Top Tips - Corrective Eye Make-Up


Here's a couple of correction tips for your eye make-up, if you feel that you have 'Wide Set' or 'Close Set' eyes then following this short simple guide will detract from this & create an even balance.


Wide Set Eyes
Apply base colour over Socket
On the Upper Lid apply a darker shade to the inner portion of your lid, blend softly into the socket line.
Take a lighter shade & blend this from the outer edge to where the darker shade is on the inner upper lid.
When lining the upper lid, apply to the inner half, then lightly extend to three quarters of the way over & blend with a cotton bud to soften this out, then take a soft line on the bottom lash line
To Finish, as always apply your favourite Mascara!

Close Set Eyes
Apply base colour over Socket
On the Upper Lid lighten the inner portion, blending softly into the socket line.
Take a darker shade & blend this from the outer edge & into the outer part of the socket line.
When lining the upper lid, apply to the outer half, then lightly extend to three quarters of the way over & blend with a cotton bud to soften this out, then take a soft line on the bottom lash line, again take this from the outer edge & extend just past the half way point.
For an added touch, add a little highlighter with a cotton bud to the inner corners of your eyes which really open them up.
To Finish, as always, apply your favourite Mascara!
