye makeup?
';To brighten up dull blue eyes or emphasize piercing shades of blue, opt for taupe, lavender, camel, lilac and other shades of browns and purples to make your eyes appear bluer than they really are.';
You can try a smokey look with those colors or if you don't want a heavy look, you can just sweep a light but shimmery eye shadow dust/cream/shadow on your lids.
Try tightlining (lining the lashline where the lashes sprout, not the top) if you don't want a harsh eye liner line.
Also, you can try false eye lashes to play things up when you're going out.Tips on ways to apply eye makeup?
I suggest that you try purple, green, or bronze-goldish eyeshadow. I am pretty sure those colors will bring out your blue eyes more. Especially for the summer now, bronze eyeshadow is very forgiving and it looks great on everybody no matter what your skin tone or eye color is, and bronze/gold eyeshdows look great with brown eye liner. Purple and green eyeshadows are great for blue eyes, they really make them stand out. After you apply your eyeshadow, apply a black or brown(for a more subtle and softer look) cream, liquid, or pencil, eye liner on your top lids and bottom lid and apply some black or brown mascara.
Another thing that I would suggest is to try a bunch of eyeshadow colors and see what works for you. Makeup is all about fun and experimenting, so have fun with it *_*
Good Luck, I hope this information helped *_*
Ahh yes, I am the exact same. I am blonde with blue eyes and fair skin. I tend to stick to black eyelliner but only put it along the top. I also use black mascara on the upper eye lashes and I use Loreal taupe colors for the eyelids along with pink and vanilla. They are ideal for our eye color. I use a bit of blusher for the cheek bones and I use a great facial mositurizer along w/ a great facial cream.
I've summarized your answer on this page because it allows better formatting:

try big fatty mascara from urban decay its amazing and it makes your eyelashes look really long. then try a light eyeshadow since you have fair skin
i think its really pretty when people put shimmer eyeshadow in the corner of your eyes closest to your nose and maskara always looks really pretty and catches peoples eye :]

If you are interested in how to learn eye makeup tips, you might consider attending personal makeup courses, where you have the opportunity to learn or read special books and articles specific to eye makeup tips and be sure to apply the eye makeup techniques you learn. Of course you can look through magazines, where you are sure to find free eye makeup tips.
Understanding eye makeup is complex, because you must take into account many factors, like:
鈥?the message you want to transmit by your makeup;
鈥?your age and the condition of your complexion;
鈥?the shape of your face;
鈥?the coloring of your skin;
鈥?the color and the style of your hair;
鈥?your personality;
鈥?your clothes;
鈥?your accessories;
鈥?the purpose of your make up (day time makeup, evening makeup, special makeup, for different occasions etc).
Here are some practical eye makeup tips, with which you will never fail:
鈥?the eye liner which is generally appreciated is grey or brown;
鈥?in order to give the illusion that your eye is big, underline it with an interrupted line, as close as you can off the base of your eyelashes, which you then blot gently. The line will be applied both on the upper and on the lower eye lid. You can also get the illusion of a bigger eye, if you apply white liner on the mucous membrane, kohl sau kajal;
鈥?in order to give the illusion that the eye is small, color its lower mucous membrane, without underlining the lower lashes;
鈥?in the case of exophthalmic eye, the contour on the upper lid has to be stronger and wider;
鈥?if in the outer corner the eye is a little more lowered than the interior one, then bold the contour of the upper lid on the last third;
鈥?in the case of mature complexions, of the eye circles and in the case of pouches below your eyes, it is safer to draw a contour only on the upper lid, in order to avoid the effect of a tired look.
Here are a few more eye makeup tips...
It is recommended to use for the contour, pencils which have a soft mine (for example, pencils which contain bee wax) and which have the mention kohl or kajal. They are the only pencils which can be applied on the mucous membrane! Using them you can protect the skin around your eye, which is very sensitive.
鈥?the mascara accentuates your look and it can be used successfully, even for the simplest makeup. When you go to the gym, it is adequate just to use a uniform layer on your eyelashes and best if you can use a waterproof mascara;
鈥?using a strong mascara for your eyelashes towards the middle of your eye and curved vertically, highlight the roundness of your eye and give the illusion that your face is longer. The look will become lighter;
鈥?Using a strong mascara for your eyelashes from the middle to the end of your eye, this will make it look extended towards the temples. Your look will become more sensual and more mysterious;
鈥?Using a strong mascara for your eyelashes, from the interior corner of the eye towards the central part, will make your eyes look closer to each other, and the look will seem deeper;
鈥?for an every day makeup, the mascara shouldn't be waterproof;
鈥?the mascara base helps a lot to protection your eyelashes and their finish.
When you are in a hurry, try these quick eye makeup tips.
Wear a simple makeup, using a liquid foundation, powder, mascara and gloss. This makeup matches any age and any type of face, giving you a fresh, bright appearance.
鈥?the eye shadow must be matte or naked.
The matte one gives a natural aspect, and the naked one, a shiny aspect. In general, the naked eye shadow can be applied more easily 鈥?but be careful, not too change the skin too much, especially if your complexion is mature, because you risk to over highlight the wrinkled areas.
The eye shadow will be applied over the contour and it also has the role to set it.
鈥?in the crease of your eye lid, you will get a fine shadow of brown, having the role to get the eye bigger and lifted;
鈥?over the contour of your eyes you can add brown or grey makeup for a natural look ;
鈥?pink refreshes and gives the look a sweet aspect.
Implement the eye makeup tips above, see how they work for you, and with a little eye makeup help, you'll be well on your way to creating sexy eyes which shine

