Just looking for some eye make-up techniques. I usually only wear dark liner on the top lid and sometimes white on my bottom water line. But that's pretty basic and I'm looking for something a little bit more glamorous. Ideas??

When I'm going for something more dramatic I smudge the black eyeliner so it's a little more smokey...
Also, I LOVE Clinique's Touch Base for Eyes and their Quick Eyes Cream Shadow. I really like the cream shadow's as opposed to the powder, I think they are bolder.

Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
look up makeup tutorials on youtube!! there are sum rele good ones. sum are a bit too dramatic but u can tone it down a bit.
i like to put a colour in the inner corners and then blend it into black or dark brown at the outer corners. also u can try putting sticky tape from the outer edge of your eye on an angle towards your eyebrows, then apply eyeshadow. it will give u rele neat wings
i also like to put a medium brown all over my upper eyelid and then use a bright blue liner and eyeshadow and apply it underneath my eye. lol sorry its a bit hard to explain, but it looks rele goodx
i like to put a brown or black eye liner on both top and bottom then slightly smudge. then i put a white or very pale colour shadow on my eye lids up to the base of my brow it highlights your eyes i then use a dark colour whether it is a brown black or dark purple etc on the outer parts of the lids heading into the middle of the lid then on the inside i blend a lighter colur sometimes i use a dark purple with a light purple or a brown with beige right now my favourite is a sparkly brown for the outer and gold for the inside i then top it of with black mascara.![]()
To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.
I've found tons of good tutorials on videojug.
Go to youtube and type in MichellePhan. She's a "make-up guru". I'm sure you'll find something interesting there, or get ideas of your own! Good luck~
I like Kandee Johnson on youtube better than Michelle Phan. Just my personal preference though.
Every woman is unique and beautiful. At the same time, there’s no woman lacking any defects of appearance. As for the face, the defects can be easily corrected with makeup and finally appear as advantages. Every woman should know, how to apply makeup so that it would emphasize her natural beauty and make her more attractive and at the same time would hide defects. Depending on the shape of your eyes choose different colors and ways of applying eye makeup. I will tell you how.
Eye Makeup for Deep Set Eyes
If you have deep set eyes, choose light and nacreous tints of eyeshadows, it would help to make your eyes appear visually bigger. Apply light eyeshadows on your eyelid from the inner corner of your eye to the outer and a bit further. Light colors should be applied in the middle of the lid, and darker colors – on and just above the socket line. Blend the darker shade up and out.
Eye Makeup for Wide Set Eyes
You can visually reduce the range between your eyes if you apply a darker tint of eyeshadows from the outer corner of your eye to the middle of the eyelid. Apply a lighter eye shadow from the middle of your eyelid to the inner corner of your eye. Blend in different shades in the middle of the eyelid.
Eye Makeup for Close Set Eyes
Close set eyes are those narrower than one eye width. Apply some corrector on the inner corners of both eyes. Using an eyeliner draw a very thin line with along the upper eyelashes so that it becomes thicker near the outer corner of your eyes. Apply a very thin layer of light eye-shadows from the inner corner of your eyes to the middle of your eyelid. Then apply eyeshadows of darker tints starting from the middle of your eyelid to the outer corner. Blend the colors in the middle of the eyelids. Use more mascara on the outer corners.
Eye Makeup for Down Turned Eyes
If you want to make down turned eyes more beautiful, it’s important to shade eye shadow up and out. Apply eyeliner close to the upper lash line and then blend in the shadow along the socket line in the outer two thirds of the eyes. In order to visually lift the eyes, apply dense mascara.
Eye Makeup for Asian Eyes
If you have Asian eyes, apply light eyeshadows on your eyelids. Use a pencil to make a thick smoky line along upper eyelashes (the line should be thick enough to be seen well when your eyes are open). Under the lower eyelashes draw a thinner line. In order to make your eyes visually wider apply brown eyeshadow on your eyebrows. Cover your eyelashes with two or three layers of dense mascara.
Eye Makeup for Those Wearing Spectacles
If the frame of your spectacles is bright, it is not necessary to add color with eyeshadows. It is better to pay attention to your eyelashes and put the accent on them. If you usually prefer brown mascara, try a black one. To give you eyelashes more volume and make them fluffy, use a dense mascara and apply it from the roots to the tips. Those wearing tortoise or horn-rimmed spectacles should find time and correct the shape of eyebrows and color them if it is necessary. It’s important that your eyebrows and eyes determine your face, but not the spectacles.
The Secret of Big Eyes
Shadows of dark shades make your eyes visually smaller, deep set, while light tints, on the contrary, make them appear bigger, “open them wider”. If you want to create the effect of big, beautiful eyes, choose light eyeshadows. Apply eyeshadows after the application of eye pencil or any other kind of eyeliner: it would make your look softer and dreamy. If you want to make your look more dramatic, apply eyeliner after the application of eye-shadows. Then curl your eyelashes, it would add them shape. Then finish your eye make-up with a layer of mascara. In order to add more volume to your eyelashes and to make them appear bigger use a dense mascara. Never line the inner edge of the lower eyelashes, it would make your eyes visually smaller.

5 eye care tips:
Wash Your Eyes: It is important to clean your eyes.
For cleansing the eyes, water is the best resource you
have.
Protect Eyes From Sun: Sun ray can harm your eyes.
Do not glare at the sun with the naked eyes. Always
wear sunglasses when you’re out in the bright sun.
Take Breaks: For those who work for a long time or wear
glasses it’s a good idea to take breaks time to time at
work. Eyes trend to dry out when doing prolong near vision
work.
Look Away: While working for long hours, looking at the
distant objects and then getting back to your work helps
eyes to focus better.
Sleep Early: Sleeping early at night helps. Our eyes are more
susceptible to myopia development at night. So it’s a good idea
to go to the bed early.
