Fab Eye Make-up Ideas

What to do when eye make-up has left you uninspired.By: Amanda Anderson

A gorgeous set of lids can get a woman far in her beauty regime, but she won’t get very far if she finds herself uninspired. When a woman runs out of ideas with what to do with her eye make-up, she might as well go bare and forsake color palettes all together.

Before you give up on that dream of having lids to die for, here’s a little inspiration that should tickle your fancy, and encourage you to reach for those palettes once again.

Go for the brighter hues.

Brighter colors are in this season and they look fabulous on lids. The best colors will be cool, with the right touch of warmth to make a statement.

Hues such as blues, greens, and metallics will be a hit this season. Be fearless and go outside the box when choosing the right shade of eyeshadow.

Don’t forget to rack up on plenty of primer when rocking your brights, since primer is the secret weapon to increasing the intensity of brighter eye shadows.

Apply eyeliner to your lash line to add more drama to this look, and rely on a great mascara to complete a look of intensity.

Colored Eyeliners bring the drama.

Dramatic Eyeliner is all the rage, and it’s everywhere from the red carpets to your local social scene of beauty-holics and make-up addicts.

These eyeliners are extremely diverse, and it’s easy for every belle to find a color she simply cannot live without. Purples and greens will be the most popular this season, while some will find it impossible to resist the shimmer eyeliners.

Don’t be afraid to sparkle a little and take the red carpet look everywhere you go.

Get crazy for Cat Eyes.

If you plan on having another wild and crazy night with your gal pals, which includes embarking on a pretty crazy party or two, don’t be afraid to take your make-up to a more extreme level of purr-ty.

If done right, cat eyes are exciting and bold enough for those who really want a change with their look.

To achieve this look, you’ll need a liquid black eyeliner. Gently lift the tip towards the end of the eye to create a cat look, and go light on the eyeshadow.

To add a little glamour, choose a nude or beige color that has a little shimmer to apply to your lids. For the final touch, curl your lashes and use a mascara that will give your lashes loads of definition.

When all else fails, there’s always The Smokey Eye.

The Smokey Eye remains one of the most popular beauty trends, and that’s because it just oozes drama. Versatility also makes this look a favorite, as many colors such as greys, golds, greens, and purples can create this look effortlessly.

Although there’s many colors to choose from, black still remains your best bet for Smokey Eye domination.

Don’t forget to use a great mascara and a little mineral make-up to create a more natural look.