Why do I keep getting eye infections? This is the third time this year. Any tips?
Last year I was susceptible as well. I do have grandchildren and I know they can pass on infections easily but I have not seen the younger family for over a week of recent. And of course I am always washing my hands during the course of a day.
I have been bathing my eyes with water and salt water and have been to the chemist for Brolene. Anyone got any home remedies to help ease the discomfort?
Thank you in advance for your contribution.Why do I keep getting eye infections? This is the third time this year. Any tips?
Sounds like an allergy. Takes ages to find the cause if it is, a process of elimination.
My mum has something called blepharitis, cause unknown, but it's quite common. It's an imflammation of the eyelids. You need to bathe your eyes with cooled, boiled water, and use a soothing eye gel, on a regular basis. Your doc can send you for a check up for this.
Another suggestion if you want to try homeopathic remedies, is tabs called Euphrasia 6, by Weleda, you can buy it in health shops. It stopped my conjunctivitus quite quickly, even though I'd been given creams, gels etc by the doc and had been suffering for nearly 18 months. I went to the health shop in desperation, and I'm glad that I did.Why do I keep getting eye infections? This is the third time this year. Any tips?
If you use make up you should throw it away after an eye infection...especially mascara, mascara should also be replaced every 4-6 months anyway.
Home remedies...Tea bags, make a cup of tea and remove the bag before milk and sugar. Place warm tea bag on eye...i've used them for all sorts of eye problems, if nothing else it soothes. Salt water wash as you are doing is all that half the eye treatments are anyway so keep that one up.
It might be an idea to visit Dr, to rule out infections that brolene wont clear especially as youre having them repeatedly.
Do you wear contacts? Good cleaning of the contact is essential to prevent continued infections. Also, you should probably throw out all of your makeup. You are probably just re-infecting yourself.
Also, I would go to the doctor and not try anything on your own. You only get one pair of eyes and I wouldn't be willing to risk home remedies on them. Get a professional opinion
It could be an allergy to make-up or face cream etc My mum had recurrent eye infections this past year and it turned out to be an allergy to the fumes in paint! think about what you have done differently or used. Hope that helps!
Wash your hands more often......you are probably touching your eyes an awful lot without realizing it.......I don't think you should the water and salt combo......just get artificial tears and try not to bother your eyes too much
The most basic advise is to meticulously wash your hands. If you rub eyes at all that is one source of direct contamination.
keep washing your hands - and don't rub your eyes with your fingers
it might be congitvities.(i think that is how u spell it)

