In professional makeup, a lot of attention is given to the eyes. That’s because your eyes are the highlight of your face. They’re the things that people instinctively look at first. Yes, applying eye makeup to perfection is a challenge. But don’t worry. Here, we list a few simple makeup tricks to make your eyes pop. With these, you can dress up for any occasion and put your best style forward.

1. Apply primer before eye shadow
To get the best eye shadow, you need clean eyelids that don’t feel oily. So never forget to begin by washing your eyelids well. After the wash, you could use a primer to create an even surface for the eye shadow. Primer helps smoothen the skin and provides the correct base for your eye shadow. Besides, it also helps your eye shadow last longer.

2. Look down for a crease-free eye shadow application
Most people struggle to keep their eyes open while looking straight into the mirror as they apply their eye shadow. But this can end up with patchy-looking eye shadow application. The way to get the perfect finish is to tilt your head back a little and look down into the mirror; this will keep your eyelid crease-free.

3. Use the right eyeliner for a winged look
For that perfect winged look, nothing beats the finish that a liquid liner offers. But not everyone can get the perfect lines at the first shot. You can use a pencil liner to draw a feeble outline and then use the liquid liner to fill it up.

4. Use dots and perfect your eyeliner skills
Once you’ve selected your eyeliner, it’s time to apply it. Most people struggle with getting that flawless stroke with their eyeliner. Whether you use an eyeliner pencil or gel liner, start by making dots close to each other along the lash line. Then slowly join these dots with steady hands, and you should have a more natural-looking accented lash line.

5. Use eyeliners to accent or embrace your eye shape and size
If you want to make your eyes look balanced, you should only apply eyeliner in the lower lash line. For defining the eyes, apply on both the upper and lower eyelid lash lines. This works particularly well if you have large eyes. Also, use a smudge-free formula. It will help accentuate your eye’s natural shape while also making them look brighter.

With these simple makeup tricks to make your eyes pop, you can enhance the natural beauty of your eyes without spending on expensive makeup products. These methods will help you fine-tune your makeup skills even with minimal experience to boost your confidence and take on challenges with style.
