Night Time Eye Makeup Tips

* Start by washing and cleaning your face using a face wash. Next, apply a moisturizer to your entire face, using upward motion from the neck.

* Covering the entire eye area from eyebrows to the lash line, apply a shadow base.

* Now, apply eyeliner from the inner corner to the outer. Similarly, line the bottom of your eyes also. Use a black liner since it is night time however, you can go for brown or a smoke color too. Stay away from bright colors like purples and greens.

* Smudge your liner using a Q-tip. Make sure that the liner is smudged and well blended and is not just a fine line.

* Next, apply a black, plum, brown or any darkest eye shadow halfway towards the outer area of your eye and smudge it towards the halfway onto the eyebrow bone.

* The eye shadow that you have applied on the smudged liner will stick to the eye liner and help the shade to set on the eyes.

* Once this is done, apply a medium shade of eye shadow on the eyelids. You can even use gold, silver or bronze eye shadow to add glow and glimmer to your night makeup.

* Highlight the brow bone area with colors like simple beige, light wheat, white or platinum. Avoid bright frosty colors.

* Apply one or two coats of mascara. You can even touch up your eyelashes with a few strokes on the tips.

* Clear up your under eye area of any fallen shadow. You can apply loose powder on this area before applying eye makeup and sweep it away once the makeup is done.

* To further enhance the glamour of your night time makeup, dust glitter or sparkle around the eyes, on cheekbones or in décolletage.

Additional Tips

* If you have small eyes, use liners and shadows only half way. Avoid lining the entire eye. This would make your eyes appear larger.

* Always use a nude or more neutral lipstick to balance your more prominent eye makeup. Delicate eye makeup can be matched with darker, more defined lips.