Numbiness in finger tips and pain in right foot shoot to right eye and constipated shortness of breath?
i have a left tooth infection muscle spasm in the right side of face and chest pain.Numbiness in finger tips and pain in right foot shoot to right eye and constipated shortness of breath?
Ummm. There is no one disease or illness that will cause all of these problems (at least, none I've ever heard of). You need to worry about the chest pain first. See a doctor ASAP. Chest pain is nothing to fool around with. The rest of the stuff is not life threatening and most can be treated OTC.

It depends on the shape of your eyes and their color. But in general, you can make the eyes ';pop'; as professional makeup artists say, by enlarging the area of attention around them. This means you draw attention to the by contrasting colors around the eye. Use a lighter color than your iris as a shadow. Outline the eye with a dark brown, gray or even black liner, depending on your iris color. Next to the brows, use a faint lighter color under neath the just subtly draw attention to them.

Tips for eye liner on hazel eyes?
i want to make the green in my hazel eyes stand out-what works? different color eye liner? shadow?Tips for eye liner on hazel eyes?
use a brown eye liner and a little bit of green (not bright) eye shadowTips for eye liner on hazel eyes?
i would say that a light green-ish blue eye shadow and a black eyeliner would really bring out hazel eyes.
i have hazel eyes, wat brings the green in my eyes is a dark brown eyeliner and a light brown or light green eye shadow
purple shades bring out the green. i have hazel and it really makes them more green looking. don't go over board though . shadows browns are nice.
I have hazel eyes and I usually use brown eyeliner and brown hues to shadow my eyes with. I have used a dark green eyeliner (on the bottom outer rim) and it helps, but I think brown or bronze looks nice blended on the bottom outer rim of your eye and up into the crease on top.
yeah mine are a hazely-green too. i use heavy brown eyeliner on the bottom lid and then a thin line of brown eyeliner on the top. then depending on if you want them to look more green or brown, use that color eyeshadow. (but lightly, not like neon colors because that will just divert the attention to your eyelids rather than the actual EYES.) and don't forget to use mascara; it really opens your eyes up and makes them 'pop' :)
I have hazel eyes and would use to always use brown or green until one day I ran out and used the black that I had. Ever since then I have been hooked because it contrasts the green making it stand out even more.
I have hazel eyes, too. I like to use greens, browns, purples, and sometimes even blues, or a soft pink. Check out this link to see what colors can work for you. http://www.marykay.com/daryn_anderson/wh鈥?/a>
A medium brown liner %26amp; shadow work best. I use CG twist-up liner in Coffeeline.
I have hazel eyes, and I use a lot of purples - nothing stand outish or obvious, but definite purples. The color contrasts the green and really makes it pop. I've never been a huge fan of purple eyeliner (I tend to stick with my basic black), but the times that I have used it, I've really been able to see the green.
Try Brown or Black
I have green/hazel eyes and I use a brown eyeliner and either light pink, light brown, and purple eye shadow, or I use a light sparkle brown baby pink, and blue eye shadow! It makes green/hazel eyes POP!
try violet if you want to make them really *pop*
http://www.unitnet.com/cgi-local/mainmen鈥?/a>
I have hazel eyes also. I use this one eye shadow from Loreal .. its called Bronze Star. Its a dual eyeshadow and I use the darker brown. Everytime I wear it, i get compliments on how green and pretty my eyes are. I hope this helps!
for hazel eyes you should wear browns and pinks for your eyeshadow, brown eyeliner and brown black mascara.
Best if you use a combination of contrasting %26amp; complementing colors (i.e. using the color wheel). For hazel eyes pinks/purples/mauves and greens should have the most dramatic effect. Use either green eyeliner with purples/pink shadows or purple eyeliner w/ green shadows - either can work - best to experiment.
For an easy solution, try Almay's new Intense i-Color which is color coodinated by eye color. You may want to try the Green collection to bring out the green in your eyes.
black eye liner green eye shadow.
actually purple eyeliner helps to bring out green in an hazel eye. but dont apply it as it sounds...
-first line ur eye with a smokey dark grey on the top outer lash line
-next use an angle brush to smuge a purple eye shadow in along the lash line
-really work in the lash area.
-apply mascara and ur done!!!

