Most women I know tend to get rather stuck with one kind of look with their natural eye makeup. For some inexplicable reason, they forget that although their eye makeup is now natural and wholesome, it does not mean they cannot go all out and wild with their makeup. If you are one of those women who is now in a rut with her eye makeup, worry not. Help is here.
What with job, kids, house work, family, friends and society, it’s hard for most women to find some time to themselves to just relax and experiment with their makeup. So my first suggestion to you is to find a couple of hours which you can set aside just for you. Take time off work, turn that phone off, send the kids to mom, and make sure the hubby’s at work. Tell your girlfriends not to drop in, or if you feel better about it, ask them over for an ‘experimenting with eye makeup party’.
Remember that it is best to try out a new look on an ordinary day when it’s not so important than on a special occasion when it really matter for you to look your best.
Ideas for Natural Eye Makeup
Firstly, you must buy good quality natural eye makeup. They are designed for seamless application and blend much better than the cheaper brands. And we all know how important blending is to eye makeup.
Natural eye shadow is the most important component in your eye makeup kit. The range of colors in the eye shadow color palette can be mixed and matched or applied in contrast to create a look that is very unlike you but still looks great. But his does not mean that you simply go for any color. You must still go through the process of determining which color look best on your complexion, and then creating combinations from that color palette.
I know a lot of women who have shied away from exploring eye makeup over the years because they were aware of the harmful chemicals in regular cosmetics. The advent of natural cosmetics has put those fears to rest. Since the natural makeup is better for your skin, you can use as much or as little as you want with no worry.
The ingredients in the natural makeup also nourish your skin. So you will see a perceivable lessening of the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. And if you are lucky enough not to have those yet, then you will notice that it will take longer to appear than is normal if you use natural makeup.
One look that is very popular and suits most women is the cat eye look. This look mostly centers on the sweeping eye liner that goes off the eyes and onto the side of the face. It brings attention to the eyes and makes them look wider – an arresting, sexy look for a night out with your man or with the girls.
To add another dimension to the smoky-eyed look, try using just a touch of natural shimmer or a metallic colored eye shadow. If seductive is not a look you want to go for, then you can try the funky look where you use two different and young (maybe even loud) colors on the bottom and top of the eye.
These looks are just the basics and you can work on them in innumerable ways depending on your skin tone and the resources available to you. But the point is, don’t get stuck with just one look for the rest of your life. Every day is an opportunity to try out a new look with your eye makeup.
