Phew! Let me take a big breath after that title. But it needs to be a long title, because it hits on an important topic. A lot of girls are a bit overwhelmed by beauty reviews on eye makeup how to apply it and choose it. If you’re getting confused by the beauty reviews you are reading, then my advice is to stop reading. Beauty reviews should be simple and straight-forward. Not complicated doctoral theses on the chemical makeup of makeup!

That’s why I try to keep my beauty reviews short, sweet and on a single topic. Maybe two if they are related. Why? I really enjoy playing with makeup and learning about skincare. I think it should be fun. So here is my one quick tip on eye makeup how to apply it.

Dark eye shadow minimizes the areas you apply it to. Lighter eye shadow colors bring attention to those areas. So if you want to make your eyes look closer together put your brighter eye shadow shade in the outer corner. If you want them to appear further apart try you brighter shade in the inner part of the eyelids. Try the Too Faced Eye Shadow Duo for some stunning color combinations like Too Faced Eyeshadow Duo Cocoa Lilly with chocolate brown and lilac rose.

This may sound like a simple technique on eye makeup how to apply it, but in my experience, the simplest beauty reviews are the most effective.

Hi ladies! You know I get a ton of requests for beauty reviews on really specific areas of need. For instance, how to put on eye makeup for brown eyes is a biggie! But don’t worry if you’ve got baby blues or glam greens, the basics of these beauty reviews will apply to you too. And I’ll get to your specific issue eventually. Promise!

The difference between how to put on eye makeup for brown eyes versus other eye colors simply comes down to choosing complimentary colors. The techniques will be the same. But pay attention to the part where I said complimentary colors. You don’t need to match exactly (please don’t!) or go to the opposite side of the color wheel. A tone that is similar to your eye color can go along way to act as a background for letting your brown eyes shine.

To make life easy you might try one of the Summer Eye Shadow Trios by Stila. I really like the Stila Summer Eyeshadow Trio Mazatlan and the Stila Summer Eyeshadow Trio Acapulco color combinations for brown eyes. (Besides, it sounds like taking an exotic cruise.) Some colors that go well with brown eyes are copper, bronze, soft champagne and khaki green. For a bit more pop you can add a brighter pink or more vibrant green. Your specific skin tone matters, but these are pretty safe places to start your search.

Keep in mind that any beauty reviews you read, whether for something as specific as how to put on eye makeup for brown eyes, or as general as choosing lipstick, should be a starting point. As you get more comfortable with the basics, you get to branch out on your own. And that’s where your creativity and individual nature really get to shine!