if you want to use warm colors you should use colors like peach, cooper, warm green. if you want cool colors use pink, violet, blue, or turquoise. if you want a natural color then use nude, gray or peach. And if you highlight a spot over your iris it will make your eye color brighter and more noticeable. i hope helped :]
Less is more.
Sometimes, after I put my eyeshadow on, I put a very tiny amount of Vaseline over it, gives it the wet shimmery look, it works great!

Tips on disguising a black eye?
For starters I am female. I got hit in the face 2days ago and now have an unbelievably obvious black eye. Its still REALLY dark and I have to see my grandma tomorrow and go out with friends on the weekend.
Im trying my hardest to reduce the swelling, im just having an enormously hard time covering it up.Tips on disguising a black eye?
As far as the swelling, Soft gel ice packs, ice for 30 min straight. If it is still puffy when u go see nana, pat some preparation H on it. As far as the discoloring, you need to get some concealer. What kind you need depends on the actual color of the eye.
Is it actually black? Or is it black and blue? If it is, skip the concealer and go for a full coverage foundation like dermablend. You can get it at high end department stores like Nordstroms or Macy's.
If it is yellowish, try using a lilac or light purple concealer stick.
If it is like ruddy and red, use a green concealer stick.
Make sure to apply the make up OR concealer with a small, soft brush using a patting motion as the skin is tender because it is stretched out.
Also, try getting one of those gel eye mask that you can put in the freezer to sleep in.
I am a little worried if it has been two days and its still really black. If it is black closest to your nose, rather than the outside of your eye near your cheekbones, it may actually be your nose that is broken. You may want to see a DR hun.Tips on disguising a black eye?
Anything you try will make it look worse! Plus, it will just make it hurt more - I think you should tell your grandma a big sob story and get lots of sympathy!
clinique has a fabulous line of products. if u get their foundation that blends with ur skin tone it will work well but it will completely cover it if u also buy the concealer 2 go with it. (trust me i know first hand.) it'll be about $32 for everything 2gether
As for the swelling, have you tried cold tea-bags? It works miracles.
As for the colour, (I take it sunglasses are out of the question). Best is to disguise it with as many make-up as you have.
Your only option is to black the other one and make like a Panda. Just kidding, look for cosmetic camouflage products, you might be able to get something to cover it for now. Medical cosmetics. OK?
you won't be able to cover it up, you have to wait until the blood is reabsorbed into your system for it to go away and since you said it's black, you still have a way to go until it fades, then turns green/yellow and then disappears. just turn it into a funny story, it will be quite the conversation starter. if you're worried about grandma, tell her you're a total klutzy idiot and you fell or something. but i'm sorry, there's no way to adequately cover it.
a restrianing order and luggage for him
the green and yellow concealer works great. my 4yr started t-ball this summer and i caught one in the eye.I got mine from wal-mart i think it was physicians formula.
use makeup to cover it
i would imagine that foundation would cover it.
as far as I know, nothing fully covers it!
what are you crazy?! my sis got a black eye and she loved it!! so please, enjoy your black eye while you can. you don't get them so often (unless you actually provoke to get them, which is definantly, uh, wrong). but whatever you do, DON'T cover it up!!!
*dragonashes~serpentwolf*
you lie. i got a black eye not to long ago. i had my dog on a retractable dog leash and he ran up to my friend and she unhooked him and it flew back and the metal hook hit me in the eye. use this story and your in the clear.
try foundation?? .... or something
use a concealer...preferably a cream concealer. its available at any beauty store.choose a shade that is exactly matching to your skin than a shade lighter to your skin as paler shades accentuate the blemish or mark.
wear make up or sunglasses!
